Salt Peanuts

After some initial pains, Spaces has definitely grown on me. It's too bad that some apps still don't play nice with it, though.

ZeroSurge 8R15W

I think I'm going to be picking up a Brickwall/Zerosurge unit soon.

Yay, new laptop for Nate! When's the ETA?

In my case, I'm the seller and it was the potential buyer that never showed up. It was rather annoying week trying to contact him and set up a time, only for him not to show up at all.

K272 HD looks like K271 with updated cosmetics and non-detachable cable.

Probably not, though when you factor in buying velour pads, that brings the price to about $190 or so.

Cool, thanks for the info. While we are on the topic, anyone know if PureAV stuff from Belkin is any good? For that matter, any power conditioner that actually works and isn't just a pure BS?

I didn't really read/look all that closely, but changes look to be merely cosmetic. It's nice now that they're going to include velour pads, though. You don't have to deal with trying to get it from AKG.

Well, it seems AKG has updated some of their mid-level phones. I just bought my K271 couple of months ago, too. http://www.akg.com/site/press_center/powerslave,id,152,nodeid,0,_language,EN,nodeid,33.html

Hey Zach, Didn't you used to have a Brickwall? Which one was it and how did you like it?

Probably the same kind of person who replies to your ad saying they'll buy the item and will pick it up, then not show up without a peep on two separately scheduled days.

Just FYI, Grover updates/fixes/modifies his cables constantly to the point you won't be able to figure out what he is currently offering if you're not paying close attention. I've no real recommendations, though, as I haven't really played with cables that much.

To take over the world?

Yeah, I think ~$800 is what I'd pay for a good conditioned pair.

Yep. That's why it was confusing me. They're both in CA, but in different ZIP code.

Tapioca pudding.

Then there's this. http://buy.audiogon.com/cgia/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1205303348

Happy birthday and have a great one!

Mercury Meltdown Revolution for Wii.

There are variations on Mahogany (as in all wood pieces), but I suspect it's mostly a time factor as Mahogany darkens over time.

Tic Tac, hair clipper, and flashlight.

Still bit too much, IMO, considering you'll end up with three sets of pads you won't be using, and no bowls (I don't like'em, but some folks do).

Yeah, K501's have gone up a bit since it's been discontinued. I should've grabbed a pair when they were going for around $100 used, not that they fit my gigantic head all that well.

The apps run noticeably faster and smoother on my iMac (2GH Core 2 Duo w/ 3GB RAM) than Office 2004 did. Also, I've experienced no random sluggishness that I experienced while using Office 2004. Updates/fixes/improvements are minor and there are no real wow factors. Of course, the one big deal killer is no VBA on Excel, but I've kept the Office 2004 installation for that, and I really don't use Excel worksheets with VBA outside of work. It's bit pricey at $150 considering that updates are minor and Excel lost VBA, but I use Word/Excel/PowerPoint often enough at home the overall speed increase alone makes it a worthwhile upgrade for me. YMMV.
