My first Apple computer, a new Powerbook will ship in 3 weeks. Do you think I will get 10.2.2 when it ships? Thanks, -Chris

My new Powerbook is going to be first Apple computer. Which 5400 RPM drive should I buy if I was going to upgrade it? Are there directions to do such an upgrade, including hardware installation and directions on reinstalling OSX and OS 9.1. Thank…

No one is abusing this discount. This discount is about as old news as the 500mhz Powerbook. I've known about it since then, and so have numerous people at Georgia Tech as well I'm sure many many other institutions. Just glad I waited to use it now,…

Just as a followup, the keyboard hasn't changed at all, except that it is recessed to avoid contact with the screen. This is from Jay in macnn.com, he has had a new Powerbook 1ghz for a couple weeks, or so I've heard. -Chris

Buying DVD-R's to avoid making the switch, damn that is beautiful. Technolust at its finest! -Chris

Mine is still in being reviewed. I'm assuming this is because my student ID/transcript is being processed to qualify my purchase for academic developer purchase. Anyone else in the same boat with their order being held as 'Being Reviewed'? I got the…

I purchased the top of the line powerbook today with my adc student membership deal. This is my first apple machine ever! A month ago I was going to buy, but the speculation kept me in check. What was another month to someone who had waited 24 years…

If you know it was off topic, then why continue to post it as a reply to this thread. This is worse than just posting a reply off-topic, this is malice. -Chris

Here's the new rule: You can't get upset about rumors that, in the very recent past, have been false. If I like what comes out the pipe on the 6th, I am going to make the PC->Apple switch. But there's no way I am going to get upset abo…

They have always shipped with the most recent public version of the operating system. They won't sell something like 10.2 to the public, then give you the old version and make you upgrade. That doesn't make too much sense from a customer service sta…

How could you buy a TiBook 800? The rumors are just as good as the TiBook. They give me the excitement of the TiBook without actually having to spend the money (lol). I am actually a PC user getting ready to switch when the new TiBooks come out. I h…

It's also a shame how people choose to use a forum for the future hardware of Apple as a platform to discuss a grammar issue such as contractions. From grammar to netiquite, it appears everyone is quite the screw up. -Chris

Trust the French? (hehe).

Its right here.

Thanks for the response. I guess I have waited all this time to become an Apple user, (hopefully) a couple more days won't matter. Then again I'd hate to see the lead time on those systems once they are released. Whats the usual turn-around time for…

A TiBook will be my first ever apple computer. Should I wait for the 1ghz models? How does OSX perform? Is 1ghz going to give me that last little boost that kills any lag I may experience? Thanks, -Chris
