    Hard case for iMac 27" - for flight

    I just watched and unboxing. looks like it only have polystyrene top and bottom so I'd probably have to add some sort of extra foam on the inside too. I like the idea of commissioning a custom plastic or aluminum case to replace the card.

    Hard case for iMac 27" - for flight

    Hi sidd - the problem here is that excess baggage is £20 per kilo - per journey! So an extra 9kg would cost me £360! Ryan air do have a sports equipment / musical instrument option of £100 for 20kg. but it would be nice to get it within their 15kg allowance (which is £30).

    Hard case for iMac 27" - for flight

    Hi all, I'm hoping to take my iMac 27" (which I haven't bought yet) with me on a Ryan Air flight. Their checked-in baggage limit is 15Kg. The iMac weights 13.8kg. So I have 1.2kg to try and make it safe enough to check in. I have looked at flight cases, but apart from costing about £200...

    Tiger bug list. hopefully could be helpful

    not sure if this one has been mentioned, couldn't be bothered to read the other 6 pages. If you activate the speech command, then look at the list of speakable commands you can see there's one called 'Close this window' however the command only runs if you say 'Close these window'! and it's...

    Automator usage ideas

    this one is boring but, open a quicktime mov and export as avi - batch style. Useful as After Effects can't render as avi on a mac and I often deliver projects to PC based clients who want avi's. Told you it was boring! slightly more fun might be to export a picture of me sitting at me...

    when will QUAKE be made for OSX

    It's not a question of whether quake III runs on os x, I've been playing quake on os x for ages, but it's the same version as I had in os9 + an os x patch. All I'm saying is that it would be nice to get quake up to the next level like the latest Unreal and like Halo (although I prefer Quake to...

    when will QUAKE be made for OSX

    Hi, I have trawled the internet looking for any signs of a new version of quake for osx. I do have quake running on osx but it's getting a bit dated now. I have tried to fill the gap with Halo, Unreal, MoH Spearhead but none of them even get close to the playability of Quake. I find them much...

    Magic Database - Ever heard of it?

    Thanks for your reply. I looks like it'll be a semi-automated system they'd have to use to update the web site. It might not be possible at all though, I'll have to break it to them gently, installing it was probably one of those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time'! Thanks, Ed...
