Good call. I've rarely been happier with the music after meeting the musician.

You could run a mini to rca cable from the mini... As to snow leopard server, no that wouldn't provide anything useful to your parents. And except for a smaller footprint, there's no real benefit to a mini server over a regular mini and an external drive.

moar hard drive space internally The appletv requires a dac in practical terms, too.

whoops

Vicki was referring to a poster who was later banned and his posts deleted

you had it worse than I do. That's impressive

Al, if you decide to buy mics, talk to me , I may have a few recommendations.

old bisbee roasters guatemallan is VERY good, and an easy drinker.

I did some further investigation as to what's wrong with my a/c in the passat. It's likely the high pressure sensor, so I ordered one. 2 more weeks without AC, then I'll replace it and not need it

VW G65 AC High Pressure Sensor

Couldn't say, not having experienced it. I've always used a smoker of some sort (weber, and now my oil drum style w/ sidecar)

Smoking and wood based grilling isn't a precise thing, it's a feel thing. You control the temperature by adding more or less wood

All the appletvs have the same interface. It's not like the itunes interface exactly, it's more optimized to work with a remote control. And the remote interface for it on the ipod touch is very itunes like. You get an almost identical interface on the mac if you use front row with it (the remote control interface...aim an apple remote at a mac and press menu, and you'll see it).

they're REALLY easy to hack

I knew you were the anti-christ

I want a cooper s convertible or club wagon at some point

like those have anything in common

i want one of those. I'm bummed I missed the intro price.

I'd get the 4, if you're signing a contract.

ok, mac mini server, new apple tv. But really, just rip to alac 256, and you can fit a fuckload in 160gb

leave pin 3 disconnected

ipod classic + wadia thing only adds cost to the appletv solution , isn't better in any other way, imho.

Nope Nope That it's limited to 160gb per appletv, unless you hack it, that it's limited to apple supported formats, and that it's apple. You COULD use the new appletv in combination with a mac mini or imac stashed somewhere as a server. Then you can just stash that in a closet somewhere, and your parents wouldn't have to know they have a computer as part of the solution

Todd hates apple

You could pay for hardware and consulting services in runrig
