Sale on 750GB Ministack w/Quad Interface and FW/USB Hubs
(from site sponsor OWC)
"MiniStack V3 750GB - $199.99 special
We are discontinuing our 16MB Cache model 750GB MiniStack v3 FireWire 800/400+USB2+ eSATA solution (w/powered USB and FW hubs) and have slashed $40 off its last price. There are about 23 units currently in stock. First come, first served. The smaller cache really isn't that big of a difference in terms of real-world performance, this special is simply because we're no longer going to be listing this model and want the handful left moved out. So - it's a great deal while available. :)

(Includes Cables, Prosoft Data Backup for OS X, NovaBACKUP for Windows, Intech HD Speedtools, and 2 Year warranty.)

(FYI - the $199.99 special version sold out as of late Thursday.) I use a 1TB MiniStack V3 as my Time Machine drive with this AL iMac. (Partitioned into 3 volumes - CCC clone of boot drive, TM volume and a volume for EyeTV recordings). The FW/USB hubs are a nice plus.

iMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1 for 2008 iMacs only
Just a FYI that Apple revised the iMac ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1 web page to note it's for the new "iMac Early 2008" models only. I've updated Monday's news page archive to note that. (Originally the page didn't list that requirement and many of us with 2007 iMacs that had older ATI firmware could not apply it.)
(And as of May 1st, they changed the URL/page name - it's now titled "iMac (early 2008) ATI Radeon HD Graphics Firmware Update 1.0.1".)
