Would also be nice if they had a $250 15" LCD and a $99 CRT monitor.
But Apple has always walked away from the low margin product -- though the $650-$699 eMacs for education are reaching down quite a bit.
Basically there isn't enough margin in the low end for Apple to sell there -- it's basically a loss-leader and/or break even (if they're lucky) product for the likes of a lot of other companies.

Hi all,
My first post on this site and already I am on the want..
I'm looking to upgrade the HDD of my Mini, current specs below.
I would like to take it up to 1.5TB or 2TB. It is something that is in my sphere of capability so not so worried about the actual doing of it.
Can anyone recommend a HDD that would be suitable and would fit?
Thanks,
Gledders

You'll probably be better off trying to sell your Touch out right. I don't think anyone would have an unopened iPhone.

I see you are back in full force. I have been avoiding the whole 6G thing since the performance of most multichannel cards with standard drives is fine. If you are running an array based on SSD drives then I can see the value at this time, but no mechanical drive is going to max out 3G (SATA II) at this time. BTW Nano, running an xserve now, made life so much easier. Have two Sans Digital SAS Chassis, 316X2, dual SAS connectors for 2400MB/S performance, and it has made dealing with raid simple. No more time out errors, no more hard drives dropping out, nothing. Not sure if plunking down $2500 per chassis is worth it but for me with no headaches it was.
Peace,
Noushy
The 6Gb/s cards are still faster than their previous 3Gb/s counterparts with the same disks (i.e. 1680 series vs. 1880 series running the same firmware revision, v1.49). Moving to 6.0Gb/s has both marketing as well as performance implications though (particularly in the enterprise market as SLC based SSD's fall in price and hopefully become more prevalent). I would expect mechanicals that run 6.0Gb/s controllers will run faster as well, even though they can't saturate the interface (native = no shifting backwards for compatibility). For a new storage solution, it would be best to go ahead and get the 6.0Gb/s compliant gear (allows for future growth by only dealing with drives and enclosures, assuming the port count isn't under-planned).
So if the existing equipment will be sufficient through it's planned lifespan, there's no need to rush out and buy 6Gb/s gear.
As per the equipment you used, the ease of use is why it costs so much (the software was already loaded, configured <save user settings>, and tested with the hardware) . I'd recommend keeping it until it no longer meets your needs (gets the job done and doesn't waste funds = keeps boss happy and your job secure :D). ;)

1. Apple officially announces that Boot Camp will be part of Leopard.
2. VMWare announces their product for OS X.
3. Microsoft kills VPC for Mac as it becomes pointless and sort of redundant.
After all, if they can sell the regular version of Windows to intel Mac users, why bother wasting money on something other companies are doing (VMWare and Parallels).
You want Windows on your Mac, use Boot Camp/buy VMWare or Parallels and then buy Windows like everyone else. No extra R&D funds/time required to enter the "Mac market", which thanks to Boot Camp is "all intel Mac users".
It's a simple business decision.
Yeah, this joke has been around forever. It originally was used when Windows 95 first came out. It isn't technically valid for NT, 2000, XP, or Vista. Those are just 32-bit (or 64-bit) OSes by a 2 bit company. :-D
Well, how about "Windows Vista: a 64-bit OS that can almost emulate a 32 bit shell running on a 16 bit extension of an 8 bit OS designed for a 4 bit CPU, made by a 2 bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."? ;-)

I have had two diesel cars, and quite a few petrol cars. I don't profess to know a huge amount about the mechanical reasons for these, but here are a few of my thoughts. In actual day-to-day driving it is possible to notice you are driving a diesel. While this is not positive, it is only a niggling negative, and should not be enough to put you off. They are considerably noisier at low speeds, and do certainly rumble under foot on the clutch. I have experienced this with both a Volvo C30, Audi A4 and a VW Passat courtesy car. The problem I found most of all was the slow acceleration - you must physically wait for the turbo-charger to kick in before the car moves quickly. It is a strange feeling, but certainly you can live with it.
Fuel cost I have found to be around the same in the UK. While there is a slightly higher MPG on the diesel cars I've driven, the extra cost of the fuel offsets this so they are fairly similar. Other maintenance costs seem to be around the same.
I think it is unlikely I will get another diesel for several reasons.

MacBook Air is awesome because they're so small. People want that in a product.
Only for specific purposes. I prefer 2x24" or 27" monitor for real work.

I feel like a addict. I'll kiss a man for my jailbreak.
I know people are working hard to get it done, and there is no one who appreciates their work more than I.
Bless you jailbreakers.
Jesus smiles upon you.
Wow!
There're creative ways to show your appreciation, kissing a man might not be enough motivation. Bust out some knee pads, then turn 'round, it ain't nuthin' but a butt ache; everyone cries their first time.
Take one for the team and git'r done.
:cool:

So... Does this mean my G5 iPod will have increased resolution? And also, when I updated my iTunes and plugged in my iPod it said it was already up-to-date. Hummm... any one have a suggestion?

Maybe try resetting your PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238) too, because it's kinda fun. :p
Agreed, start the machine up with P, R, Alt & the Apple key held down (simultaneously) until you hear the startup tone twice the release any carry on booting. Does it still do it after this?

When you installed 06.15, you read the warning saying that you will never be able to install stock FW again until a higher BB than 06.15 comes out, right?
The closest you can come is to create a custom FW that does not include Cydia.

Stopped by the Deer Park place today. Took me awhile to find it. Drove right past it. How I missed the big apple, I do not know ;)
Nice store, it was crowded but they had plenty copies of Leopard available and the lines moved fast.
Could not find a case for my iPod Touch tho. :(

So I take it you mean something like in the bottom diagram:
Not too keen on the whole soldering part, do you think there
would be 22-pin male to female extension cables where the female part is split up/separate i.e: 1x Power (Molex if available), 1x SATA DATA cable, in this event I would just connect one 2xSATA power to molex cable on it and no need for soldering. Something like in this link here (http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/246707108/sata_cable.html), but the power having only two wires looks odd?
As per the diagram, it's correct (hard to follow the wire colors as the bend around, but it looks right in terms of location as well as color). :)
What you're asking about (backplane cable that splits into two separate connectors with 4 wires for power) do exist (here (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/I2917-05M.asp)). It's not as clean IMO, but functional, and at least from this link, is more expensive (would have expected it to be cheaper, as they're used more often in PC's). If you look, I suspect you'll be able to locate it cheaper (just make sure you've more than 2 wires on the power connector - only get it if it has 4 power wires).
As per soldering, it's not hard, particularly soldering 2 wires together (buying a stick soldering iron, heat shrink tubing and solder won't be that expensive; should be able to manage it for under $20USD <example (http://www.amazon.com/Weller-SP23LK-Marksman-Watt-Soldering/dp/B0009ZD2AG)>, and it's handy for other projects). You can get a pack of heatshrink tubing from Walmart for under $5USD, and stay around the $20USD mark (as I assume you don't have any of the equipment or supplies to do it based on your aversion to soldering).

The SCSI interface on a Duo dock is an HDI 30, which is a square socket around the size of a sugar cube. You'd need a converter cable to hook up to a normal external SCSI cable.
From a 520c I could use another adapter from AAUI 15 to a crossover ethernet cable that could access CDs or files from another Mac using 8.0 or 9 or even Classic mode but the Duo dock that I've seen doesn't support that.
It a long time ago now so YMMV.
