You can read and write to NTFS volumes with Samba. I have windows 2000 and 2003 servers on the same network as my macs and I map NTFS shares to my macs all the time. Works like a charm. has worked well since Jaguar, but it now works superbly with Pa…

I would be very curious to hear from the first lucky owners of the computer. I think that the low end i-book is an excellent machine for system administrators and the like, and after I have returned my 15 inch Powerbook which has developed the case …

I am glad somebody out there does not have white spots. My second screen now has more spots than my first one. I am fighting with the dealer to get a refund. At this juncture even a restocking fee sounds appealing. By the way, I have yet to actu…

Well guys, three days after I got the new screen, the spots are back. Started forming today. Same pattern. Not as pronounced this time, but I am sure they will continue to become more intense. To be perfectly honest, I am not even mad. I just can…

If it were not for the screen, this would be one kick-ass machine. It's solid, does not vibrate, and the keyboard is to die for. But the screen -- I am sorry to say -- is inferior to most laptop TFTs out there. In fact, I think that Titaniums had be…

The new screen has so far not shown any sign of developing white spots. I am still keeping my fingers crossed.

Well guys, got my Powerbook back from the dealer. The screen looks good...for now. No dreaded white spots, and I have not found any dead/stuck pixels yet. By the way, the dealer did not have to send the computer to Apple. Apple sent them the new scr…

Quote: Originally posted by Sammy Davis I don't think it needs to be that serious. I think Apple engineers need to figure out where to reinforce or modify the framework inside the lid so that it doesn't make contact with the LCD like it does and…

My Powerbook 15 1.25 has been with the dealer for three days now waiting for a new display. They are all on back order according to Apple.

Took mine to the dealer today to have the screen replaced due to white spots. Every Powerbook I've seen to date has white spots. Some have them in a very pronounced way, on some the spots are barely noticeable. But they all seem to be located around…

I have spots too now. Not sure if they have always been there -- most likely -- or if they just appeared. This really ticks me off.

It turns out that the cause of my lock-ups was not the 10.2.8 update, but rather a 512 MB ram module that I installed recently. I installed it roughly the same time I updated to 10.2.8 and thus assumed that the problems were caused by the update. Af…
