good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

the manufacturer dropped the ball and the case+power for the server we
ordered on 12/8 has been delayed to 2/16! Yay! --t

PC->Mac transition? After finding out that Outlook is not supported
under Mac; I bought parallels and am installing XP to grab my outlook
mail archive (~1GB) from the original PC disk (the pc itself is
basically dead). Any suggestions on a relatively painless import to
entourage? The Mac Genius guy also reccomended an upgrade to 4GB and

Even though have 2 slots; the usb2.0 card makes it next to
impossible to plug both in at the same time. Any suggestions? Do
they sell longer cards? Should I consider an internal mini-pci wifi?
Thanks.

| 2005/8/23-24 [Computer/SW/Security] UID:39233 Activity:low | 8/23 Hi motd. I recently got a Dell Latitude D610 from work. There is a
"Hard Drive Password" feature in BIOS. After setting it, now every
time I boot it asks me for this before it loads the OS.
Does anyone know if this password is stored on the drive or on the
mobo? E.g., if the latter, I can just put the drive in an external
enclosure and access all files. Thanks. I suspect the latter.

doesn't seem to support the "encrypted virtual disk" feature like
on the PGP desktop versions. I'm wondering if that's even possible
under PalmOS. I have files on my PC that I dump into the PGP disk.
I want to take that PGP disk (just a file actually) and view it
on a Palm PDA. Is that possible? http://pgp.com discontinued their pgp

Also, does this pave the groundwork for porting OS X to all PC
machines?
\_ You know, you guys are trying to find good technical reasons
for the move. I think it's actually simpler than that. Economics.
IBM can't produce their chips cheaper than Intel, which we all
