  1. On a completely separate subject (didn't know which other topic to put it in so thought here would do) - how long has Bono been using teleprompter/autocue??

    I was watching the BA Vertigo DVD last night and it's clearly visible. At first I thought it was just for his speeches and the Argentinian he attempts, but then noticed it scrolling lyrics during One. WOWY and OOTS at the very least. Also noticed him looking at it quite a lot.

    I understand it's better than forgetting lyrics but he never used to use one that I can see (Paris DVD for example) and doesn't it cut down on improvisation and 'feel' in the song (esp songs like WOWY - I compared the performance with Paris immediately after and the difference was staggering!!).

    Any comments for me on this one?

    Edit: So, anyway, I started a separate topic about it......

    Bloody hell, it's quiet on here today. You all got exams or something?

    Yes, very happy with Tiger and only swayed by the pretty bits of Leopard + Time Machine. So will leave it as inevitably I will upgrade the laptop in the next couple years anyway (not having a SuperDrive is killing me).

    I'm very happy with the mac as you knwo and if you run Parallels then jobs a good 'un.


    Prety bits always sway me. Seriously, Parallels is a great program. I think Nate might run it too (easports) because he was telling me he uses his Mac for gaming in Vista. Or he just runs Boot Camp.

    Yeah, I remember Nate saying he ran Windows too for games. Parallels makes a bit more sense I guess 'cos then you don't need to re-boot. But Boot Camp is free......

    Mac excel at pretty bits, they've always swayed me. Just can't justify the £125 for a family-licence at present, especially given it will be on there if I buy new at some stage.

    I use boot camp. It's worth re-booting, considering parallels doesn't perform as well as boot camp. Plus, as you said, it's free.

    Have you got Leopard then or did you download the Beta of Boot Camp?

    PS Hi by the way

    Hi Dan I have the beta of boot camp. I don't know when we'll upgrade to Leopard. My dad's been looking at that for his iMac as well as my laptop. The real appealing feature of Leopard is the time machine. Have you seen that?

    I have. It looks shit-hot. Best new feature I think. I find back-up and so on a real drag. You do need an external hard-drive of course, but most of us have those. With laptops I guess it waits until you connect to the backup.

    I think if you use them for work (like Jeremy) then Spaces is quite cool too. Rest seems fairly cosmetic from what I can tell.

    I agree with everything you said. I use a WD mybook as my external drive. It's a nice, reliable drive. My dad has a great Lacie, is one of the coolest looking drives I've ever seen.

    My dad's got about 450GB between his iMac and Lacie. That's with about 100,000 photos on it. And he still has 36GB of free space on his iMac!
