If you're not using the WiFi, take CF card out, place in card reader, insert 2nd card in camera. Carry on shooting while images are being copied to laptop/Portable Digital Storage device.
Otherwise your camera is out of service while you're copying several GigaBytes to another medium.
Pro photographers won't leave the house with only one card.
Teletext still better than 'interactive TV'

Ceefax Turns 30

I dunno about everybody else, but I still prefer teletext services if I want to look up football results, quick scan of the headlines or find out what tomorrow's weather will be like.
I have FreeView (terrestrial Digital TV) and I barely use the 'interactive' services available there. Despite 30 years of development it still seems relatively slow and cumbersome compared to being able to dial in page 102 and jump straight to the national news headlines, etc
About the only advantage it has is Picture-in-Picture.
We're waiting for Gordon's 'five tests' and Tony's political nous to coincide at a point where the British public are likely to vote in favour of the Euro.
The only national (or should that be 'kingdom-wide'?) referendum we've *ever* had in the UK was to stay in the the Common Market (as it called was then) in 1975,
For domestic customers, BT Together offers free *national* calls for £16.50 (~$29.50) per month (off peak) or £25.50 (~$45.80) per month (any time of day).
I dunno how this compares to the US for pricing (I suspect you're going to tell me we're being ripped off:-) but it's a step in the right direction.
Of course, you're always free to stick with metered calls and cable operators will usually let you call their own phone networks for free (not that I'd ever, ever again let Telewest near my house)
Answer these questions on the card given to you on the plane:
---------
Do you have a communicable disease, physical or mental disorder, or are you a drug abuser or addict?
Have you ever been arrested or convicted for an offense or crime involving moral turpitude or a violation related to a controlled substance; or been arrested or convicted for two or more offenses for which the aggregate sentence to confinement was five years or more; or been a controlled substance trafficker; or are you seeking entry to engage in criminal or immoral activities?
Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage; or in terrorist activities; or genocide; or between 1933 and 1945 were you involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, please contact the U.S. Consulate before traveling to the United States
How far could this go? Could they charge my stationer for selling me a notebook and pen which I could conceivably use to copy out chunks of the latest Harry Potter novel?
Sufficient for intentional inducement? I don't know.

I have a Mac IIfx sitting in my back room, purchased for the princely sum of 40 at the end of the nineties because I always wanted one and couldn't afford it when they were new... it certainly has an 68030 chip:)
There was, however, an after-market Daystar '040 upgrade card for the Mac II series:
I've never heard of Hitchcock Shoe (perhaps because I'm a UK resident, but I suspect not).
I'll bet a huge proportion of the cost of Nike (et al) trainers goes into the marketing budget; 'building the brand'. Just how many shoes do they have to sell to cover the cost of hiring Ronaldo for a TV spot? (Nike paid his club, Barcelona FC, $77 million in sponsorship, for example).
Not that I'm disagreeing with your comments at all, BTW.
Go to any home furnishing store and check out the size of the CD shelving units they sell. Judging by that, and my non-musician friends' houses, most people own less than 30 CDs. A cheap, 2 GB iPod would suit them nicely and Apple's going after the the non-muso market with this device (if it exists - I guess we'll find out tomorrow).
Even if you've got a lot of music stored in iTunes, with only a couple of Gigs of data to transfer to the iPod, it would be easy to pick a few albums and load up a day's listening while you're off making a cup of tea.

Well, it was a response to an observation about *wired* connections, unless you know of a way to run High-Speed USB over WiFi? :P :D

Besides, it's got FireWire.
Strange. Our clients, suppliers, and CEO and haven't noticed any of the above effects on our $10 million turnover.
Nice try.

Not that it makes much difference to what you're saying, but it's being replaced with the EU standard 112

AFAIK, they're currently parallel running both numbers.

iPods mount on the desktop like any external hard drive under Mac OS X. I believe it also can do the same on Windows.

I think you really want to head down the road to Dorking, it seems to amuse my American friends much more :)
Way cool, but totally futile, given the timing...

On Mac OS X, at least
System Preferences > QuickTime > Update
or
QuickTime Player > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences
Uncheck 'Check for Updates Automatically'
Voila! No more update notices.
It's not that difficult is it?
You only need (if you want) to do that for the files you purchased online.
Anything you ripped yourself is a straight audio file.
Check the phone number for their PR contact - it's central London number (England, not anywhere else)
