Well, I'm trying to catch myself. I'm just a bit stressed out since it's getting near the end of the school year and I have a lot of schoolwork to do. Projects, presentations, papers, that sort of thing. This is hardly the place to be taking out any…

Current technology (17" iMac) can be equaled by another product that costs about half the price (Superdrive eMac).

Quote: Originally posted by segovius Would external USB2 be slower than Firewire and a worse option ? Yes. For a single device, the difference should be negligible. But if you have more than one peripheral connected, Firewire would be better …

Well, be fair, Messiahtosh. You have a 15" iMac, which is $1300 right now with specs not much better than your current one. The $1800 iMac is pretty nice, so if you spent that same money now you'd get a bigger screen, better graphics, and a number o…

You could try replacing the internal drive with a 5400 RPM or a 7200 RPM one. But that is difficult and it'll void your warranty. I think it would be better and more cost-effective to buy an external enclosure and a 7200 RPM hard drive to put in …

I like the eMac update. I think the only thing missing is 64 MB graphics, which is basically the low-end standard for desktops. -iBooks and the low end eMac should get 32 MB graphics -12" PowerBook, high end eMac, low end G5, and 15" iMac should…

You know, both of you are being equally foolish. Nothing gets accomplished by simply barking back and forth at each other.

Both Microsoft and Logitech have driver software that lets you arrange the keys on the keyboard to work just like on a regular Mac keyboard. Logitech's keyboard also has two sets of markings - along the tops of the keys are the Windows markings (Alt…

The company that makes the media has nothing to do with whether it will damage your drive or not. There was simply an issue with using 4x media in a 2x DVD-R drive. And it affects ALL DVD-R drives, not just ones in Macs. A firmware update was releas…

Well, it seems as though there are a lot of technologies on the verge of becoming mainstream. PCI Express, new revisions for ATI graphics cards, and dual layer DVD-R drives are all supposed to be only a few months away. It makes sense to wait to upd…

No.

Just because Apple doesn't sell them doesn't mean they're not available. Apple charges way too much for their media. I'm not saying to go cheap on DVD media, but $10 for five 4x discs is pretty expensive. Besides, you don't have to buy from Apple fo…

I checked a while ago and the 40 GB drive is a 5400 RPM, while the 80 GB is a 7200 RPM. Before the price drop late last year, the middle eMac came with a 60 GB drive that was also a 7200 RPM. As far as the Superdrives are concerned, there's reall…

Personally I'd just order the PowerMac with a Combo drive, then buy the $125 DVR-107D separately. Then sell the Combo drive for $50. Much cheaper than paying $200 to upgrade. Even Plextor doesn't charge that much for their DVD writers. But back o…

Well, last year, there were I think three updates right in a row, just weeks apart. The 1 GHz iMac, 1.42 GHz PowerMac, 20" Cinema Display were all announced in late January and early February. Earlier in January there was the introduction of the 12"…

Hehe, people are posting the same thing in both topics.
