Will it blend?

Nothing earth shattering at all, which is a bit surprising...the owner made a $120,000 investment...that's it? Hmmmm.....
Finally! The three purchasers of this thing can now use it with a remote.
Although your tutorial is 100% accurate, in practice, it's much easier! I migrated to two iMacs (from a G4 mini and a G5 tower) and to a MacBook Pro (from a MacBook). Piece of cake. The only thing you have to do is choose your printers again!

Simply simple....
Notice they did NOT sue over a violation of the EULA? I'm sure Apple does not want that tested in court!!
I would have to say, from 1997, MS PictureIT! It was a very useful, and easy to use photo program. I think that they dropped the ball on it and should have spent more time with it.

As a side note...any bets on when he "reboots" and comes back to help?

Favorite Mac program....OS X...as a PC user since the first dual-floppy, no hard drive PC, the switch to OS X 3 years ago has been fantastic. Great environment.
1. SuperDuper back-up to external every morning (backs up my 2nd/3rd internal HD (RAID) in MacPro that are set as a RAID to an external drive -- the RAID drive has four folders: Music, Photos, Movies, Documents).

2. SuperDuper back-up my start-up drive (1st internal HD in MacPro to partition on 4th internal HD -- only once every other week (the other partition is Win XP (not backed-up) -- theory: if there is a problem with the boot drive, it may take a few days to figure out that there is a problem...only backing up the boot drive every other week gives me time to figure out there's a problem and restore from the back-up prior to the problem

3. Time Machine - backs up RAID drive (Music, Photos, Movies, Documents)

4. Every week to two weeks, I bring home from work a portable drive to back-up my RAID drive (Music, Photos, Movies, Documents) -- knowing that I have everything off site gives me peace of mind that if something happened at the house, I'd have all but a week or so safe at the office.

Over the top? Nope. Just safe. Most of my friends don't even back-up!!



An O-1 is a nonimmigrant visa -- it does not get flipped directly to citizenship. That route requires obtaining permanent residence (the green card), having it for 5 years (and meeting certain residency requirements), then applying for naturalization. Her father was a US citizen--that does not automatically give her the right to US citizenship. He had to meet some US residency requirements before he was able to transmit to her. All she had to do was apply for a US passport and show that her father met the residency requirements. It was that simple for her!
She was joking. You can become a US citizen 3 ways:

1. You have a claim to it, from a US cit parent, for example
2. You hold a green card (permanent residence) for 5 years (3 if married to a US cit) and meet other requirements
3. Congressional act (private bill - rare, unless you want to win Olympic skating, which the US did a few years back)

Her father was a US citizen, so she only had to prove the he "transmitted" citizenship and she applied for a passport. Steve has power, but not that much!


I've had XM since 12/2001 -- it's amazing. When I get into a car without sat radio, it's horrible. For the cost of a CD or an album download, I have sat radio all month -- can't imagine not having it.

For those who refuse to pay, you are missing out. You really have to experience it. While I prefer XM to Sirius, either is better than terrestrial radio.

The best is having the portable device -- I can be outdoors in the nice weather and listen to whatever I'm in the mood for at any given moment. Something you don't get from an MP3 player.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
