  • Wireless Mouse battery life isn't so good I thought I'd point out that my wireless mouse's batteries died today. Since my computer was in for service for a week, that means the mouse has about 3 weeks worth of use. Not too good on batteries. Admi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by thedustin ditto... Mine asked for it, but it only spent about 30 seconds on it. Maybe some language support? I think I accidentally selected a bunch of languages that I don't speak, it spent forever installing them…
  • Quote: Originally posted by thedustin that sucks. I always had it set in the lower left hand corner of my screen, so I could watch it. Oh well. The Activity Monitor provides the same functionality, and adds other stuff (like a top listing) …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Ti Fighter does the upgrade disk even have disk utility when you boot from it? If it does, format your drive and then install, that will clear up any problems. Yeah, I think I might do that. Unfortunately I have a …

  • Quote: Originally posted by advocate I have also noticed a drastic performance hit with Panther. This is on the rev. A 17" PowerBook. I've rebooted several times, and some things have gotten faster, but most notably is the much much slower log-in…
  • Just got mine now. I thought it was evening delivery. That's a nice suprise. Installing on my 1.25 15". Also, I thought the $20 would still be the full retail box, but no box :-( Oh well -Spyky
  • Quote: Originally posted by machem Got it back on the 17th. Spots started showing up yesterday morning, the 22. Checking right now.... I still only see #3 (which is high in the middle), but I'm sure the others will come on eventually. A week…
  • Quote: Originally posted by machem I shoulda bought a G5. I'm getting spotty again. How long did it take for the spots to appear after the repair? I got mine yesterday and have been checking frequently, no sign of them yet. I love my 15…
  • I received my repaired 15" today from Apple. It was rather unexpected, as I had called yesterday to get status, and it was still holding for the LCD. Here is my status. The screen is perfect, no whitespots, no dark corners, no bad pixels. The on…
  • Quote: Originally posted by fuzz_ball That I actually do know, but thanks for driving home the point. Okay, I'm glad you know that. What is sort of humorous about the whole thing is that manufacturer's love to tout their MHz or MFLOPS or…
  • Quote: Originally posted by fuzz_ball Forget about architecture for a moment, and try to compare the two most comparable systems, that leaves you with the 1.8GHz G5 and the 2.2GHz A64 FX-51. Again, ignoring the architecture, just looking at clock…
  • I've been playing WCIII a lot, with all the settings to the max. Generally this kicks on the fan, but I play with headphones, so I don't notice. Everything is very smooth. Very good performance, however, one day I was playing without being plugged i…
  • Seems the wait is more than 2 days now to get the LCD in. I just called them, it has been waiting on the part since Wednesday, and it is not there yet. They gave me expedited status now, hopefully that will speed it up. I wonder if this is why Apple…
  • Quote: Originally posted by machem Mine SHIPPED! I'm almost as happy as when it originally shipped on the 23rd of Sept. I could have it tomorrow, but I hate to jinx it by saying (typing) it. Too late, I guess. All my AppleCare returns have be…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Macaddict16 How do you activate he voice recording mode? I have updated my iPod but can not find voice mems anywhere. Also, the 1/8" jack has three connections instead of stereo which takes two. So quite possibly the…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Jukebox Hero Wow. This survey doesn't bode well for powerbooks. Looks like I won't be buying one. From my informal observations of Dells, the incidence of problems is much lower. From my own experiences as well, I'v…
