    w220 S320 CDI Dodgy 3-4 Gear Change

    Hi Malcolm Thanks for that, maybe he's worrying unnecessarily and it's just the winter that's doing it, he's had the fluid changed about 3 weeks ago so that's not it and I've just taken her for a decent run, both flooring it and normal driving, held on a little when normal but worked a charm...

    Hi All Posting this on behalf of my Bro-in-Law. He has a 2002 w220 S320 cdi his 3rd to 4th gearchange has been getting progressively worse, the car seems to hold on to 3rd way to long and then snatches at 4th, I explained I had a similar problem at similar mileage to him (but it was 1st to 2nd...

    Apple TV - Yes or No?

    Yeah most of my clients I've installed a mini in the boardroom hooked to a 40" lcd, very handy and even more fun with salling clicker installed, sometimes you'll need displayconfigX to get the correct rez on the older G4 models but works a treat.

    Apple TV - Yes or No?

    Is saying all of that Spinal the original black brick was HUUUUUUGEEEEEEE and weighed a ton, the apple TV is the size of an ashtray and easily stuck to the back of your LCD.

    Apple TV - Yes or No?

    You have to *cough* hack it *cough* to play divx, avi, xvid etc, these hacks are easily downloaded. No full HD playback yet (then again wirelessly streaming full HD would be a nightmare without .n).

    Microsoft Office - Multiple licenses

    Yep open office all the way, although not sure if it's compatible with Office 2007 and the xml format, personally the company I used to work for had a licencing deal and we got it for €19 per seat but I recently bought 6 copies for a client and they were all full priced unfortunately.

    New Desktop Computer Advise Needed.

    Have you considered a mac? iMovieHD is simple as bejayziz to use, Final Cut Pro is very very complex, After Effects and Premier have been re-released. If you have PC centric apps, just install vmware fusion and run your windows apps just like they were OS X apps. You can pick up a 24" imac for...

    CAt 5e Cable

    Well in today's world of multi gb AVI files, streaming music/videos around the house I'd leave the cat5 as is for gigabit speeds. Digital cordless is the way to go, one in each room, and a couple of spare slots on the base station.

    USB Raid

    Spinal I'm topping out at 2gb a min over gigabit using an LTO3 Tape drive (SCSI Atto UL3d card) on a G4 (server is xserve/xraid/fibre) and Retrospect (awful program), I back up a couple of tb's of data at the weekend and then alternate the days with file modification dates that have changed in...

    OSX Leopard today!

    There's always been problems upgrading to a new OS. One word of warning though Adobe even hasn't had the time to fully test leopard so I wouldn't install it on a production environment machine, pop a second HD into your mac and install it on that, play around, wait for a couple of months to see...

    Mac mini and Sony LCD TV.

    Do me a favour, install your OS onto the mac mini then clone it onto the external HD (firewire or usb 2) you'll find the system a helluva lot more responsive, newer models are good enough for HD playback. Mini's biggest drawback is the slow HD they put in them.
