Ru-oh. What opens Wordperfect files from 1995 (on a Mac Pro, running Leopard)?

Answer: AbiWord 2.45. Whoo hooo!
Gotta redo it because the camera moved when I was trying to get the shots (as you can see from the notes)
Replaced a Mac Mini as a dedicated media center, iTunes and iPhoto library, video editing and converting as well as a non-stop downloading beast.

Bunny and I were mucking around and decided to check out what the most asssspensiffff possible configuration for the new mac pro was. We were quite tickled at the final amount - really wasn't as much as I'd guessed it was going to be.
Ah well. All this imaginary money. Going to crazy computers like that (half the things I added on to my imaginary mac pro I have no idea what to do with) and to my equally imaginary incredible range of lenses.

There wasn't enough light to stay at ISO200 and still keep the shutter at 1/1000s so I had to bump ISO to 3200. D700 really showed its prowess in these conditions. In the end everyone was happy - the rider, the jumping machine, the trainer, and the photographer.

Note: the mac mini that usually goes in that blank spot up front below the optical bay has been removed to help with heat. It also allows more hard drives.

Well, this is funny, isn't it? My main external monitor on my MBP had the full screen of that picture I took on the whole screen. This monitor takes up to four DVI inputs. Instead of scrunching it, it, just wrote over the left side. I guess that's okay, let's see what it does when I set the background to the same thing on the right.
One ugliness is that the menu bar does not stretch across monitors. This is going to suck when the monitor is actually split in four.
La iSight que practicamente volvio multimedial mi Mac Pro, pues como sabran los Mac Pro no tiene microfono ni camara integreada y la iSight ya desaparecio, aun asi, me encanta. Tiene un accesorio Belkin que le da soporte magnetico y luz :)
HD DVD H.264 10.3Mbps compression testing. Test completed in 0:04:05 on 720p/24 clip of duration 0:01:27. H.264 is a very processor intensive codec... love it... anything to feed the beast. Octopussy loves codecs. Compressor 3 is very optimized for multi-processors... this test was using up 99.9% of total processing power before I ran the screen capture.

Because sometimes, in between ones legs, there can be a kind of funny feeling. And that can be messy.

installing a third internal hard drive on a Mac Pro was the simplest procedure I've ever encountered in my 25 years of working with computers. About 5 minutes from start to finish.
Step3 identify which hard drive bracket to remove. I was adding a third drive, so door number three was the appropriate one.
