As a Mac user myself, I might say get a Mac, but you can easily do a precaution for now and simply move her to Eudora or Mozilla Mail. If you want to uprade down the track, Mac OS X and Mac's are only going to become a better deal.
The trains are generally shielded from the magnetic radiation for this type of issue, and to make wearing watches and other metallic objects comfortable.
AFAIK anyway, the amount of magnetic force required to damage a hard drive is quite high. Saying this, I wouldn't test it unless you were using a PowerBook of some sort with its heavy metal on the outside.:)
I wouldn't say we do. I much prefer beating the American's in swimming, but hey, phelps seems to be removing that from our grasp, so I will go for the Aussies in Cricket against India in India, and Steve Waugh retiring in my home town.
I work from home all the time and have experienced the exact same issues. I tried a few things that did not work:
- Buying a new computer
- Changing my room on a weekly basis
- Working outside (its the same as working inside in some aspects, and when its raining, you are working inside!)
- Working in bed (seems to work reasonably well at 1-4am)
What I found did work is to get more work. I would work 5 days, then work 2 days a week somewhere completely different, in my case the Sydney Opera House. Yes, I get burnt out sometimes, but its working nicely thanks to flexible hours. I simply call up and the next day I am there working. Its great to just get away from it all, although the train trip back home is painful as you anticipate all the customers support issues.
Probably won't work too well in your case though, I just have lots of energy.
A few things I am going to try:
- Go to the gym every morning before work
- Remove distractions from my work area (slashdot, aim, msn, etc.) I find they make boredom easier to cope with but obviously, you don't get much work done.
- Get my mates to randomly interrupt me on the weekend and go out for drinks
- Get a girlfriend again:)
"Now if spring would start in nsw.au, I would be completly happy:-)"
Tell me about it. Sometime here we might actually see some sun, but hey, thats probably never going to happen. The heavens are still crying after our loss last weekend.

Most chicks I have dated to a "Wow, what is that" when you show them you have an iPod (no, "Is that an iPod in your pocket or are you just happy to see me":P) and pretty quickly then can become the center of a conversation thanks to the massive amount of music on them.
Then again, I only really date creative types so that does incline them to liking music a lot, so it does help in that department.

Fortunately, high alpha maneuvers are not applicable to large passenger carrying aircraft (unless we have a new reason to fly, that being a roller coaster) but yes, I have to agree with you, it was a vast over simplification.
Forget the easy to use interface, its tiny footprint, the effortlessness in syncing it, its notes, calendars, games, contacts, etc. Lets focus on the big things.
Apple have designed it from the ground up based on the user rather than the techonology. Take the front panel buttons, they do not have moving parts. This is because a normal use will use it in environments that have dirt and other irritants.
The scroll wheel makes moving through menus so eas y it is not funny. It makes second nature in minutes and no other device, not a PC, nor a Mac nor even a microwave oven has anything like it in terms of perfect interfacing.
The sound outlet is put on the top...not the side. Most players I know have it wherever they feel like. The iPod is placed where you need it when it sits in your pocket (again, unlike most mp3 players).
This is a big deal to me...the scroll wheel when playing songs functions to skip through it, change the volume and change the rating. Everything so nicely placed and so perfectly executed.
Anyways, I am going to go to bed listening to these 5 new songs I downloaded and synced without a button click. Go grab your Wal-Mart mp3 player, but enjoy setting it up, and using it day to day. As for me, I will continue to buy and recommend the iPod to everyone I know. 7 other friends agree with me.
Of course Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, F-Zero, Zelda, Soul Calibur etc. are not for adults are they?
I know the gamecube has a reputation for being a kiddie system, but it simply is not the case. I can remember clearly at launch and for the several months afterward that there were no 'kiddie' games. In fact, a quick look at the PS2 lineup will find hundreds of kiddie games, many of them worthless.
If you still think its kiddie, go pick up Resident Evil 4 for GameCube (the new one coming out soon) and tell me you aint scared.
Actually, I think Windows has the bias here as it was designed from scratch for x86 hardware. Mac OS X on the other hand was not designed for PPC and in fact is hardly efficient on the PPC. If they were to make it more efficient, it would remove the ability for Apple to easily recompile and make minor changes to the kernel to allow it to run on other hardware.
If I remember correctly, Apple mentioned that Safari was an example product of what could be done with Cocoa in terms of speed, ease of use and flexibility. I have not heard of them using anything out of the ordinary when it comes to Safari.
Back home in Australia I used Optus cable on the 3gb home plan which was a nice fee to pay and bumped by internet to 28.8k once I passed the limit.
I have now moved to Utah and am using Comcast. My experience with Optus was not perfect...but Comcast also has its disadvantages. Total throughput is lower (at 4am in the morning) but ping rates are much lower than in Australia to local servers. Comcast's price is also half as much as Optus and has no cap.
Personally I am happy with Comcast's service here in comparison to Optus. In Australia we were sure being ripped off.
Quite possibly Taco needs to upgrade from the DOS running 486 so that his page loads a little faster next time. Can we suggest this helpful article?

Its not like it is breaking any agreement with Apple. Read the software license that comes with the iPod, its a simple software license, nothing else.
Just like Apple has not squished the Linux on PowerPC programs, Apple will not got after someone wanting to write something for the iPod.
iCommune was a person breaking their agreement with Apple, they had all the right in the world to tell him to cease and desist.
My 2 cents.
They sure can, but they are discussing the ability to transfer files from your beige box to your new iMac, something that doesn't require translation fortunately. Otherwise, us Mac users would be screwed.:-(

Yes, sorry, my mistake. :)
Apple moves their release numbers long like this:
- 7AXX
- 7BXX
We are now on 7CXX (10.3.1). Jaguar was released at 7C115. So no, there is no name attached to the number. Maybe its a feline food?
Sure. Shall we start from the top?

My 12 computers (mine and Apple store) have had no problems with the update.
Its not like it is breaking any agreement with Apple. Read the software license that comes with the iPod, its a simple software license, nothing else.

And no keyboard, mouse, screen, joystick, serial ports, usb ports...etc.
They sure can, but they are discussing the ability to transfer files from your beige box to your new iMac, something that doesn't require translation fortunately. Otherwise, us Mac users would be screwed. :-(
Although any windows software that is worth anything is on mac anyway. If your software ain't there, its in a shareware repository or its on fink.
I don't want to feel what my computer is feeling "Help, I'm burning, I'm burning!"
