  • Good thing to know... what do you guys think about QuakXpress performance on a 17"... SuperMacTech?... Personally, I hate Quark, but unfortunately I've had to use it once in a while, and it always runs better when you boot from OS 9. I think that…

    in Are NEW Powerbooks in the apple stores yet? Comment by ransomed January 2003
  • I think those who ask for more than that little book has to offer are totally missing the point of the product: The very size of its screen tells you: "Hey!!! I'm not a heavy Photoshop machine!!!", I mean, I'm sure it can handle all your every d…

    in Who will get the 17" Powerbook? Comment by ransomed January 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by makrell: The cons: larger book, first revision, the money, having to have the very best equipment, and the tasteless backlit keyboard effect. [ 01-14-2003: Message edited by: makrell ] Tasteless keyboard effect?…
    in Who will get the 17" Powerbook? Comment by ransomed January 2003
  • I'm definitely gonna get it. I might have to move a few mountains here and there to earn the money, but it's definitely worth it for me. You see I do a lot of creative work (web design to video producing/editing - you name it I do it) and I go acros…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Splinemodel: When I get my new PB in the mail, I'm buying a 1740 to run dual monitor with. I've seen them in person, and they don't look as physically good as the Apple Displays, but if you ask me the picture quality is…

    in PB w/ Combo or SuperDrive?... Comment by ransomed December 2002
  • Very cool indeed... but I think if it's not useful enough Apple probably wouldn't go for it.
    in "iMac, pivot left...tilt up..." Comment by ransomed December 2002
  • I bought an iMac on may 2002, and it's been very cool. I use it for Photoshop all the time and it's decently fast (working between 150 and 300 dpi). I have an 800 Mhz G4, 512 MB RAM and SuperDrive. iMovie is pretty fast too. When you export for DVD,…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Bioflavonoid: I got my PBook today (1GHz, 1GB ram, Superdrive) and the fan is a lot less quiet than past models. I think you would be impressed. I think you might mean a lot MORE quiet...?
    in How loud are the new PBooks? Comment by ransomed December 2002
  • Perhaps, but the only cloth I have EVER used on my iMac's LCD is the one that came with it. It's the ONLY one I trust not to scratch my screen. There is a polishing treatment out there called iKlear. Check out

    in New PB's Suspiciously low in price...? Comment by ransomed November 2002
  • WOW! I must confess that when I saw this beautiful piece of work on the Apple homepage I started drooling... I mean: 1 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, SuperDrive? It's enough to make you go insane... but alas! there are a couple of points to consider. First let m…
