No reason to spend close to three grand on a notebook for school... Maybe a 12 or 15" Powerbook? Then again, you can get an iBook G4 with an Airport Extreme card for about $1200 and have a bunch of $$ left over. My thought behind getting an iBook …

Oops.. yeah... meant 800MHz... (must have been thinking 933MHz for the 14")... And yeah... it seems I subconsciously referred to my P4 notebook as a "G4" notebook... go figure

Well... I really just wanted to get away from Microsoft.... While I like X more than Windows... I've been using windows for nearly 20 years so I'm comfortable with the OS. I just have a problem with the way Microsoft does business and the way the…

You can always pick up this excellent OS at Fry's for a mear $200 http://shop1.outpost.com/product/2811884 I can't believe they even try to sell this crap anymore... Even Microsoft tried to bury this major blunder of an OS. Based on '98 but to…

I agree... 98 (or 98SE) is one of the most unstable Windows versions out there (well... maybe second to ME). Windows 2000 will run pretty well on any machine that'll run 98. It's much more secure and probably Micorosoft's most stable OS (it's been…

How could Apple make sure they get in on this market and keep Linux from being the future OS of choice for the thrifty? This would seem to be an easy answer (and an idea that goes back a while).... port a version of X over to x86. Granted... one o…

I should add... if Apple didn't have the iBook out there at such a great price... I probably would never have tried out my first Mac. God knows I have all the PCs I need... the iBook killed several birds with one stone (no actual birds were harmed)…

Unless it's a defective battery... I wouldn't worry too much about it. As is always the case in forums... people are usually there for help... so you're likely to see more problems than not... that's not really a representation of how the hardware …

Well... all lithium ion batteries will lose capacity after about 500 charges (provided the battery is not defective). I believe they drop to about 80% capacity at that point. That's another good reason to consider a Karma :-) With more than tw…

OK... here goes... Hopefully someone won't hunt me down for saying this Have you looked at Rio's new line of players... namely the 20GB Karma? Personally... I like that player out of all the players out there and it can be had for about the p…

Actually... as a general purpose user... I don't really have a problem with Windows. I know it's bloated, riddled with security holes (which seem to be increasing in severity instead of visa-versa)and, sometimes, unstable. But as a consumer... it …

Hey now... I just got a new 12" iBook G4/800MHz.... and I kinda like the way it looks... it has that sort of hospital clean look. Granted... the PowerBooks are pretty sweet looking also... but they're also a bit more expensive. I don't think th…

Are you replacing it with a larger PowerBook... or iBook? Just remember, the larger iBooks won't give you more real estate... it's just a larger screen.. the max res is still 1024x768. Although... I can certainly see wanting a larger screen... eve…

After sitting in my office for about 5 hours... then a subway trip... then a train trip to get home... I was anxious to get the little guy out and running. Fortunately I have a Mac expert living with me. I like to learn everything from trial and e…

Considering I've been a PC person for... well... about 20 years now (since my mid teens)... my biggest concern was learning the OS... I know Windows inside and out (well... as much as someone can know Windows inside and out)... so I've always been a…
