I remember doing some sysdamin work as a student long ago in college
and we'd have to track down rogue processes from students on the big
shared unix box and re-nice them. It was fun to threaten people with
re-nicing their long running processes. Could turn a 30 minute SPSS

I feel the same way. Unfortunately my MBP 15 inch is already maxed out
on RAM (8mb). I'd love to up it even more.
One thing I've noticed is that while it makes a difference on a Mac,
it makes a huge difference for a PC. On my PC laptop I have 4 gig of
RAM and I'm running Win7 pro. Upping it to 8
I just asked the Unix nerd here what that was. Interesting, I learned

Separately from my costume idea - I'd guess they could learn to dock

I want an iPhone app that goes along with one of these that you can setup

Put the phone in your pocket, put a leash (thread, yarn, something
lightweight) on the copter and
