Spike ,'Get It Done'
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!
It's buried in a pile of godknowswhat in a corner of our dining room. It hasn't moved since I disassembled it. I haven't purged the harddrive and would have to find motivation to go through the process of pulling out the 160 GB drive from the casing, replacing it with the 80 GB drive, purging it, and then putting the 160 back. All of which I can do but haven't till this point.

It's on my list with a fair amount of other stuff. Once I can get the data moved to another drive and then wipe that one then I'll take a look at the machine to see if there's a place we can put it to good use, if not we'll probably send it your way.
Aha. No hurry. I was just reminded of it by my conversation with Omnis.
That and spilled soup seems to have recently happened to the top 1/3 of the trackpad on the Powerbook I bought from you for Andi.
Samsung shows off sexy OLED laptop, coming in 2009?
We don’t usually follow what all the other blogs are doing, but in the case of this Samsung OLED laptop prototype, there’s good reason why everyone’s jaws seem to be dropping. First of all, there’s that 12.1-inch 1280x768 OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display — new screen tech that was flaunted by Sony and others at the past couple of CES shows — looking so sharp and contrasty that it’s hard to believe you’re looking at mere video.

That may be too thin for me.
That may be too rich for me.
I'm not sure I dig the red/blackness, but the OLEDness is pretty hot. Also, that keyboard looks flush against the case - is it a touchscreen keyboard? I can't really tell.
A key moment in the evolution of the PC: Byte Reviews the Compaq - First PC Clone (Jan, 1983)
Unlike the IBM machine, the Compaq does not have a disk-drive expansion connector from the disk-interface board, but you can plug an IBM floppy-disk controller board into one of the expansion slots and add two additional drives. Finally, the Compaq, in another variation from the IBM PC, does not have a cassette interface; the Compaq’s disk drive is a standard feature, so its designers chose not to include one.
I used one of these (with a 10-meg HD) at my first programming job back in '84-'85.
Can Leopard be installed on any dual core computer?
Out of the box, Leopard can only be installed on Apple hardware.
There are hacking sites that let you do that, Sean, but from all accounts, it doesn't work very well (the fans might run at full blast all the time, for example).
I hear that it works better inside a VM, like VMWare.
