Quote: Originally posted by SonOfSylvanus Why would you want to return a battery that lasts that long? That's good. I don't really get more than 3h with medium/light use ( Jaguar 10.2.8 ). Three-and-a-half hours is about the length of time going …

My display is also starting to show uneven backlighting. I've asked for a replacement machine, and it's in the pipeline. No ETA yet. The Sales reps I talked to told me that the problem has been fixed at production (they didn't give me the "eh…

emacs of course. Pan is the best newsreader ever. You can play with all kinds of windowmanagers: blackbox, enlightenment, gnome, kde (complexity increasing generally in that order). xmms is a simple media player. mplayer is a video/media …

If you have CHUD installed, you should find the Update CHUD utility and update to 3.0.1. The L2 cache thing is funny in 3.0, plus CHUD 3.0 doesn't recognize the 7457 in PBs.

Fink allowed me to ditch linux (on my personal machines) for OS X. I would feel naked at this point w/o blackbox or some such running on X11 with the virtual screen. I'm a big fan of virtual desktops, but I think expose' is a nice alternative for …

Quote: Originally posted by RageX I just bought the keyspan remote Thursday, it uses RF, not bluetooth. Hope that helps. Yeah, it does, but dangit, I want a BT remote. Not a phone. Anyone else?

Apple has covered me more than once when HW went south a week or so out-of-warranty. I feel that was the right thing to do in both cases, and obviously so did they. I wouldn't have squawked if either problem had happened 30 days out and they had s…

I personally haven't heard from anyone I know at Apple say the problem is officially resolved (and these are people who would/should know), and I won't call for my replacement machine until I hear from them. These are not people with particularly…

Someone over at Macnn posted that they received a 12" 'book today with Panther installed. Maybe my replacement PB will come with Panther in a week or two...?
