Excellent. Thanks for your reply. :)

The key here for me is that I want to be able to use the hard drive at times that I don't have access to a power outlet. If the Firewire connection draws enough power from the laptop, that's the way to go.

Hey guys - I'm the owner of a small company, and I'm going to start doing a little more traveling. Given that, I'd prefer to pick up a decent external "portable" hard drive (capacity < 50 GB), rather than play musical files when I'm arriving/leaving the office. Originally, I'd purchased a...

From my blog: Well, in a totally unrelated incident, I looked to expand the range of my wireless range throughout my house. I wasn't getting reception in the garage consistently, so I picked up a range extender (of the Linksys variety). Little did I know that my wireless router is so old...

Yeah, I've looked at it before...but I can't find anything "conclusive" from it. It's super strange. After 30 seconds, there are some .gifs hanging out, waiting to be loaded..but they'll always load after a few more seconds. The style sheet...

I've noticed on all three of our OS X machines (all running Tiger) that espn.com loads INCREDIBLY slowly...particularly, the fantasy pages: http://games.espn.go.com/cgi/flb We never had this problem on 10.2 or 10.3, not do we have this problem on Windows machines. Worth note might be that...

I realize that Apple offers machines under $1000, but those machines would hardly be considered "smoking," as I mentioned earlier. I myself have an eMac, and to get close to state of the art, the out-the-door cost was much closer to $2k, than $1k. As far as licensing is concerned, I agree...

I was anti-Mac for years, and it all started back in the days of DOS. I always appreciated that copmarison between operating systems and airport terminals (Mac Airlines just guided you down a corridor, not telling you where you were going, or why, while MS had an elaborate series of corridors...

What we dislike is not the GAME, but other people's inability to exhibit a certain amount of self-control. Beer isn't a bad thing; alcoholism, however, is a shame. The case is solid. Anyone who's got a handle on their life, and knows what their priorities are, should give the game a whirl...

I was an Everquest player on PC for quite a while. Fortunately, I never got "sucked in," as a lot of my pals did. Granted, the game rocks. It's the coolest game I've ever played. I was a Lord in a new guild, and had the coolest, hippest, most badass gnomish enchanter. But, I ran out of time...

I'm running OSX 10.1.3, and was previously using the DAVE evaluation for setting up a network drive of my Win2000 machine. This was working just fine (I was manually connecting via the smb://xxx.xx.xx.xxx option in the server box), until my DAVE evaluation expired. Now, my DAVE installation...

That was absolutely hysterical. I haven't laughed that hard in a while...
