  • Hmm... That's actually not a bad idea. I think it would require something more though, to lure buyers. I would say WiFi and wired LAN for putting it on your network. But, again, why not lose the screen and just do the box? People [read: most]…
  • Here's the problem with the way you're approaching this, Ukieboarder: No matter what, something better will always be on the horizon. It is the law of the land in the tech industry. Asking these questions, while fun to speculate, is somewhat su…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Robin Hood Edit: I wonder, is the MacBook Pro the first computer (laptop or desktop) that Apple has shipped with 1GB of graphics? At least the higher end model. 1GB of graphics? WTF are you talking about? Als…
  • I disagree. The 1.6 Core Duo will be used in a 13.3" MacBook Pro that will effectively replace the 12" PowerBook G4. The Core Solo's will still be used in iBooks [MacBooks?] and probably the mac mini's until 2 Rev's down the road or so. By th…
  • Cinema Displays haven't seen a change in some time. What if they are getting more inputs/a tuner? Just a thought.
  • I think something a lot of people are overlooking is that fact that whatever Apple has coming out, it has got to be big. Why? 1. The nano event was about a month ago and, for what I can surmise, the nano is really aimed at being Apple's flagshi…
  • Well the 15" and 17" PB's have terrific screens. I'm not sure what you are talking about there. The 12" iBook and PB both have the same screen and, for a 12" 4:3 screen have a respectable resolution and decent brightness. It's the 14" iBook scr…

  • Canadian tracking down too.
  • So basically if I archive and install, I will have an easier set up time but with the risk of conflicts and a bogged down system. If I do a clean install, I will have to re-do all my settings, users, etc., but the system will be snappier and probab…
  • Posted in another thread but no one replied I'm not new to the Mac, but this is my first OS upgrade. I went from an OS9 iMac G3 to an iMac G5 (now my parents) and a new 15" PB. I want to do a clean install but I am unsure on how to go about doi…
  • Ok. I'm not new to the Mac, but this is my first OS upgrade. I went from an OS9 iMac G3 to an iMac G5 (now my parents) and a new 15" PB. I want to do a clean install but I am unsure on how to go about doing this. I backed-up all my important fil…
  • Hahahha. Thanks guys. My friend did the photoshopping. He is pretty damn good at getting stuff to match up. I don't know if we will do one for the new Tiger splash page.
  • It's a good question. First off, I would say that's a good call on keeping the iMac. As for the 23" CD, I do believe you can run them off of any DVI port. Motorola makes some really good HD tuners with DVI out but you can probably find other …
  • Quote: Originally posted by AsLan^ Have you got a second opinion ? from what I understand a powerbook is a fairly solid computer, have you tried just putting in a new ram chip yourself ? obviously I dont know the guy but Im sure someone here has …
  • Quote: Originally posted by zenarcade I think that I speak for everyone when I say that for basic internet, for basic iMovie and for casual gaming . . . . You should buy the fastest ( and cheapest ) Dell ! [I am sorry for being harsh . but …
  • Quote: Originally posted by AsLan^ With that being said... what will a new powerbook give you over your 12" powerbook... probably nothing, your best bet is waiting for Tiger and installing it on your 12", a new OS is just like having a new comput…
  • Well, I plan on using it for basic functions (Internet, email, word processing, digital photosp) as well as iMovie, Photoshop (some hefty renders), page layout (brochures, ads, etc.), and wouldn't mind playing WoW on it. I currently have an iMac G5…
  • Well, it isnt actually engraved, it is embossed. It will scrape off. Anyone who has an older mini and has carried it in a pocket without a skin on it knows how easily the writing on the back begins to scratch and fade. I would suggest a really li…
