  • Quote: Originally posted by buckeye I am going to upgrade the drive to 7200rpm after I send in my Powerbook for "spot removal" in January. Is there anywhere that details the procedure? Does it void the warranty at all? Go to Apple's Support…
  • Here is my two cents (I do a lot of digital work): If you want something small (a digital SLR is out of the question). If you want more manual controls and at least 4 MP of resolution here are my recommendations: 1) Canon G3 (rated HIGHER …
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave I believe it is. The 5400s come in an 80GB version. I second trowa's suggestion, that if you're going to upgrade, you do it yourself and keep the original drive as a spare. Makes a great backup drive after you…
  • Well, I just got back my Al PB 15" for four white spots and the LCD has been replaced (by a local Apple reseller). So far the screen is perfect with even illumination. It's only been three days though. Hopefully this was a permanent fix. cheer…

  • Quote: Originally posted by O-Mac $699? It says $399 at the Apple website.. The $399 upgrade is if you have a prior version of Final Cut Express Pro (1,2, or 3). The upgrade price from Express to Pro is $699.
  • I've been using Zinio since it first came out with PC MAG a while ago. Maybe it's just me but my 15" LCD is just too small for me to read it without enlarging the print, which is just too cumbersome. I think you need at least a 17" screen to view …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Utmost I recently bought a 20GB iPod about 3 days ago from CompUSA. Yesterday, I was hooking it up to my cassette adaptor in my car, and the iPod slid between the seats and fell from a height of no more than 6 inches.…
  • Quote: Originally posted by 709 \ Well, poo. I upgraded my Pismo and it went fairly smooth...so I figured this would be as well. Maybe I'll just have someone 'authorized' do it then. Thanks for the forewarning. It's not TOO bad; my problem w…
  • Quote: Originally posted by 709 FW400 it is then. Thanks. If you're upgrading an Al PB, be careful; it's more involved than the TiBooks.
  • I contacted LogiTech and their BlueTooth Keyboards/Mice ARE NOT compatible with MACS. Such a shame really, what happened to BT standards? Has anyone gotten the Microsoft BT keyboard/mouse to work with the INTERNAL BT card in the newer PBs?
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chinney But what is the big deal about using up a USB port for a RF mouse? It is easy and cheap to buy a USB hub. Surely there must be some other advantages to BT, but I just do not know what they are. Greater range? …
  • Quote: Originally posted by tacojohn Really? Could you please post some links to the other keyboards? I'm interested in getting a wireless one and was looking at apple's. The only other bluetooth keyboard that I can find is microsoft's and its mo…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chinney Is there any advantage to using Bluetooth over a standard wireless mouse that I can get in any computer store and that advertises that it is compatible with Mac? Well, assuming the BT mouse will work with A…
  • Well, I guess it was my 7200 RPM Hard Drive that was causing the hanging (as someone pointed out previously); I couldn't re-install Panther or Jaguar. I went back to the stock 80 GB 4200 RPM HD and now all is well. Taking apart the Al PB is no swe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ucaboys CJ: Sounds like your harddrive might be falty or something came loose after you put it back together. Try pressing the Option key while rebooting to see if the firmware finds a partition it can boot from. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by walrus I am having a serious QC problem with Apple and my PB/800. The combodrive just went out on it and it is not repairable... it has to be replaced. Apple refuses to replace it because the warranty is two months p…
  • If I remember correctly - I've replaced my stock 80 GB HD w/a faster one - that cover actually comes off. So if you 'crazy-glue' it, it'll be a little difficult to take it off. Of course, if you have no intention of ever replacing your HD it's not…
  • Check out the Canon A70; I believe Canon to be far superior than any other brand in terms of good, quality, digicams, and range of types. The A70 sells for around $275 (check out DELL.COM for some deals - it seems that DELL wants to become another …
