    On the 11th of November, the MacTalk podcast will hit a milestone of 100 episodes. To celebrate this fact, we're doing this episode live on stage! If you're in Melbourne, join us on the night of the 11th of November, at the <a href="http://www.thebirmingham.com.au/">Birmingham Hotel</a> in Fitzroy for beers, pizza and Apple geekery of the highest order.

    There will be free beers for our special podcast subscriber mates (so if you want free beer, you <a href="http://www.mactalk.com.au/podcasts/">have until the 10th to sign up</a>!). There will be a Mac running iTunes with our favourite music on it, so load up your iPhone or iPod Touch with the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284417350&amp;mt=8">Remote</a> app so you can connect to it. There's a projector to show what we're talking about and a wireless mic in the audience, so instead of shouting at yourself when listening to us, you can actually shout at us!

    <strong>When:</strong> Wednesday, 11th November, 2009

    <strong>Time:</strong> arrive 7:30-8:00PM - live podcast starts at 9:00PM and will go for approx 90 minutes.

    <strong>Where:</strong> Birmingham Hotel, Fitzroy - 333 Smith Street (<a href="http://maps.google.com/places/au/fitzroy/smith-st/333/-the-birmingham-hotel">Google Map</a>) - we're in the function room, but you enter via the main bar.

    <strong>What to Bring: </strong>Money for food &amp; drinks.

    The Birmingham can hold 100+ people, so let's try and fill it up! Pop a comment in this thread to let us know if you're going. I'll see you on the 11th!

    I'd max the RAM (4Gb would do), and pick up a fast 1TB+ 7200RPM hard disk for it; not worth spending a huge deal on an SSD when it costs more than the

    The Barracuda is a common HD in these machines, I'd do an SMC reset which should settle the fans down. Also check that all fans are operating properly/plugged
