  • My new iMac G5 is coming in a few days and I dread if there are any stuck pixels . Here's Apple's official stance on "stuck" pixels - note the ambiguity that is the last paragraph. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=22194 I've a…

  • If I hadn't changed some options, I agree buying in person definitely is the way to go. At least you live in CA, so it's a few days to get to you, I gotta wait for it to cross the country to get to me

  • I just recently ordered an iMac with an original ship date of 5/31. Found out it shipped today, but it'll take a good week to get here from San Jose . Ah well, it is free shipping after all.

  • I can sorta help: 1) Apple is much more expensive. A 1 GB stick of RAM from Apple is $300, getting it from a reliable place like Crucial is only $115. 2) I have no idea, and I'm wondering this also. The only info Apple says (at least for the i…

  • I also have an original Microsoft Intellimouse explorer that's amazingly still working 6 or so years later. I've used the newer version of the Intellimouse explorer and it works well, and also has side scrolling. You can get a new one for pretty …

  • Just saw on dealnews.com that a new Dell 20" LCD can be had for a hair under $400 shipped.
    in Seems that the Dell 2005FPW is the best 20" LCD? Comment by hodog16 May 2005
  • I bought the grey clamshell iBook back in college and loved it. Still works well although the battery life is down as expected. I have toyed with the white iBooks since and I agree the original iBooks felt more solid.

  • I've done some research on the 2.1's as I'm going to buy a set to go with an iMac. Didn't look at the 5.1's at all so I can't help you there. Here are the ones I found others to say were the best 2.1's and the best prices I could find for each on…
    in Best speakers to buy? Comment by hodog16 May 2005
  • Quote: Do I use the same memory for the rev.B as I used for the first G5 iMac? Or do I need to buy new ones? According to Apple's website, if you're buying memory, make sure it is PC3200, which I believe was used in both rev A and rev B now. …

    in Next wave of Apple hardware shipments expected Comment by hodog16 May 2005
  • I'm waiting as well, have been for the past few months. I drool at the 20 inch imacs everytime I go to the Apple store. I've been a PC person all my life save for one graphite iBook back in 2000 that was bought for convenience, not necessity. …
    in Any one else waiting for an imac rev b? Comment by hodog16 April 2005
  • I'm right there with you, from receiving the email to checking the website to being confused. Also waiting for an upgrade before I buy, guess it was just a random advertisement.
    in What's the meaning of the Apple email? Comment by hodog16 March 2005
  • I was in the mindset of waiting until June/July to get the iMac as I figured it wouldn't be changed until then. This changes a lot if it gets freshened up soon, the question is now whether to get the rev. B or wait for an all-new one later this y…
    in Apple Store alters iMac availability Comment by hodog16 February 2005
  • Thanks for the info. I had been waiting for news on any ipod change but got antsy, so I just bought a 60 GB photo for $525 shipped. Guess I won't feel as bad if it drops to $499, but so much for thinking I got a deal

  • I'm sorta in a similar situation although my 4 y/o Dell laptop will likely last awhile. My uncle and I are going to switch over to Apple with our next computer purchases in the spring. I'm focusing on getting the 20" iMac and my uncle was thinkin…
