I was listening to a podcast on the way home (Macbreak Weekly) and they were discussing the update so when I got home I just clicked on the Apple menu, selected software update and it took care of both of them. I launched iTunes and didn't notice anything different. I did, however, find it disappointing that the power management options that used to exist are still missing from Snow Leopard. I don't seem to get anywhere near the battery life that I used to out of my Macbook.

It was the full bundle of both the OS and iTunes, it started out showing iTunes as the only download but obviously there was more. It's installed now without apparent issue.

Perhaps old news already but there's a rather large OS update (as of yesterday I hear) that fixes a bunch of security flaws. I started downloading it today and also found that there's a 500+MB iTunes update as well. Those expecting iPads probably want to make sure their machines are up to date prior to Saturday.

Which puts us at roughly Saturday when it's supposed to be sunny and 70, you know, like typical early April in the North East. This all gets a big WTF from me.

I work where it says "PSM" on the map and live about 20 miles to the southwest, right smack dab in the 4" to 8" of rain in the last week zone. According to one source NH has gotten 11-1/2" of rain so far this year.

Yup - Worldport (UPS air hub) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yup, everything's 5x5 now.

From what I'm hearing just about every order is being routed through Kentucky, even West Coast shipments.

Just an FYI - neither of those links works for me, Kevin.

I had an idea for the chicklet, I think it would be cool if it was made to look like the original T2 faceplate.

Yup, it's been raining hard all day here and the sump pump has been kicking on and off pretty regularly. The rain is supposed to taper off this evening with flood waters peaking tonight and receding tomorrow.

I'm in somewhat the same boat Marc, in that I want the bandsaw to be able to handle both wood and metal. But what I keep reading about the metal side of things is that you really need to pay attention to clamping when cutting metal and vertical bandsaws don't do that particularly well.

Submit your documentation from the manufacturer to Paypal and if you think it's warranted escalate the claim.

I got nothing. But if I was going to put a logo on a labor of love like that I wouldn't put a smiley face. I'd think a simple T2 in some interesting font in raised letters would be much more appropriate.

I think the T2 deserves a lot better.

Nice saw! Which Powermatic do you think would have offered more for the same price? I'm going to try and go look at an older Jet this week, it's one town over and I think is part of their metalworking line as well.

He'll only ask for a free amp in return.

Steve, I was looking at a setup like the one you bought recently since my cordless is down to own good battery. It's hard to fault it, having lasted 6 years or so and through countless projects. Still it's always frustrating to look and find that buying an entire new drill with two batteries costs slightly more than buying one replacement battery.

Ok, so it sounds like this is an issue different from what I experienced. Since they are hissing even without a source attached that pretty much just leaves the speakers themselves or environmental interference. If it's at all possible I'd try setting them up in a different location, if you're curious. I also had to use an isolated power supply in my setup to avoid hum, but that doesn't seem to be the pervasive issue for you right now. I'm hopeful that Laine will take care of you, given the amount of business that's been thrown his way lately by this site.

Shelly, how high do you have the internal amp set? I run mine way down, like probably around 30 to 50% of max. If you're running them at max I wouldn't be at all surprised if you have noise nearfield. If I remember right there is a detent at 50% that will allow you to easily match the volume between the two at that level, you might try that if you're currently running them wide open.

Thanks Dinny (and others). I'm avoiding the heavy meds so far, Advil seems to be doing the trick just fine.

I have one, shoot me a PM if you want it.

Oy! Happy Birthday, Doug!

When I got my cases I just left them open for a few weeks before storing anything in them, that seemed to be enough time.

Not that you wouldn't think of this Kevin but are you guys able to get some additional power to the rig rooms in Chicago? There were some issues with this in LA in the high-end room in particular and with you drawing a steady 1.25A+ and tossing out that much heat you might need your own room for thermal and power reasons.
