the Magic Trackpad
Oh man, I want that for my work machine! Except it's an old G5 with no bluetooth. BOO.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I wonder if you can use a bluetooth USB dongle?

Wouldn't help - Snow Leopard only runs on Intel.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I didn't notice that Apple will be dropping both the 24" and 30" monitors, and will only be selling the 27" going forward.

Magic TrackpadPretty sweet! Love the new trackpad on my new work MacBookPro. Dunno if it's worth $70 for a 'mouse'.

I am on my work computer trying to figure out how to get the neat feature in Thunderbird that my home computer has. For the life of me, I can't find where to turn on the Quick Filter option, and don't recall doing it on my home machine. After much research, I come to realize, that is a new feature to 3.1. Home is auto update the software, work, was not. All fixed. Thought I'd share the funny.
ION- It seems work has in a closet, a shiny cheese grater Apple G5 tower. Apparently missing some internal parts (at least the hard drives, and something to do with the processor). Not sure what is wrong with it, that caused them to partially gut it. It being so pretty, it pains me to see it just sitting in the closet. I was curious if anyone had any thoughts? Can I completely gut it and rebuild it as an Intel machine? Or is the architecture different? Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Since it is University property, we can't toss it. And since IT purchased it, I can't give it away. And apparently since it's old technology, IT doesn't want it back.

It's a bit of a doorstop. If youcan get it running you could use it for Qlab, but you'll probablyspend more than it is worth getting it running. I have a dual core G5 tower collecting dust in my office right now. It gets turned on about every 8 months to run a system update.
