  • We just bought an NEC 2510A at the office, got it off CDW for $85 (they cut us deals for our corporate account), but even retail right now is $96.25, not bad, but shipping estimate is 2+ weeks (ours took almost a month to get here after we ordered i…
  • definitely an excellent idea, so excellent that I wouldn't speak of it again in public until you get a patent on it. hehe seriously As far as OLEDs are concerned, I think the more appropriate technology would be something like eInk, http://www…
  • It comes every tuesday, and you may not get the email by default. Once you've entered your account information, click the "account" button in the upper-right hand side of the music store's window. It should say account on the far right-hand s…
  • WOOOO-HOOOOOO! No need to pay me, I'm more than happy to help. Same thing happened to me when I got my processor back from powerlogix after I did the upgrade. I just didn't put two-and-two together until you mentioned having removed the cpu card …
  • OOOH! Hey! Take the processor card out again, remove the RAM from the top slot. Put the card back in and press REALLY HARD down on it just over the socket. It won't "click" but you will definitely feel it seat. Then put the RAM back in the top slot …
  • Sorry to hear about the powerbook! I can only recommend trying to reset the power manager, and trying to boot it again. The button is on the back, next to the modem port. If that doesn't work, then I have no idea from here. As far as your harddri…
  • it's deviously simple to set up. As Bobw said, you're pretty much limited to the number of graphics cards you want to buy. But Bobw forgot that the newest Powermacs actually have five slots, one agp and four pci. so if you put a dual-head graphics c…
  • I would recommend getting up and running under OS X before getting the processor upgrade. That way, if there is anything wrong with the processor, it'll be easier to diagnose as a hardware problem as opposed to teething pains from a new os. So insta…
  • Like anything else that is returned, if it is not doa, or otherwise in need of repair, they re-sell it in the store as "open box" for 10% off.
  • All you need to do to make it ignore the internal screen is to keep the sleep sensor tripped. The sleep sensor detects when the display is closed, and, normally puts the machine into sleep mode. However, if you start the machine with the lid clo…
  • Um, you can't. and that's that. Well, you could, theoretically, remove the chip that holds the firmware and replace it with a fresh one, but unless you've had some experience with micro-soldering, then that's not a very smart proposition. …
  • Um, I rather liked the review. Very post-modernist, and a little more stream-of-consciousness than I'm used to. Regardless of the style, he has some good points. And I think his description the palo alto apple store, and the mac-heads in it (along w…
  • Absolutely gorgeous, just bought my first 18 songs from the iTunes Music store, found a smattering of artists across most of the genres I enjoy, and they all sound quite good. It is entirely too easy to drop about $20 at a time without thinking a…
  • I guess I'll share my repair experience as well? In 1996 I had to have a multiscan 15" crt display replaced, the blue gun died. A quick call to apple, and a newer multiscan 15AV arrived three days later, Apple told me just to chuck the old one. T…
  • perhaps off-topic, perhaps not... I had a friend who bought an ibook about three years ago. It was a Graphite SE, clamshell. He was convinced it was defective, saying it would crash frequently, go buggy, and that the hard drive made alot of noise…
  • here it is, so you don't have to bother becoming a member. Looks familiar, I think someone is up to their old tricks again. ciao, michael
  • Also, the goodie doesn't yet exist. As it says on the website, they "could" build it if enough people are interested in it, but they haven't yet. click on the link that asks "is this the next googie product" just under the description. http://…
  • In graphic design, it's said that bad design is more expensive than good design. To save a few bucks in materials, or printing, or design you lose in future customers. Something like a computer, a multi-thousand dollar investment, deserves a grand u…
