Thanks for the replies..
now investigating just going 1080p24 and converting from 60i to 50i instead to provide them the footage. Seems as though the loss of quality would be significantly less than standard video...

Cool, but it's not for me. I need optical storage, better CPU and GPU, more ports. All the same reasons why I never bothered with a netbook :p.

Nope, sorry. The iBook G4 uses PC-333 laptop RAM (IIRC, I sold my iBook G4 1GB RAM stick to a user on here) while the MacBook uses either DDR2 (PC2-8500) RAM. Plus, the physical pin layout on MacBook RAM is different than the physical pin layout on iBook RAM.

Personally, I use T-mobile now and get a few more dropped calls than if I were using Verizon but they are also cheaper and have much nicer phones because they support GSM.
Similar for me... I spent about four years with Sprint and now about three with T-Mo. I've been happier with the latter, although I was close to switching to Verizon or Cingular. And we've done that thread a thousand times...
But, so this business of using a new frequency is interesting. It seems quite a gamble, especially since it's just T-Mobile and apparently even just T-Mo North America. One replier above stated that these new phones will be based on WiMax. This seems suspect, because WiMax, as far as I know, only goes down to 2 GHz, and one of the frequencies T-Mo is spending so much money on is 1.7.... I wonder what the deep meaning of leaving the GSM frequency is going to be.....

I'm very exited the new iMacs came out tuesday. I'm wanting to buy the 21,5 inch based model. Unfortunately, I live in Belgium, for those who don't know where that is: it's in the western part of Europe. So I wanted to know when the new iMac possibly can arrive.
I also wanted to know your opinions onto the new iMacs and especially te 21,5 inch based model.
Please let me know.

Adobe CS5 Photoshop Classroom in a Book should show you the basics
Amazon link ...
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=classroom+in+a+book&x=0&y=0
shows more than the basics! I got this book for Christmas and it is fantastic. Very easy to follow and if you want to learn specific features it is easy to jump around from section to section.
Classroom in a Book +1 here!
I used the photoshop classroom in a book back when it was Photoshop 5.0. My freshman college digital class was based off that book. I already had experience but the book was a great reference and unlike online tutorials, it explained "why" you do a certain thing not just "how". I highly recommend it.

snberk103: thanks again for the explanation. You continue to provide food for thought. Also, initially, I will not rely on this machine as a "workstation/paycheck" so I have to re-think my strategy, maybe. :) Maybe I am not being realistic and an iMac will be plenty of machine for me! Although I do not buy the latest and greatest every week and that is why the Mac Pro is a viable option. A catch 22 if you know what I mean. ;)
Eaton Photos: I viewed some of your photos via your link and they are perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I saw that you compute with an original Mac Pro. This RAID thing is definitely something to consider, but I do not want to bite off more than I can chew! Honestly, I am overwhelmed with information, and that is good. I have to re-think my goals and configure a machine accordingly. Your machine has been around the block so to speak and it is performing to your satisfaction. This is most encouraging to say the least. :)
dlegend: I appreciate the advice, as I do not take offense to you recommending an iMac! Trust me, I am still brainstorming whether it is a good choice. The mac Mini though, is not an option. Nothing wrong with them and if I wanted to buy a new machine every year or so, then that is the logical route due to Xs and Os. :D
I like the iMac and the 27" screen is awesome, and it must be viewed in person to be truly respected, but I understand it is not optimal for a photography. There are options to upgrade ram to 16 GB which is more than adequate for my needs. Now what I do not like. The HDD is burried behind the monitor. I am mechanically inclined, but I would not feel comfortable using a suction cup to remove the glass display in order to access the HDD. Honestly, this is my only concern and I countered it by ordering a machine with an SSD and 1 TB HDD respectively.
Thanks again for the advice, as I am indebt to the folks in the forum. Now I have to prioritize my needs: by placing my wants in the recycle bin and finally order a machine! :D Decisions, decisions.
EDIT: This thread serves as a great "this vs. that" discussion. Meaning, what do I want and/or what is required. Sometimes there is a vast difference between the two and I speak from experience.

