There are so many issues and artificats using a digital camera, even the ~ $1,000 models.
One big quirk I have is the delay. Traditional photography is INSTANT, and at least with all digital cameras I've used, there's a noticeable delay between when I click before it shoots.
Don't even get me started on shiny objects in the sun with a digital camera.
Digital cameras still have incredible value and usefulness if you're a budding eBay auctioneer, or when you take a lot of pictures to put on the computer, and quality isn't the #1 issue.
Ideally, you'd put the CD in and start using the machine, but in the background the CD image would be copied to the hard disk for faster access. On the next boot you can mount the CD image loopback from the HD. And give your Lindows disc to a friend!
CD burner, anyone?
30 something?

This book is fascinating for anyone around my age (thirty something) who remembers Atari Video Console Systems, Apple ][, and the space invader tables where you sat two people down.
I was born in 1981 and I remember that shit like it was yesterday!
As sad as it sounds, I grew up in Bowling Alleys and they had the best video arcades.
C'mon!
Then again, many people my age barely remember Nintendo.
On a side note, Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio, has like 15 rollercoasters AND a pretty big arcade full of older games.
I like printing books on our 90ppm digital copier, and using the machine to bind them together.
I can 3 hole punch, comb bind, glue bind....
The only thing about 3 hole punching, is that Binders are awkward to carry, and the pages end up falling apart. Unless you get the hole reinforcers....
You can get them cheap from any store or lots of places (bingo halls, etc) throw them out or you can get them for $10 at school auctions, flea markets.
My friends have their spiffy Sauder tables they bought for $250 from OfficeMax, spent an entire Saturday assembling, and have useless (and crappy) drawers and shelfs. They can't fit any bigger than a 17" on them, and they warp crack etc over time.
Meanwhile, I've got 3 19" monitors, 10 computers, a switch, 25 books all piled high on my super table.
You end up smelling like pizza, but it's an easy job, and you get to eat a lot of pizza. 'Managers' only make $10 an hour but it's better than a lot of other jobs. Besides, it factors 'food' right out of your monthly expenses.
In case you want to convert from SCSI -- IDE...

How can I subscribe when I can't access their page to sign up?!
We <B>might</b> have hologram storage by then.
The judicial system loves having digital video and digital photos.
Its much easier to set someone up using iMovie and a PowerBook than to buy a whole video editing setup.

We'll just wait for LinSCSI to come out
I'd give my stuffed Tux Penguin to see a flick with Amy in it.

Many books have their source code downloadable from the authors/publishers web site.
I've seen some books where they have the nerve to CHARGE $25.00 or so for a FLOPPY with the example files on it. Bruce Eckel, anyone?

Fire up Acrobat reader, on a laptop, second monitor, etc etc
Makes it easy to learn while you work
Anyone want to search/link to it?
Grab a cheap PC, stick some 80GB or 120GB drives in it....
Use Windows Explorer or a batch file on your NT/2000 Server....simply copy your server drives to \\mySambaServer\Backup
Corel's Linux was based on Debian, was it not?
It didn't get them anywhere....not to say it's Debians fault. It was a decent product, however.
The companies who make those crappy CPU fans and cases that don't fit right and just cut your fingers
The people who make those really crappy NICs and video cards
The people who make those little screwdrivers that band or strip on the first thing you take apart with them
The companies that make those $2 keyboards and $1 mice I find at every company who's too cheap to buy decent stuff.
SGI was very kind to send us in this dual Octane 2x195 Mhz MIPS machine accompanied with a 24" SGI-branded Trinitron monitor.
Otherwise, they would have had to shell out a whole $799.00 on eBay for one.
What did SGI do, pull one from the junk bin?
They should have sent some relatively modern hardware....
That they haven't gone with a Windows XP interface!
Kudos to SGI!

Scary
2 PCI slots
1 ISA slot
After replacing the video card, it has ONE PCI slot.
Although you do bring up a good point about expansion.
It doesn't have a GeForce graphics system, or a controller, or a DVD. Also, I'd bet that an XBOX stays in one piece alot longer than that.
Try again.
But, they aren't as fast as 3.5" drives.
Maybe you could do an IDE RAID setup to combat that?
To start another company and then sell that company back to Apple and use all those good ideas 5 years too late?
Deja Vu?
