I hardly ever post here, but anyway...

My new (and only) iMac 24" that I got last week (sold my MacBook and Dell 24" monitor to get some extra money for this puppy). Please ignore the date... I didn't bother to set it on my camera :p

24" iMac

iPhone 8GB

Does anyone know where I can get such slim external HD cases (I'm supposing that black box under the iMac is an external HD).

Check out the Western Digital Passport External Drive. They are just like that and small. If I am not mistaken Best Buy will have them on sale on Sunday for 119.99 for the 320 GB model. I use one with my MacBook and it does great. Very portable

Mucho gracias, senior. I'll definitely hit up Best Buy and grab one. I've been after a small one like that for my laptop as well.

Yes, I do! ;)

And yes, it is an external HD for Time Machine. It is just an enclosure for 2.5" SATA drives (like those found in MacBooks), so if you want that exact same one, you'll have to bring your own HDD.

Here is the link from the manufacturer (Laser)

As mentioned, you can buy the Western Digital Passport drives which are sexy as well - or Seagate FreeAgent Go's which are also slim - these drives come with the HDDs built in and cannot be removed (swap out HDDs). I would recommend you purchase the WD Passport because it comes in a nice pouch as well. :)

WD Passport (the new design):

The one that was in the photo, Laser Case-2S (note that this is the top side, in the photo, I flipped it on its side so the glossy side is showing (bottom side, in reality):

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.

      Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
