Thanks! I actually did order one; it arrived today. Didn't really bother with the screen protector, but the rest of the setup is nice.

Isolated the "Slow Pro" problem to what appears to be a slow network problem that has appeared on this computer in the last 3 weeks. Four other computers do not have this problem. Used Tech Tool Pro and checked all six drives - they check ok. I think it may be a problem with software from the MacUpdate Spring Promo bundle, since it was around the time that I installed this software that the problem appeared. Anyone have any additional ideas or know if that promo bundle is the problem? Thansk.

Been about 10 years since I last spent a significant amount of time with Macs but I wanted to try OSX and it was time to get a new machine for my day-to-day computing chores (word processing, internet, finances, music, archiving, etc.). Didn't need to be powerful and I didn't want to spend a lot of money but I wanted something portable so I got an 800Mhz ibook. I couldn't justify spending another $300 on the 900Mhz model just to get the combo drive since I already have a firewire burner I can use at home. Besides, if I spent an extra $300 for that, I may as well spend another $300 and get a 12" powerbook. Then I'd be a long way from my cheap computer. ;)
It took just a few hours for my iBook to make a mockery of many Switch ads. I knew they were BS when they first aired but I was surprised to see so many contradicted in the first few hours.
My email didn't import properly. All of the folders are there but most of the big ones are empty or only have a single message. :P I also had a crash the first night. I came back to the computer and found a black display. At first I thought it'd just gone to sleep but the light wasn't flashing and the screen's backlight was still on. Then there were the drivers. I actually had to download drivers for my MP3 player and printer. The horror. ;)
But enough griping. I really do like my little iBook. It runs OS X great. The battery life is better than I expected (and I haven't even done any power-saving tweaking). I've got 60 gigs of space which is enough to carry everything I need and a lot of stuff I don't need. The airport card works with my old wireless gateway. I've been able to find software to do just about everything I did on the PC. The sleep mode is awesome. I still can't get over the recovery time. It's ready to go by the time I get the screen angle adjusted. After that initial crash, it's been rock solid. I've only rebooted after installing drivers and I think I've got them all loaded now. The next reboot will probably be for an OS update.
The screen is bright and the fan hardly ever comes on, even if the CPU is running at 100%. (I installed the folding@home client so I could see how often the fan would kick in.) Even with the CPU at 100% and the airport card turned on, battery life is still decent.
Okay, a couple more gripes. WTF is up with the one-button mouse? Yeah, I know. "Get a real mouse." I did. A nice cordless optical mouse. But that doesn't help me when I'm on the move. I don't want to lug extra stuff around. Why can't my track pad have two buttons?
And what's the deal with anti-aliasing? Why does everything need to be "smoothed"? Makes it look like I've got the display set at the wrong resolution. I put TinkerTool on there but it seems that some apps just ignore the setting and "smooth" the fonts anyway. Come on, Apple. Let ME decide how I want text presented on MY computer. Put a "none" option in there and make it stick.

...now when I make an alias and place it in the dock, when I sign out / quit the alias diappears...
Why are you making an alias and putting it in the dock? Just drag the original app into the dock, and it will always be there... no use for an alias unless you put it in a folder or desktop, or anywhere besides the dock.

Please help me decide:
Refurbished iMac 27-inch 2.8GHz Intel Quad-Core i5 processor is $1,449 ($1,535.94 with tax) from Apple
New iMac 27-inch 2.7GHz Quad-Core i5 is $1,694 (no tax/no shipping) on Amazon.
The only difference I see between the two is the new iMac's have Thunderbolt and faster video. My understanding is that currently there are not many Thunderbolt compatible devises out there. I know that will change in the future; however I am somebody that does not upgrade my hardware (except ram) and/or software all that often. I would like to keep my iMac for at least 5 years. I mostly do word processing, research on the internet, some 2d cadd work, and some web site design (on my company web site). Do you think the $158.06 is worth it to go with the new one?
Thanks for all the help.

But, if you liked the story, and creepy pacing and atmosphere from the first one, BS2 was not as good.
Right on the money! :)
Though, it could just be the fact that experiencing Rapture for the first time in BioShock 1 was so amazing, it was kind of impossible for BioShock 2 to live up to it. But really, it was a good game. If you find it on sale anywhere, it is still very worth playing.
It's not a matter of money, really - the game's cheap enough in most stores already. Mostly a matter of time. Though I do also find it hard to justify spending money on something, which I feel I "basically" already own. Bioshock is all the Rapture experience I need.

How can I access the the redundant formats and delete them?
They should be in Home Folder/Movies/iMovie Projects/your movie name. That file is a package containing the various formats of your project. You can just delete that file, or right(ctrl) click to have a look inside.
In iMovie if you delete just your Project and leave the Events, you can redo a project again, but if you delete just the Events, then the associated Project won't run.

Hmmm...I wonder if it's incompatible with 2011 MBPs, then. I have friends who have 09/10 MBPs and the update has installed with no issues for them.
The only thing that's making me reserve judgement on its incompatibility is Apple pushing it out to '11 MBPs and not making any comments in the 'About This Update...' section of the Software Update. It seems very lax on their part.

The manual for my Infiniti states that it is more efficient to use the AC to lower the temp at higher speeds. Opening the windows causes a significant amount of wind drag. Not only that, but the air is not much cooler in Phoenix during the summer, but I don't think they were referring to Phoenix specifically.
I ended up getting a Toyota Tacoma double cab 4x4 instead of a Honda Rune. And there is nothing mentioned about opening the windows vs. using the AC. No matter what I do with the Tacoma, AC concerned, I end up getting about 19mpg. Which isn't all that bad. I am hoping for 21 with a CAI though.

Cannot do a clear case and keep the RFI rating it currently has, remove the metal box and the computer would get extremely noisy. And check on some of the clock rates to find out where to tune the your radio, tv, cell phone, etc. dial.

Geez your dour today Blah. What's the problem? You got a bad case of the blahs.:)
Hey it's your dream. Don't let other people stomp on it. If Steve Jobs and Wozniak had when they had started Apple it wouldn't have gone anywhere. Also I have a question for everyone. I hear everyone refering to the current case as the El Capitan. Wasn't it originally the Yosemite? Or was Yosemite just the code name for the B/WG3?

Same problem here. From what I found out it is known that the 360 is not currently compatible with the Aiport Extreme. They said they may address it in a future patch. I'd like to know how to get that without connectivity though.

Some artists have their very own category on my iPod because they have very extensive library's.
Frank Zappa - FRANK
Bob Dylan - Dylan
Grateful Dead - The Dead
Lou Reed - The Man
David Bowie - Bowie
etc.....
Have fun with labels like Cat Stevens is listed as Radical Islamic Singalongs, no offense to Islam and it's followers, just my sense of humor :p.

well the server is only handling a few users files and the rest is email/dhcpgateway etc
so im really wondering if sas and raid card is worth it? or better soultions? or should i try to distrub the servers files or just slap 4 identical sata drives in etc.
If the user count isn't that high (low IOPS), then sticking with SATA could suffice (figure ~90 IOPS for a single SATA disk).
There's still very little info to go on here, so it's hard to give you solid answers.