Hi,
Ok, i know this site is by it's nature about gadgets, but for me it's all about the carrier.
I've had 8 different carriers in the last 10 years. Many of them have merged/
changed names/gone out of business.
When i see people complaining about their carrier, it's always about coverage
dropouts. Folks, ALL carriers will have SOME dropouts, especially if you live
in a challenging physical terrain.
What i found more aggravating is how obtuse and unresponsive these companies are. This is an area of modern commerce that is barely regulated.
Politicians have been lobbied to allow a wild west mentality for an industry
that has insinuated itself into most of our lives in just a short time.
I've had carriers routinely sneak in extra charges. Representatives have no
compunction about lying. I don't know about you, but i don't have time to
audit my bill every month with a magnifying glass.
Each carrier was worse than the last. The most annoying thing? Being
put on hold for 40 minutes, than disconnected. This is intentional. They don't want to be accessible.
Finally the last time i switched i did a search to see which companies had the least complaints. Although the billing practices overall in the industry
are atrocious, i've had the best experience overall with my current carrier.
This trumps any pleasure i would get from having a phone that integrates
well with my macs.
The only thing worse than crappy cell phone companies would be someone that thinks the government could make it better. What motivation does the govt have to make cell phone compainies better? Votes. That's it. Votes. The only motivation that government has. So they'll promise you that they'll make it better. You'll vote for them. They'll spend money regulating whatever you think needs regulating. They'll create a branch that costs some upzillion dollars. Cell phone companies will be forced to comply with some ridiculous something or other. They'll up your bill by placing a charge on it called the "rsoo tax" to pay for it. The cell phone companies will all still treat you badly. Vote with your feet. Keep switching carriers. Don't blow your cash on idiotic features for idiotic prices. The companies will comply and compete for your business.

Can DVD Jon's DRM be so similar to Apple's that when iTunes updates and goes looking for Firplay protected content, it finds content protected by DVD Jon's DRM and updates that too?
All I'm saying is, if you like to buy music from the iTunes Music Store, it's not a good idea to buy a non-licensed player [e.g. iPod] whilst relying on a hack. If Apple decide you need iTunes 7.2 to use the Music Store then you're stuck waiting for DVD Jon to work some more. Fine if you like waiting a few years to unlock your music, but then why not just buy the CD if you're going to wait that long?
I hate DRM by the way, but personally I think if you're going to this much trouble you might as well buy the music from another online store or just buy and rip the CD...

Having Apache running on your computer, and the appropriate ports open on your firewall does theoretically make your computer more vulnerable, but in reality it's definitely not a "sure fire way to get hacked". As long as you take appropriate security measures, like having your firewall set up correctly and turning off things such as Server Signature your chances of getting hacked are quite slim. Apache is what powers a large portion of websites across the world, and if it in itself was that vulnerable websites would go down a lot.
Having a dynamic IP will greatly decrease your chances of getting hacked, as well, because it will change each time your modem gets reset, making your virtually un-findable for any would-be hackers. (Unless you use some sort of DynDNS service that is).

After taking about a 3 hours nap, I've spent the last several hours working on my blog post of the iPhone 3G S launch at the Miami Beach Apple Store.
This being Miami Beach, it wasn't your average launch...with police shoot outs, road blocks, drunk people stumbling by the line (and dancing), and of course Mr. Clucky.

Yes, this would work well with Apple QuickCam video camera tag first/tag next/tag last approach. I would then be able to video tape my vacations import to iphoto/imovie and it would pop up and then allow others QuickCam users to see and interact ala youtube for Apple... very cool, nice find.

You missed the entire point.
If you are going to say that you know it is the phone over the carrier, you have to be able to have experienced other phones on that carrier to see if they have the same issues (Therefore it can't be the phone cause different phones still have the same issues) or you have to have used the same phone on Verizon and witnessed that the phone didn't have the same problems on Verizon.
Your experience had you using a different phone on Verizon than on AT&T and your only experience with AT&T being the iphone. Therefore the problem could be either the iphone or AT&T cause you have no basis of comparison to be able to pinpoint which is the problem!
And your experience with "other carriers" says nothing about AT&T (odd that you don't say they are experiences with AT&T... )
Didn't miss the point at all.
I've stood in several locations and observed Verizon phones make calls and non-verizon have no signal. Smart phone or not.
The carrier was the difference. Verizon is much better than other carriers in rural areas and low signal areas such as my basement office. Lots of people around this office with different model phones and carriers to observe.
Oh and I'm including ATT in "other carriers". So that is cleared up. ATT does not do as well as Verizon in rural areas and certain specific urban areas.
But if you live in an area with good ATT signal then no problem.
By the way I'm taking my free coupon into ATT this week to get the microcell. The reason being my home gets poor ATT signal. This wasn't the case with Verizon. More proof for you.
Overall my experience with ATT is good. I get by. I'm not bashing them. Just stating the facts. There are certain areas where I do miss having Verizon though.

Did a crazy thing. tired of waiting on the iPad2 jailbreak, and now read that comex has dropped the project. so I ordered a jailbreakable iPad 1 as a fill-in.
AT&T has(d) the ipad1 3Gs for about half price. $329 (16gb), $429 (32,64). figure I can use it and resell it at near cost. It's a refurb with 90 days warr. whatda think?
I like tweaking and adding non-Apple functions and the iPad 2 has been less used w/o a jailbreak. I used my previous iPad1 32gb 3G a lot more. I sold it for over $800 in March, it had the unlimited data Plan that many people want. I've been reverting use to an iPod Touch 4gen with the retina screen, also a great device and more portable.
