I could repeat "New Jersey" over and over, but then you might have to shoot me or something.

Problem solved. Thanks both. After thirty minutes on the phone with Comcast last night I was ready to pull my hair out. I tried again this morning and actually got a tech who knew a thing or two. Turns out Eugene was right, in a sense. Comcast …

I recently upgraded to 9.2 (yes, I'm a little behind the times) and the one real improvement that I noticed (being non-technical) is that my iMac wakes up from sleep mode dramatically faster, which is nice. And they eliminated that annoying start-u…

Yeah - the Apple rep at the Genius Bar earned his stripes by diagnosing and fixing the problem pretty quickly. I did hang around and reinstall the hardware drivers after re-booting in OS 9, just to make sure that everything worked before I took it …

Things do look slightly cartoonish. I'm playing Starcraft Broodwar on my new iMac SD, which is native at 1024, but SCBW runs in 800x600, so the images appear a bit oversized. Blizzard needs to release a new version of SC (please!). One thing th…

I'm number 25 or so on the Apple Clarendon (Virginia) Store iMac SD list and I was called yesterday to come in and pick mine up. So the new iMacs are slowly working their way out to the Apple stores.

The new iMacs are in at the Apple Clarendon (Virginia) store. A shipment of 7-8 iMacs arrived today and the lucky winners were notified to come pick them up. Unfortunately I'm around number 25 of 100 on their list, so I'll have to wait a day or tw…

It appears that production is still continuing. Found this on MacNN: SCMP, an Asia Hong Kong news group, notes that while Quanta, a Taiwanese manufacturer for Apple notebooks (as well as Dell and HP) has won the contract to manufacture the new i…

I've always wished that Apple would make the shells easily detachable so that third parties could provide their own mods. Can you imagine a wood or leather iMac casing? Or a rainbow color scheme? Or a chrome iMac? The possibilities to express yo…

I agree that not everyone has broadband access and that the number of broadband users has not grown as quickly as predicted in some quarters. It is effectively beyond dispute, however, that broadband (of some sort) will eventually supplant dial-up …

Good points. But in some markets, such as Canada and South Korea, the number of broadband connections equals or surpasses the number of dial-up connections. Regarding the U.S. market I'm not sure what the rate of penetration is exactly but I bel…
