  • Gee, everyone, thanks for all the help! Anyway, got it worked out. Can't say that I really understand it though. I plugged her iPod into my machine, and tried to manually sync it. This had no effect --- after clicking "OK", the radio buttons…

  • The target for the mini is not for geeks like us who will use excess space for backup and so on. They don't care about tons and tons of space. They care about *some* space Gigs verus tens of gigs. And style. And size. And color.
    in iPod mini, mass appeal or not? Comment by machem February 2004
  • The $75 price difference put the nail in the coffin of a mini (did that make sense)? Plus, now I can get an iTrip (or two?) and some ear-hook phones (what she prefers), and maybe some in-ear phone plugs without too much squawking. I'm going to t…

  • Well, she's not getting a mini. I went to Target, because I heard that they had 3G, 10Gig iPods for $199. Sure enough, they had one, but it was not $199. It was $150!. I snatched that sucker up. If she gets hooked on the iPod thing, and decid…

  • I'm about 3 for 5. No cheats, but I do check before I open to the bottle (after I buy).

  • Quote: Originally posted by pscates Yep, that's pretty much what I was wishing for the other day: IMO, the PERFECT iPod would be one with the mini's size/shape and the regular iPod's skin. Small and glossy white/chrome. With about 20GB and ful…

  • hmmm. That sucks rocks. Hopefully all will be well now, the warmth of a new machine (literally) will drive away the sour taste in your mouth. I'm only a few miles from Sacratomato so hopefully that won't happen to me.

  • Did you get your G5, rentedmule? Dual 2.0 refurbs showed up today ---- $2400 vs. 3000 new, 2700 EDU new. I'm still waiting for a $$ transfer or I would have jumped on this today.

    in countdown to new g5's... Comment by machem February 2004
  • MacBidouille (have to check that spelling every time), while no longer doing the rumor thing, does have an interesting tidbit. Someone received a 1.6GHz G5 with 8 memory slots (i.e, a dual motherboard). They imply this means the single proc mbs ar…

  • RPN... LaTeX... Apple Computer. Yup, I definitely see a pattern here. RPN also has ruined me --- I simply cannot use a "normal" calculator. I have a 20S and a 32S. The look exactly the same to the eye, but the 32S is RPN. I keep the 20S in ca…

    in What can I do with a memory stick? Comment by machem February 2004
  • I think the PC card is 4-channel ("4x") and the Mac is 8x. There are some other differences (chip MHz?). Barefeats had some info on this in one of their recent shoot-outs. I think the differences made using one over the other a wash.

  • Well, I thought it would be possible to save money within a new G5 purchase if I got an "other" LCD 17", and the $40 adapter to use it with the ADC Pmac. Nope. The skinny is that at $599 (academic), I might be able to save $100 with a quality …
