I have tried Jodix Free iPod Video Converter. It works well and it is free.

I like to leave the MacBook Pro on permanently. I understand that its the best way to run Macs as downloads and maintenance can be carried out over night, I think! Its also a fact that laptops tend to heat up a bit when under pressure, more so than desktops. I thought one way to keep things cool would be to have some control over the fan. I located a utility called Fan Control, it does what it says. Okay if not on mains the battery life is effected but most of my time spent on the laptop when plugged in, so no problem. Also it can be adjusted in on the move. The links for Fan Control, a free application is, http://www.lobotomo.com/products/FanControl/ I imagine there is also a free utility for PCs Mike PS: Something for the PC laptops, http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html

mike, a beautiful piece of design indeed. i got apple's mightymouse with my macbook pro and am very happy with it. i am a sucker for good design and in that respect apple is unbeatable. when it dies out i may consider going for this one.

This is my first post here. I'm not yet a SU user but I'm building a system that I intend to use for SU: ASUS A8V Deluxe (non-PCI) Athlon X2 4200+ 2GB DDR400 WinXP As for my graphics card, I'm limited to AGP. I'm between the HIS X1950 Pro (512MB) and the XFX 7900 GS (256MB). I can't seem to find a 512MB version of the 7900 GS. Both cards are roughly $150 with rebates. There aren't but a handful of AGP cards more powerful than these two, for example, the 7950 GT. I read today that NVidia has developed a AGP/PCI bridge for the GeForce 8 series and that an AGP version of the 8600 is just around the corner Back to reality... I'm thinking I should go with the X1950 PRO simply because it has 512MB. But I read elsewhere here that Nvidia based cards are best for SU. Perhaps this is no longer the case?? Advice would be appreciated. David [ginahoy]

If you don't mind, guys, I'm moving this topic to the Hardware forum (leaving a shadow here for you to be able to follow...)

I have ATI Radeon X550 - quite an old (bought it 2 years ago) and not very powerful piece but I get along with SU. Yet I heard Nvidia cards are better. There is a thread about this in the Pro forum (why there, BTW - I am moving it right here).

he,he, let him make a command and password remember script to save it in SU

It is a dedicated graphics card. It is handling SU fine although I have not put it through it's paces yet. What I will do is test it some more later and report back.

yeah 200 sounds pretty high... I think I paid 140 for 2 sticks of 1 gig...

Thanks. The University of Tennessee diploma is a big-ass piece of paper! Hopefully, soon I will have an architect's license to add to them.

Mike Thanks for this. Our house is victorian and has no concrete floor slabs, when you lift a floor board you see an air gap below he joists and then earth. It has never posed a problem but ideally I want to lay a damp proof membrane and lay a concrete slab over the top. I was dreading the thought of ripping up all the floors though, so I've been looking for a self levelling concrete product with chemical damp protection. That way I won't have to lift all the floor boards. I'm not sure if Hypercrete is self levelling but it is a step in the right direction.

The only advantage I see over a motorcycle is that you don't have to put your feet down when you stop. And it looks real cool?

It won the Ig Nobel Award for Economics in 2005. :egrin: :egrin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners#2005

Hmm- I wonder if this "seed" of an idea has been done before? The grip would, of course, be tiltable to some degree, with option to lock angle or maybe adjust friction for tilt. Obviously, I've spent less than 15 minutes- just a fun thing using my friendly little Evernote utility. [image: Mousgrip.jpg]

nice.. might have to give this a whirl too. i used to have a cool program on my t610 phone that allowed me to control my mac via bluetooth..that was fun

i think someone has just come out with a program called the 'revirginizer'....haha..which allows iphone users to upgrade to the new firmware and reunlock their phone.. but yeah, that is f'd up..france??

It worked fine for calls but was not able to go on the Net (via Nokia 6300) to check emails. I must contact them to see is this is possible or in the pipeline. Mike

Kerkythea is soon going to release the Mac version, too.
