Oh man, you're right. I don't know how I missed that given that I looked for it specifically. I think I just read somewhere about "four buttons" and assumed the trackball was not one. Thanks. Cool. Looks like I'm set.

I'll definitely get one to have around. It may even replace my main mouse, but we'll have to see. Because it's lefty/righty ambivalent, that also means it is ergonomically compromised. I prefer a slight angle or tilt for that reason. Also, I wish they had somehow made the trackball ALSO a...

Did you read what I just said above!? A debit card is functionally identical to a credit card. Any place that accepts credit cards accepts debit cards by definition. Trust me, ITMS accepts debit cards. :)

And to clarify on someone else's comment. You can indeed dispute a debit card transaction. Rules may be different bank to bank, I'm not sure on the details. Just like you can dispute any transaction on your checking account, a debit card transaction being one of them. Usually it's a 30 day...

Here's a small bit of info people might be interested in since it relates to this thread. I worked at a bank in the credit/debit card department several years ago. This was right when debit cards were starting to get going (mid nineties). The public needs to know that debit and credit...

But how well it will run will be a whole different matter. Unsupported video cards are just one example where it starts to fall apart. I really hope the hackers can't get OS X to run on non-Apple Intel too well, otherwise Apple's in trouble. I'm going to speculate that there will...

Apple's between a rock and hard place on this one. Let's say they throw a 3.5 GHZ P4 in the Mac mini and roll that out first. That machine could conceivably (depending on the operation) be faster than anything else in Apple's line. So then the high end users are going to stop buying boxes...

Cool. Thanks for the info. Couple more questions. 1. If I just wanted the G5 at optimal network sped, do I only need to get a Gigabit router to replace the 10/100 one we currently use? 2. And do I get a router or a switch? I think a router, right? We're currently using an Asanté 4-port and...

I've got your run of the mill LAN going here at the office. Four Macs connected to a G4/466 via 10/100 ethernet. We use the G4/466 as a file server (not a real server, just file sharing turned on). I was wondering if updating the satellite machines to Gigabit and getting a Gigabit...

It's a fun conspiracy, but I can't imagine even Microsoft would do such a thing. What would be the point? What possible benefit would MS get from doing that? Like somebody's going to see this bland warehouse photo and say, gee, I thought Apple was cool, but now I realize they are a boring...

(Take this with a grain of salt) I remember reading a few years ago that sleep mode for monitor and CPU consumes less then $15 per year in energy. It may even be less than that now with better technology (course energy rates rise, so maybe not).

I think we're in nitpicking mode right now. I'm really just throwing out a very general opinion based on the premise that "More OS X to More People Equals Good". I'm not saying it's a good business strategy to actually make it an official policy to let cracked versions get around. I'm not...
