MSI Wind U100B @279.99$

Pretty neat deal for Canadians if you're looking for a Hackintosh-able netbook. I just picked one up to see if it can replace my MacBook for on-the-go duties.

So far, I really like the keyboard, probably the best of all the netbooks I've tried. Screen is great, though the resolution is small-ish (1024x600). Windows XP runs very smooth, same for Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I'll try to install OS X later today. I've yet to decide what will be the permanent OS, I was thinking Arch Linux with a lightweight WM like OpenBox, but I'm not sure if I want to put all the time needed to configure it.

Happened to run across this and bought 4 rolls. Probably the best hook-up wire that I've used, much better than most of the fanboy stuff that people recommend on HF (ahem, cough, Navships). It is Teflon SPC and rated to 600V/200C, so good up to 1.2kV or so differential between a pair.

Compare to prices at Allied:

Allied Electronics - Catalog

Anyways, here are the listings for 22 awg and 18 awg, which are the two common sizes I use:

Belden Hookup Wire Teflon, Silver Coated 22 AWG, 83006 - eBay (item 220381966211 end time Sep-17-09 10:46:44 PDT)

Belden Hookup Wire, Teflon, Silver Coated, 18AWG, 83009 - eBay (item 220388181979 end time Aug-28-09 20:03:46 PDT)

They will combine shipping and ship overseas as well.

You rate the 18ga favourably? I only buy 22 & 24 gauge by the thousand, but having a few more colors for 18ga could be useful.

I dunno, I'm using 14ga twice (bi-amped) for my Maggies. Put four of the 18ga together to make some 12ga speaker cables. :D
