  • I was in the Apple store in Towson MD and the demo 17" PB had continual problems with the trackpad - Apple staff kept doing the 'cover the pad with your palm' act but a few minutes later the problem was back. Solution seems to to be to get an extern…
  • I only buy a computer about once every five years and decided long ago that I am better off paying more and getting something I really want rather than compromising and spending the next 5 years regretting my decision - within reason of course. I w…
  • I looked at both computers in Apple store but with the software loaded I couldn't really tell much difference. I will get an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Kensington bluetooth 2 button/scroll wheel mouse to use with iMac or Powerbook (and a stand for…
  • Updated iMac should now definitely get an 8X Superdrive, 512 megs RAM and an upgraded video card. Question is - WHEN?

  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar I have to say I find that just weird. I really would have thought it'd be a very simple matter for them but clearly for some odd reason an order has come from above. Contact Apple UK and ask them about gettin…

  • Quote: Originally posted by endymionls I just turned mine around and checked (which would be easier to do if I had a longer USB cable going to the printer). It's rated 100~120 V 50~60 W. Hope that helps you. Can anyone from UK who has an iM…

  • Quagmire - as an actual owner of an iMac can you please check the power rating. Is it rated at 100-240V or 100-120V? I move between UK and USA and so far Apple's have auto switched between voltages but I have read that the new iMac is country speci…
