I'm loving the new dual boot systems. I'm buying two of the new iMacs and a reconditioned MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks to run things for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. The software that runs everything is actually windows software for they'll be in bootcamp with WinXP Pro the whole time.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Drew, you aren't looking to pass on any of your older machines, are you?

The machines that I'm replacing are all only PC's and they are pretty beat up desktops.

Gotcha. I've talked myself out of buying another computer again. As long as this is still working I'm going to use it, I think. that's the sensible thing to do.

The only used Mac laptop that I've got right now is my 17" Powerbook G4. It's a 1.33 GHz 17". I believe it currently has 512MB of RAM and an 80 GB hard drive.

Heh. That's definitely more than my 15" G4 Powerbook with 20 gigabites of ram and 550 mHz processor. The fact that it's running 10.4.9 still impresses me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe the IR sensor is partially blocked, and the wall bounces it to the sensor perfectly. Maybe DVD/Tivo/Cable box is too close and doing same?
Apparently the sensor is right on the front of the TV, so who knows.

Toshiba owners I know tend to be pretty happy with their machines, so that would be my pick in that price range.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
EMI's files, as sold by Apple, come with the buyer's name and e-mail address embedded in the file's header, where it can be easily read.
Well, I only bought the one. Not sure if I'll continue. Although the one DRM-free song I bought is probably the one I'd be most embarassed by having my name attached to, it being a Spice Girls number and all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I can't imagine it was very long after the DRM-free watermarked media were available before some sort of stripping program was on the 'net.
