The idea of a professional office suite based on open source and running smoothly on OS X is a delicious thought. Why not? Why should everyone trying to get their work done be a slave to Microsoft? They are the 'standard' in the way that Godzilla is…

I just use the very low-tech solution of keeping a doubled piece of cotton calico over the keyboard when I close the lid. The TiBook lid is so...squishy. If it's packed in my briefcase, it's even more important to shield the screen from those darn k…

The external monitor connection works great with my TiBook 800. The resolutions for each screen are set separately, and you play with the other settings as well.Now I'll just have to wait until I can afford that new LaCie to keep the PB company.

Although the action is smooth enough with the trackpad on my PowerBook, the pain in my wrists was no fun at all. Using a mouse is just so much easier. I have the Kensington pocket mouse (USB cord rolls up inside mouse for travel) with a scrollwheel.…

Oh boy, that's the last sort of picture I want to see as I'm typing away on my intact PB. Any theory that maybe SETI actually reached an intelligent lifeform that just got so excited about seeing a Mac that it overheated?

I know I should be comparing the same models for clarity, but... I was just looking at three models on the Apple sites for Switzerland and US. The new 17" iMac is $1999/CHF 3499 ($2432), so that's about a 22% difference. Of course, the CH prices in…

Look-alike is really a relative term. If the iPod is, say, George Clooney, then the Toshiba is more like George Bush (either one)...despite some things in common, consider the differences. Besides, the iPod will get more pizzazz this summer, can'…

I am often comparing prices on Macs and other tech goodies with my CH friend. Everything in that area costs so much more there (even adding in the VAT, since taxes are never included in US price quotes). I've heard that musical instruments and equip…

Some lucky folks at macsonly paid a visit to their local Apple store to try out the new 800. They had some very nice things to say, and the beauty and clarity of the screen was at the top of the list (maybe tied with the DVI input). They haven't run…

Matbe in a few days someone with the spare cash will be able to give a first hand review of the new wonder-babies. But, at least procrastination pays off once in a while, and NOT buying the TiBook in March was a good choice. But now...that video car…

It could have been worse. Your cat could have actually pissed ON your new TiBook out of sheer feline jealousy, or ripped off some of the keys (someone's cat did that - over on the MacFixit boards)

I have to agree about the Apple mouse. My mom got one with her iMac. The design looks nice on top, but the bottom is bad:it just dragged on any surface we tried it on. I gave her an extra optical mouse I had, scrollwheel and all, and her enjoyment o…

I was at the Apple site to check out QuickTime 6 and got distracted by the things to read, including the fact sheet for MPEG-4. Combined with Steve J's comment in the C-Net article today that mp4 "blows away mp3", my first thought was that the ne…

All I know is that when there is a sly $200-300 sale on PowerPCs with no strings attached (i.e. purchase of another product) and the sale ends a week before Macworld NY...you gotta wonder what's coming next to take the place of the current crop.

In the best of all possible worlds, everyone should have a choice of a portable Mac tailored to a perfect fit of features and price. Barring winning the lottery tomorrow, a lot of TiBook hungry buyers will be going for an iBook, but at this point, f…

Since I just bought like 36,000 iBooks with my tax dollars (at last they are going for something good!) I wonder if a seventh-grader proof option will result after the kids get a chance to use them. Something sturdy but basic, with more sophisticate…
