quick sideline - who's the worst guitarist ever? [in a 'worst guitarist in a band who've made it big' kind of way] my vote goes to the bloke in Lynyrd Skynyrd who does the solo in 'Free Bird'. excruciatingly laboured. best guitarist - comp…

amherst, hope you don't leave apple. the iMac will be fine and its design and usefulness will outweigh will bring you much kudos in student land. I visit UK universities a lot. Macs are far more frequent than you'd expect, and many academics us…

bradbower: icommune may be just the thing for you (until, perhaps, rendevous playlists arrive). in the past, I've always had to log into an mp3 storing mac using filesharing, and play the files remotely. ok over ethernet, can get a bit choppy ove…

[I'm sure everyone has read the book, but it's probably polite to mention that there may be some spoilers in the post below] Snuck in to see TTT last night. London seemed to be just about sold out - we got the last 4 seats on the front row. 3 h…

shetline: thanks for the UNIX heads up. splendid trivia I'd never heard of . did some googling (to google is now presumably a verb) and found a wired article from 2001 (about the billionth second ticking on the unix clock; wish I could work out h…

Same problem has popped up here on my Pismo 500. Am already bored of Jan 1970 In some ways I'm a bit relieved that others are experiencing a similar problem. My initial thoughts were that the lappy itself was starting a long terminal decline. (wh…

Morning from sunny London I only use newsgroups for mp3 binaries, and I've got a reasonably successful setup at the mo using MT-NewsWatcher X 3.2, with Rosetta and Decode da Code doing the background stitching together. I say reasonably as M…

I'm tempted by LaCie's 160Gb 5400rpm external firewire drive as an mp3 jukebox for home. Works out at £340 inc vat. They also do a 120Gb 5400 for £245. (the £/$ conversion is probably irrelevant, as UK stuff always seems to be a bit more expensive t…

Applenut: [quote] I think it will be a still camera probably around 3-4 Megapixels and use either a 2GB or 5GB 1.8 inch Toshiba HD. It will have firewire and integrate directly with iPhoto. There may be a chance they will combine a still with a…
