Quick, probably stupid question. It's been a decade or more since I owned a MAC and back then monitors that worked on MAC's didn't work on PC's and vise versa. Is that still the case or will any old LCD do? I've got a nice 19" display at home which is what initially made me think mini.

You have a MAC. The last version for windows still doesn't support it. I just downloaded and tried.

Yeah, option #1 right now is a used Imac or Mac Mini. I posted about buying a mini yesterday as the result of my favorite childhood game being re-released and I'm seriously considering picking up something mac-based to use as a desktop replacement in the office.

Thanks Dan.

That echoes my thoughts exactly.

A few actual specs of the 9" eeepc have been released. http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/hands-on-with-the-9-inch-eee-pc/ http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/asus-9-inch-eee-pc-now-with-living-pixels/ I'm not sure going with a larger screen was really necessary or a good move.

Ety P to S converter cable - sounded like my boy Reks needed one to use with his Touch and one happened to pop up cheap on HF this morning so I grabbed it. Expect this to show up in the "what you sold" thread soon.

Agreed, I sampled IV for a while this morning and there's some good stuff there for sure. Even for a non NIN fanboy like myself.

Thanks Todd. I'm not a huge NIN fan but it's worth checking out.

Damnit, forgot to transfer the Seasons Pass to Tivo for this so I missed it. Guess I'll be dl'ing it tomorrow.

Sweet! You're about an hour and 15 from my house, I think that's mini-meet range.

The Ipod Touch will have to do for now. Hopefully a refund associated with the return of a certain laptop will process tomorrow which might go to fund errrm, something else.

Not bought yet, but I may have to buy a MAC purely so that I can play this. http://www.superhappyfunfun.com/games/gam_returntodc.html Dark Castle and Return to Dark Castle were two of my favorite games growing up.

In my head it's a more useful eeepc, longer battery life, more storage and can do the light computing (web, email) that I would have used an eeepc for. Granted it's smaller, but then again I few that as a bonus, not a bummer.

Downloaded the first episode, can't wait till the Touch shows up so I can watch stuff like this while soldering.

For those of you now on the Buy.com mailing list one of the current specials is a 750GB WD "My Book" external drive for $159 w/ free shipping. That's about as cheap as I've seen that much storage.

I think you mean FEMA. I have no idea what FIMA would have to do with the Superdome.

It is an honor and a privilege to share my birthday with Token.

So far it's pretty good and a definite upgrade over the stock Comcast software. It's still not as good as the real thing but I think now that they've gotten over the initial hurdle of getting the software to work with the Comcast box I have hope that they'll be able to refine it to work even better.

What source were you using with the CKKIII?

I'm surprised to hear that, the CKKIII isn't exactly a slouch when it comes to power. That's not in any way meant to contradict your listening experience but I'd be surprised if the NAD has anything all that special attached to its headphone jack.

Yeah, I figured if nothing else it'll be the ultimate CanJam flying companion.

They have some "decent" deals on 16GB refurbs right now at the apple store. I would have gone that route if I hadn't been able to score another 10% off that price. Without knowing how it'll work for me I just couldn't pull a Jacob and go bleeding edge with the 32GB version, yet.
