What are you talking about? I have a 30" Cinema Display and I can watch DVDs on it in full screen mode. I can also do full screen in Quicktime Player and MPlayer. Granted, most things look grainy in full screen, but that is just because there are so many pixels to fill and even HD video needs to be enlarged to do full screen on this size display. The capability is certainly there though.
One option is to request an absentee ballot and vote by mail. However, I think absentee votes are not necessarily counted. As far as I understand, they are counted if the number of ballots is equal to or greater than the spread between candidates or other ballot issues. This could be wrong though, I haven't researched it.
I recommend Sun all the time. It is not because I am loyal, but my company makes a product that runs on Oracle 9i and RAC doesn't support transaction intensive processing very well, Therefore, large installs need large machines. You just can't buy Intel-based Oracle servers with 24 chips.
I agree about the iBook. My wife has a 700 Mhz iBook and it is great. She is not a power user and the only benefit she would have gotten out of the Ti Book would have been the large screen. If your friend didn't bump the memory up beyond iBook capacity or get a larger hard drive, that is all he is really getting. OK, the better video card is also a plus becuase I regularly use the screen and an external monitor together.
The G4 is faster for some things, but it is also hot. This thing can really heat up when I build from source or do some other processor intensive function. The iBook never gets too hot for a lap. Still, the Ti Book is the best computer I have ever owned in my 20 years of buying systems.
This is definitely the way to go. Just make sure you don't do it right as a model is being phased out. I have done this with every Apple I have purchased, and they all have lasted 4-5 years of good heavy use. My most recent was the ti book with the 60 gig drive and a gig of ram. Sure it is an expensive machine, but the 5 year education loan is only 36 dollars a month. I pay 200 per month and it will be paid off long before it is out dated. A lesser model would cost 2/3 as much but go obsolete much sooner.
Believe me. I am no Netinfo guru, but I was able to use it to map host names. I just authenticated into Netinfo and went to the machines section and made a duplicate of the entry for local host. You can delete the "serves./local" pair, and just fill in "ip_address" and "name" pairs. I did this for all the machines on my local network, just like I would in a/etc/hosts file. Works great for all OS X stuff, not just Rendezvous. Hope this helps
