This week, they are showing Buffalo 66 at midnight. Due to Siani's working hours, I'm not going to watch it, but it's a good film with a cute Christina Ricci in it. Catch it if you can.

Whooohoo!

Bendy the accident damaged Sera passed the MOT. So, with new headlights, and a fresh MOT, he's ready to roll again. If we can get proper insurance, he'll be at next Whitby too. Perhaps by then I'll have replaced the bonnet, perhaps not. It's only cosmetic after all.

One down (two if I count getting the Beetle's ashtray replaced) - two to go. Scorpio needs the alternator replacing, Supra needs tax and tyres.

Yeay for Apple!

Mac Mini - 2 inches tall, 6.5 inches diagonal, 1.25 or 1.4GHz G4, from $499. Optional S-video/composite output. Combo or SuperDrive option, Airport, Bluetooth, all BTO of couse. Gutsy enough to run most Mac games as well as a PowerBook will (Radeon 9200 32Mb graphics), FireWire - combine with EyeTV Firewire tuner for a PVR perhaps?

This is the Mac most PC people in the Mac advocacy groups whined didn't exist - the cheap, headless eMac.

iPod Shuffle - Flash based, 512Mb/1Gb - $99 or $149. Looks like a very stylish, slim remote. Bigger than I expected. Not too expensive though.

AppleWorks is dead (after six years of stagnation, but what the hell, it works fine). iWork replaces it.

iLife '05 - updates, and HD capability for iMovie.
