All is well that ends in pizza.

> They hooked the eMac up to one of their external hard drives and could not get anything at all off of it in the store. The fellow shook his head sympathetically and said that it would take a lot of time to suck the binaries off the drive and, even then, there was no guarantee that any of them would line up into useable documents.

I took that to mean deaddeaddead. Am I right?

Maaaybe. Here's one site with a detailed how-to for the original model: [link]

Plus from this Apple [link] it says

The contacts for the CRT are under a thick rubber boot first of all, so to contact them takes a little trying actually. In addition, that area is on the other side from where you would be working to change the hard drive, so you normally wouldn't be near it to begin with.

you will all be pleased to know that I managed to transfer the songs from my iPod to the new iTunes!! It was kind of a pain in the ass, it wouldn't go automatically, so I had to paste the files from 40 folders, but they're there!!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

so, if you have an iPhone or iTouch and pay for an AT&T data plan, you can surf in Starbucks for free?

Apparently 'at a later date' iPhone users will be able to use it free. They're not rolling it out for a while yet 'cos they're replacing all the kit in all the stores.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Where do you hear that, Kevin?

Do people really expect to be spending more than 2 hours at a time sitting in Starbucks' surfing the web that this is going to be an issue?

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

Some people do. But I'm not one of those people.

Had they had AT&T and free wireless yesterday, I'd have been there all day. Home internet is out right now and I had stuff to do. Ended up at the library instead.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've known a number of people who've written their whole dissertations/books in coffee shops, or use them to be out of the house while freelancing. Of course, they're smart people who seek out the places with actual free wireless, but the time spent is totally plausible.
