IE already comes with all Macs. Safari will probably take IE's place as the default.
Is Safari really already so much better than IE that Opera and others see no hope in going up against it?
Is the sole selling point of alternative browsers really just that they're not from MS?
I don't understand why there's a willingness to work on alternative browsers when the default is from MS, but not if the default browser is from Apple. If Apple makes a feature complete, windows version of Safari available for free, how many of the alternative windows browsers will close shop?

Of course, then you have to become a strung out coke-fiend/heroin addict... but you can't have every thing.
Come on, dude, don't be silly. Everybody knows hamsters are no good at animation.
You need to upgrade your hamster. Mine is great at animation. He's working on this awesome shot right now with some alien warships bombing the Earth from orbit. Great stuff.
A true SAN is probably overkill for household use unless your hobies include rendering and editing Pixar-like shorts with your wife/girlfriend/dog/hamster working in tandem on one or more other workstations. That's about the only thing I can think of that a home user could use that kind of storage and speed for. Or you want to build some kind of 4 pc DIY TiVo with shared storage. Of course I don't know why you would.
I'm agreeing with Billco. If you've got a Switched 100Mb Ethernet LAN in your house (Since you're toying with building a DIY SAN, I'm sure you do), just build a fileserver. The cost, effort and extra cable spaghetti just don't seem to be worth it. If you build a server, it can do a hell of a lot more than just locally share files too. (DHCP, LDAP, E-mail, HTTP.... )
And considering what you'd spend on a SAN implementation, you could get a pretty nice server for your home.
As questionlp pointed out, if you've got Macs, the
SANcube is in a price range that's manageable for the hard core (employed) geek.

A year ago I was the admin for an edu network with ~200 macs. I used MacManager on them. I never had any problems with the any of the brighter students breaking it. None of my macs were ever screwed up from tampering. I did have problems with earlier versions of AtEase though...
Assimilator sucked hard in it's early days (circa 1998.) It was pretty easy to bypass. I'm not sure how it is now.
YMMV
Now I work on a corporate network with Win2k. PCs may be "real computers" in the eyes of most geeks, but being the admin for a Mac network is a hell of a lot more fun.
This article has it bass akwards. For the non-expert mac users, let me explain.
MacOS only boots motherbords it was designed to support. Mac Mobos aren't like PCs, they change (sometimes significantly) with each model. Virtually everytime a new mac comes out, Apple has to tweek the OS to run on it correctly. That's why new macs always ship with the brandspankingest new version of MacOS: because that's the only thing that will boot on it.
All this really means is that Apple isn't going to continue tweeking MacOS 9 for new hardware. That's no surprise, they said they were stopping development on it months ago.
Since every Mac knows in it's ROMs what the lowest version of MacOS it can boot is, these new macs will refuse to boot MacOS 9. Just like how you can't run System 7.5.5 on a classic iMac, but you can run OS X.
This is the best general telecom/computer dictionary I've found yet. For me, it is THE dictionary. Although, I have found occasional (minor) errors in some definitions in past editions. However, it does genuinely improve with each edition and I try to buy the new edition every year, if my book budget allows.
Does anyone know of anything better? (As in, have you examined current editions of both?)
