the saga continues

While waiting for suggestions about airport express I tried to use the firewire to transfer stuff from my old imac to brand new powerbook. Firstly Migration utility didn't like that the user was named the same, so asked me to rename incoming user files. Then it moved all the stuff to a subfold

Demo For Product of iLife05

I've finally finished making a DVD using iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto and iTunes. If people would like to see it I'd be more than happy to do a quick demo of some of the "inoffensive" scenes on the DVD at the next meeting. If we've got really cool interesting stuff to see and people would still l

Re: Tiger -- what gives?

My guess/deduction is that it is only showing those updates that are not currently under heavy download - I assume (reasonably) that the various updates are hosted on various servers with it's mirrored across several servers so if all the servers hosting 10.4.1 are being worked too hard then

Re: Tiger -- what gives?

I checked the system updater at home this morning, there was a DVD player update but no 10.4.1. Half hour later I checked from one of the remaining iMacs I hadn't yet updated and there it was, then checked the iBook there was 6 other updates but no 10.4.1, checked at home again 10 minutes

Re: Disk partitioning
