Setting British English as the Default Language in OSX

I don't usually do this but it just took me an age to figure out how to coerce Apple's Pages to spell check my documents according to that Queen's English. To save one the imposition of figuring out how to do this, here's my solution: Open system settings, select International, open the Language Tab, and press the "Edit List..." button.

Upgrading the Hard Drive in a Macbook

Two days ago I upgraded the hard drive in my MacBook from Apple's paltry default 80G to 250G.

Upgrading the RAM in a MacBook

This morning I upgraded the RAM in my MacBook from 1G of RAM to 2G. I bought 2 compliant 1G RAM chips from komplett.ie for €27 each and followed Apple's straightforward instructions. Everything seems to be working well, so for €54+delivery it looks like I got a great deal on my upgrade. Now, my poor laptop should be able to run Eclipse without stuttering :-D
