Help! I need a CLEAR grab of the book Daniel is reading in Upgrades

I have looked all over the screen grab sites but they are not very clear ... If someone could actually get me something of a decent size that I could read I could have a bash at translating it.

p.s. Someone Seriously Seriously needs to give Mr Shanks lessons on writing hieroglyphs, in fact I am surprised Daniel doesn't have a computer program like me to type them into!

Um. You know that Apple has been making Macintosh laptops (http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/) (iBook and PowerBook, now called MacBook and MacBook Pro) since 1999, yeah?

I think Daniel should be a Mac user. He'd make all the Windows users at the base nuts with compatibility issues. *g*

Someone needs to write a fiction about that - mind you, going on the computers they have on the show, I've not seen a mac at all.

I haven't seen a Mac on the show, either, but I take computer placement with a large grain of salt. In movies, one tends to see Mac placement where it really makes no sense (the Pentagon??), and I tend to notice more PCs on TV.

What really cracks me up is when I see an obviously PC monitor and case, but the OS being displayed is clearly Mac.

Word to the need for fic. I think Daniel would have gotten one too many viruses (probably at home or someone transferring files from off-site... Although in "Hathor" the SGC had internet access. Hrm) and insisting on a Mac. Plus, the graphics are better. Right tool for the right job, eh, Daniel?
