Hi Mark I recently bought a chair from Disarect in Northbridge. There are about four other furniture stores on the same street, but they pretty much sell the same kind of stuff as each other. Disarect's stuff is a bit more upmarket, but still reasonable price-wise. Mind you, my chair won't

There is an office furniture shop in Albany Highway not far from Carousel on opposite side of the highway. Probably a little more towards the hills direction (but not far). I don't know the name though. It think it is run by an Asian family and they make them to order in different timber finishes.

If I decide to upgrade to Leopard, which I guess I will sooner or later so it might as well be sooner, then I quite like the idea of Time Machine. I have three Macs (MacBook Pro, G4 PowerBook, and a G4 iBook) running on a wireless network, plus Apple TV, and historically my back up solution has

I have had bad experiences with LaCie from the pov of the drives and Mac compatibility and customer service (there is none). The drive was one of the Porsche designs - I would advise against them. I am getting a G-Tech drive for Time Machine: http://
