Have only installed and configured it, but did not yet have time to play with it. Some additional photos:

Some days I wish I was just an idiot. Completely ignorant, oblivious and down right stupid. Then the world would seem to be in equilibrium.

Everyone breathing knows about the Apple iPad. It is a cool tablet like computing device. It has some nifty uses and I enjoy using it for browsing the internet while sitting in the loo. Recently Apple released a new version called the iPad 2. It is faster, slimmer, has a camera and that is basically it. But because it is an Apple product, everyone is infected with "have-to-have-for-no-good-reason" sickness. So it is impossible to find one at any retail store.

Apple implemented a new facility this time whereby you can go to their online site and make a reservation. Every work day at 21:00 sharp they update their site for the specific store you choose, for the stock they received that evening. At 21:02 sharp all the stock is sold out. That is how insane people are.

So I would like to get one but for no good reason at all other than I want to. I therefore looked everywhere, but could not find one. To be expected. The release day people were queueing for 45 hours before launch, so I had zero chance of getting one. I am not that sad.

I have an Adaptec RAID 3805 controller with several SATA 7200rpm 1.5TB drives in RAID5. The volume is formatted with NTFS with default allocations, compression enabled under Windows 7 Professional x64. When I copied a 10GB file from my Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.7 via "cp -av" to the smb share, this is the graph that resulted. Can anyone explain why? There was no other load on the system or network, which is gigabit:

I had a small problem just now. In trying to convert email from Outlook 2011 on the Mac to mbox format, I used the brilliant eml2mbox Ruby script on the directory of files I created by dragging and dropping all email to the Finder, to convert them from eml format to mbox. I did this otherwise MailSteward imports them with a billion different mailbox names, as it uses the subject line as the mailbox.

I had several emails however that were sent from the iPhone, and their headers were wrong. Look at an example:
