[Suicide... Tell a friend!]

Thanks for the replies.

 

So many factors, diet too yep, screwing people's heads up. Add on top of that the need to keep things bottled up. Perfect storm.

 

It's sad for sure, especially when you feel you could have done something had you knew about it.

Such a waste of a life, with more energy and a brighter spark of life than many.

Tragic.

 

Keep your chins up!

It has gone from a document less than 5 pages to an overblown 400 in this iteration!

In order to get a democrat majority they needed a lot of pork and a lot of barrels.

 

Can't wait to see the easter eggs in this one!

 

Crazy!

[RIP Mama]

Hey Sorry to hear. I dread for that day to come for me too. No matter how we try to prepare, when that day comes its got to be hard.

My sincere condolences and hopefully you'll get back to normal life again soon.

 

On a lighter note, Atari Moms rock, even in heaven!

The broken Jag CD unit you have... It might just be that the wheel in the center (the drive wheel or whatever its called hehe) might be seized up. I got one that wasn't working but all I did was gently pry it up all around. I think the plastic might have swelled over time and the whole wheel sort of settled and seized up. I used a tiny flat head screw driver to pry. Try that, but carefully.

 

I even did it with the unit on so I could see if it began to spin etc. This may or may not be a good idea depending on your experience / confidence with it. If you can find something rigid that is non conductive that might be a better bet.

 

Mine's been working fine since.

G'Luck!

HAHAHA I was wayyyyyyyyyy off.

 

Nice laptop they are putting out and I couldnt agree more that an optical drive is no longer a necessity in a luggable form that is.

Not sure I would want something that light... I just picked up a macbook though so I cant wait to see what apple puts out next year when I go to upgrade.

 

Apple TV is going to be a blanket media center down the road though. I can see it and the mac mini merging to a degree. When that happens, pc games on the family TV will happen whether or not they support it is another thing.

Then again that's pretty much possible now with a mac mini.

 

You made some real good calls there. What's your predictions for the next round?

 

 

Nice predictions BUT...

 

Apple is going to sway into gaming this year. On the mobile side iphone/ipod they'll promote current games as well as a new apple TV with bluetooth ability for controllers etc.

The phantom(the vaporware pc games console of the late 90's / early 00's) will essentially be represented by the future apple tv by way of the apple tv and mac mini converging allowing for an apple or microsoft based games machine all inside a neat little tivo device. Think wii/mac mini and apple tv combined in some way as in the ATMARK PIPPIN attempts years back. Sorry for the jumbled logic here but I think you get what I mean.

 

Maybe even a rebirth of the Newton but in the form of the iPhone or WiPhone.
