Hi guys -- I found this via Dealram, and it looks suspiciously cheap to me. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?
(Also, it says "for 1.8Ghz models" -- mine's a dual 2Ghz, is that going to matter?)
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

All is well that ends in pizza.
That is very cheap.
Like $50-$90 cheaper than other sites.
What kind of system do you have?

Yeah, which is why I'm suspicious, especially since it's not listed as a promotional/clearance price. I've got a dual 2Ghz PowerMac G5 (not Intel, about a year old). The RAM that came with it is PC3200.
I think I'll play it safe and just order from OWC.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Without TiVo To Go, my lack of caring is remarkably large. Why does TiVo refuse to get that?

There are rumours that To Go is in development, and this makes me a little less skeptical.
Unless they're buying me off...

I've been spoiled by Myth. There's nothing that can't be done remotely from another computer and all the video is just regular MPEG.

Can Myth control a DishNetwork satellite receiver?

There some info here:
You have to buy or build an IR blaster to do the channel changing. I have no first hand experience with doing this however.
