in General Discussion edited January 2014




I ordered my 15' Powerbook Superdrive with 128MB Video and 100GB HD. I'll be spamming the forum when I get the powerbook as I try to figure out how to do some stuff. Why the hell does it take 7-10 days to make the damn thing? DO they have to forge the aluminum or something? DAMN APPLE!!! I WANT MY POWERBOOK!!!

    I got my extra 512 stick from newegg an hour ago, so I think I'm gonna pop it into my iMac so atleast I'll have SOMETHING to play with while I'm waiting.



    Printer came too but its defective, and epson decided to ship the fedex return tags from effin Indiana. What the hell?! What company doesn't ship tags by email anymore?!

    Warning, Laptop ram won't work in imac because imac takes desktop ram. Or you screwed up on the ram for the Powerbook.

    LOL! Same here. I ordered mine on the 1st of this month. It now says "In transit" but hasn't updated since the 5th. Just says "Departure Scan" from Anchorage. To be honest, I'm pretty pissed off, ALMOST enough to make me cancel my order when it gets here. They said it would be here on Monday--thats since gone and past. I took off of work Monday and today so I could mess around with it. Way to go Apple! (note the sarcasm?)



    If it doesn't get here by Thursday (three days past when they said it would be here) I'll probably be mad enough to refuse it.

    I bought it for the iMac, cause it took me a while to see what pin size of the PC2700 I needed. Now that I finally found the info on apple's developer site, I can order it for the PB.

    crucial says 200 pin. They're not TOO overpriced on that considering even generic ram on newegg is 80+ bucks plus shipping and tax. Crucial is 95 with free shipping. But it also says I need the same size for my imac (184 pin ram didn't fit), which is odd.
