"i was visiting a friend...he showed me a gadget hes had for nearly 3 years....check it out..... what is apple waiting for?.....i wish this was available with a design by jonathan ives..." Actually... the device in the link... the Archos AV420, …

Actually smaller than the Mini... The menu system is equally as easy to navigate as the Mini... You don't need integration with any application... it's recognized as an external USB drive and builds an internal database based on ID3 tags on the fl…

Agreed.... I don't have a problem with the hardware... and for the most part... there is some very good x86 based hardware out there... the problem is that there isn't a consumer friendly alternative out there to Windows... OS X on the x86 plat…

Here is a very detailed comparison of AMDs top end Athlon 64 FX chips vs. the G5s... http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/...49,pg,8,00.asp

I have to admit... I was always one of those "Why Mac" people.... "tons less software available", "over priced", "just a bunch of marketing hype"... blah blah blah... My boyfriend has been a Mac guy forever (going back to the 2E days)... and having…

Well... there is a free version of Opera with a giant banner ad... you have to buy it to get the "ad-free" version. Firefox is slow to start... but is fairly responsive as a browser once opened. It's clean and isn't integrated into every nook and …

The whole reason I went with a Mac was to use the OS (the hardware was nice too... but it was OS X that I was more interested in). My iBook sits on a little end table in my livingroom with a wireless connection. It's almost always open and on so I…

FAT32 is your best bet (then you can also plug it into just about any other OS... such as Linux... if you should ever decide to). NTFS is a better file system than FAT32, but if you're just using it as a backup drive and not as a system drive... th…

I think he said he's getting an iBook... hence no PCMCIA card slot... Airport extreme is the way to go there (besides... given the option... ya really don't want that thing sticking out of a card slot anyway)

Wow... that's the first time I heard someone say that... well... seriously anyway. Try "removing" something from say....Symantec via XP's "Add/Remove"... and you'll find a plethora of registry entries, hidden files, regular files, etc... all left a…

Your wife's Dell probably has the little 4pin (non-powered) Firewire port... they really shouldn't call those Firewire or 1394... They should have to have the full functionality of the port to get its name. Just remember... when you use the iPod on…

When you say "sending programs"... do you mean... you have a copy of say... the demo of "Unreal Tournament 2004" for your PC and you want to use it on your Mac? If that's what you're talking about... NO Mac applications will run natively on a Windo…

Lets not forget that the architecture of the processors Intel/AMD/G4 are different also. Intel did the numbers game for years... and still does with desktop models. They've had to backpedal and explain that the MHz aren't everything now that their…

I'm not really clear on what you're saying here. Are you saying that the image quality on the LCD display of your iBook is poor? or are you saying the print quality of something you're printing off your iBook is poor?

That's a long time... especially since you just got it. If you've got 640MB in it... it's the built in 128 plus another 512MB plugged in. They could have easily taken out the additional 512 and seen if that corrected the problem (provided there wa…

Well... to a degree... yes... I don't have my iBook in front of me... but I think it's over the #5 or #6 key... a little clear screw-type thingy (it's also the caps lock or num lock light... I forget which). If you slide back the tabs and the keybo…

I just don't see a market for a video iPod (or any of the other handheld video devices... e.g. Archos, iRiver, and some new ones using Microsofts OS on the way). I've got the gadget bug as bad as anyone (I've got five HDD digital audio players) and…

Easy to install... it's internal, so there is no slot or port on the outside of the iBook. You pop off the keyboard (carefully), connect the antenna to the card and pop the card in (or visa versa)... close it up and you're finished. Have patience …

Actually... I'm fairly sure MP3 and OGG Vorbis/FLAC can be done gapless. The Rio Karma has been doing it for a while now.

36 here and just got my first Mac a few months ago... an iBook. I've been a PC person (and still primarily am) for 20 years. The iBook was the right form factor and the right price to make it worth while to "experiment" with. I've been very happy…
