It wouldn't exactly be shocking if the new screen drew more power and was therefore less friendly towards laptop USB ports. It would be surprising if an iMac of any generation didn't have sufficient power to charge it.

Anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced SDHC cards? I would like to pick up two for the D7000 and was just going to go with the usual Sandisk Extreme series but figured I'd ask first.

Hmmm this thread is now of great interest to me.

I think Comcast games the system with their initial burst speeds but I generally do get around 3MB/sec sustained speeds. It costs an arm and a leg though.

Happy Birthday Larry!

Lacuna Coil - Dark Adrenaline

Happy Birthday!

The power stayed on but it was a big storm that went rolling through. There were a few huge boomers the shook the entire house.

The weather outside right now: thunder and lightning. Yes, it's fucking mid-march. Oh joy, the power just flicked on and off....

Glad to hear that Andrew is feeling better Todd. Best of luck with the toof, Haj.

Metallica - Master of Puppets (DCC 24k Gold Remaster) I still enjoy the hell out of this album.

Not necessarily a new supplier but I just got an update from these folks - http://www.metcaseusa.com/enclosures/combimet19.htm - with several new offerings. Running their online quote/price tool seems to show pretty reasonable prices. Not sure what their quality would be like but I may call and see what the chances are of getting a sample.

Even with a brother that works for Fuji I doubt it'd be worth it unless you just have to have something 1/2 the size of a DSLR. I wonder, really, how much larger it'd feel than my D7000 w/ a 35mm prime on it, for $1,100 more. Oh and I'd have a pop up flash if I needed one. And be able to get it to focus.

$2000, holy hell.

Thanks guys and gals. He's pretty funny during the day, still moderately painful during the night although getting better at that. The weather is a bit frightening lately. I think it's supposed to be 60+ all week which is very un-March-like but the kids love it.

There appear to be some reasonably attractive refurbs in the Apple store right now. Any time you can get more than 15% off you're doing pretty well with Apple.

At some point I'd like to hear a modded 800 but I doubt that it'd get me to buy another pair of Senns. Sure, they're technically better than the Grados that I own but at this point I'm in it for the fun of the listen and the HF2's provide plenty of fun. Someday I'll get the stax rig back up and running and that should cover the accuracy portion of the equation. Dinny, Just enjoy the beautiful, beautiful music.

It cracked 60 again today.

Congrat, Tom.

Happy Birthday Fitz!!!

Bummer Haj. Me: took the wife skiing for the first time in 8 years. Now having a drink before picking up the kids.

Very cool, Marc.

Thanks Dan!

Agreed. While I'm sure the 3 will be nicer the 2 is more than enough for my needs. iPad 1 owners have got to be a little bummed though since the value of those has to have just fallen off a cliff.

[edit]Finally got something to load. It's effing impressive (and somewhat unbelievable) that they managed to keep the price the same. Holy shit.
