Mac Elite, iomatic, is looking for an iPhone hiking application that would be able to provide proper navigation in generally uncharted areas. A deal on a 2TB AcomData external hard drive is the topic of conversation in this thread. Advice on where to find a new Ethernet card for a Power Mac G3 can be found here.

2 Things
First, its a Dell fer gawd's sake. Second, it runs Windows. W-I-N-D-O-W-S! Might as well compare sofa slippers to an aardvark.
Leave Poor Dell Alone
Poor Dell has been beaten up all week. The Dell Mini 9 won't be winning any awards in the netbook world.
I am not sure it compares in any way to the MacBook Air, except that they are both smaller versions of their respective brands.
Maybe a discussion on how they don't compare would be interesting.
Dell is "in it to win it", and plans to make deals with a telco to produce mobile internet devices.
Dell should work on the basics first, including customer service.
