I've been eyeing the iPod mini for a while now and I'll have a closer look when they reach Canada (which should be very soon by all accounts). I'm also going to going to break down an buy a better keyboard for the G4 and there are a couple of Macall…

Beer: There are a lot good microbreweries in the Vancouver region - Yaletown, Granville Island, Big River Brewing, etc. I usually have Guinness and Heiniken on hand as well. Scotch: Glenmorangie, one that escapes me at the moment and Aboulour(sp?…

Just got back from Spidey 2... wow. I just read that the movie took in over 180 million in it's first 6 days - I can see why. I think I can comfortably say that this is now my favorite superhero movie. Raimi has always been one of my favorite dir…

The new iMac won't have PCI-E - it's too new and more expensive than AGP and Apple will want to keep the prices down on their consumer desktop. We'll first see PCI-E on the PowerMac, and don't hold your breath until at least the end of the year befo…

My favorite for general usage - the Logitech MX510, the smoothest tracking mouse I've ever used. The MX510 has the best hardware of any mouse AFAIK. It has 8 buttons and fits my hand perfectly (if you're a righty... ). For precision Photoshop us…

Definitely have it checked out - excessive heat is bad. If your power supply goes it could be dangerous too. C.

Bah... I've long given up hoping Apple would put out a remotely decent mouse and keyboard. I personally recommend the Logitech MX 510 Optical mouse (but for serious Photoshop work I like to use smaller mice - like the MS Wheelmouse Optical) and Maca…

Yes, it is a ripoff of Konfabulator and poor form on Apple's part not to even discuss this with them. But keep in mind that Konfab is esssentially just a ripoff of DesktopX's Objects and Widgets. Just my 2 bits, C.

$6,301.92 CDN (after tax.) for that 30 incher and the Nvidia card. $10,849.38 if I wanted to wrap it with a dual 2.5 Powermac. C.
