    in I'm stuck-- help me spend money! Comment by augustwest August 2002
  • Yeah, at least with the Powerbook, I can buy the best I can afford, and add things along the way (monitor, peripherals, etc..,) But what about the external superdrive issue? I've heard that the third party manufacturered drives don't work prope…
    in I'm stuck-- help me spend money! Comment by augustwest August 2002
  • I've been looking for a thread like this for a while! I need to provide a comfortable home for my new tower. I only have two rooms to consider, and I'll probably end up putting it in the corner of my bedroom. I've banged my knees on my old rolling…
    in The Absolute Coolest Computer Desk Thread Comment by augustwest August 2002
  • I also run the Formac on a dual 800Ghz with a 17 inch flat panel. It's not a perfect TV substitute mainly because there is a slight delay between sound and video (even though you can minimize this problem, it still exists-- perhaps software update…
    in Turning a 17" iMac into a TV Comment by augustwest February 2003
  • Comment : My iPod is about a month old. For what it's worth, I've had a similar battery problem with my iPod-- charge it up, then turn it off, then next day, the charge is already down (without ever using it). I also think that the power adapte…

    in wireless printing from ibook?? Comment by augustwest August 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by dreadpirate: Short answer - ibook. Basically it wins in the areas you're looking at, except of course for screen size. But honestly, I was leery about getting my 12", and I don't even notice it any more. This was go…

  • [quote]how were you planning on acquiring your photographs for manipulation on the computer? I am planning to get the Nikon slide scanner and the new Epson printer (model 2000 or 2200?). That's why I have to keep the cost of the computer down …

  • Does anyone know the difference between the academic and regular versions of Office X and Virtual PC 5.0??
    in Apple Student Program ? Comment by augustwest July 2002
  • What a great idea for a post! I've got an original Mac Plus sitting in storage, but I don't know where my system disks are and the attached hard drive (a whopping 10 megabytes if I recall correctly) is dying or dead. Does anyone have ANY versi…

  • [quote]Originally posted by pyr3: My comment about RDC is still valid. You can run any windows program through RDC. Although games and movies don't do too well since you don't get a decent fps over the protcol though. But your database progr…
    in Virtual PC on Powerbook g4--Real Life Results?? Comment by augustwest August 2002
  • Thanks for the replies. I think I diverted the thread slightly by my "microsoft office" comments. I really need to use a windows database program called "Abacus" which we use at work, and was just looking for an idea of what speed to expect. …

    in So, are the new PowerMacs quiet? Comment by augustwest March 2003
  • I have a Dual 800, and when it is powered on in my bedroom, I can usually hear it from my office a mile or so away. I mean these things are LOUD. That being said, its a very fast machine, and if a person can get used to New York City, they can…
    in So, are the new PowerMacs quiet? Comment by augustwest March 2003
  • Matsu, I was actually considering selling the dualie tower and the ibook and just using the 12 inch pbook, but from what people are saying, it might not be the best move. Especially considering both my computers are so damn new! Thanks for you…
    in 12 inch Powerbook vs. Dual 800 Tower Comment by augustwest January 2003
  • Where exactly does the Dual Processor make a difference as compared to say, the new 12 inch pbook? My only real concern is that photoshop doesn't take a long time to load or render on basic photo editing tasks (not fancy effects), and that I can ed…
    in 12 inch Powerbook vs. Dual 800 Tower Comment by augustwest January 2003
  • Went to the Soho store last night. They said the 12 inch ibook MIGHT be in in a few weeks. No word on the 17 incher. Bummer. Apple should time its announcements with the products availability! Who knows, I might have made an impulse purchase …
