  • I will add the following qualifications to my earlier post: 1) Prices don't generally go back up. There does seem to be an ample amount of inventory still on the MacBook Pro CDs. So you can probably wait and still capitalize on the discounts. …
    in Should i get a MacBook now or wait? Comment by joesph mother December 2006
  • Actually, this is the time of year when waiting might not be the best idea. All the retailers want to get old inventory off their books by December 31. So in this week between Christmas and New Years, there are some very good deals to be had. …

  • Where to buy: As I think you have realized from the replies above, there are two options that you should be choosing from: 1) catalog authorized reseller, 2) campus store. The benefits of the catalog reseller: no tax, "free" RAM However, th…

  • Pop Quiz: Would you rather: a) Spend $100 on a PS2 card and have your kids spend all day playing PS2 games in your home office on your $5000 G5 and 23" monitor that you would otherwise use for more productive purposes or b) Spend $14…

  • The issue may be that if you formatted your firewire drive in OS X, you may not have made it OS 9 recognizable.
    in Firewire hard drive not mounting... Comment by joesph mother July 2003
  • I've been curious about this too. Looking at what has to be done to overclock the current dual G4s, it looks like it takes a very delicate hand. Are there special soldering tools or techniques that will make this easier? (I.e., is there somethi…
    in Overclocking Processor Comment by joesph mother July 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Placebo If you're going to get a G5, chocke up that extra $400 for a 1.8 model. TWICE the Hard Drive, TWICE the RAM, a faster processor, faster RAM, more RAM capacity...it's a no-brainer. While more RAM capacity is…

  • I use an alcohol free screen cleaner from Fellowes with no problem. Product number is 99701. It's a spray and soft, dustless tissues. I just spray onto the tissue and gently wipe. Works for me. Just don't press too hard (this is true with a…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene joseph mother, there's a threshold where the cost of QA becomes to unwieldy and inflates the sale price for the end-user. Do you really want that? Hey, there is high quality RAM and low quality RAM. It is t…
    in My opinion of OWC's product return policies Comment by joesph mother July 2003
  • THE FOLLOWING IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE (I am not admitted to practice in any state): I too would be infuriated. It's not the $13 that is the point here, it is them screwing you. I would call one more time. Sounds to me that they delivered non-c…

  • I don't really keep up with the iMac product cycle, so I can't tell you when it is likey to be updated again, but it does seem like the rumor sites are anticipating minor updates. My guess is that it will remain G4 for at least one more update. …

  • Then what of the money that IBM has put into Gobi? It seems strange that they wouldn't have thought of this way before now if that is their plan. Of course people would shell out an extra couple hundred to have the AlBook over the iBook! It mak…
    in No More iBooks? Comment by joesph mother July 2003
  • To all the students: May I suggest an alternative: Buy a Pismo (Powerbook G3 with firewire) off of ebay (or a graduating senior) and order a 1.6 Ghz G5 from your campus reseller (and have it delivered to your home if you are going to school out …

  • Quote: Check the system requirements... since you mention UT2K3 and a Pismo 400MHz in the same post..., I'm not sure what you're running. I have a dual 867 that I want to pit against my Pismo 400. Thanks for the suggestions and info. That w…

  • The mesh isn't so bad unto itself, it is the graceless rectangular cutout for the Superdrive and the prospect of having FW and USB cords dangling from half way up the machine. The Superdrive door should have had a little curve to it like the orig…
    in Yeah, well what should it have looked like? Comment by joesph mother June 2003
  • There is a new single 1.25 G4 that retails for 1299 on Apple's website. I'm guessing it is just a stop-gap machine to tide consumers over until the G5s arrive.
