  • Thanks for the responses. I thought it odd that it would not be working with Tiger at this point.

  • Thanks, gentlemen. I should know that. First thought was for an office. But if I end up using some programmes like Sketchup, or Dr. Frame 3D, or Drsoftwares other programmes, it would be best for me to get the better graphics cards.
    in A closer look at Apple's new iMac Core Duo Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • Here in the north of the rural US, where cell phone coverage is spotty, unless you get a 250$ booster, there are many modems in use. So it means that I bought a modem for my new as yet undelivered Mac for my office. Wide band may be common nearby,…

  • Thank you for the link aegisdesign. It would be interesting to also see the 20" iMac insides. Being the same motherboard, it must not look much different, just the screen is wider/bigger, and then a little more room inside, I reckon.

  • That is a well put question, "Where's the power?" You are fortunate if you have not had any problems with your consumer electronics. I have a Samsung 'hdtv ready' tv which gave me perhaps two years service before going dark, and a Sony DVD/VCR…

    in Apple, Microsoft announce agreement on programs Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • Today I just ordered an iMac intel, the 20", with 1 GB RAM, otherwise standard options. I was just going to research things, like software, but when I got to talking with Apple, I went ahead and ordered one. I was going to get an office Mac an…
    in Ok, so who ordered a new mactel? Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • It depends on what all he likes to do with it. One new feature is the Merge function, wherein the address book is connected to Pages, or at least some templates in Pages. So if you wish to do a mail merge for some document, to send it to all o…

  • Good point, Telomar. She has shown courage, actually, being in a hard place. Reading what she writes, she seems committed to the Mac business unit keeping up with the Mac. I would think she is pretty busy, but she does respond to personal emails. …
    in Microsoft ends development of Windows Media Player for Mac Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • If you like the keyboard for input, LaunchBar should be looked at. It is part of my everyday usage. How it works on a new MacIntel, I cannot say, but I am going to find out.
    in Im new to Macs! Advice much appreciated! Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • I hope the iPod 60 GB that I bought today will work with any new goodies that are coming out. The radio remote is something I am going to get when it comes out in black, to match the iPod. They have this HiFi connexion kit that just came out t…
    in 'more iPods on the way' ?? Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • Ah. Well, I was hoping to hear some juicy news on something new, but thanks a lot for that note. Now that line makes sense. I am believe I am going to get me a new iPod with the radio 'star'.
    in 'more iPods on the way' ?? Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • PowerBook is linked all right. It is linked in the minds of Mac users, and also a lot of other people, to having good looks and good performance(most of the time). It has entered in to a hallowed ground, and is part of the culture. It is linke…
    in MacBook Pro... Where's the Power? Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • I would have to get a modem to get on the internet in many places around here, including our office and my house right now. It just adds something to the price, sigh. I am going to wait for the next more powerful book to come along anyway, in the …
    in MacBook Pro... Where's the Power? Comment by nordicman January 2006
  • So you believe Apple elected not to use a cpu that was 2.16 Ghz, in lieu of just having a 1.8 Ghz cpu? It seems peculiar that if they were able to offer it, that Apple would not. I do not know why this was. One would think that the thickne…
