  1. Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

    I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

    But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

    Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

  2. This is quite something. It feels more modern than the old broken one we had, but that one had more features (like a builtin light!). Sadly it doesn't have a microphone input. It does however advertise to have "megapixels" 😄. Which is actually about 1.3MP haha. A 16MB SD card was included for photo's. It can even record a ten second clip in 320x240 to the SD card, or 160x120 even!

    No clue why they would include that though.
