RIP JJ. One of my favorites also.

No, actually it is 8:10

That sucks! I loved him in Crime Story.

Only to someone not from Chicago.

Yay for Steve and Susie! Stayed home and hung out with the Dish technician. When I got home on Sunday our Dish receiver was dead. The fourth one in under two years. Called Dish on Monday. Their initial solution was to replace it with receiver #5. I went all Ditka on their ass. We now have a Hopper and 3 Joeys and are paying $18 less per month. Yay Ditka!

Excellent!

I would have expected that post from Steve.

So par for the course?

Happy Birthday Birgir!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Yeah, I don't think they will have to worry about that with Tebow. Can you get arrested for trying to baptize someone?

Yeah, me too. That's what happens when you get older, lowered testosterone levels and all.

The Patriots may want to use him at tight end, Just Sayin'.

Belated Happy Birthday Greg!

Then I guess Steve will need a semi.

Yep I agree. When I bought my mini I went with the spinning disk because I did not consider the SSD price/performance ratio very good at the time. I didn't really need the performance and still do not. But now I agree with Dan since prices have come way down and my experience with SSDs, especially in my little Acer notebook, have been nothing short of astounding. My next mini will have an SSD OS drive if for no other reason than for future proofing.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Nate and that is a big stone!

Shhhhhhhh! Don't tell Brent.

My point exactly.

My Synology NAS with WD red HDs sits right behind me at my desk and is extremely quiet. Even at night when I am the only one up I cannot hear it even when I am not wearing headphones. I do not think I would use current generation SSDs in my NAS.

If you have a reliable network you can use airplay to play audio on other airplay compatible devices. This is what I really like about it. I have the Mac Mini in the living room system but can listen to that music in my home office (airport express), the family room (Marantz AV-7005), bedroom (ATV) or anywhere else on the local network (iPad, iPhone).

External thunderbolt or USB3 drive?

Maybe he just considers it a small price to pay for his happiness. No big deal I guess.
