  • Overall, I'm less than impressed. While the new features are certainly worthwhile, I see nothing completely earth-shattering that will make ME run out to buy Leopard immediately. A few comments on some of the more noticeable features/improvements: …
  • Don't worry about the word processor. If you're in college, you can usually get Microsoft Office 2004 for about $8-$10 on a license. Just ask your bookstore about it. iWork is nice. But it's not Microsoft Word. You have to decide whether that's i…
  • All it says about RAW support is that it can now work with "several recent digital cameras". What cameras? Why are they so tight-lipped about this? I've been waiting for Rebel XT support (official!) in Mac OS X for a while now. iPhoto with SOME R…
  • Thanks for the info! Just what I wanted to know!
  • Last season I couldn't get enough of the show. This season? Well... I think what made last year SO great for me was the character development that each episode had. Did the show move slowly? You bet. You didn't find out a whole lot in a short per…

  • I have iWork and use it exclusively right now. BUT... I don't think I'll be buying the upgrade in '06. Microsoft Office license at school is $40. iWork each year will cost me $50 (academic). That's a hard sell for me. Keynote is a godsend, though…

  • I think it has to do with the graphics card. If you updated your G5 tower to one of the below-listed graphics cards, you should be ok I would think. Maybe contact Apple and ask them about it.
  • Sounds like a bad stick of RAM. Did you get Apple RAM when you bought the PB or upgrade it yourself? If you got the Apple RAM and you're still under warranty, they should send you a 512 stick for free or upgrade it for you at a retail store. If you …
  • I hope Apple has a solution on the way... but we probably won't see it until next year with Intel Powerbooks. That will finally give the notebooks the power they need to run software like Aperture and many others. The minimum system requirements for…
  • It's a shame that Aperture won't run on the 12" Powerbook at all but will run on the iMac G5 - a consumer machine. What a joke the Powerbooks have become. My only hopes are (1) that Apple updates the Powerbook 12" before or shortly after the rele…
  • THANK YOU! I was hoping you'd still be awake and checking this thread! PLEASE ask about it at the show tomorrow. It seems COMPLETELY insane to me that Apple still has the PowerBook 12" for sale if it won't even run their latest pro app while a ne…
  • I watched the Quick Tours. TWICE. First - this is not even close to Photoshop. It's better for photography but has no graphic design features whatsoever. It's a perfect app for the digital photography who wants to work in RAW and have a single-ap…
  • The problem I have with Aperture is that it won't run on a 12" Powerbook which IS a PRO machine but has only a 64 MB video card. I want to run a 12" PB with a 20" Cinema Display and use this for my photo shoots as well!
  • The fact that the 12" iBook is crippled so that you can't use a Cinema Display with it makes me upset when I see the unsuredness of a 12" PowerBook upgrade. At the end of this semester, I'm going to buy a 12" Powerbook with a 20" Cinema Display and …
  • And now that I've done more research... I've realized this! That seems "fishy" to me. Easy way to get people to buy those Powerbooks even though there's very little difference between the two models right now. I guess I'll wait and see what W…
  • Glad to hear that as I am getting ready to buy the exact same camera! Did you get the kit lens 18-55 with it? I'm planning on getting the 17-85 EF-S lens. Looks very nice.
  • Went through WebChat and eventually contacted tech support on the phone. Turns out that if the USB bus power is reduced to a certain level either due to power spike or just a hungry USB device, that the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse can get disconnec…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jayhigh How do I change some of the default settings in pages? I dislike that everytime I open up Pages, the view is at 125% and that the ruler doesn't show up. Is there a way to make those the settings for every new d…
  • Pages can export documents into Word format, but unless you're working on complex documents with multiple revisions and various authors, exporting to PDF is much easier and more compatible. I used Word for years as a PC user and found it annoying…
