He's had a pretty good damned life, then!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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!

A possibly very dumb question: When did the black Macbook go away? I could've sworn I was looking at it online recently but it's entirely possible that I may be losing my mind.

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

October, when the new models came out. You may still be able to find them as refurbs.

Okay, losing my mind then. Thanks!

Sorry about the mind thing!

I wasn't using it much anyway.

that has more i/o then I could hope to use. I don't even have my cassette tape deck hooked up anymore, or turntable, since I never use them.
For me the i/o was all about the video. There's an HD Tivo with HDMI out, PS3 with HDMI, Apple TV with HDMI, Wii with component, XBox 360 is connected to the TV via VGA since I don't have one of the newer models with HDMI, then there's optical connecting the 360 to the receiver. The PS2 is also connected via component and optical.
Yeah, I might have a game system problem.

There is no way in hell I could ever justify the cost of a PS3 just to get the B-R deck. Or a $400 A/V reciever for that matter.
I also can't see myself needing more than 2 HDMI inputs in the foreseeable future (Cable/DVR & DVD player), which is what most of the $150 models I'm looking at come with. My current game system is a GameCube (composite).
[eta: I don't mean to sound snotty - I really do agree with the general philosophy about getting the best value rather than just the best price. But I work in public television and DH is a journalist, so the reality is we have to be bargain shoppers even if there are better values out there for "just" a couple hundred bucks more.]

Jessica, don't worry, I don't take what you are saying as snotty. I totally get it.
There is no way in hell I could ever justify the cost of a PS3 just to get the B-R deck.
I was actually feeling the same way until I looked at the prices of pretty much any of the real name brand B-R player and realized that the PS3 was no more expensive.

The status is NOT quo.
Yeah, I might have a game system problem.
Might?
And Jessica, I hear you on the "just" a couple hundred dollars things. It's a source of contention between ND and me from time to time since we do separate finances and all my "extra" income goes to debt. It's nice having high quality stuff, but I wouldn't have any of this on my own.
