Yay, happy birthday! It's been a great pleasure to be a part of TMO. You folks rock!

RE: Apple Made Plans to Switch to Intel Before Jobs Returned
What about Apple's [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_project]Star Trek project[/url]? From what I've read, there was internal demos of OSes before System 7 running on PCs with the 486 chip.

RE: TMO iOS 5 Upgrade Guide
Same thing happened to me electricscott. I had to right click my iphone in iTunes and select restore from backup (the backup I made just before upgrading). That did seem to put back all my music, apps, and data.

RE: TMO iOS 5 Upgrade Guide
I'm currently on 4.3. Should I upgrade to 4.3.5 before upgrading to 5 or is it not necissary? Normally I'm behind the curve by at least a few months. This will be the first time I'm actually upgrading right away. So, thanks for the upgrade guide! You folks always have the most comprehensive one.

RE: OWC Announces eSATA ExpressCard Adapter for MacBook Pro
If the eBay deal is tempting you, be sure to contact the seller to confirm it's compatible with your machine. It looks to be a CardBus, and I think MacBook Pros support the ExpressCard format only.

RE: Adobe Bringing Audition to the Mac
Last time I used Audition was in 2006. I really liked it. The interface was straightforward and less cluttered than Logic Studio. I think Audition's brilliance is in it's two modes. There's a destructive editing mode (which feels similar to Soundtrack) and non-destructive mode (which is timeline/track based). I haven't kept up with Audition,…
