My local Radio Shack has a pretty good line of Arduino and other "maker" items, including kits from Maker.

I don't know if that is a factor of being so close to Maker or what.

It beat going all the way to Fry's to get something, and unfortunately the 2 Fry's out here in Sacramento are usually bad about stocking the component isle lately. Not like the one in Santa Clara.

Ironically, the Fry's nearest me is an old Incredible Universe location...

I am telling you, DDT is perfectly safe...

Your life sucks. I am running MacOS + Win7 in Parallels and I am using all my memory, but it does not make it any slower.

5 of that is used by the VM, so normally I have plenty of memory available.

Too. Fucking. Bad.

Soo....

99% percent of everything is crap?

Master of Orion!

Parallels works great for me.

I work for IBM, and Mac Airbooks are the #1 choice for those of us who get to pick our hardware, although the Samsung 9 is gaining popularity too. I run the client image under parallels and while there are some focus problems, it is worth putting up with it.

Why? I can carry one very light laptop for personal and business use. Turn the VM off, and all the IBM "security" ware is disabled.

The battery life is a little worse than other IBMers get running the native WIN7 image or MacOS + IBM client software.Running the MacOS version of Lotus Notes sucks power just as fast as any other version, emulated just adds a little more. Running Win7 sucks even more.

Most Win7 users immediate switch to MacOS+Parallels once they see how well it works. For most the only reason they need Win7 is for spreadsheet support. Mac "native" version of Excel has some serious problems with Macro support and large numbers of rows.

Not sure about Linux, have yet to meet anyone running Linux on the MacAir yet, and IBM supports all the major distros as a desktop client.

Wasn't funny.

The California DMV has them beat, they are still using code installed on UNISYS mainframes in 1970 to run the DMV core applications.

It is as old as I am...

We are going to need a bigger boat.

a bigger boat.

This drought cycle maps almost exactly to the 76 to 78 drought followed by one of the wettest years in history. Wet pattern continues until 82-83.

Gen ed courses, usually the first 2 years of any 4 year degree

That would make an awesome flight sim setup....
