  • Quote: Originally posted by EmAn No, they do have fans. The one on my iBook wasn't that loud but it was noticable. I think you are wrong on this. I have never heard a fan cut in on mine and a brief search shows me this article by Charles Moor…

  • Quote: Originally posted by trumptman Does the fan come on? The fan in the iBooks and Powerbooks is quiet loud when it kicks up. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner but hey it seldom comes on and when it does it gets the job done. I might be wrong…

  • Are you sure that the crashing is related to heat problems? I have an iBook 500 which I have had various problems with but heat has not been one of them. Bad RAM can be the cause of excessive and unpredictable crashing (if you have installed any …

  • These pictures are great! Keep 'em coming! 8) Atrox I particularly like the comparison with the cassette tape: that gives me a good idea here at home (where I do not have an original iPod to compare) of the relative size of the new 'Pod.

  • Great pics It looks like they made the whole of the inside of the new iBook white instead of keeping it the mild silvery/metallic colour of the previous generation. With the Powerbooks moving to Aluminum and with the 12" Powerbook bearing some rese…

  • Oh, and I meant to say, I think the rounded corners on the new iPod look much better than the sharp face of the original iPod. Not only does it look better but it should also feel more comfortable in the pocket
    in The New iPod :D Comment by retrograde May 2003
  • Wow, frank_t those pictures are just what I was looking for! The size difference really is quite dramatic and my desire to get an iPod is now reaching fever pitch... My father has an older 10GB iPod which is lustworthy in its own right but it reall…

  • mmmm... apple on a roll Seriously though, I don't think we will see Apple start to make any serious headway until new processors are announced. It's a shame really because it doesn't feel to me like the problems are Apple's fault per se…
    in Apple finally on a roll? Comment by retrograde May 2003
  • Always a good starting point for this is to run down to your local WH Smith or newsagent and pick up a copy of MacUser magazine (my personal favourite) or even MacFormat or MacWorld. There are plenty of online resellers advertising products for Mac…

  • Wow, great pictures! Thanks for posting them... but another request to see your old 10 next to the new 15 (if you still have it) By the way, but is it me or does the backlight on the iPod look brighter than on your Powerbook!

  • Where is Mandricard? or has he hopped on a flight to Cupertino to ensure he gets his new iPod as soon as possible?!

  • Quote: Originally posted by Amorph I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft kept Nisus up, just so they could have a steady stream of features to crib. It's nice at times to find some people out there as cynical as me!
