I guess we have diverged from the thread topic. I was waiting for a return on the ibook thread, and here it is on the mac mini thread. 10" would be good. If Apple uses the 13.3" widescreen, there would be room for a smaller classy subnotebook.…

Will Minolta cameras be sold as Minoltas through the summer? What is the timetable on this turn of events? Sony will be selling the Minolta camera stock that remains, then the name turns to Sony?

I like the name iBook, too. It is simple, and people have an attachment to already.. For its cpu, I hope it does come with a dual core, that would be great.

Thanks for the several links to reviews of FileMaker. I had read some reviews, but you included some I had not, which I just went through and read. The TidBits review, by William Porter, a former classics professor, and the Tokerud blog were the …

I talked with a camera dealer this weekend, and his understanding was that this summer Minoltas would be sold under their own brand name, as Minoltas. I thought the announcement was that until March 31, there would be Minoltas. Perhaps it depends …

Ah, Alienware. I had put down Roswell(where my aunt lives), and Area 51, as possible names(not serious, except Roswell is good), but of course, they are taken. They do a good job of packaging and presenting their products. Often too colourful for …
