But the Apple Store on online appears to be closed temporally. Looks like a bargain starting at $699 for 2.4ghz processor and 4 gigs of RAM. Ram expandable to 8 gigs. Easy access to ram, bottom just twists off for access.

Sliced open from behind my ear down my neck 3/4 around my neck. For those of you following the GCMAC listserv you already know I have been battling Squamous Cell Carcinoma discovered in a golf ball sized swollen lymph node on my neck. 
The ENT doctor didn’t tell me it was major surgery, rather a biopsy “dissection”. Unless they couldn’t determine with local biopsies, then he would remove the swollen one. Once I awoke from surgery he told me that he removed the swollen one and 41 others on the the right side of my neck.
• Seems like this is one of those “curable Cancers” with a 90% success rates. It’s still the worst pain I have ever experienced, with daily radiation treatments for the last four weeks. It was all I could do to take a ride to the hospital each day, get a treatment, then home and collapse into bed.
• My darling children and my ex-wife have been providing some care, but I wasn’t doing to well living on my own, most of the time. Got so dehydrated then delirious, I am back in the hospital getting continuous fluids as of last Thursday, anti-nausea medicine, with four more radiation treatments to go.
• Not the best weight loss regimen I’d recommend, but I’ve shed 90 pounds since leaving Florida last May – good riddance. My life style is changing, and I’m determined to dance with at my Granddaughter Leah’s wedding!

Hey Marian,
Pocket Mac is a horrible application, and I believe the Curve is not supported. Have him/her try Missing Sync for Blackberry. They just came out with a new v2.0 for the Blackberry platform. It’s going to
cost $40, but it is well worth it.

Dear BlackBerry users,
A co-worker has a Blackberry Curve that she would like to sync with her iMac running OX 10.4.11. She says she downloaded the Pocket Mac software, but her Mac will not see the BlackBerry at all. Not sure if she also installed the updated drivers or not. Or if she needs to. Any suggestions on how to solve this? Buying an iPhone is not an option. 
Thanks much!
Marian Wertalka

From Macfixit this is a great article
Archive and Install
It’s amazing how much controversy was generated by our recommendation that users perform an Archive and Install when upgrading from Mac OS X 10.4.x to Mac OS X 10.5.x, with pundits claiming that the process represents a wholly unnecessary waste of time. This despite the fact that hundreds if not thousands of who used the default “Upgrade” path experienced problems that could have been obviated by the generally painless and relatively quick Archive and Install process, which we initially recommended and Apple later proposed itself in a Knowledge Base article.

I’ve seen people griping about different shortcomings of the new iPhone. Mostly though, people seem to be loving them.
What’s my pet peeve? You cannot manually add songs as you choose, directly to the iPhone! You can add playlists, but not by drag & drop. Oh no, you have to select which playlists to add to the phone. So if you just want to add 1 song, it MUST BE IN A PLAYLIST! This is a really stupid programming oversight. You’d think with the success of the iPOD, Apple would know to make the interface consistent with the iPod. You also have to perform “Sync” in order to add the song. I didn’t really buy an iPhone to use as a music player. I bought it for other features, and so far I am pretty happy with the decision.
