  • I want what Blackcat said. Now technically I am meant to be keeping this TiBook until the new intel PowerBooks, but since my TiBook has started going mental (not waking from sleep, or waking and then freezing, or waking, screen goes a bit shakey-men…
    in Realistic Wishlist for new PowerBooks Comment by hewligan June 2005
  • I bought an Apple refurb 1GHz Ti about 3 weeks ago (in the UK). Here are your answers: 1. is it noisy? Nope - the fan runs at times, but very quiet (at least compared to my PC 2. how long does it last on a fully charged bettery? Not ent…
    in PowerBook 1GHz TiBook - Purchasing Advice Comment by hewligan October 2003
  • I just bought a *new-ish* PowerBook yesterday. It was the OLD Titanium PowerBook 1 GHz/512 MB/60 GB/SuperDrive etc... model from the UK Refurb Store. It cost me £300 less than the current low-end PowerBook, and to me seemed like an amazing deal. …
    in Who is buying a new PowerBook? Comment by hewligan September 2003
  • Erm... WoW. The best news for me will be if this does happen (along with a 15inch PowerBook update), as I am going to be just about able to drop £1500 on a new Apple machine this summer to replace the iBook I sold in January (to pay off my postgr…
    in Apple leaks G5 specs Comment by hewligan June 2003
  • on my iBook 600 I get consistently around 4.7 times conversion rate. I encode at 160, which seems pretty standard (160 or 192 seem to be more popular around here than 128). I am pretty pleased by the speed I get encoding. Not bad for a laptop! …
    in Post your iTunes convert to MP3 times Comment by hewligan January 2002
  • Holy cow, I used Amos too! I got as far as making the animated sprites and adding collision detection, etc., but then I lost interest in it and spent the next year working on an animation instead. The Amiga rocked ! Hewligan

  • Scott H: yawn ... relentless .... monotonous .... troll. Nothing to say, so he trolls. I am not sure why you spend so long defending Apple against him. If you want to play games all the time then buy a console! Hewligan
    in the graphic card of the new i mac is better Comment by hewligan January 2002
  • I feel his pain. Last Friday I ordered a completely stock iBook DVD from the Apple store here in the UK. It said 1 day build on it. I also got virtual PC at the same time (educational discount) with a 2 day wait. Okay, 3 days later it still said "be…
    in My friend's Combo Drive iBook order Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Hi Leonis! Well, you are a lucky boy! I would back up your current leanings and say: Go for a dual processor Athlon board (1.2GHz or whatever). Plug in 512mb of DDR and a fast Hard Drive. The Graphics card depends on your work style, but probably…
    in What I can get for $3000 US? Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Wow, that is an impressive piece of art. One little piece of advice - the shadow under the chin peaks too high, should probably peak a little lower. Other than that is is DAMN COOL!
    in I drew a pitcture I think you guys would enjoy :) Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • MacUser UK - It comes out ever two weeks, has great reviews, well written articles, up to date news and very good "how to do XYZ" articles (such as - how to write a stock market spreadsheet in Appleworks with Applescript that will update prices each…

  • Current Desktop Duron 800 LaCie Electron 22 Blue Radeon SDR (overclocked) 256 MB SDRAM 20 Gig Maxtor This was a "build it myself" job, made for very little money in the spring (so that I could run certain PC software for college) Current La…
    in Your Mac (or PC) Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Okay, I am doing this from memory, but: Press: Apple key & "I" (at the same time) on the ICON. Go to the picture of the icon (on top left). Select it. Press: control & "c" (at the same time) to copy. Close the window. Press: Apple key …
    in Changing icons Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Okay, I assume you have the drive media in the CDRW? Make sure it is a copy of MacOS that your machine can boot from. If it is in and restarting with "c" held down is not working then you could try the following: Hold down "option" on startup an…
    in Booting up my G3 PB with 3rd party drive Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • I am a foreigner (British), but I spent two years in New York City during Mayor Giuliani's time in office and I would like to say the following: 1) I did not agree with everything he stood for. He was a consumate politician and often went hunting…
    in Mayor Giuliani named Time magazine's Person of the Year... Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Yeah, obviously sourceforge would be the best place to coordinate the actual development trees, but I was thinking more that a site to bring the community together, to discuss projects, etc.... Sourceforge is a great resource and it would be stup…
    in Possible proposal: OSX developer site to co-ordinate projects Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • Thanks guys! I think I will get the upgrade version with the USB mic (£35 is the cheapest I have found it in the UK, but that is less than an iMic, so it seems economical). Glad to hear that it is more accurate. Millenium was okay, but not brilli…
    in ViaVoice for OS X - comments please Comment by hewligan December 2001
  • I don't need one at the moment (new iBook), but I think that this time next year, when it gets its second bump in features and my current desktop needs replacing .... well then I will just in and buy one. One thing is that first generation models…
    in NEW "Sunflower" iMac: Your thoughts and purchase intent? Comment by hewligan January 2002
  • They have the same deal here in the UK, but it is £60 off (and you need to buy an accessory at the same time, but they have lots of accessories, and some are real cheap). I decided to go for it. I also got the student discount, so in total I got abo…
