New iMac keyboard and mouse. With luck (it's taken a long time for various boring reasons) I may have a new 21" iMac next week, or the week after. A few queries... Obviously I'll do all the updates first but... Apparently they come bundled with a wireless keyboard and a Magic Mouse. I really, really want to go on typing with my Matias T... 22 May 2010 18:13

Latest VirtualBox.... I was taken by surprise with VirtualBox changing names recently, or at least the addition of 'Oracle' anyway. I've just been playing with the release of v3.2.0, and have also just upgraded my Ubuntu VM to 10.04. Another surprise there too, speed, wow! they seem to be getting something right there, I just opened O... 20 May 2010 18:19
