Holiday Buyers' Guide 2006, Part 5: The Mobile Stuff

Nice things in general, but my basic rule is any external hdd enclosure, I buy seperate and build myself. Pre-made ones are usually way overpriced.

That last 6 in 1 key thing seems very nice though. Would have been perfect for my boy scout days, but it can also work for my college days now... heh...

Barry,

I've noticed the Mac Mini was shown on the top banner of each of the articles and yet did not see it anywhere. Surely you guys aren't trying to mislead people with graphics that don't pertain to the content?!

I mean, I could care less if it wasn't reviewed on the entire TG site, but the fact it was shown in the main image representing the article serie is rather misleading. Frankly I am surprised no Apple rep has given you a "no no no!" warning.

No offense or anything, really. Just I'd expect more out of the editors than using others' commercial property if not intended to be discussed or presented in the article itself.

Anyone know how does Perfect Disk compare to Diskkeeper in keep the disk defragged and optimized?

I've been using diskkeeper 9 for years and its kept my machines speedy. But since there are new versions out now and I've got new computers coming in to be built I want to know if anything is better for keeping them setup.

No, I'm not married! And I've been in Virginia, and now, Los Angeles.

Oh, come on now, I never said ANY of that... you took it WAY too far.

Never been to E3, so I googled Asia Carrera, who is a porn star it seems. Tom's Elf (Sarah) gets WAY more brownie points for having what appears to be a normal job and is also gorgeous. Who ever said a great looking woman with stability isn't sexy?

And geek? Who (on this forum) dares to call another forum poster a geek?

And to SarahTGP, CONGRATS on being a Southern girl !! I remain in the south, nothing so glamorous as LA living, but the people are nice and traffic is light.

I though Tom's was in Germany or something, do they have offices all over or what?

Actually LIVING in LA has its drawbacks for sure... you forgot to mention property prices. But the IDEA of living in LA invites the notion of a glamorous life full of excitement and parties and wonderful celebrities nudging up to normal people on the street, oh so romantic and beautiful!!!

Except there are about 14 million people in Southern California that aren't celebrities and can't much afford to live there

I personally loved California the few times I've been out there... somewhat due to its proximity to Tijuana, but college was here and my friends are here, and that all too important JOB at Wal-Mart (cushy corporate, I swear) are here.

Once those stock options kick in, who knows ?

Who read the article? I just looked at the pictures of the nice looking young lady............I espicially liked the picture of her holding that massive hard drive.

Thanks guys!
