Quote: What if Apple stops selling iPods 10 years down the road like they stopped selling printers? Bang, all the music you "bought" is gone. What if the competition develops a better player? a smaller, cheaper, whatever? You are locked in if you b…

I agree with Luca. Goverment interferes too much already with free enterprise. Apple has every right to put the constraints they have on their product. I have every right to either buy my Apple products, or go but some other MP3 player. Governm…

Agreed. I have great kids. All the smart stuff is done....computer in a common area, etc. I'm not obsessing on this.....my kids do not clear history, etc, and I do check it every so often. I just think that the parental controls are very limite…

Omega, Thank you for that helpful link. I think all parents should monitor what info their kids are finding on the internet. You cannot believe everything you read just because it is on the internet. Smart adults know this, kids may not. Apple s…

I mistakenly posted this on the post below this.....sorry! I'm still waiting for my white 4 gig Nano to arrive.......man, i'd be ticked if they lowered the price 50 bucks...... I could see the price going down due to technology...that's a given …

I'm still waiting for my white 4 gig Nano to arrive.......man, i'd be ticked if they lowered the price 50 bucks...... I could see the price going down due to technology...that's a given eventually, but right away because they are not yey FLYING off…

Thanks guys. I did find the setup assistant, decided to try to move it to the trash, did it, and it hasn't been back. Printer is working well, faster then before. It's an old HP P1100.........just won't die........ I like the sererate clear ink c…

Dear fahlman, Thank you. After I posted, I did download stuff it expander and found out I still needed to do more. I called a mac buddy, and he told me that he had a simular problem, and that he thought it was a Tiger problem. I did what he told me…

My holding off a bit on buying a 3rd mac is not because if the "intel thing", although I do admit to not understanding fully the implications of it when it was first announced. That combined with many "the sky is falling' forum threads would make an…

I know it sounds confusing. We switched to macs in 2003, when I bought a 17" imac G4 for the family, and a 12" powerbook for my middle son, who was starting college as a graphic arts major. The powerbook has served him well for a few years, (using …

Dear Nak, Thank you for your kind help. Actually, Prior to me taking his powerbook when I bought him the new G5 imac, he had only about 3 gig left. Now that the imac thing kind of fell through, I gave him back the powerbook after doing a clean rein…

I don't know if we will wait for the "Mactels" or not......it depends on my son's future needs, in regard to hard drive space, etc, on his current powerbook. I posted a question on upgrading his powerbook, but as of yet I've gotten no replies... Wh…

Well, since I started this thread, I thought those who kindly replied deserve an update. It is a sad one. After having the first G5 imac for about two weeks, the apple store let me know that they could not get the parts, so just come up and ge…

Thanks guys. I'm not one to cry down the road when new updates come out.....in fact, I patiently waited for this 2 gig imac upgrade to come out before buying. All the rumor sites said it would happen weeks before it did, so I knew to wait. It wa…

According to some sources, a intel based imac should be out no later then a year from now....most think 2nd quarter next year. What I do not yet understand is how this impacts the current imacs. How will these intel macs be different. Will they b…

Thanks Guys, I have not been able to try your suggestions yet, because I had to give my son back the powerbook for awhile while his brand new 20" G5 imac got returned to the apple store for almost the same reason......at home where the powerbook go…

Thanks! I'm far from rich, but I guess that when you spend thousands to put your kids through college, what's a few more to buy them the mac's they need? I'm just rolling over and playing dead when it comes to spending on the college/computer thing…

Thanks Guys, That is both very helpful and interesting. Also, I never knew about the activity monitor. My youngest son does video editing on this G4 imac....it only has a 1 gig CPU and a 80 gig HD with 768 meg of ram..I don't think there is much …

Hi. I replied to this thread the other day, but something did not work, so i'll try it again. I plan on buying a new 2gig imacG5 this week for my son, who says he has outgrown his 12" powerbook and needs more power more then he needs portability. …
