Not yet. I'll be picking up my copy tonight at the Apple Store in SoHo, since I wasn't one of those who pre-ordered and got theirs a day or two early. Though, I'll probably go see Hitchhiker's Guide later and install tomorrow. - -Steve ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 12:00:27 -0700 From: Tom Clark Subject: Re: Geek talk On Apr 29, 2005, at 11:22 AM, Eb wrote: > Any Mac users have Tiger installed yet? > I guess I don't need to answer that... btw, my christian friend in Nigeria is about to deposit $3,000,000 in my savings account.

A friend of mine -- perhaps the most long-standing HHGTTG fan it's possible to be -- described it in one word: "unnecessary". I think we have him on suicide watch now.

Picked it up at Fry's about 7:30PM for $99.99, took less than an hour to update my second HD to 10.3.9, repair permissions, and install 10.4. That $30.00 I saved will go for QuickTime 7 Pro. Safari and Mail are clearly faster, but that's about all I can report so far.

Torrent: 39284 Title: Robyn Hitchcock - WNYU - 1985-96 CORRECTED!!! Size: 144.81 MB Category: Brit Pop Uploaded by: gomonkeygo Description - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, after a too-long wait, there is the CORRECT upload of the Robyn Hitchcock at WNYU sessions. Sorry about the wretched mistake I made last time, which caused folks to download the 3/05 SXSW show that had recently been treed. I screwed up BIGTIME and I'm very sorry to everyone for that. This upload has two dates by Robyn at WNYU-FM: Robyn Hitchcock 6/21/85 WNYU-FM New York, NY 1-3 Interview/Talk Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians 10/31/86 WNYU-FM New York, NY 4 Ted Woody & Junior 5 Book of Love (Davis, Malone, Patrick) 6 Ugly Nora (intro only) They are individually labelled to make it easier for folks to separate them, use them as filler, etc. I don't have generation or lineage on them, I'm afraid. I do have a complete version (though very garbled and weird and possibly out of sequence) of the 1986 date. I also have up and going a show by Plasticland if folks are interested. it's here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=38837 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2005 13:08:13 -0400 From: wojizzle forizzle Subject: NEW on DIME: ROBYN HITCHCOCK 1985 & 1986 WNYU Radio Sessions (pre - FM master) http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=39562&hit=1 A new torrent has been uploaded to DIME.

The master tape had been spliced all over the place, probably so that DJs could use snipets of the program on air. After I digitized the audio I had to put the different pieces in logical order, which was no easy task. Still this is a high quality studio recording, not an FM broadcast, and probably contains bits that did not get broadcast live on the air.
