Type 4, 5, or 6 keyboard? Sun keyboards have had these for ages.
Pic here.
Stop, Again, Props (y0!), Undo, Front, Copy, Open, Paste, Find, Cut. Yeah it makes the keyboard a bit bigger, but if you must have them...
You know there's going to be at least 50 (and I'm being conservative here) people that take this post seriously and think "iTunes sucks!" Well, for those 50 people, he was kidding, iTunes does have "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones.
Why didn't you use iTunes? Most (all?) audible.com content is available on the iTunes Music Store and iTunes has excellent support (in my experience) for CD writers.

Is Bluetooth Dead?

I don't know about the original poster, but I'm using Salling Clicker for MacOS X to move my cursor via the phone (T616). This is an almost completely useless feature, but it sure is cool. The features I do use are the "pause iTunes/iDVD when making/receiving a call" and the "pause iTunes/iDVD when away from computer". It's $10 shareware.
Bluetooth is just recently making it's way into devices that the consumer can use. Finally we get bluetooth headsets and cell phones, keyboards, mice, etc. Apple has just released their new keyboard and mouse and Microsoft and Logitech have theirs. This is the same thing that happened with USB. PC's had USB several years before Apple implemented it on the iMac. After the iMac, we saw an explosion of USB devices and that was that. I think we'll see the same thing with Bluetooth.
The Java install could not have affected your OF settings. You may try what sjdownes suggested, but you may be hosed. A few Sun customers have been bitten by that and had to have new EEPROMs burned. Unfortunately, I don't think Macs use a socketed EEPROM like Sun boxes do. Good luck.
I also work for Sun in the field (FE) and I use my iBook exclusively. As I'm sure you know, they recently took laptops away from a lot of FE's and other folks within the company. I gladly gave up that POS Toshiba and went out and got a decent laptop (my iBook). I've had to go onsite to rescue an SSE more than once that couldn't get their Hyperterm to work ("it worked the other day") as a console. I know of at least one FE in Denver that's a Machead and I've heard that certain managers in Denver are pushing for Apple laptops in the field.
I know this has been discussed for quite a while, but now it's finally a reality. I'm typing this on my 21" Sun (trinitron) monitor at 1600x1200 and have my mail window open and maximized on my 12.1" iBook display (700mhz). Thanks a ton!
Um....that's very wrong. We promote 'Sun on Sun'. It's rather discouraged to use anything else...even on our laptops. Sure, your sales guy might have a laptop running a Windows OS, but not much of anyone else does. Many of our customers use Sun workstations as well, mainly on the IT side, but they use them nonetheless.
I don't see how you can call this abuse (whiny, yes - but certainly not abuse). Sony was called on by Microsoft because it is reportedly against the rules to allow people to play with the demo equipment. This doesn't bother me now, but if later I found that Microsoft was allowing people to play on their consoles after Sony left, I'd be pretty upset at MS. I'm sure Sony could have stayed if they stopped allowing people on their hardware, but instead they just packed up and left home. I'm not pro-Microsoft in the least, if anything I'm pro-Sony (yeah, yeah, they're evil...whatever.)
Trillian is also not "some all-in-one Compuserve-Prodigy-AOL-bloat app". It's not even bloat. It actually takes up 5mb less memory than just ICQ. Trillian is by far the best multi-IM client that I've used!
If you have the money, two reasons: Aesthetics and reliability. And you seem to be comparing a modded TA vs a stock NSX. American cars can be made to corner, but not many people are willing to spend money on suspension. Most people want straight line speed (which is only half the fun.) I respect some American cars, the Z06 is a perfect example...what a beautiful car; big brakes, straight line speed, and excellent handling - all fresh off the showroom floor. They're rare, but there are some great American cars, however I'd rather drive German. I like a luxurious interior without going over the top (like some Japanese manufacturers are doing) combined with good handling and power. And just so you don't think I'm biased, there are some great Japanese sports cars as well (Miata, MR2, NSX, Skyline, Sylvia, etc.)
You obviously aren't up on your racing (when I say racing, I don't mean NASCAR.) Audi was doing quite well in the Speedvision World Challenge events, was banned from rally events in the past (they had an unfair advanage and absolutely stomped their competitors. If 220 HP isn't good enough for you, why not mod it a little? 300hp is easily attainable with minor mods, and I've seen a 1.8T Audi A4 Avant tuned to 550hp (that's a 4 cylinder) and an older Audi 5 cylinder tuned to ~900hp. Do some research before you post in the future...you may remove your foot from your mouth now.

Were we watching the same videos? His right index finger wasn't even touching the PSP near where the eject slider is.

You can read about it here, here, and here.
VW isn't "buying rights to famous nameplates", they're buying automakers. They only owned Rolls Royce for a couple years before it was sold to BMW.

The Audrey display is horrible, however....I own one.

I don't know why you're posting as AC, these posts would probably be modded up because they make great points.

Not in this instance. If the 'mirroring' box is checked, both displays are set to 1024x768.
Hence the term 'mirroring'. Separate resolutions are only available when mirroring is disabled.

I'd probably be more cost-effective to buy a used MP120-130 on eBay if your backlight is broken.
Hell even Sun doesn't use Sun on the workstation.

Wouldn't it still be Palm?
