Thanks zen.
In the meantime how does one go about getting the PPC up and running again? or even diagnosing the problem?
Is it a fried HD?
As I bought the PPC with OSX already installed but no discs I guess I'll need to get a copy of Tiger and a HD to load it onto. Which version of the OSX do I need? On eBay there are retail discs and install discs.
Oh and can I install it onto a Sata drive connected to one of the cards?

This is not at all strange to anyone who knows the basic business model of TJ Maxx. They buy odd overstock lots of goods, mostly clothes, so they can sell them at a deep discount.
With the rollout of the iPad to numerous new retailers, there were, by extension, numerous opportunities for someone to get overstock. Perhaps Verizon mis-estimated the popularity of the iPad bundled with the My-Fi. Perhaps Target guessed that people would prefer the 16 GB version when in fact the 32 and 64 were more popular. Perhaps someone simply needed to reduce orders to solve a cash flow problem.
In any case, once this happened, TJ Maxx did what they exist to do - stepped in and offered to buy the overstock at a discount so they could sell up. There's no controversy or mystery here - it's just that TJ Maxx managed to land a particularly good lot of stock.
(To clarify, I suspect that whatever retailer sold their stock to TJ Maxx did so at a loss. Did this violate their agreement with Apple? I'd be surprised if it did - there's surely a clause in most of the MAP contracts to deal with clearance/closeout pricing. Indeed, Amazon routinely undersells MAP - the only rule is they can't advertise those prices, so they require you to put the item in the cart to view the price. I assume that whatever retailer sold off their stock did not advertise, and instead contacted TJ Maxx, who I imagine they're used to doing business with, and came to an agreement to liquidate inventory.)
I agree with everything said here, except, I don't think it was big chain store with a continuing relationship with Apple. A company that wants to continue being an Apple Authorized Reseller wouldn't risk being cut off just to unload some overstocked iPads.
I'll bet it came from a bankrupt small or medium sized chain of stores. Perhaps a chain that only carried Apple stuff as a side line. In anycase, somebody who doesn't care if they p*ss off Apple, and get black-balled.

Running geektool. Most of the desktops you see are running it to display computer information, weather, music, etc.
I'm also using a black dock with the icons.

I thought you had gotten rid of the dock but kept the apps and whatnot and just had a black strip(geektool pic probably). Didn't realize that the dock just blended in with the black strip.

iPhone - i think we maybe put to much pressure for them to announce it today... i mean it still needs to be accepted by FCA and its not coming out in england until Q4! I was so excited to buy one today! and its not as if i can even buy one form the usa and unlock it because of its integration with the cingular network...god im annoyed and upset
edit: also i would say the price for hem is fair as ive never seen such truely amazing technology, i.e multitouchscreens for that price range. and storage level is great for a phone..replaces me nano and moto pebl as soon as it gets to the uk...IN LIKE A BILLION YEARS. i waited long enough for it to be announced and i saved up my money, and u just tease me apple!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E3 Xeons are basically for entry level workstations and servers. You will likely see their consumer versions in the new iMacs - Core i5/i7 2000 processors.

Hey All!
Lately ive been looking for a download of the album, pocketwatch as i don't particularly feel like spending thousands of dollars for an original copy. Do any of you know anywhere i can find a download that works, a lot of the ones i've tried to use don't work at all. Or if any of you have a copy please could you upload it or send it to me? (not the original of course!)
Thank you in advance :) of someone could help me i would be the most grateful person ever! :D

I want a device the size of an ipod that I can check my mail on, chat, and do some web-surfing for info, all without the ridiculous GUI deformities of windows mobile and treo, etc. and simple, easy to use hardware to back it up. I want to take it out of my pocket, see what I want, then put it away. Seamless integration with my macs as well.
Maybe I'm in a nitch, but I don't see how this could lose. Make it simple, powerful, and seamless and people will ditch the baffling ordeal of their ipaq-esque phones in a heatbeat.
I'm in the same boat. There are enough of us to sell a ton of those phones. Bring it on !

I don't think there ever was a ppc 602 processor... at least in a mac. Am I wrong? 601, 603e and 604 (SWEET!).
As I recall, the 602 was an embedded applications processor like the 40x line.

anybody have a suggestion for a good, free spyware detection program for os x 10.3?
thanks.
richie
I think OS X 10.3 *is* a good, free spyware prevention program. :p
Do you really think you have spyware? Or ummm, do you want your Mac to wear a hazmat suit and go hunting for spyware on your PC? :o
thanks.

Hello
I tried flashing a 5770 via usb dos boot, message was fine. but on reboot, black screen.
So I flashed back with the original rom using an nvidia gfx to boot in - still black screen
this is what i used - atiflash -fa -fm -fs -fp -p 0 original.rom
Any suggestions on getting my card back or is it bricked?

In the UK, you are contracted to the retailer you bought it from. They are responsible for the product for six years. We have good laws in place to protect the consumer. I find it hard to understand why people never use their rights under laws such as the Sales of Goods Act.
A warranty is an insurance policy. Apple Care in the UK is not a policy from Apple, but a third party insurance company that they are contracted with. Can't remember the name of the company.
Apple are pretty good at repairing out of guarantee/Apple Care products, even when these times have lapsed. Had a power supply and logic board in my 4 year old iMac replaced for free. Sales of Goods Act is your best friend. :)
Whilst I always love to see people using the Sale of Goods Act to get what they deserve, can I make one small correction to avoid confusion?
The SOGA can offer protection for up to 6 years, but not automatically. The goods should be of "satisfactory quality" and this does not mean everything should last 6 years. The question the judge asks is- how long would the 'reasonable man' expect this item to last? For an iPad easily 2 years (Apple offer Applecare that long) maybe 3 if you are lucky. I don't think an iPad should be expected to last 6 years though.
Remember almost everything you buy is subject to SOGA, and I can't ask my local stationers to replace my black biro after 5 years if it stops working!

Nvm. figured out how to JB. However, once I got loader on there, i was unable to get it to download Cydia. It said I had no disc space, but I had just restored, so the iPod was empty. Hmm..

How do I get the cool weather widgets like that?
New to Apple Computers! On my first one now and wanna do a little bit of customizing it! I just bought it Saturday!
He did it with an app called geektool. It takes a little know how to do, but there are plenty of dummy proof guides on youtube.
I used to use geektool until I got a few Kernal panics and I noticed my mac taking a performance hit from it. Be careful when your messing with system tweaks!

I get the above message a lot now when on a website, mostly when I try to refresh hotmail.
It is annoying because it always ends up being that one website that stops working for a minute or so, and other websites work, so I know it isnt a problem with the wifi connection.
Anyone else experiencing this?
