I got $1,850 (Canadian) for my G4 400, 10gb 5,400 and an 80gb 5,400, 17" Apple CRT in trade towards a PowerBook. So it might be worth more than $1k, I don't know though. Just though I'd mention it.

In my Media Studies and Graphics courses in high school we used Macs, and when we got the first iMac I knew I was hooked. I had just wasted $6,700 on an IBM Craptiva (AKA: The IBM Aptiva ) and after a few months of blue screens, viruses and bloa…

I've got this Sanyo hooked up with Telus. It's quite a decent phone with a ridiculous amount of features!

Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but I like her. "Hands Clean" is a terrific song. At least it's not electric remixed ultrapop. ICK. We know she sings her own songs. Her web site is pretty cool too.

I don't drive but if I did and decided to get an SUV there is only one I would consider buying: A Land Rover. These seem like the real deal to me. I saw a video of one with some kind of multiple suspension dealy where if you're driving over a huge r…
