  • I waited over a year for the iPhone -- for AT&T and Apple to have a tethering plan. I finally punted, gave up on the iPhone and bought a prepaid phone (AT&T) and 3G card. But the 3G card is prepaid - Virgin Mobile's Broadband2Go - and it…
  • Two thoughts. One, AT&T's failure to deliver on tethering (and very delayed introduction of MMS - only on the iphone) has convinced me to give up on the iphone, at least for a year. When a carrier is ready to offer the iphone with a tethering …
  • I've used macs for over 20 years. Between my wife and myself and work + home, we use 5 macs (two owned at home). And apple is charging too much. I am reminded of the 80s/90s when they were outrageously arrogant in pricing; anyone remember the 9…
  • This problem has had me consider "switching" ... to a windows or linux laptop. I have been sitting next to a friend with a XP laptop - he could connect, I could not, OFTEN - and at other occasions I have been right next to my wife with her macbook …
  • I don't want to be a "single issue voter" but - No tethering, no purchase. My beat up cheap LG phone does tethering; other smart phones do (real, high speed) tethering. The iPhone is in the dark ages without a real tethering plan. That, and …
  • [QUOTE=melgross;1322784]There will always be some person who has a problem with something. Good: Real graphics in MacBooks MBPs with much faster graphics capabilities Bad: Glossy display - I dunno, I've been in an apple store - yes, many li…
  • I'd cut Adobe a break. They are a business, and transitioning their software well to a new *processor* will take some time. In the meantime, I just (December) bought a 2.3 dual-core powermac, and am even more comfortable with that decision. It …

  • The 7800 GT is now listed at the Apple store as a PM option. Selecting it brings up an estimated ship date of 6-8 weeks. Thank you, Apple! We just wanted some more information. An earlier ship would have been nicer, but ... I'm buying.

  • About that 7800 GT... http://discussions.info.apple.com/[email protected] and this - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/NVI...T_Graphics.pdf and it now says "Available soon" on the powermac/graphics page - http://www.apple.com/powerma…
  • Quote: Originally posted by hypoluxa Ok, I know I might have read somewhere on here about this but I cant seem to remember where. Anyhow, what is the diference between two separate 2.3 ghz chips, and a single dual core 2.3 ghz chip? Is the dual …
  • Quote: Originally posted by >_> Well.. I (think) I found the correct CABLE to be used... Maybe your system is different, but I thought you had to run your audio (optical, whatever) into a receiver (5.1 aware, and with optical input) …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Lemon Bon Bon PS. I'm glad the 7800 GT had merely been 'delayed'... But - it seems like an open-ended delay. We don't know when, which is like waiting for hardware updates from Apple. I assume we're back in the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB OK, I am not sure. I cannot find any details on the 970MP in IBM's site. My understanding from Others In The Know in this forum was that there was one frontside bus per core - not per processor, contrary to Appl…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo I don't see this as a despair; the 7800 is just like $80 more. ??? We're comparing the general 6600 (not 6600 GT) vs 7800 GT? The 6600 prices run $100-150, and the 7800 GT is $400+ ...
  • Quote: Originally posted by Powerdoc It seems that we have no choice. It's the middle class card, or the ultra pro card. The high end gamer card (the 7800 GT) is out of the window. Perhaps, like the X800 (?), it will be added as an option l…
