... As I'm going through my folders in search of the files he starts getting flustered and belittling. ...
Besides pricing yourself too low and underestimating the time needed to pull-off a project, I picked up on this (your quote).
If you're going to be a professional graphic designer, it's time you got your filing/archiving system down. As you saw on that phone call, a little fumbling around and disorganization doesn't reflect wel and gives your nightmare clients the opportunity to belittle you. Don't give them that opportunity. Be organized.
One final thing. Phone time is meeting time. Meeting time is billable. Especially when the phone calls are over 1/3 of your billable time.
And good luck with the career. :)

Hi All
I am currently a PC user, but am interested in switching to Mac. I m looking at getting the Mac Mini (1.42Ghz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, SuperDrive Spec)
How will the above spec machine deal with very basic video editing? I have a DVD Cam Corder and will want to 'join' video clips with music tracks added.... nothing too serious.
I have to choose between the above Mac or a AMD Athlon 64 (+3400) PC System (with 1GB Ram and 200BG HD)
Any help would be appreciated
Scott

Releasing this now is the dumbest thing Apple has ever done.
I would think ousting Job's ranks a bit higher on that scale.

Wow, that is completely awesome! Now we need the Colecovision emulator and games, and Namco and Nintendo packs...
It shows you how amazing these games were that they can still make money on them over 30 years later.

Seems to - iCade has 6 (plus 2 for 1/2-player)
Dang! That is true.
Thinking it out:
Stick = Up/Down
Bottom Red = Reverse
Right-Botton Black = Thrust
Right-Top Black = Fire
Top White = Smart Bomb
Bottom White = Hyperspace
On Stargate you could assign one of the others to the Stealth mode button too.

I wonder if the games/API also work with the iControlPad (http://icontrolpad.com/)?
Also, if the games detect a bluetooth controller, do they still display on-screen controls?

One of a bunch that circulate through right now. This particular one is from Schneider Studios on DeviantArt. (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=SchneiderStudios#/d2elxwf)
That's Adium with a custom theme, and MacLampsX (http://arcticmac.home.comcast.net/~arcticmac/software/maclampsx.html) doing the bulbs on the screen edges. I usually show my Dock, but didn't want to block any more of the bulbs than necessary.

its up and running!!!
4.8 Terabytes over 5 Hd's, 2Gb of Ram, Dual 867Mhz G4 processors and I'm a happy man!
Just need the graphics card to arrive and I'm pretty much done hardware wise. Then its just setting the machine up.
Thanks for you help so far guys'n'gals.
BTW no pictures as yet. Being a noob to tower based systems I didn't order long enough data cables so the inside is real messy. I think I'll just go for 1 meter length cables and cable tie them in place nice and neat. That will aid airflow as well.
One thing just quickly. As Nap is now working, is the connector that the main system fan normally plugs into throttled? Its just that at the moment I've got the fan plugged into a 12v supply and its running max rpm all the time. I would like to get it temperature controlled to keep the noise down even more.

You know, leekohler, I'd find this crusade you have to get respect for gay rights a lot more persuasive if you didn't make snide and deriding comments about republicans and Christians on a regular basis.
Seeing someone so passionate about respect yet so blatantly not exhibiting it himself towards other groups undermines this position so badly I am actually going to ask you to stop one of the two. Please stop either

First let me say while this is a new account, I am not new to Macrumors. I've been coming here for a while, it's just now that I am making an account.
Ok, some of you might be aware of Mountain Dew/Pepsi's promo, every10minutes where you can win an Xbox 360. If any of you drink this regularly, instead of simply throwing away the caps, I'm asking you to email them to mikeL30@gmail.com
I know it sounds like a lot and sorta cheap, but I'd really appreciate it and if I could give something in return, I would

Yeah I had my computer shut down for the weekend but it's back up and running right now. I lost out on over 100K+ :(.
I might build another computer as I have a i7 920 laying around and maybe I can run another bigadv client. I'm also looking to purchase a home soon so I may be in a out a bit while I get re-situated into my new place. I also can't be spending too much on computer goodies :D

I can wait, I'm at Mac Expo tomorrow, so hopefully I should get it from there.

Hi. Thanks. I think your right. The solution may be for me to send the "hourly" thing the way of the dodo. Set prices will help protect me from chiselers who claim they can only afford so many hours.
I don't think that's necessarily what he meant -- only that you should raise your hourly rate.
It's up to you whether you charge by set prices or by hourly rates, but you do need to be able to accurately estimate the work involved -- if you underestimate the work and price according to that, then you're stuck in the same boat.
Perhaps a combination of approaches. A website, for example, might start at $500, which includes 2 hours of client consultation and 10 hours of work, and two hours of after-sales support work. Additional hours beyond this are charged at $40/hour. I made up those numbers from thin air, but you get the idea.
That way you're covered in both directions. A piddly little site doesn't yield piddly little money, and the big complex clients get to pay accordingly too.
