Sure - works like a champ. I am on vacation with the iBook and doing
Velocity work with it.  I have had no problems with any action.

Yes, I am pining for that.  I assume you just grabbed sources and built?

Hm.  I need to find that.

Really?  I have been really wishing for this.  Where can I find it?

One thing I bought and found extremely worth it is a powersupply from
Madsonline (http://www.madsonline.com/).  It is really small compared to
that flying saucer thing, so it's great to travel with.

Yes.  I have it.  I just found it - looks good.  I downloaded the usual API
docs from sun, so I keep those local as well.

Thanks.  I'll find that.

I don't mind paying if good.  Wasn't there another called 'taxi' or 'cab' or
something?

I did set that up.  Seems pretty cool.  I used it a bit before I left (I
only had the box less than a week before I left, and there is no bndwth
here...

Must be something on my side :(

Yep. Worked a charm. Was a bit painful to set it up for my user to use
bash by default. But eventually I got it sorted. Also takes a bit of pain
to get access to the root user.

Ah, comes with the developers CD which you don't get if you order direct
from Apple (what is with that?). A friend of mine burnt me a copy, I can
possibly get a .dmg file online for you.

Open up IE. Click on the OS X link. Bottom right hand corner talks about
programs. I think there's a tab for this section too. Anyway, tons of
stuff on there, look at the Dock section.

Definitely sounds interesting. Carrying that thing around is a pain.

Alternative browsers, Mozilla and Opera both fail to be as good as they
are on linux. Omniweb is a nice one. 30 dollars or so, but is very highly
rated. www.omnigroup.com

You can also get a xxxx@mac.com email address from apple for free, plus a
chunk of disk space. They've made this really easy for the consumer user,
so might be worth getting it setup. They call it iDisk and iTools.
