All surge protectors based on MOVs including the cheap (or expensive) power strip protectors will eventually wear out. These are sacrificial surge protectors, and work by sacrificing themselves in order to protect your equipment. Problem is, a hig…

It's not a bad time to buy, especially if you're not buying directly from Apple. Come January, who knows how long resellers will have to wait to get stock of whatever Apple comes out with. The current platform is proven, machines are in stock …

This question is about new Macs that don't come with Leopard pre-installed, but instead have the "Drop in DVD". If you are transfering your data from a previous Mac (running Tiger) to the new Mac via firewire, and also want to upgrade to Leopard,…
