  • Yeah, you're right about it being slow. The iMac/iPod setup (if it works) will be for my wife. She doesn't want to depend on my PowerBook and me for her music. Despite being slower than Firewire, I think that the transfer speed will be fine. It can…
  • For what it's worth... I have a good friend who works at one of the Apple Stores and he says that "soon to be discontinued" stock is offered to Apple employees at a discounted price (I think that this is common knowledge). He just got a great dea…
  • I think that Apple should SWITCH to a multi button mouse to help with their SWITCH campaign. It's more an issue of perception (sort of like a placebo effect) than anything. More buttons must equal more functionality, right? I'm currently enrolled in…
  • The actual application that I need is AutoCad LT, which is offered at my university's computer store for $138. I really don't want to even spend that much money on a program that I'm only going to use for 2 months. The reason that I have to buy it i…
  • Quote: AppleWorks 6 works in both OS 9 and OS X. I didn't know that. I just installed AppleWorks from my iMac and it does indeed work in OSX. Thank you very much, Luca! Brian
  • Quote: My dad's PowerBook came with PCalc 2, Snapz Pro X, and Graphic Converter 4.1. That must be the Pro set. I have AppleWorks for OS9 on my iMac. I guess that I'll just have to use that. Brian
  • Call me stupid but I decided against gettting the TiBook discount that I posted above. I instead got a 12" Combo, .Mac, 15Gig iPod, and a HP Printer all for $1700. I just tired of waiting for Apple to release anything new. Now I can concentrate on s…
  • Quote: I'm buying in 2 weeks... I'm possibly buying a 12" PB on Sept. 8th (the supposed ship date for my college computer store). I wish that I had bought one a couple of months ago when they had plenty in stock. I would be a much happier person…
  • I'm glad to hear that it will work to a degree. I'm not planning on doing anything other than beginning technical graphics on a 12" PowerBook. If it can get me through that, great. I do wonder if it's any faster under XP Professional (v6.1). Bri…
  • Sorry that it took so long to reply! Apparently it's a pretty sweet deal they have at the ASU computer store. There are about 10 TiBooks in stock. The best part is that AppleCare is included in the total price. Last week I was told that they wer…
  • Quote: ...I understand all that. I'm asking the guy from AZ what the specs are on the powerbook his bookstore is selling for $2099, eh? I should be able to get the same price from my rep, but I need to know if there are any differences in the parti…
  • Quote: Can you find out the specs on this particular TiBook? It would really help me out with my order. I think that Powelligator has the specs right for the one I may purchase with the exception of the Airport card. I actually haven't gone to s…
  • Quote: With stupordrives? I got a quote for a 1GHz, 1 512M DIMM (instead of 2x256) , 60G HD, Airport, superdrive for $2389. $2100 would take some sting out, for sure. I don't think that the 1ghz TiBooks come with anything other than the superdi…
  • Quote: I've already started school and I dont know if I should wait for the new ones. I could be without a laptop for months... Decisions, Decisions.. I've just started my grad program this week with no new PowerBook. It seems that most of my cl…
  • Quote: expo in France anyway ...... they hate us with as much enthusiasm as we have for them. Have you ever been to France? I've been to France a few times and have never felt any hatred whatsoever. In fact, I've found the French to be the exact…
  • Quote: i love los angeles for this reason alone Los Angeles is a great place despite many things while Phoenix is a not-so-great because of many things and I'm not talking about the 110 degree temps! Brian
  • Quote: WOWSER YOu have 2 apple stores near you This is the only good thing about living in Phoenix aside from my grad program. Brian
  • Quote: Did he specify any further what 'updated' might mean ? Not really. I certainly got the impression that he was aware of all the anticipation with the new PowerBooks and that he took pleasure in saying the word "updated". He did say that th…
  • I've just started a graduate level graphics program and I'm going to get what the Apple rep at my university's computer store refers to as an "updated" 12" PowerBook next week. They are completely sold out of the current PowerBooks and will be getti…
  • Here's yet another prediction for this week... http://ogrady.blogspot.com/ "A reliable PowerPage source who has seen the new PB15" and its box describes it as looking just like a 17-inch except smaller. Some notes: Ports on right side 1.25…
