  • I don't think they should go down that route at all. Using spare cash to buy up small innovative companies and rebrand them as their own is what Microsoft does, and it's not innovation. Spend the cash on your own R&D and come up with innovati…
  • I don't think this is a huge story either but I do think it's a shame that Apple still sells computers even now which don't allow you to plug the Shuffle directly into the machine without additional cables or a dock since this direct plugging-in IS …
  • Totally agree with the people complaining here I'm afraid - they advertised this thing as "whisper-quiet" and it clearly isn't. If they hadn't boasted about the noise, I wouldn't mind so much. I know it's a budget computer, but the $400 Compaq compa…
  • One last thought -- at the prices you guys pay in the UK - iLife '05 should be included! I have to say, this is one thing that is making me hesitate about buying Apple - they really fleece their UK customers and it pisses me off.
  • People seem to be saying the PowerBook must be due for an update because the delivery times at AppleStores are so long, but the same isn't true for the eMac - both models are same-day delivery on AppleStore USA. I would love to see an update to …
  • Some other Mac sites seem to be implying that the PowerBooks and eMacs are due to be updated any day now, mainly due to the PowerBooks saying they'll take a long time to deliver even for standards specs at the AppleStore, and some French Mac website…
  • Can confirm from the UK.
  • Oh dear, does it? I'll have to check that out. I'd be pissed if I sprang the extra money for an iMac and got a noisy one. If it was noisy, would I get a replacement under warrant or would Apple claim it wasn't a fault?
  • One last thing - if the Mac Mini and iMac are so much quieter, I presume it's because they don't have fans - but with the components all so close together how to they cool them without fans?
  • Sincere thanks to all who've posted so far... it's really kind of you to post such well-researched and thoughtful replies... I can see I'm going to enjoy the Mac world if people are so keen to help a poor newbie like me. Please don't argue on my…
  • Does anyone know a good site that reviews monitors?
  • Where do you live?
  • On another thread I asked the same question and I had the SAMSUNG 172X-Silver 17" LCD Monitor recommended to be - and it looks mighty fine. Really slim, hidden cable system, and no Samsung logo on the bezel to detract from the Apple look! http://w…
  • Wow thanks for such quick replies guys! I was going to ask why you recommended that particular monitor but having looked closer I think I can see why - it really is a great design - ultra-slim, the cables hidden, it's beautiful! Plus the Samsung l…
  • As I'm new to the Mac world and considering a Mac mini I'm looking at TFT displays. Some say they're "Mac compatible" but most don't mention compatibility one way or the other. I would have thought any TFT display on sale today would be Mac-compatib…
