There are VGA to ADC and VGA to DVI, but they're pricey. DVI to ADC is a simple affair and less costly because the signal is the same. I think DVI is best for laptops anyway. Many of NEC's panels have both a VGA and DVI input, get one of those.
Now we know who crams all of that false info into your head...poor thing.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You don't know my boss. He's from Hong Kong and has a PhD in plasma physics. I think. Then worked in medical imaging where he met his wife, a PhD also. He cracks open the wiring diagram of $2 million hardware and tells the service rep where to test the continuity and voltage and then tells you tell you how his second order differential equation is different from the published literature. He's brilliant. Optics, electronics, mathematics, physics the guy blows me away from day to day. He was telling me stuff about the 17" and 12 powerbooks I didn?t know 12 hours after the keynote. Oh and he?s always ready to help and tells you everything he know.
Oh BTW what "false" info?
He thinks Allen Alda is famous because of "Scientific American Frontiers" on PBS. Literaly!
I wouldn't buy a 15" PowerBook (knowing what we know now about how much better the new ones are in many areas) for all the tea in China!
I'd simply wait until they applied all those "fixes" and tweaks to it as well.
Again, I was just kinda surprised they didn't whip out all three sizes yesterday. Left the 15" model in the lurch, looking a bit "uh, hello...what about me?"

Yeah but now you can get refurb 15inch 1ghz w/ super drive and 64 meg vram 512 ram 60 gig HD Tibooks for only 2549 at smalldog.com and That ain't not bad
I would love the back lit keyboard, better airport and firewire 800 but 12 inch is too small for me, and 17 inch is too big...so as it stands I'm getting a 15 ich powerbook in a week or so
os x only....sez in the specs at apple and stevie sez so at the expo...g
ps...personally i haven't booted to 9 in almost a year...expect for doing the firmware update 4.1.9 for my superdrive (so faster media won't kill my computer)...never even use classic, except when i open something by accident...notice that classic environment is opening and say "shit" and close it and try to remember not to use that program till it gets X native...g

Hmm. I heard the same from the people on the G-Books list. I'm sure that will give more than a few people pause in their rush to buy their AlBooks or Lapzillas (or whatever the hell you want to call them ).
Does anyone know if it's just OS9 booting off the HD which is banned, or is OS9 CD booting banned as well? I for one would at least like the ability to use 9 from a CD to use stuff like DiskWarrior or TTP.
Now, do we think that they are going to throw DDR 333 in to the 15" TiBook, or are they going to go with DDR 266 as in the 12". Also it is not the smartest thing to try and get around the 10 only boot. We run a network where all the clients are on OS9 (a school) and we have an ASR set up for all of our machines. We have had problems with different ASR's between the different iBook models and when we tried to use our OS9 ASR with a 700MHz iBook, the screen sized decreased to have the actual 12.1" landscape... all the actual screen content is there just on in a 4x5" area in the center of the screen. Apple cant even fix it, and to reinstall OSX, you need to be in OSX. Long story short, OS9 booting is dead, cremated and its ashes have been dumped into the ocean... <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
Each new model/bump will in its turn drop OS9 support. Soon there will be a very profitable pool of users for anyone who makes an OSX native diskwarrior type app. For me, the switch from windows to mac (excluding my OS9 lab use of a couple of years back) will just be simpler without worrying about 9 and X. As long as all the right X apps materialize over the next few months, most are here already.
Long story short, both are correct, in a way.</strong><hr></blockquote>"Aluminium," however, is the official spelling used by international chemical societies. Let's stay official
I am a certified Apple Technician for an ASP in Tulsa. I have already been trained in the new PB technology.
THE NEW POWERBOOKS WILL NOT BOOT OFF OF ANY VOLUME OTHER THAN ONE THAT IS RUNNING OS X 10.2 JAGUAR. YOU CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT BOOT TO OS 9 IN ANY SHAPE, MATTER, OR FORM...bye bye OS 9.

I see that OS 9.2 is conspicuously absent from the list of software that comes bundled with the new PB's.

not that i need OS9, i was just wondering...
if i get a 15" TiBook and cover the bottom with aluminum foil before putting it on my lap, ya think it will feel cooler?
