  • iDave, I'm not saying it would be good, but I'm guessing that this is the direction that they are going to be moving in. (I'm in the same boat as you, the 15gig is what I'm eyeing, and if it is dropped, I will be snatching one up in the next wee…
    in iPod Update One Week From Today Comment by sockboy April 2004
  • My guess is that there will not be a big change to the ipod, but that they will discontinue the 15Gig ipod, and MAYBE introduce a larger 50 or 60Gig model. Prices for the 20 and 40Gig will be pretty much stay the same. This would provide greater p…

    in 'New' 5g ipod earbuds Comment by sockboy August 2002
  • This is a bizarre debate. The Newton is a different 'generation' of product than the Palm. They are not competing products. Considering the age of the most recent Newton, it is an AMAZING device. Obviously Palms have some things that Newtons don…

    in File Transfer via Firewire Comment by sockboy February 2002
  • I have a question about using a software base station. I am interested in turning my imac into a base station, so that I can roam the house, free of wires with my powerbook. Does the basestation computer have to be on the entire time? I would ass…

  • You know what else - now everyone can actually SEE each other. They are no longer hiding behind their monitors. Must make for a more dynamic work space.

  • Epson is the best. I had an Epson Photo 700, and loved it, but recently replaced it with the newer Epson Photo 820 (I had to have that OSX compatibility . . .). Both give amazing results consistantly. Epson also makes one of my favorite papers, t…

    in Any G4 iMacs in stock in Canada? Comment by sockboy March 2002
  • Thanks everyone. I think I will go for the 700. I have a 400Mz DV imac now. So it isn't THAT old. My MAIN reason for upgrading is to get the CDRW. I never use the DVD on my imac (I have a Pismo with DVD and use that a lot). To buy an external C…
    in How much difference does 100Mz make? Comment by sockboy January 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by Mac_OS_X_Addict: You are going to be waiting for a very long time for the Canadian Dollar to go up, especially, in today's newspaper, they are predicting it will go down to 50 cents in the next 5-10 years. Well…
    in How much difference does 100Mz make? Comment by sockboy January 2002
  • IF it was just a matter of border hopping, I'd be taking a little trip to Seattle, or ANYWHERE, to buy my mac, but my problem is the exchange rate. The Canadian $ has dropped, so even if I went to the US, I would still have to convert my CAN$ to US…

  • I don't do video work . . .yet . . ., so I don't know if the HD is a concern. I am Canadian, and am in Calgary. Where are you OSXaddict?
    in How much difference does 100Mz make? Comment by sockboy January 2002
  • I would LOVE a new LCD imac, but I just can't do it. When you compare US$999 to $1299, it doesn't seem like much of a difference. BUT the Canadian $ is SOOOO weak right now that it makes a huge difference for me. ($1579 700MZ vs $2049 for the LCD…

    in Can't believe the resell price of the Rev D iMac Comment by sockboy January 2002
  • Did you just order Word or Office? Because with the rebate right now for office, I would think the price must be about the same.

    in Pismo and os X - Good or sucky? Comment by sockboy January 2002
  • Mayo on fries is a french thing. But of course the big french Canadian thing for fries is Poutine - fries covered in cheese curds and gravy. And Canadians do put mayo on their burgers - I thought I heard that is unusual.
