I'm not a big fan of paying for compressed music to start with... let alone something that I can only play on my iPod (I have a number of digital audio players... only one of which is an iPod). I still have my stuff backed up the old fashioned way.…

If I'm not mistaken... Lithium Ion batteries prefer to be "topped" off vs. being fully discharged prior to recharging. I believe regular complete discharges can actually reduce the life of the battery. This is a pretty good read... http://w…

Well... like they mentioned... the results are likely to be crap right now... they just don't have enough of a base in order to give reliable results. The more people that connect and upload their info... the more accurate the results will become. …

Do a search with Google's Froogle... http://www.google.com/froogle?q=clamshell+ibook+battery Looks like prices are in the $150 ballpark

My little iBook doesn't mind sweaty palms

Actually... Unless you plan on having a server, or transferring data between multiple computers, a weak wireless signal shouldn't be a problem. Even a weak wireless signal will likely be able to send data a bit faster than your DSL speed (the way w…

Did you use the Firewire connection or USB on your friends computer? Sounds like it might be USB 1.1 (and not 2.0)... I don't see any reason for that type of speed difference with Firewire from a Mac to a PC or using USB 2.0.

Why do you want to convert your MP3s to AAC in the first place?

But of course ya get stuck with that thing sticking out your sleek new iBook about two inches.

I've always been one of those people that keeps his [Windows] PC as clean as possible. Everytime I'd uninstall something... I'd automatically go and look to see if any folders were left over and delete those... then go into my individual profile an…

I would think Sun could port over StarOffice 8.0 (I'd believe it's Java making it cross platform friendly)... Unfortunately... with every new version of MS Office... they add little things here and there that break compatability with other office s…

Quote: Originally posted by Antithesis Careful, though. I see what you're saying, but it's that 'cost of software' that is often a 'deal-braker' when someone is switching platforms. Now, if all you needed was the iApps and AppleWorks, there'd…

Quote: Originally posted by spotcatbug I guess that's what I was getting at when I asked my question. Does anybody lambast Sony for not selling a $500 PC? If you're one of those people that believes Apple must sell a $500 Mac, you have to think S…

Yeah... the Mini ships with both firewire and USB cables... no need to have bought another one. You could always go with a USB 2.0 external drive or pick up a firewire hub and you'll have as many firewire ports as you'll need.

(only got my iBook about a month ago... 128MB soldered and 128MB in a slot... I know there was some serious outcry with the last generation of iBooks only having 128MB of memory... so now they just populated the one slot with an additional 128MB...…

OS X for x86 Microsoft didn't make it's money on hardware. I know you can't get the whole Mac experience using X on a non-Mac platform. But here Apple has a viable OS... one on par with consumer usability as Windows XP, and they don't take a…

I didn't mean to suggest that an inexpensive machine need be a bad machine... I just meant that Apple should not produce a low end machine unless they can produce something outstanding at that lower price point. My first and only experience with…

I guess the "locked" pricing that Apple has always had is something of a double edged sword. On the one hand... the products do age and remain at the same price until they're discontinued or a new model comes out. On the other hand... you don't ha…
