The trackpad was definitely harder for the kids to figure out and they aren't nearly as fast with it even now. I'd recommend finding a wireless "travel mouse" or "laptop mouse". The key with these is they are much smaller and fit better into the kids hands. My son actually learned to use a fullsize mouse (this was before I thought to try the smaller one) by turning it 180 degrees where the spot where the cord would exit (if it wasn't wireless) pointed towards him. Of course, all movements are "backwards" but it was a better fit in his hand, because he then rested his palm on the table and had easy access to the buttons (and again, the right button then selects things, which is how my kids seem to think things should work. Also, to address this you can configure the mouse as if it was to be used by a lefty). The smaller mouse definitely made things easier for them...

I recommend introducing him to PBS Kids, Nick Jr, Playhouse Disney, etc. My kids vastly prefer these sites over traditional games. I'm assuming at age 4 he's pretty computer proficient. If not, the hardest thing for my kids to figure out was that the right mouse button wasn't used to select things. This is frustrating in Flash games, because this brings up a property dialog. It took both of my kids a while to figure this out when they started using the computer on their own (at 2 for my son and a bit before that for my daughter). Now that I think about it, both kids use our iPhone's a lot these days. There are some really great educational and fun games for this platform. I think my son played Soosiz for example for 4 months or so until he mastered it My daughter really likes the wood puzzle games where you move pieces into place, rotate them, etc.

congrats grawk!

Really? Carbon fiber can break that easily?

so, what sort of problems will I run into putting both of my iphones on my new mac? If I use separate users for each, will things play nicely? Any advice?

does Ti recommend using an insulator?

yup, I think it's more than fair...

It's $600 for previous owners, no physical trade-in required. They'll ship in 2 weeks or so.

got the mini. Couldn't set it up because I didn't have a USB keyboard

cool, thanks I'll have to track it down and give it a spin. It will perfect to watch after A2A S3 finishes up.

what, doubting the awesomeness of CLIO? heh... http://www.audiomatica.com/home.htm

Has anyone seen the prequel to Ashes to Ashes? Is it any good?

yeah, it's just hard to compare... for example, take this:

I'd like to see <= 1/10 smoothing, ~ 1msec numbers. Also, these are IB measurements... edit: for example, look at how speaker measurements are given in say Stereophile. It's not an apples to apples comparison.

that all depends what clock position is zero, right? Assuming 7:00 is zero... I'm surprised you're have tracking issues in the middle range of a rk27. I assumed it was at the start of the travel, and as Nate inferred a stepper will be a whole lot worse here in terms of step size.

you wouldn't want to separate two lost lovers that have yet to be united?

so far, the readynas is 100% bad ass. It's built very well and has an amazing feature set. Working on upgrading a few things, and getting the VPN client up and running. Plus, I'm excited to have a sparc processor back in the fold again

you might very well be trading one set of problems for another...

looks like they will ship in 2 weeks...

grawk: it looks like the readynas can do what you want it to: "iTunes Streaming Server, enables iTunes clients to stream media files from the ReadyNAS."
