Remember a while back when I talked about how playing copy-protected CD's in a computer could cause it to crash and you have to reboot? Well in the new iMacs, it really does crash, literaly. Once you put the CD in one of those new iMacs, you can't eject it and you also cant' reboot your computer. The only solution is to send it back to Apple to fix. That's pretty harsh punishment for trying to listen to something you bought legally. It's so nice when you're treated like a criminal for trying to listen to music.

Want to know the weather conditions in space? SpaceWeather.com knows. It has solar wind readings, sunspot reports, aurora warnings, and near-earth astroid alerts. Very cool stuff indeed, and yet another example of something that is only possible through the internet.

It's Star Wars week at Foxtrot this week. I loved their Episode I and Lord of the Rings comics, so this should be a great week for reading Foxtrot.

3 more days.....
