  • 4934 with year-and-four-months old 867 Ti PowerBook. (10.3.3)

  • That will be an ideal travel lens and camera combination. I'd go ahead and find a zoom or prime somewhere more in the telephoto range - 200mm+. And, as always, get the cheap 50mm f1.8 -- WONDERFUL portrait lens, esp. with 1.5X factor on the camera.…

  • What lens is included with the D70? 28-70 AF-S?

  • Congrats! From what I've heard it might actually be a tad better than its older brother the D100 (excepting construction quality --- had to cut costs somewhere); tell us how it goes, and put up a few small sample shots!

  • I just don't think this would (will) happen. There are too many advantages in having such a small form factor; it will not disappear. For business travelers the 12" PowerBook is a godsend. Remember the bulk of the Pismo and the current 14" iBook-…

  • Speaking of the S4/the S line in general, is Audi planning to introduce a new S8 based on the brand-new A8L design?
    in Choosing between Audi TT & 350z Comment by fred_lj March 2004
  • If the Z's automatic is as good as some say, and you'll be driving it mostly in city traffic, then get what works for you. I must speak in favor of Nissan/Infiniti automatics, though, in terms of a 1994 Infiniti Q45 I drove last year. That had to …

  • Edit: didn't know he was 13, in which case he probably can't "buy" internet service himself anyway since a credit check is involved on most levels. I still say DSL would be the best option.

  • Just another business ploy...create jobs in some useless department again. Gee, I guess we can all just work for the government one day, right? But this is going a bit too far. If anything, this could be done on an as-needed basis, as Verz…

  • A good morning radio station helps my 45-minute trip...sometimes NPR, but usually not now that I know they just repeat their nonsense every hour; at least the intellectually useless radio stations offer some degree of entertaining distraction from g…

  • Gustav Mahler.....so much more for me to discover from this incredible, visionary composer. His stuff is sort of an "acquired" taste, so it's best to start out with stuff that won't bore you to start with (heh, sorry, no other way to put it until y…

  • RadTech's hinge adjustment system isn't all it's cracked up to be...use caution. And don't accidentally hit your PowerBook with things like screwdrivers.

  • I had a 500 MHz G3 12" iBook for a while...it performed very well under OS 9 (which is all I ran at the time). I did InDesign/Photoshop work on it, and it never really complained (had a lot of RAM in it also). But, yes, having a G4 now has changed…

  • It's CG that's made the first two prequels such a joke...I'm glad this is false information.
