I had NO idea you can install Thunderbird on an iPod.  I'll look into it. I
know I can forward the ones I want using another email account from the
iPod.

Thanks!

"Yes, despite all the ‘cloud this’ and ‘cloud that’ talk, when it comes down to 
it, Google still backs up everything on tape.

And thank god they do."

The minions at Google, despite any other failings, remain Very Smart People. 
They're not dumb enough to fall for the magical unicorn fart cloud hype; they 
know that 'the cloud' is just a fancy file server with http:// access.

I do wonder how many metric tons of tape they buy every year, tho, and how many 
of these they're buying:



(Current world champeen tape backup system...5 Tb per tape, uncompressed, you 
can buy a 1 exabyte backup library from them...1 million terabytes. This is the 
kind of thing that keeps Larry Ellison in Yachts and MIG's...)

I thought someone said you could do this same thing for free using  
Skype? I don't mean as a recording a file, but that with a live Skype  
connection you have an option to display your desktop live while you  
talk live, so you can demonstrate whatever you need interactively,  
which would seem best to me.

I swear Murphy is chuckling at me today.  I tried those forums last 
night and all I got was a page full of grody error messages, so I 
just figured they were dead.  Didn't even try 'em today!  sigh.  Just 
spent a few hours chasing down a file corruption that I thought was 
caused by Dropbox.  Finally the other guy tells me "oh, I did a save 
as right into the Dropbox folder, and selected...".  sigh.  I need a 
nap.

Hi Dan

Just tried it on my G5 dual2.0 with 10.5.8.

Thanks for making me aware of it.

Later I'll try it on my MacPro with Snow Leopard.

No idea re Lion (yet).

Free:

Jing  Also links to Facebook, Flickr, etc.
KRUT 

Some non-free ones:



Snapz Pro is one I've seen in use and is a very good piece of software.

As Dan said, get a dropbox account and put it up there.

Re: MDD problem

[Jörg Duurkoop]

Hi,

I just got another MDD 1.25 Ghz MDD with a dual processor. Can I put
the mainboard with the processors installed from the DP machine in my
single processor MDD 1.25? Should I press the CUDA before I swap the
boards? Anything else I should know before I do it? Is there a "how to
do" with pics like this one that shows the swapping procedure for the
PSU?

http://www.info.apple.com/nlnl/cip/pdf/n_g4mirror/fan_power_supply.pdf

I want to keep my old case as it looks like new, the DP Mac is not so
nice cosmetically and makes much more noise. Anything about the
firmware? Thanks for all hints. I want to be sure I won't botch this
job.

Best regards, Jörg.
