  • RoadTools coolpad is awesome. It lifts up the powerbook and still allows typing. I have temperature sensor on it, keeps it I'd say an average of 7-12 degrees cooler(It lifts the back end up higher for convection flow). Fan doesn't run nearly as m…
  • Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. Airport, not Bluetooth. Oops
  • Bluetooth would be nice because then I could stream my iPod to airtunes and carry the iPod around the house with me, instead of having to keep it linked to a base. The iPod would in essence be the remote control, a really nice, easy to sort through…
  • Have you actually heard the soundsticks or creature? They both produce pretty good sound. I have the creatures, the fill downstairs of my apartment pretty well. I've only heard the soundsticks briefly, but my understanding is those are pretty pow…
  • What struck me about that ad was just the design of the units. On the napster side were these machines that didn't look nearly as easy/elegant as the iPod. I'm looking at that and thinking, I want the iPod, even if I weren't an apple fan.
  • Okay, that's two people that said quicken came with their mac. I ordered mine from online mac store, education discount, did I loose out somehow? The only other item I worry about switching them to a mini is the future proof of G4 vs. G5. Watchin…
  • I have the 1.3 17" powerbook, it did not come with the latest Quicken when I bought it, unless it's buried somewhere on the computer and I just don't see it.
  • I've used a little windex sprayed on paper towels. It works, but can streak if you don't wipe up/rinse with a dry paper towel or paper towel with just water.
  • How did people know of apples pre-internet/retail stores? There are quite a number of classic apple posters, maybe created a little buzz back then. There was the very famous commercial in 84, only aired once, but put the world on noitce in a sense…
  • I play Cand C on my 1.33 17" pb, and it works fine, with same cavaet as above. Get a lot of items on the screen and it can momentairly slow down. I do play with most graphic settings turned up on here. I also have Sim City 4, this is hard to play…
  • Internet cable? I use dial-up so my phone cord is plugged into the computer and I have speaker wire and printer cable plugged into the AirTunes. So you shouldn't need to have any internet specific cable hooked up. The airport network that the ass…
  • With AirTunes you plug in the airtunes powerbrick into the wall and run your speaker wire into it. It's both a good thing and bad. Only iTunes will play through it(wish apple would figure out how to let system/computer sounds go thorugh so I could…
  • I have the same 17" as my only computer and had/have the same issues. Too many cables. Don't know your budget or what you have connected but here is what I did. To get rid of printer and speaker cable I picked up airtunes so that hides/gets rid o…
  • The Missing Manual, by David Prouge/Progue? Good book, although might be thicker than you want, but that's because it covers so much.
  • There is another way to have two streams of music. Pick up airtunes, and you can listen to music through iTunes streamed to airtunes and the system spakers will still/continue to play system sounds, i.e. the warning chimes, etc. The drawback is th…
  • Bought an epson stylus 740 with my original iMac, it's now hooked up through airtunes/airport to my powerbook, works fine. Only thing is I can't check ink level without it being hooked directly by cable. I still print color pictures with it too, an…
  • Maybe as an emergency boot from install disc you have and reinstall last operating software you've got?
  • Laptop 699 songs(about 50 duplicates need to go through to eliminate) Listened to about 550 or so of them.
  • Cars should be there last colaboration. The Incredibles is the latest, second to last one. They don't get along right now according to news. I did see Incredibles by the way, brilliant stuff, with a funny little short to start again. Incredibles…
  • I checked iTMS and they don't have it. And I don't want to buy the entire album, just want the one song.
