  • You're on the money here. When I used to bicycle commute, even a 12" to me was a bit of work. When you're carrying other gear, clothes, possibly a pannier or two, it feels like you're carrying your entire household. Not fun. I stopped using a should…
    in New Powerbook Comment by iomatic October 2005
  • Are you going through Executive? If you are, they'll be understanding. Just ask them what to do. You could always go the harder route and sell it, and get a new one. Quote: Originally posted by mercury7 Well thats a long story but the short …

  • If you ordered it from the Apple Store, everything is listed on the order receipt online.
    in powerbook specs listed on shippng box? Comment by iomatic October 2005
  • Thanks! Anyone know if the latency will matter (I don't think it did even back in the day)? Heck, I don't even know if they make faster latency DDR2 SO-DIMMs. I wonder. Quote: Originally posted by mrmister The new PB uses 533mhz DDR RAM--…
    in Apple enhances PowerBooks with higher-res displays Comment by iomatic October 2005
  • Dealram has this page for what appears to be the correct spec. for the new 15", but it's labeled '533MHz', whereas Apple's page lists '333MHz'; anyone know if this is definitive, best place to get, etc.? Thanks.

  • Don't the actual chips have to be released first? That's the only reason why I waited for my 3rd-generation (Rev. C is a misnomer, IMO) -- knowing full well that the lifecycle updates was in sync with Motorola's release of the 7447A. Quote: …
    in PB G4 update oct/nov Comment by iomatic September 2004
  • Right, but even limousine conservatives like Bush and Cheney have to keep their corporate interests too, and maintain outside contracts, like say, in Iraq! If any politico faction tends to watch bottom lines more than assuaging US employees, it w…
    in Exclusive liquid-cooled Power Mac G5 development details Comment by iomatic August 2004
  • That something is definitely not CRTs. Sorry. Play again! Quote: Originally posted by Messiahtosh ... I would personally be more in favor of Apple using CRT's in the iMac to bring its price down, rather than place a total marketshare dw…
    in iMac As An All-In-One Is Done Comment by iomatic May 2004
  • So disappointed. Where are the friggin' PowerBooks? And the PowerMacs for those folks? Sheesh. Oh well. It's their timetable.
    in PowerPage: New PowerBooks this week Comment by iomatic April 2004
  • Probably somewhat true. But, why kill O'Grady, I mean, of all the rumor/news sites-- maybe he pissed someone at Apple off? Quote: Originally posted by fred_lj That would be THE ultimate job of all-time! "Hmm, what nonsense can we feed the…
    in MOSR: New PowerMacs based on 3ghz G6, NOT G5 Comment by iomatic March 2004
  • Yeah, But now it's "as soon as this week." I'm sorry, but someone who runs a "news" site should have the capacity for proofreading, and stop waffling around the subject. As well, I can't wait for a "table Mac" either. Maybe he's a leak patsy …

    in PowerPage: New PowerBooks this week Comment by iomatic March 2004
  • Ok.. Quote: Originally posted by pscates Hell, I don't know...people should write stuff better when they have a website. Anyway. That's spot-on, it seems. There's no way 970fx chips could be put into a PowerBook form factor quite yet. Here…

  • No friggin' way; sorry, you're just wack. InDesign rules the roost on OS X. screw OS 9! Goodbye, 90s! Seriously, Illustrator and PSD integration is so tight and brilliant. And yeah, definitely 1024 merely *suffices*, but just so, on the ro…
    in Smaller powerbooks on the way? Comment by iomatic March 2004
  • no way. methinks Powerbook speedbump first, or PowerMac G5 improvement, or both. Maybe all? feh. rumormongering. I just want my 3rd rev. 12" PowerBook. love y'all. ... ...
    in iMacs and flat panels first, PowerBooks and Macs later Comment by iomatic March 2004
  • Yeah, I got one. There'll be a new architecture in the next year or possibly, in another. How's that for vague? Yeah, I see all those things coming down the pipeline, someday. But not definitely all at once. Otherwise, I'll eat my mousepad…
    in New Macs Going To Be Realesed On........... Comment by iomatic March 2004
  • when i installed mine, or rather attempted to, i had to make sure it was aligned; you sort of "feel" for it to align, at least I thought the edge toward me should be the guide (á la table saw, if you've ever used one). but the crashes could just …
    in Airport Extreme crashes PB12? Comment by iomatic October 2003
  • Two things. 1) It doesn't look like it's all the way in. AppleCare said, looking straight down, you should not be able to see the card _at all_. Try this, if not, then: 2) Worse news; I had to return my powerbook to the applestore online, afte…
