Went with two HP 2509m. The 2709 would have made my speakers sit too far apart for optimal stereo imaging

No educational discounts either, but our bookstore has all the wi-fi models in stock.

No need for a calibrated display. I do some scientific image capture but absolute color calibration is not necessary. Basically I can get a nice Mac Pro and if I go with a lesser monitor I can more easily justify a dual display system and some bigger HDs, etc.

Question for the Mac gurus. First, what is your best guess for a Mac Pro refresh? Second, is the 24" Apple display actually worth $799?

Masterful.

Four Apple media seminars today. Four more tomorrow. Cost to me, $0.

^^^ Don't do it. I have had two Cowon players and both have had horrible build quality. Add to that their non-existent customer service and they start to get into Singlepower league in my book.

FIFY

^^^ I thought it was Scottish for FUBAR.

So I confirmed today that the iPad fits perfectly into either the right or left inside lower pocket of the Orvis Ranger jacket. Cool beans.

WIN

Heh, +1 for being right without really trying. Now I can be one of my students.

Happy birthday to you sir (a day late).

^^^ I still have my blaze orange Filson cruising vest from my undergrad days as a forestry major. I bought in in 1976.

Except in safari

I'm getting Todd and Pete hooked up at the KG cask/barrel strength challenge and then hoping to get 30 seconds with the summit^2.

Awesome Gene. Just what I was looking for. Ordered the Red Oxx Metro in safari. I'll make sure to bring it to CanJam if I decide to show up.

RIP. A sad day for music. x2 on "The Essential Lena Horne".

They actually had computers for the children to use in the day care we used. I think you guys are dating yourselves.

At least you won't have to be worried about being bothered by vampires.

Ouch, sorry to hear that Nate. I know the feeling and the nightmares. Hope Lily and her Dad are alright.

We are eventually going to swap the PC out with a MAC mini. He always wants to use our his mom's iMac.

We have a little HP mini-desktop for our little guy. He still has problems with trackpads but was pretty expert with a standard mouse almost immediately. Marc's suggestions with the kiddy websites are right on. Right now pbskids.org is his default website. He's pretty much self-sufficient now for most things except when the computer screws up (which is quite often since it's Windows xp).

Happy Birthday to you Dr. Headphone.
