I recently attended a SANS course, and I agree, they did a great job of general security concepts, as well as applied networking, windows, and unix applied security best practices.
Mine's perfect. I've got a dual 2ghz G5, and it hasn't crashed yet. I ordered it about a week after they were announced (had to get the OK from the boss).
Have you watched relatively non-computer savy people use the web? Give them Google as their start page, and they'll never use their address bar again. My wife only ever uses google, and when I point out that it takes two steps to get to where she wants to go instead of one, she doesn't care, because Google always gets her to where she wants to go.
I wouldn't be surprised if in two or three browser revisions that the address bar isn't show by default, but a google search field is always available in the toolbar. It's getting close to that now, with both Safari and IE having Google Search fields available in the browser control area (IE requires that you install the Google Search Bar, but who doesn't have that?).
When we're modifying open source programs for use in our environment, we try to come up with two different types of patches; patches that enhance the package wether they be with new features or bug fixes, and patches that are only there to support local conventions and tools. We rarely submit the local patches back to the development team of the package, but if we feel that the enhancement types of patches will help out the project, we'll submit them back.
For some reason, I don't think the holdup for getting music into the iTunes Music Store is the digitizing part. It's probably the legal wrangling with the companies that actually own the music.
Actually, my Dad is a mechanic. And I'm a sysadmin. He fixes my car, I fix his computer. We're both happy. And hey, it's my Dad. He raised me, and spent countless thousands of dollars on me from age -1 to 20. Fixing his computer has, at worst, cost me a weekend. Big deal.
FileZilla is a fantastic opensource FTP client. There is also a FTP server component, which is just as good. It's much better than any shareware client out there.
Solaris 9 was released a few weeks ago. We're already testing it out here, trying to decide how urgent it is that we upgrade our equipment to it (all of which is currently running Solaris 8).
Sun's educational pricing on these is pretty good. Their current top of the line package is 100 SunRay systems without monitors and a configured E450 server for $72,000. Smaller packages are less of course. 100 systems is a pretty big lab.
My friends and I played Diablo 2 for quite a while when it first came out. At least four hours a day, for about three or four months. We had a blast. Then something happened (can't remember what at this point), so we stopped playing for awhile. Then all of a sudden, we started playing again, at the same rate. Now we've stopped. I've no doubt that we'll start up again when the expansion comes out, if not sooner.
Diablo 2 is the first game we've ever done that for. Thats really saying something about the quality of the game.
You should be fine. Apple is referring to the Powerbook G3 that looks identical to the 3400c. Its codename was "Kanga". I wish they'd just say "Any powerbook that has a white Apple on the lid". That'd cover everything that can run OSX.
Google kicks ass, and pre-domain-change DejaNews kicks ass! I'm glad that Google is reinstating all of the old services. Here's hoping that they also remove the advertising via news article linking thing that Deja tried too. --

I didn't get the disneyworld trip though.
I too bought this set recently. Great TV.
According to the comparison chart http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/compariso n_chart.html , both the MacBook and the MacBook Pro have a built in omnidirectional microphone. Why it's not listed on the technical specs, I don't know.
My wife and I already lean into the turns and such when we play Mario Kart. I can't wait to see what Nintendo comes up for that franchise on the Wii.
Can anyone tell me if mail.app handles imap subscriptions properly yet? Only checking for new mail in your inbox kinda stinks.
You want a Tivo, with the Home Media Option.

Man, I read that as "mimes"

Macs have had NTP built in since at least OS 9, maybe OS 8, can't remember.
Don't worry, you'll get to use your laptop on the beach, sitting next to Sandra Bullock.

Mostly because it was required by Donkey Kong 64 (and inlcuded with it), and the N64 Zelda games.
Of course, the credits used to be shown at the beginning of the movie. Now we just the get names of the stars and the people who paid for it.

Adobe's online store gives me 609 reasons why I'd prefer using gimp over Photoshop.

Hey, let us have our comptuer game betas. Japan has the console games, and you've got better cell phone service/coverage than we do. So deal with it :)
