if anyone encounters this with Ryan air in the future - just buy another ticket for your flight for your luggage. Mine cost £30 return.

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.

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).

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...

Has anyone tried to upgrade to mysql 4.1.9 on to their mac? I'm running 10.3.7 (and previously had MySQL 4.0.18 I think) and I downloaded the installer from the mysql site http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html . The installer ran ok, but when I tried to fire up mysql I got a socket...

out of curiosity, those of you who say you don't like the site or don't think it's great - could you post a site that you think is really good and that the Apple site should aspire to? and I don't mean nice as in http://www.quietplease.net/ I mean nice as in large site, lots of info, large...

now that's what I'm talking about! Nice info Cat...

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...
