  • Other than to provide supply, what is the real purpose of getting the 6800 GT? Now that the Radeon X800 is available for the Mac, why would you go with NVidia anyway? Is there a particular reason for it? Unless it's price... but if you're running a …

  • Thanks for your input. I'm still torn!
    in New iBook vs. Powerbook Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • So I went to my local Apple Store to take a look at the iBook... it's ugly. I really don't like it. It didn't help that the only new iBook 1.2 GHz they had out had been WAY overused and was dirty... really dirty. But those circle speakers and such..…

  • I doubt it as well. They've had quite a bit of trouble getting the current iPod minis out there, so I would imagine they are still working on that issue instead of devleoping a new one for Christmas. HOWEVER... there is that iPod/iTunes/Music ann…

  • Is there any way that you can log in as root to see if the System Prefs are still greyed out? That should be the only thing "above" Admin on the system. Maybe something needs to be changed at the root level? Wish you had someone you knew with eth…

  • I've read through some other iBook vs. Powerbook postings and noticed that some people say that the iBook actually has better battery life (not real surprising considering they have slower processors, etc.) and better wireless reception (something t…

  • I've never understood the obsession some people have with AntiVirus software. 99.9% of the time, if you're smart and you don't go skipping through strange websites, you won't contract a virus, worm, etc. I don't know why people continue to open e-ma…

    in Any classical music fans out there...? Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • I just thought of something else... Does SBC give you an "emergency" dial-up # that you can use in case your DSL goes down? If so, try connecting to the internet with that and see if the same problem occurs. Also... what settings are greyed ou…
    in system preferences greyed out 10.2.8 Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • Could it be that when you're on the network/internet (SBC DSL) that their servers are restricting some of his privledges? Have you tried hooking up to someone else's network/internet (someone without SBC DSL) to see if the problem still exists? I…

  • Grr... Frustration... Grr... I need to purchase a system (preferably mobile) before the end of the year. If the new Powerbooks (assuming they are released at MWSF) were available immediately following the keynote or something like that, I could w…
    in No new PowerBooks before the holidays Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • The Radeon 9200 in the iBook makes me think we might not see a Powerbook update before the end of the year. The GeForce 5200 in the 12" Powerbook may be there to be more appealing the the "pro" who needs 64 MB instead of 32 MB. I would agree that…
    in Apple unveils faster iBook with built-in wireless networking Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • You're a newbie and you have a dual 2.5 PowerMac G5? Must be a rich newbie. Nice system. I am running Mac OS X 10.3.5 on a PowerBook 12" with no problems that I can tell. Don't know if it would fix your issues, though. If it ain't broke...

  • Is there a BIOS-like interface for the Mac? If so, how do you access it?
    in Tips for a year-old switcher? Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • Personally, I would be amazed if Apple updated the iBook without updating the PowerBooks at the same time. Tuesday does make sense; it's exactly 6 months since the last update. And Educase starts that day as well... Here's hoping for new PowerBoo…

  • If you're talking about the heat under the left bottom corner from the hard disk, no, it hasn't been fixed. Just looked at one today in the tech store on campus. It's not as bad as some have made it out to be, though. I don't really notice it on my …
    in Powerbook 12" 1.33Ghz heat issues? Comment by adamrao October 2004
  • I know quite a bit about navigating with the keyboard, but certainly not the way an experienced Mac user does. Any tips? Just noticed something that bothers me... why doesn't CMD-Up and CMD-Down work in all windows/frames for page up and page dow…
