One thing I did notice was someone mentioned that the screws on the top face of their Powerbook were philips-type (the screws above the speakers, perhaps on the bottom corners of the LCD housing also?). They were a little unhappy with those. Well,…

While I wish I had some more time with this machine before I posted anything, here goes my first impressions. Display: zero problems. VERY bright (haven't had it above 50% all day). No stuck pixels of any color. No white spots (I can't entire…

Sorry about yours, Wifty! Hopefully TNT isn't the EU equivalent of Airborne. What a bunch of Keystone Kops.

FINALLY, my 15"er is leaving L.A. and moving its way through the dustbowl (up the hillbilly highway, no doubt). I've spent way too much time analyzing shipping patterns of many many powerbook shipments, and even though Airborne's shipping infor…

I wouldn't install 10.2.8. Many people have reported the keyboard backlighting isn't working well after updating (and a flurry of other problems). Apple has pulled the update from their website and Software Update. I have had no issues on my G3 L…

Quote: Originally posted by qazII Does this have anything to do with the shipment type? When my monitor shipped, Fedex tracking was a lot more verbose, but that was Express Saver, not Ground. My iSight looked like it was scanned early, and o…

Dangit, I meant to post this in "General". Amorph (or someone else), care to move it?

I'd just like to say that I missed this whole thread and I'm not happy about it. Paul, you ordered it right? Exact same configuration as mine. Mine is just starting to track now.

As a follow up: I copied my project back to my internal HD, opened there, and the choppiness is gone. I think now if I import it back to my camera it should be OK. Of course, I found a couple more things to fix.

Thanks for the info. I suspected that it was the external drive, but since it has been recommended to use an external FW drive rather than a 4200 RPM drive, I was unsure (my pismo has a 5400). I have a 15" Albook coming this week, so it will at …

I woke up late this morning, so I didn't get to hit my Order Status until just now --- SHIPPED. Whoo-hoo! I was "On or before 9/23". I always said they are a bit quicker than their targets, but you know I was sweating a bit. Of course the trac…
