I have just spoken with my sister who's home is west of New Orleans proper in River Ridge. Her home was not in the area which flooded. That appears to be totally confined to the city of New Orleans itself. They got no water in their home, but there is extensive tree damage. The local police...

Let's see, networking still works, printers still work, haven't tried the scanner yet. Office loads more quickly. :p I just remember that 10.2.6 update about two years ago......Talk about a "hosed" system. :mad: Well that's why I have that external drive and some backup software. Fool me...

I have thrown caution to the winds and just finished downloading. It's prompted me to restart. :D Here goes nothing! :p

The memory that I have bought at crucial.com has always been good memory. However, this may have just been good luck for me.

I have had that same problem with Word, even before the Tiger upgrade, and this is on a machine which appears to be identical to yours. The problem has happened only with Word, and none of the other Office programs. I do a file save every time I complete a page to avoid losing anything. I am...

I am currently using Office 2004, so I cannot comment on Office for X. I have Office 2004 and OS 10.4 on two machines currently, a Power G4 DP 1.42, and an iMac G5. I have encountered no problems with either machine after ten days of use. Overall, Office seeems almost "snappy" under 10.4...

Sheesh! I just wish I could get Tiger. I pre-ordered and the confirmation guaranteed I would have it by 6 p.m. today, but no such luck. As of 7:30 this morning the FedEx tracking still showed a delivery time this afternoon. Well I was able to get home early so that I could be here to accept...

It's down in the U.S. too at 7:40 CDT. Hmm. Well it's not that I have the cash for a major purchase, but I do have a zero balance on my credit card. :D

Let's face it, everbody (almost) likes to pick on WalMart. They are the biggest, and make a really good target. However, even though I started this thread, I must offer one thing in defense of Walmart. It was Walmart that, about three years ago I believe, filed the initial price fixing...

You can read all about it here. Imagine, rejection at everday low prices. :p

[old timer] Your history of computer use is pretty similar to mine, except that I had an earlier start: I remember using punch cards to to communicate with a big monster in a glass room. [/old timer] :D Anyway, it was Windows Millenium edition which pushed me over the edge. :mad: So I...

I have used Keynote occaisionally for two months now. I agree with the reviewers comments. I generally like it. The presentations can be converted to Powerpoint when they have to be run on a Windows machine or a Mac which has Office installed. This can work smoothly if you are careful about...

I believe that the top people at Apple, Jobs et al, think that there is at least one mole at Apple; this mole is fairly highly placed. The main interest is in finding out who these insider might be. If they are holding off on the lawsuits, then they must be close to identifying who some of the...

This idea has merit. It is the type of thing I would subscribe to. I think what had gotten me (us) off track was that we were thinking of something that might mimic what cable companies currently offer. Well of course it would be different. Consider iTunes offers a library of that goes...

That's interesting. You are fortunate to be ahead of many areas. Maybe the market for this will expand sooner than I thought. My DSL provider, Bellsouth, has been one of the more aggressive providers. Their ads imply that this is in the future. Perhaps this future will be here sooner than I...

If Apple has something ready to be released soon, I think it will be at this show: http://www.nabshow.com/ As far as video on demand goes, well my cable company already has that. One of the satellite providers is adding this. Of course this isn't all HD yet. But here's the problem: how is...

If you think Walmart respects the Constitution, then you either are not familiar with all of Walmart's policies (just ask some of their employees) or you aren't familiar with what is in the consitution. For example, Walmart censors the music and videos that can be sold in their stores. And...

Actually it's just a knee jerk response some people have about the big discount stores. Personally, I prefer Target over Wally World or Kmart. At least (locally) the Target store is clean. The way things are arranged it looks nice. The Walmart Supercenter smells like an armpit.

Well Apple gave me an upgrade to FedEx shipping on my order, which arrived today, the 21st here.Way to go Apple. :cool: I plan to spend the rest of the afternoon iWorking from home. :p

Well at 7:20 a.m. CDT, the Apple Store in the U.S. is down! Here we go!
