Chloe slips Dusty Baker an infrared tag which Dusty deftly smacks onto a ball. He then gives each of the Cubbies an infra-red scanner in their sunglasses so that they might better be able to see the ball.

Re: EDU Discount: Proof needed? - 14 years ago

Better yet, visit the bookstores at major campuses. They often have deals on top of the EDU discount. You won't often get a lower price - that's set by Apple, but they will often times have attractive "add-ons". … in a rare case, bfd got a lower price than Apple EDU on an iBook last year (it was the same $100 rebate as Amazon had going, but Amazon didn't have the EDU discount…)

Re: Letter that Arnold Kennedy is sending out - 14 years ago

The governator is a "machine" in search of an issue right now. He was bitch-slapped severely by the teachers, firefighters, police, and nurses last fall. Since then, he's been in repent and repair mode. Sadly, California and politics don't mix. That's how we end up getting people like this to run things: Earl Warren Ronald Reagan Jerry Brown Pete Wilson Gray Davis and The T

Re: Time share Experience? - 14 years ago

It's not a great "vacation" strategy, but for older folks it might make sense. For 75G they could take a world cruise - but it'd be a one time fling. 3 timeshares = 3 weeks of vacation a year at generally nice places. They're not probably going to pay off the entire 75G, so amortizing that over the rest of their lifetime is one metric you might use to determine "the value"…

Nope. And depending on what flavor of 3 you've got, it might not even work with your machine after the transformation. bfd's G5 refused to have anything to do with "do it yourself" upgrade, and apparently it's the machine and system version that makes a difference. You can still get a 3.0.3.39 version for a much reduced price from Alsoft, less than $20. That'd give you a new CD guar

Re: Point & Shoot Digital Cameras...What's in your pocket? - 14 years ago

…although it's a little out of your initial price range ($259) the value is outstanding. Takes CF cards, uses 4AAs. captures stills at 3.2MP and 640 x 480 video at 30FPS. The image stabilization feature and the 10x optical zoom are probably what pushes this past the other cameras mentioned here (which are all nice ones, by the way).
