The sale lasts only one day and is usually nicely discounted. Today, they have Cocktail on sale for $9.95 (Retail price $14.95). Cocktail has been mentioned a couple time in our meetings and I figure this sale would benefit some of those on the list. "Cocktail is an award winning general purpose utility for Mac OS X. It is a smooth and powerful digital toolset with a variety of practical features that simplifies the use of advanced UNIX functions and helps hundreds of thousands of Mac users around the world to get the most out of their computers. The application serves up a scrumptious mix of maintenance tools and interface tweaks, all accessible via a comprehensive graphical interface. Most of Cocktail's major features are arranged in five basic categories. In addition, a Pilot lets you clean, repair and optimize your system with one click of the button." http://www.maczot.com/index.php John From jrearick at bobbis.net Thu Oct 4 08:26:03 2007 From: jrearick at bobbis.net (John Rearick) Date: Thu Oct 4 08:27:07 2007 Subject: AmesMUG: Meeting Reminder Message-ID: <68E34F6D-82DE-475C-B179-7D92BF8FB66D@bobbis.net> Just a reminder about Thursday's meeting at 7 PM in 1246 Howe.

You can double check here: http://www.isubookstore.com/SiteText.aspx?id=2928 Click on Dept. Sales and Institutional Purchase's when on the Apple site. These are the prices at the bookstore. You can also see that iLife and iWork are $39 (which is what the bookstore is charging). I guess you can also call the bookstore and verify this (which I have not done yet). -Oscar On Oct 16, 2007, at 3:44 PM, Nicholas Meyer wrote: > Just so nobody's caught off-guard... be aware that the educational > price for Leopard is $116, instead of $69 like it has been for > previous versions. > > -Nick > ___________________________________________________________________ > > Send AmesMUG mailing list submissions to amesmug@amesmug.org. > > List archives sorted by posting date and thread are available on > the web at http://www.amesmug.org/pipermail/amesmug. > > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change your digest/non-digest > preferences for the Ames Macintosh Users Group > e-mail list, please visit http://www.amesmug.org/lists/. > > Please send any feedback you may have to amesmug-owner@amesmug.org.

While this makes such a phone less than ?totally open,? we believe it is a step in the right direction." Does this mean Apple is going to expand on what Nokia is doing with the digital signatures? If so, does this then mean Apple will decide what applications will be able to run on the iPhone? John On Oct 17, 2007, at 10:41 AM, Sheng Ly wrote: > If you haven't heard the good news.

So much more convenient. The enclosure below would be nice for your current internal drive, since it gives you USB 2.0 and eSATA (which is much faster, but you'd have to buy an eSATA ExpressCard for your MacBook Pro). Always good to have eSATA for the future. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145393 -- Brandon Newendorp On Oct 20, 2007, at 11:30 AM, Clark Colby wrote: > I also am looking to get either a larger external or possibly a > larger internal for my MacBook Pro.

Involves removing over a dozen screws and several parts. You can only install "Customer Installable Parts" without voiding your warranty. On the MBP, those are basically RAM and the battery. -- Brandon Newendorp On Oct 20, 2007, at 6:17 PM, david l goodrich wrote: > On Sat, Oct 20, 2007 at 11:54:23AM -0500, Nicholas Meyer wrote: >> It's not for the faint of heart, and if you mess it up, no amount of >> warranty is going to get you your computer back. > > It's not?

I know someone who replaced the drive in their Powerbook so often that they stripped the screws. His solution to that was just to get a new Macbook Pro, though :-p If you want to try it, you can use the excellent guides available at: http://www.ifixit.com/ And for the drive you'll be taking out of your MacBook Pro, any 2.5" SATA enclosure should do; like these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Thanks! I looked on Parallels site earlier but didn't see that. I downloaded it and installed it and so far it looks like Parallels is working reliably in leopard so far. I'll have to do some more testing but so far it's working great with only very minor problems (being MacFUSE gives some odd error when I start a VM up) other than that it looks good. Thanks for pointing me at that. Now I can stop worrying about if I am going to get my homework done on time. *whew* From Colin On Oct 29, 2007, at 4:03 PM, Hari Wiguna wrote: > I have not used Parallels in a while, and I don't have Leopard yet. > However, if you're feeling gutsy, there is a new beta build 5540 here: > http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/beta > > Enter at your own risk. > =Hari= > > On 10/29/07, Colin Wheeler wrote: > Im just trying to figure out if anybody else is experiencing issues > with Leopard and Parallels.
