Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I need to install a bigger HD on my MacBook. I was thinking I could upgrade to Leopard at the same time. But I don't want to wait until October.

Maybe when I install Leopard, I can use the time machine to push the installation back to now.

That's true. The iPod does need more room. My 80 GB is bursting at the seams. I did get in on a promotion with the new MacBook Pro, so I'll be adding a free iPod Nano to the collection, and when I buy my iPhone at the end of the month (Yes I'm planning on camping out) that will be yet another iPod.

I opted for the 250 GB hard drive option on the new laptop. I figure if I'm going to run Boot Camp I'll need all the extra space I can get. I'm actually thinking that if it works out well I may be actually giving up my desktop Mac and going completely laptop based.

Did you spring for the 4 gig of RAM?

Not at Apple's prices.

I'm probably going to jump to 4 gigs in the next month, but I can get it for less than half of what Apple is charging.

I'm amazed this hasn't hit the boards yet. Mr. Wizard is dead.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can't get the sign saying, "beware of the leopard" out of my head.

The lights had gone!

So had the stairs!

I raise a mayonnaise jar in his honor!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That's a shame. I used to watch him all the time when I was a kid.

Ann, that's a ferret.

XM's '60s on 6 is giving La Crosse, WI, their "Six Gun Salute" as city of the day today, in honor of Mr. Wizard having grown up there.
