Quote: Originally posted by Escher Retrograde: See my post in the New iBooks thread in Current Hardware as well. Is your iBook/500 really beyond repair? I agree with your desire to wait for a G4, I'm doing the same. With that desire in mind, I sw…

My bike is kept inside our building but not inside the flat: it is kept in the communal corridor I woulodn't even keep an old cheap bike outside in the UK as too many people here like to kick the wheels in or just vandalise bikes after they hav…

Quote: Originally posted by trumptman I still wish the most important option were available. You still cannot change the drive configuration. You should be able to select more than a cd-rom on the low end iBook. Yes, this is something that …

Quote: Originally posted by Escher As I posted in the "New iBooks" thread, I think the doubled VRAM makes the $999 iBook an even better value than before. Not only that, all the BTO options from the PowerBooks are now available for the iBooks as …

Quote: Originally posted by Escher This iBook bump is about value, not pure performance! Yes, I absolutely agree... I guess I was grumbling earlier about the fact that I had hoped they would become even greater value than they already are. I…

512 down/128 up on a cable modem. The extra speed is more than worth the garbage 56k modem account i had which had limited hours here in the UK. Always on internet is the only way to go in my books

I'm not sure. With such a miniscule update and without the price dropping (at least on the 900MHz 12" model) I can't say I'm jumping for joy on the 900MHz iBook \ The powerbook 12" would only cost me an additional 250 pounds in the UK and so seems l…

The most disappointing thing about this update is not the lack of Airport Extreme or the lack of Bluetooth. It is not the relatively lowkey bump of merely 100MHz. It is not the lack of a better video card or the fact that the iBook is still a meager…

I luckily had a reply from an opey_taylor on a thread over at ThinkSecret who seemed to be having very similar if not identical problems as me. Here is his interesting reply: Quote: Retrograde and iThink..., I didn't get a lot of information from …

I have been having the exact same problems with the combo drive on my iBook. This, I believe, could be the culprit for the further problems I outlined here. It is also worth noting another thread which points to this (the combo drive's failure) …

Thanks, michael for posting the pic That is a much more interesting pic than the previous two although the screen has been blurred to prevent us from seeing the operating system (although it does look like a To Do List or something of the sort w…

As we're posting links, here is the link to the Live Quicktime Stream of the Conference Call. Begins today 2pm PT/5pm ET. ps. I love this little disclaimer which we on AppleInsider are, of course, going to pay much attention to Quote: Pleas…
