I have the 17", 1.33 GHz PB. I've had it for about a month now and have experienced no problems. The PB works like a charm and is nice to use, but can seem unwieldy in tight situations. I got it because of the display size. Perhaps the 15" would…

If this will serve as your primary computer, go with the largest screen you can afford and load up the RAM as much as possible. A little money spent now will prevent regrets down the road. If you cannot afford the 17" PB, then go for the 15" PB. …

Although the predictions for the new imac sound great, I'm afraid Apple is going to be more conservative in its line-up. Most likely, the iMac will get the G5 processor, but a lower speed one, perhaps topping out at 2.0 GHz. I really don't foresee…

Go for the PB - it is definitely worth it. The superdrive is nice, but if you don't need it now, hold off on it and save your money. Also, listen to the other replies - go with the standard 256 MB RAM and then buy name brand RAM from Kingston or C…

The idea of 2 laptops makes sense. I am using a 17" 1.33 GHz PB as my main computer and a 12" 867 MHz PB as my laptop. I originally got the 17' PB for use as a laptop and was going to sell the 12" PB, but changed my mind because I felt the 17" PB…

Your design looks like it may do the job. However, I'm concerned about the additional weight and bulk to the PB.

Even though I am an ardent supporter of the iMac in uts current configuration, I feel that a change is needed. What Apple really needs to do is produce a computer that will really compete with Wintel nachines - more power, more memory, etc. If it …

I installed the security update as suggested on my 12" PB. When I restarted, all my added programs had disappeared! The basic programs that come with the PB were there, but not any that I had added. I restarted the PB again, and, to my relief, al…

I think the deletion of the iMac from the Apple line-up will floor everyone along with the introduction of the X Station as a replacement for the iMac. Apple Office will also become a reality and replace the aging Apple Works. It's about time Appl…

I think not! The sound would suffer. If you really want good sound, buy separate speakers. The compromise made by putting the speakers in the Apple display would not be worth it. Even the Apple Pro Speakers would sound better than those included…

A 20" laptop is just too much to even think about. The weight would not lend the unit to much portability and the sheer size of the unit would limit where it could be used. You can forget on airplanes unless you purchase two side-by-side seats. T…

I re-read the explanation and I now understand how it works. I have to admit, if you don't have the explanation of how it works it is mystifying. Once you read the explanation carefully, it all comes into focus.

I read the explanation as to how it is done, but I still wonder how it works. I gave ut 15 tries and it was right each time.

Since I've only been a Mac owner for about 1 1/2 years, I guess that's how long I have had my primary computer. When I was using Windows, it seems I switched computers every other week trying to find one that actually worked and didn't crash consta…

I think the next iMac should be very similar to the high end one now available. Apple should include more RAM (about 512 MB), a larger HD (although 80 GB is pretty good), USB 2.0 (more than what is available now - say maybe five), and up the firew…

Install Panther as an upgrade. Beware, however, that Panther does not have Apple Works or iDVD in the program, so if you decide to install as a "clean install", you better have copies of those two applications available.

Apple Works is my program of choice. Even when I used PC's (that is hard to admit to) I used a version of Apple Works 5 for Windows. It looked much more professional than MS Works and cost a lot less than MS Office. Even today, I prefer Apple Wor…
