  • Tecra sold, MacBook ordered

    So, the Tecra went for too little (1220 including docking station), but enough to get a Core 2 Duo 2 GHz, 1 GB, 80 GB, SuperDrive white MacBook.

    Next: Apple wireless keyboard, sell the Squeezebox (although it's great, it isn't really needed when I only have one room) and get a TFT for the money. New mouse maybe next month. The old Dual Optical can't retire just yet. Still works flawlessly and the shape fits me nicely. Until Logitech releases a bluetooth version with OSX drivers of the revolution line (or works with SteerMouse).

    Oh, and I need to wipe my data off the Tecra's NTFS drive, without wiping OS and Apps. Anybody have a clue?

      Have fun reinstalling Windows. Mine was INFESTED with Nagware and other useless crap. EIGHTY processes running idle, and about twenty systray icons.

      What did you buy?

      Oh, I forgot, I'll get a DVB-T USB TV tuner ASICA (as soon as I can afford).

                Thank you, Nowhere

                I have since decided to just wipe the whole disk with http://dban.sourceforge.net/ and just reinstall from the recovery discs.
