QuotepRICE cUBE iMac is not in the mix as I would combine my mobile needs with and desktop needs into one. I am nit the young 17" MBP hauler I used to be. I got burned earlier this year by what it would cost me to get a truly upgraded MacBook Pro -- wanted 32GB RAM and at least 2TB storage, and that would have been at least double (if not nearly triple) what my company budget was.

Same here in the USA -- though the problem (for me at least) seems to be relegated to the desktop version of Mail; logging in via iCloud.com and using the Mail there seems to work fine.by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals

Quotemrbigstuff It's worth something to those like me who still have those cassettes and want to transfer them to a digital format. This exactly. Here's the "sold items" search for that model via eBay. Always your best bet when first investigating costs:by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals

Agreed; one of the reasons I wish Netflix (or Hulu, or Amazon) allowed for setup of playlists: so we could watch all the Ferengi-focused episodes. Was no real fan of them on TNG, but they are a blast on DS9.by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
QuotePaul F. If it was me, I'd have it serviced... wince a little at the price...have it appraised, have it insured, then wear it out for special occasions once in a while. Could use the money more than the occasional schmancy showing.by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
Update: local jeweler (the only Rolex-approved vendor in the region) wants $700 for service. I'm waiting to hear back from our old jeweler back home to see what they charge. That said, I'm liking what I see via JPK's suggestion, <www.thewatchbuyersgroup.com>. Service is still pricey ($400) but certainly better than anything else I've seen/been told so far.

> I'm curious what you mean by "is antsy about contacting them regarding this". Are you thinking there's a chance this may be a stolen watch? No; the jeweler in question is one my family has been dealing with for decades. I've not been there, however, in about 15 years (well before my relocation due to Katrina) and the gentleman I've spoken to (via email) knows my dad (and stillby Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
I'd be more likely to purchase tickets if it were more of a raffle setup (first match wins a big jackpot but it's ceiling'd to be, say, 50% of the pot, with each successive winner (matches 5 nos) winning a percentage of the pot, etc.). I'd also buy into a mortgage lottery, where winners have their mortgage paid off instead of winning a big cash pot, and the likelihood of winning was higher b'c tby Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
I have a Rolex Oyster Perpetual purchased back in the 90s. It's been in a box for ages on end; I never wear it. I'm thinking of having it appraised and trying to sell it. Any thoughts/recommendations? The jeweler I bought it from is a state away and is seeming a little antsy about my contacting them regarding this.by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
> They probably thought it could have been C4. My wife once traveled with her freezable pain pack (good-sized and kidney shaped); that set off all manner of red flags. Six people came over when we were opening her luggage. They nearly confiscated it but one of the guys said it was no problem; he had one himself on his desk right next to the check-through area and recognized it and the brandby Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
Now that the entire Monty Python collection is finally available on Netflix in the US, my kids (all college students) and I have been working our way through the Flying Circus series. When this sketch started, my oldest said, "oh my God this is the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch!", having only seen still images & gifs from it. Been a fun ride.

Half a million after taxes is all I want -- mortgage payoff, bill payoff, set up the kids' college funds. A full million would almost be glutinous*. Wouldn't say no to it. Still, I think this sums it up nicely: * should be gluttonous; I let autocorrect fix and didn't pay attentionby Zoidberg - Tips and Deals

Have used Bean since I first stumbled upon it. Even though he's said there'll be no further development, the author has provided maintenance updates with each major OS release. It's rock solid & simple; I use it pretty much for all my word processing (even though my company pays for an Office license).by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals

Quotefreeradical I'm not quite sure what I would use that much RAM for. Now 128 MB in an SE/30 ... I have a video editing app (for adding subtitles, specifically) which will basically fill as much RAM as you have available. The more the better.by Zoidberg - Tips and Deals
