I think that I saw this already, in the land of Malaria, an Evil Scientist (Why are they always Evil?) creates a rain machine (Fires pink beams into the sky) and causes it to rain ALL the time.......causing a situation where Evil science projects are the country's only source of income........and the Igor saves the day/country/his lot in life/, in the end by destroying it.
This was the same lame excuse that they gave me, nowhere in the ad did they say that the coupon had to be printed in color. There is no email address at Baskin Robin to register our dissatisfaction. There is "You are also invited to call the Baskin-Robbins Consumer 800 number at (800) 859-5339.
", I'm planning to give them an earful tomorrow when they open. What a debacle, two brands that could have gained a lot of good will, will loose face through poorly executing a marketing event. So sad.
I tried that, though he uses the SW for PSK31 and Hellschreiber, neither of which is available free on the Mac. I think that the only reason that he's considering the mac now is the price drop, that and I wowed him with video iChat. Now he wants to see his grandchildren without driving. Thanks for the effort though.
L8r,
For an early batch of accessories these don't seem that bad. Yes they're simple and functional, though that is in keeping with the Apple style. I do think that we'll see more of, and more sophisticated accessories soon. I do think that Apple has a hit here, my Dad, who was a dyed in the wool Win fan, shocked me by stating that his next computer was going to be a Mac. His plan is to have it as his safe for surfing machine, and his Win machines are going to be relegated to running the free programs he finds for Ham radio and antenna design. I guess he was hit one too many times with malware and wasn't going to take it anymore, that or he was tired of me pointing out that I've never had those type of problems;-)
Well I took the dangerous path and upgraded...only one small problem, the installer did the down load of both the battery update and the 10.3.2 update, and did the optimize to 100%, and then hanged. So had to do a force quit and restart, and everything seems to be OK. Still checking though. My Mac is a 600Mhz dual USB iBook.
Good luck;-)
Neat stuff, if someone couples this tech with stuff from Intevac, look out. They have a system that they claim beats FLIR by a factor of 7, they call it LIVAR. More here"http://www.intevac.com/products.asp?ItemID=20 ", and here "http://www.intevac.com/products.asp?ItemID=51"

So women only want to meet people with no NADDs? Their loss;-)
