    I want a bigger iPod Touch

    I disagree. Just like what you argue now, at the time of the initial iPod introduction I had a total of 1 friend with an mp3 player. I did not, and did not want one. And my mom, grandma, sister, and pregnant neighbor were pretty much clueless. Concur wholeheartedly. And for huge...

    Migration Questions

    With the G4 powered off, connect the two computers via Firewire. If both computers were off, start up the G5 normally. With the G5 on and the G4 off, power up the G4 pressing the "T" key until the Firewire symbol starts moving about the screen. Then proceed to Migration Assistant.

    I want a bigger iPod Touch

    Ding, Ding, Ding ... Round 3 :) I personally don't feel they entered any of your examples when the market was mature. Developed? Yes. Proven? Yes. But not mature. And that is precisely why they were so successful on these fronts. No one had yet gotten them quite right...until Apple put...

    I want a bigger iPod Touch

    All our beloved gear, Apple or otherwise, started out as “toys” for gear-heads and techies. 450k supplies the gear heads, 18 million represents penetration far beyond mere geeks. coughAppleTVcough It’s estimated there are fewer than 500,000 ATVs ever sold, and yet for 2009, Jobs himself...

    I want a bigger iPod Touch

    Unproven? How is a market "unproven" for a known, existing device that has sales? Sure, the market for underwater helicopters is unproven, but certainly not for netbooks. "...manufacturers shipped just 450,000 units globally in 2007, but 10 million units in 2008, according to the Consumer...

    I want a bigger iPod Touch

    Dollars to donuts there will be a Mac netbook in time for the holiday season. The market is exploding and Apple is half-way there already with its Air. While I guess I would want a full blown OS on a miniature device, the idea of an iPhone and Apps like interface would be very appealing to me...

    Accidentally ejected Windows HD from desktop

    Or less disruptive than a restart, just unplug and replug the drive (perfectly safe since the drive is already "ejected"). Of course this doesn't work with internal/partition drives.

    Private Print option with Toshiba 850e

    So while loaded to the printer "server", it would not print unless I was physically at the printer and able to directly input a code/password on the printer?

    How to open dat file

    That does NOT sound like the type of site I would ever want to utilize personally, and certainly not advertise to my friends, family, or colleagues! That's porn site behavior...or so I have been told.

    Where do you buy a mac/apple product?

    Refurbs have warranties and eligibility (AppleCare) indistinguishable from brand new products. But I have to disagree with the "lottery" comparison unless buying any new Mac is a chance/luck scenario with 9-in-10 odds. I have never received any refurbished product that wasn't pristine in...

    Ibook G4 Crash...no Hard Drive!

    You may be in luck. I also have a G4 iBook that "died" just two weeks ago. The odd thing being that over the past 4 months, I have been coming across increasing number of iBook failures on various boards (not just computer boards). In hindsight, I guess it isn't odd as all these G4 iBooks...

    iMac - Is it worth it?

    As Satcomer points out, you can pick up this machine "brand new" from Apple Refurbished for 1200 plus tax (free delivery) and you would get full warranty. Does this machine have any extras (legitimate software, extra RAM, AppleCare)?

    Apple TV question

    Generally, the ATV will "load" from your Mac, and 'stream' from any nearby Macs. I imagine you could stream from yourself, but not sure. If not, try making a playlist of the size and music you want, then sync just that playlist. The ATV also has a hierarchical sync system so you need not...

    Question About New Shuffle

    I'm thinking very few have a new generation shuffle already, but I'm willing to bet the "voice over" only applies to iTunes purchased tracks. Jest guessin'
