well said bmcclure (voted up your comment)

What about buying a Palm Pre w/out a contract? What kind of price would I be looking at paying? - What should I aim for?

I have a sprint mogul and one of the things I've been wondering about is being able to sync my google docs documents with my cell phone (I only do it with word and excel files on my computer). But if Microsoft has office online, then I could just use that and (I assume) sync w/ my Windows Mobile PDA easier. I would prefer to use Google documents though since I have my gmail up all day.

My Mogul is a piece of crap and I'll be moving to a Palm Pre or the new Blackberry Tour soon so perhaps it will be easier with that.

wow, well done. Ghostbusters II was my big movie that year and I didn't care much for Batman at the time. I saw it and liked it but really didn't like it until I got it on tape and watched it so many times. IMO, that's the best one.

something business related

this phone just arrived for me today, but when I run the software update from the phone, it's not saying there's a new update out there. Yet the phone's software's 10.something and it's from before this date

I'm in

Hope not much. I'm waiting on my N85 to arrive which I ordered earlier in the week from Dell for $319 before tax:http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?p=17162481#post17162481

I had a question on something I wanted to do. I have a bunch of files on a Western Digital External hard drive and I wanted to gradually pull them onto my laptop. It's annoying to plug in, connect, etc on my laptop so what I wanted to do was leave my Western Digital External Hard drive connected to my Mac Mini (which will always stay on - unless there's a way to do this with keeping the Mac Mini in sleep mode and waking it up somehow remotely when needed) and then just log into the machine and pull the files off the connected volume.

The thing is I would like to have the Mac Mini not have access to the this external firewire western digital hard drive that it's connected to because that's the family computer (I don't want anyone accidentally erasing anything). But by keeping this external hard drive always connected to the mac mini, I know that I have the freedom to pull the files I want whenever I feel like it.

any thoughts?

Interesting - I posted that last comment and the link that was generated to my comment directly was this one:

However, the real link should be http://www.tuaw.com/2009/01/28/mac-101-7-tips-for-data-privacy-day-2009/1#c16815164

Something's wrong with the way direct links to comments are generated?
