Will locals recognise it, though? Weegees don't eat fruit, do they? Now if it was a fried Mars Bar ....

I purchased SuperDuper recently, and so far it works like a charm. I backed up my entire HD last weekend (about 1 1/2-2 hours, via FW800), and did my first subsequent backup last night (7 minutes). Easy peasy. I currently own just one 500GB ext…

When I first heard the words "bridge", "Mississippi River", and "collapse", I immediately thought of the Huey P. Long, just outside of New Orleans: Now THAT'S a disaster waiting to happen, right there. The lanes are so narrow it's scary just…

Agreed, there is some nice work here. I, too, share Shetline's desire for high-quality artwork for my iTunes library. With this is mind, I would like to offer up two websites that some here may find useful. Both have good quality images for a w…

I updated my 2nd-gen C2D MBP last night then had software to install from DVD and several CDs to import into iTunes. No problems so far. My hope is that the firmware update will do exactly what it says -- improve readability. My biggest (only) …

I'll put my hand up for Lightroom. I hummed and hawed for weeks over my decision, then finally plumped for LR about two weeks ago. Still early days, of course, but so far I couldn't be happier. The editing interface is simple and powerful, and I …

I find it slightly -- just ever so slightly -- irksome that the 13" MacBook now has a faster optical drive than the 15" MBP.

I've never owned an external hard drive before, so I did some research before finally settling on the G-Tech G Drive Q 500GB. Part of my research involved reading the MacWorld article mentioned above. While it was useful in pointing me in the ri…

Um, why don't you try burning a dual-layer disc?

There's a whole museum full of pseudo-scientific nonsense in Glen Rose, TX: http://www.creationevidence.org/ I must visit it one day, if I can drag my prehensile tail out of the cave.

I've been to concerts in Japan (the pretext for my 1996 visit was to see six David Bowie concerts), and it is very different from attending shows in the West. The Japanese are very polite and ordered; they stand by their seats (no pushing and shovi…

I was born in Manchester, England, where I lived until I was 26. I then moved to Edinburgh, Scotland for five years, before relocating to New Orleans, LA. I've been around most of Western Europe, North America, North Africa, and the Far East in …

I wrote a long reply to this thread the other night, but my sign-in timed-out before I clicked send. Anyway, most of what you need to know has since been covered by others, but no one has yet mentioned the cheap rail passes available only to foreig…

I just bought the very machine you are considering. I, too, considered Amazon, but ended up ordering online from Apple.com for three reasons: 1. I work for a university, so I qualified for the educational discount, which essentially cancelled ou…
