SAFETY WARNING!!!
You are warned that hydrogen peroxide is very nasty stuff and can cause severe chemical burns to skin and can also cause blindness if splashed into the eyes, if handled incorrectly. Usually, you can’t buy stronger than 12% over the counter, as this is the maximum strength sold to the public and is used to bleach hair. If you want to try this, I would strongly suggest that you wear goggles and gloves to protect yourself.

The original magical “Retr0bright” gel mixture that was found to work is:-

1 pint (500ml) Hydrogen Peroxide, 10 to 15% strength (40 vol) (available from hairdressers’ supplies, e.g. the ‘Sally Beauty’ franchise in the UK)
2 heaped tablespoonfuls of Xanthan Gum (available from health food shops or online)
1 level teaspoonful of Glycerine (available from pharmacies)
1/4 teaspoonful of “Oxy” laundry booster

Add the Hydrogen Peroxide and Xanthan Gum to the blender or liquidiser. Mix on high speed for 5 seconds. Add the Glycerine and mix for a further 5 seconds. Let the mixture rest for a minute then mix again for 5 seconds. A smooth, non-drip gel should have formed. This gel can be put into a dark coloured jar or tub (e.g. a coffee jar covered in tape) and stored, as long as you DON’T add the “Oxy” until you are ready to use it.

Mac Mini update

Jason — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 14:39:27 +0000

Well this what i found about mac mini , it is grate mac for first time user.as long you do not want play fancy 3D games but for web work or office work. i also tested the Virtual OS software and found between, VM ware , Virtual Box, and Parallels that VMware is fastest of all of them duz a better job VMware support 64 bit os as well and has 3D card support and can be found priced same as or less than parllells . Well ware duz Virutal box fit in all this well best thing about it is FREE and realy ez to use too so if want try this type of computering i try this first. The mac mini hard ware wise was grate with the new iLife 08i did not do to much testing with it but i can say i love new iPhoto . so all in all would i buy mac mini yea i would but just for internet and some basic graphic work and simple Games i would miss having storage options and i can not put parts like memory and hard drive in mac mini , do not get me wrong i can but such a pain to do i would not do it unless my only mac . So if new to mac or new to intel like of macs buy a mac mini and take a deep breath and jump in you have no worry at all just best way to do thing on a computer .
