Your in Manchester mate, get your self to the genius bar in the Trafford Centre, they sorted out my iPad in seconds when it wouldn't update and threw a spazzy.
I want one of those black polo neck jobs they wear now as well.
Oh, my, god, why?
mines done 39k. i'd be tempted if someone fluttered 6k under my nose.
If he gets 6k for that then the men in white coats should be waiting with a big net for the clown who hands it over.
I've still got a mint condition G4 cube at home, slow as dirt but for network monitoring it's just fine, got it form work for nowt.
Theres going to be a few (a lot actually) of G5 powermacs going spare at work soon as we're all swapping over to iMacs, will be grabbing a couple of those when...
As I look out of the window here at work, in our car park in dull grey Cleckheaton are 2 1.2's a 182, a 182 with cup packs and a Trophy, and the guy from just round the corner has just gone past in his V6.
Like Feirney says - were awesome :)
Now you're talking, it took me frigging ages to get from deadly to elite, played it that much that I could dock at a space station faster than the docking computer ;)
Megablast was the dogs part, I played that on the ST and spent a good hour just listening to the sampled music from the intro...
I use a mifi from 3, minimum 3mb wherever I use it, in a good area i've seen 5+mb. Handy little gizmo that creates it's own wifi network that will accept up to 5 devices at once.
Not having the same crap memory management as windows means adding RAM has less of an effect for general stuff, as Gabi says, an SSD will make a much MUCH bigger difference.
He's off his nut if he thinks £350 is expensive, that said I'd have a good look at the runners etc to make sure they haven't come from a car that's been heavily stuffed.
24 people in a raid using ventrilo is how I roll, 50hrs a week average over 3 years 8 months = no life, wonder why my 05 car has only done 36k ;)
yes I'm sad, I accepted this a long time ago.
Consoles? I s**t em.
This to be honest and I'm definately not one of the ubercool Mac gang, in fact I hate the damn things, but iTunes performs flawlessly as far as I'm concerned.
Yes it's worth it for sure. I put one of these

in the laptop laptop and it goes like a b*****d now, it's an i7 so it wasn't exactly slow anyway but the SSD made a massive difference.
Only paupers rotate these days ;)
I'd agree with this, an SSD will make a massive difference, certainly did on a windows i7 laptop, 15 seconds from off to usable desktop, highest throughput i've seen yet is 245mb/second - oooer missus ;)
Tru dat. They're pretty good at design as well, I've always said that the pc would still be a beige box had it not been for Apple bringing out the translucent iMac eons ago.
Same as AndyRS really, I only bother with a 77mm UV on the 100-400 and the 24-105 as they stand me at a couple of grand but on a £60 (when I bought it) nifty fifty I don't bother. If I had the 50mm f1.2L that would be a different matter altogether ;)
Nice site, a search for 'tits and arse' threw up a few gems :)
Edit: especially if you select NSFW :)
That'll give the internet Nazi's in systems something to look at.
It's usually a case of undo a couple of screws, lift a flap (not that kind you pervs) and swap sticks, dead easy really, the hard drive is usually screwed down into a caddy with a small connector block shoved on the end of it.
Some lappies are a reet b*****d to open to swap stuff, some are a...
