I cannot believe I found this, this is my .profile from years gone by. I reference an apple campaign that is from around 1994, I know it’s not any newer than that as Netcom was bought out shortly after by earthlink, and they dumped all the shell accounts.

If you are like me and have absolutely no artwork for any CD you have ripped here the solution. Just hop on over to All Music and drag and drop the artwork from the album into the slot in iTunes. In Safari it is totally seamless. Enjoy!
Here’s a good article that lists some concerns from both sides of the argument, how dangerous is your phone to the plane’s operation?
You will get about 60 to 70 kbps over the connection. You can get cable from FutureDial, or RadioShack, or Sprint (it is cheapest @ RS). You can also purchase the cable here.
- Create a new location call it “PCS”
- Connect the phone to the Mac.
- Go into the PPP tab of the Network System Preferences.
- Enter #777 for the phone number
- Enter your Vision username and password
- Select advanced and shut-off TCP Header compression.
- Go into the Modem tab and select “au cdmaOne C413S by Sony”.
- Launch Internet Connect and connect
The modem will connect and disconnect as needed even though your PPP connection still shows active. This is normal and will help save a LOT of battery when there is no traffic. The downsides of this are slower responses when it shuts off and no way to offer any network ‘services’. If you have fax software set up another location and use the fax software to connect to the phone number and use the same modem script as above, just select the phone as the modem to dial out with. hope this helps!
Okay, so who knew this announcement was going to mean so much! We all knew about the music service, and we all new that Apple once again was going to revolutionize another industry…here’s what we didn’t know:
- It is no longer cool to steal music
- There is a viable alternative to buying music
- You no longer have to pay out the nose for a CD, when one song is all you wanted.
- The iPod is now even cooler
- iTunes is now even cooler
- Host your own library on your external 120gig drive and have access to it through the house, like on your wireless 802.11g powerbook
- One-Click buy a song through iTunes
- AAC 128kbps sounds better than mp3 192kbps
- AAC is going to be the new standard
- Apple’s market share is going to double in the college market
What is next? Streaming AAC? Stay Tuned, I know I am!
It still amazes me what is available on the web, information abounds. I have spent the last hour researching the birth of the video game. I remember my first glimpse of the future, it was an orange box with two dials and two switches that hooked into the antenna screw of the tv…it was called PONG.

The Christian symbolism of Easter was first underlined by the Apostle
Paul. When the Christians began to celebrate Easter, they retained some of the features of the Jewish Passover, while at the same time adding others. This can be seen from the paschal lamb and the red eggs.

MOUNT MAQLOUB, Iraq, April 25 (Reuters) – Weeks after U.S. warplanes bombed sites near an ancient monastery in northern Iraq, Father Adda and Brother Paul are preparing their message of peace for Orthodox Easter Sunday.
The two elderly Assyrian Christians do not expect a big turnout at one of the world’s oldest monasteries on Mount Maqloub, northeast of Mosul, for the most important Christian festival. The Orthodox church celebrates Easter a week later than Catholics and Protestants.
In fact, the black-cloaked clerics may well be celebrating Easter alone in the small chapel at St. Matthew monastery, just as they do on many other Sundays and feast days at one of Iraq’s most important Christian sites dating back to 363 AD.
“We are looking forward to Easter when we can preach a message of peace all over Iraq,” said the small, jovial Adda as he rubbed the gold and jewelled cross hanging on his chest.
Clinging to cliffs high on a craggy mount, the monastery was close to the old frontlines between Iraqi forces and Kurdish guerrillas to the east.
The capture of Mount Maqloub by the Kurds on April 9 was seen as decisive in the fall of Saddam’s forces in Iraq’s third city of Mosul.

Yes you heard correctly, scheduled for May 11th at 9pm there will be a 90210 10 year reunion show! However, Tori, Ian, Tiffani, and Brian are not on the RSVP list, which is a little disappointing. I can see Tiffani, as she is the only with a big show right now, but there is really no excuse to snub the fans who made you big stars. I plan to watch it, even though it falls on Mother’s Day (nice scheduling Fox, and where are the promos) and it should be a fun episode. I wonder if Kelly and Brandon still have a future…
20 years before User Friendly, Doctor Fun, and Dilbert, about the only place a geek could go for a fix of nerdy comic goodness was … Radio Shack. Tandy Computer Whiz Kids was a comic book series that was distributed for free at Radio Shack stores. It featured overeager kids stopping bad guys with their TRS-80s and acoustic modems, sweetly naive information about computers, and constant shilling of Radio Shack products. They’re now on the Web.
