  • This is interesting - I'm interest now - I may be able to scare up a cheap PC to run RDC - I was curious to know, how decent is the screen refresh rate using RDC vs. using Virtual PC? Is it snappy through the 100-base T ethernet? I had an idea -…

  • I go to a lot of electronic retail environments as part of my work, and I have heard the Creatures vs. Soundsticks vs. Champagne speakers side by side. I'd have to say the Champagne sounds the best (though they look ugly imo - looks like a two ho…

  • Patchouli, I'd be interested to know the Dell model 17" LCD which is the same as the Apple one , could you provide a link? Also, is it DVI? If so, then great cause I'm looking to get a TiBook (when a new one comes out, not going to pay these heino…
    in Apple Double RAM Offer Good For Portables But Maybe Not For PowerMacs Comment by kestral October 2002
  • I'm hoping to find someone in Toronto who has done this upgrade. I'm willing to take the chance with my iBook on this.

  • Would like to see 867 and 1 ghz eMacs, after the surprise 1 ghz of the Powerbook, going 933 mhz would seem like a cop-out. Time to get out of the sub-ghz basement.

    in iMac update overlooked? Comment by kestral October 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by FlashGordon: On a slightly different note. I personally think Apple should change the current 17 inch display to the 17 inch display on the 17inch iMac and go to an all widescreen format. I don't. Web pages are easi…

    in What Happens September 30th? Comment by kestral September 2002
  • Matsu, I agree, the price/performance ratio on the TiBooks is not attractive enough for me at this point to purchase a TiBook. Hence my waiting for a new machine in hopes that Apple realizes that their current top of the line laptop falls well out …

  • Murbot, I have to admit, I haven't been too good at holding on to my computers the last couple of times. Used to be every 3 years I got a new computer, my iBook that was just sold lasted just under a year. My previous machine, the Piss-mo 400, las…

    in tell me your guesses for iBook updates Comment by kestral September 2002
  • Take it from an ex-iBook owner (just sold it yesterday), even Jaguar is unbearable on it (at least on my 500 mhz w/66 mhz bus). Anything less than a G4 imo is pointless at this point.
