[QUOTE=STEEKER]
i had on the those TB2s that was made out of canvas with the tarp liner and the liner cracked all over the place, also deformed a bit. nice bad though; too bad T2 doesn't make the cotton canvas any more, it felt more, i dunno, old worldly, like a worn tilley hat.
it smells like natural gas in my office, i think i'm getting high from the fumes.

On an unrelated topic...I need some help from the computer savvy folks here.
Firstly I have an old computer at home that has a bunch of music (4 gigs) that I want to transfer on to my machine at work. Easy? Hard? Just put the drive in? Help?
Secondly a friend of mine gave me an old Mac laptop..Powerbook G3. I know very little of Mac...even less than P.C. which is very little. If it is not hopelessly outdated software wise I would like to start messing with it. Any Mac guys give me some insight?

Like this perhaps: https://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...542208&CatId=0
Invariably all the laptops in this price ranges are most likely not going to be macs. Ironically the 12" laptops are much more expensive than the 14"s above in general.
Macs you can do an ibook g4 for around a grand and change (12" screen) and looks pretty spiffy. All my connections reside in Pmall

I've been a died-in-the-wool PC guy since '82, been using MACs and PC's for the last 15 years. OS-X kicks butt, my next machine is a MAC. The OS is finally making use of RAM properly..... cuz it's UNIX Can be a little glitchy when it crashes though. Looking forward to testing the IntelMAC.

Purely because i'm gaming the PC is where it's at
Although I really don't do much any more. Good ole days of boot disks and 486's to play dos games are over. Windows 3.1 was also teh bomb. I remember doing dialup into my isps bbs to chat and loading up hotmail on IE 3 or 2 on a 256 colour only capable video card.
Yeah!

jeremy: if you want to chat about laptops send me a PM. let me know what sort of budget you have. The new macbook starts at $1250, which is really great for what you get. I switched to Apple over a year ago and haven't looked back. If you don't want to play games on the thing then there's little to no reason to get a windows-based pc (imho) -- especially since you can even install Windows on the new intel-based stuff if necessary for some reason.
Anyone want to do any riding tomorrow evening? I can't tonight, but I'll more than likely be up for something tomorrow.

It's a great thing.
Hey Wes, I want to talk with you about designing my photography website.
CV Thursday night @ 8-830pm meet @ Yonge and Dundas Square this time?

On another note, I have a 11am meeting at 2001 Drew road tomorrow (directly across from the west side of Pearson airport). How long would it take to ride there from downtown and what route would be the best? I am imagining it would be very difficult and dangerous but I could be wrong... I need to confirm whether I want a taxi ride before the end of the day.
