    World Cup 2006

    Bad news about Michael Owen, out for 6 months. He has to be the most injury prone player I have ever seen. He's only 25 but spends most of every season on the bench.

    World Cup 2006

    All kinds of fun and games in tomorrows media, Rooney didn't look happy coming off! Wonder if Sven told him that he'd play for 85-90 mins? Owen stretchered off too. Sweden are a team that have always been well managed and organised, but many of the players play/played for very average...

    World Cup 2006

    The English media have a terrible habit of destroying managers, players and hyping a group of players to unreal expectations. I would take Spain ahead of England on a given day. They can hold onto and pass the ball far better than the current English team. Watching a Premiership game and a La...

    World Cup 2006

    Watching Argentina today it's hard not to be impressed. Messi came on and scored too, great to see him back in action! Anybody impressed with Italy?

    World Cup 2006

    bbloke, what do you make of Sven? He's getting a terrible time on Irish coverage of World Cup. I love football and would watch it all day if I had the chance (Thank God for World Cup!!) Summer is always hard, go into withdrawal every year! Have to say that Sven is imo an absolute joke. Remember...

    G5 Powermac start up but no video signal to monitor

    Thanks Bob, will try that. Is it enough to just plug it in? If powered up both fans run at top speed. Is the battery a small pink one about half the length of a regular battery or is it basically a watch battery? I already tried switching the small pink battery with one from my own powermac...

    G5 Powermac start up but no video signal to monitor

    Wondering if anyone can help out. Machine belongs to an uncle who wanted a new computer for video editing. Long story short he hasn't bothered to turn it on in a year!! Rang me last night complaining that it wouldn't work. He turned it on last week for first time in 12 months, it worked fine but...

    Aperture team fired!

    I use Aperture to manage my images. I'm a keen amateur (nothing spectacular) who wanted to move to a RAW workflow purely for increased tweaking and image correction options. Aperture is a great concept but the requirements are lunacy. I own a Canon 350D and it's RAW files average around 8MB...

    Aperture team fired!

    Thinksecret claims team has been fired or moved to different departments. I own Aperture but can't get over the hardware demands. A DP 2Ghz G5 5GB ram and an X800 graphics card: Aperture is still a little sluggish!

    Motorcycles...

    Ducati 749R, a 999 is probably too much. Always like the older 748 too. If you saw the 2nd Matrix movie thats the one Trinity rides in the highway chase scene.http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2006/ducatiModel.jhtml?family=superbike&modelName=749R-06

    dot MAc question

    I just purchased .Mac and I am fairly disappointed with it. I really only wanted synchronisation between an iBook and my desktop for iCal, mail and contacts. I was after a solution that could keep my calenders updated between the school where I work and home as I would often add appointments...

    Supporting Macs

    Relax..this is one of the things that you can now answer in your role as tech support. Buy a new system, fiddle with it, mess it up, fix it...mix this with a little bit of curiosity about different platforms and you learn a huge amount in a short period of time.
