I spoke to one of my dealers today and they offered me two demo 20" ACDs for c250$ less than the 23".
I do hobby video and photos with no chance of going pro. The two things that bug me about the two displays are 1. the "gap", especially when watching DVDs (can I?) and 2. I loose c150pixels in height vs the 23", important for portrait mode, or is 150 something I should get over??!!
Thanks - you've steered me right so far, guys! :)
Hmm. Good question.
I bought a 20" dell 2005FPW about a year ago.. yeh it was a great price and yeh I wanted a big screen... but I'm kicking myself now that I didn't spring for the 24". The 20" is a bit small.... but two, you'd have to make the call.
I hate the gap created by dual screens. If it were me, I'd go for the 23", but I'm picky. I think the two 20" makes more cost effective sense, but screw it... go for the 23" and you won't rerget buying the small screens later.
We're talking $1200 price range for two 20"?

my setup...
...
5mbs cable connection
theirs...
...
7mbs cable connection
its so choppy, 2fps at most. im not expecting 30, but a little more than 2. am i doing something wrong? are there other AIM clients with better video support?
-rozwellRemember the download speed on your cable is not guaranteed. And more importantly remember that your upload speed is usally capped at a much lower value - somewhere between 256Kb and 512Kb. And upload speed is a cap, not a guarantee.
Also, other network activity you have going on could affect it as well.

Update 12.0.1 is out...doesn't mention the 10.6.4 issues, but it does say "A number of issues that could cause slow performance have been addressed."
I hope it does address the current problem. I've been holding off on installing CS5. Anyone try PS CS5 with this new patch?

Would you be interested in Rampage Total Destruction or Geometry Wars? I also have a classic controller, but I probably won't let that go unless the price is high enough.
Thanks!

Since you want the computer to be a media hub for your family, and you already have 100GB of media, I would go for the larger hard drive. Your media needs are only going to increase - especially with pictures and video from your T1i.
On the Office/iWorks issue I have to agree that if you are going to be exchanging files with office users (i.e. from work, family, etc), then just get office.
It will help for the kids also, when they are working on files for school. My kids were always working on Word Documents, Powerpoint Documents, etc. After spending alot of time on the documents at home, they need to know they work at school on the Windows machines...
On the subject of Applecare, this will provide you with two additional years of warranty coverage - after your warranty ends. You have to purchase it before the warranty ends, but it doesn't matter if you buy it on day 1 or day 365 - you get the same amount of coverage either way.
Remember Applecare doesn't cover accidental damage. Only warranty type issues, such as a dead motherboard, bad LCD, etc. Sometimes I think you do get preferential treatment at the Apple store though if you have purchased Applecare.
I have had very good luck with my Apple machines, so I don't tend to purchase it. That said, I have a pair of iMac G5's (2006 vintage) that could probably been repaired out of warranty with Applecare.
I would tend to agree on waiting to purchase it if you have any doubts. Give yourself 10 months or so to live with the machine, and see how it is working for you. Read the forums here and see how others with the same models are doing. If you are comfortable with it then you don't have to purchase it. If you have any concerns, then feel free to purchase it for some additional piece of mind.
One last thing - make sure you purchase an external hard drive if you don't already have one. Set it up with Time Machine (included with your Mac) or the backup program of your choice, and make sure all of that media is backed up. If you can, get two drives, and keep one of them at work, or somewhere else offsite, just incase something happens at your home.
Good luck with your new Mac!

If the majority of programs you use are Windows programs, you would be better of purchasing a Windows laptop. Virtual PC is an irritatingly slow program in my opinion, especially on a G4.

My wife runs all the time with hers. She uses the Nike+ system along with some very pricey Sony bluetooth headphones with a remote builtin. I almost bought her a Nano because I know it most of the features she wants. However, the bluetooth headphones wouldn't work.
Any tips or should I just wait for the Sonys to day and see about a Nano then?

I've never had a frayed iPod or iPhone cable.
Sounds like some people are pulling on the cable instead of pulling the plug area.

im getting "this device isnt eligible for the requested build" error in itunes. any takers? thanks
I had the same problem. Found the solution in comments to the Dev Team Blog post.
I'm copying and pasting the instructions below, and it worked for me.
Check your hosts file to make sure 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com is commented out. It's a file that the operating system uses to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
On Windows it's located at C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
On Windows 7 you might need to Right-click on Notepad and 'run-as administrator' to be able to edit the file. Then browse to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc.
In OSX it's located at /private/etc/hosts
The best way to edit the file here is run the following from the terminal app
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
When it asks you for your password use the same on you use to log into the system.
Add a # before the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Press Control O to save, hit enter, and control X to exit the editor

If you are using FCP you should have QT Pro which means you can encode to an h.264 mov and and many other things.
If you don't have QT Pro you can purchase as a standalone upgrade from QT for $30. All you do is buy a Serial Number from Apples Website, and open QT's preferences and enter it. You're DONE. Not QT-X this is a newer version of quicktime but doesn't have a pro version yet.
Now fore people that are stuck PC's. And instead of creating some type of h.264 encoded video.
Get Flip4Mac. This is a plugin for QT Pro that adds another option for encoding to Windows Media. That way there is no problems viewing on a PC.
Also you can export right from FCP using QT conversion exporting and choose Windows Media option and adjust settings that fits you.

You can use CSS to hide the scroll bars (overflow:hidden), then use JavaScript to set the scroll amount on the iframe. I'll let you search on that as I don't really have the time for it.

I've got a book to start working on it, but haven't gotten around to it yet. After a few years of PHP/MySQL development I'm thrilled with what I've seen so far of the demos.
Check out the thread on RoR I started in June for more discussion. I'm closing this one so as to avoid splintering the discussion.
