Every once in a while I find a cool toy I just have to try out. And while not only for the Macintosh, if your looking for a Media Center you wanted the MacMini to be, this is one device you are going to want to consider adding to your stack of toys.
Basically, SilverScreen is a 40 GB USB 2.0 hard disk in a very cool see-through plastic case (an 80 GB version is also available.) Yea, I know, big deal, who cares about another 40 GB external USB drive, especially at a cost of $249? Well, you just might!

Rather, this hard drive wants to stay attached to your TV and stereo system! That’s right, this is a hard disk that IS a media center. Measuring just 5.5 “ long, 3.5” wide, and about an inch high, everything you need to bring music, pictures, and videos to your TV from your computer is right there in that little box, and it is simple as can be.

NEMO: Hey, Guy, I’m confused about RAM for the newest series of Apple desktop, laptop, and tower computers, both G5 and G4. I know that the G5 towers need to have memory installed in matched pairs, but I’m not
really sure why. Can you please explain?
GUY: The answer to your question about matched pairs of RAM in G5 Towers is simple. There are so few Macs in relation to PCs that memory gets lonely and needs a pal to hang with. After all, one is the loneliest number that you ever knew. The G4s were a lot less picky about what type of memory you could plug in (those sluts).
