  • Just to be picky, the Nokia number in the paragraph 4 should be 107,800,000.
  • It really depends on where you use the phone. I'm in the Raleigh/Cary area of North Carolina and I've only had a couple of dropped calls in 15 months with my 3G. FWIW, I'm actually not mad at AT&T. I'll probably stay with them when my contract i…

  • Had one issue with the update on my original Mac Pro - I lost a gig of RAM (fortunately only temporarily). There was only one reboot after the update and after I logged back in two of the original four 512MB DIMMs weren't showing up in System Profil…

  • I would call it an "ultra-portable" if it had a 12.1" screen and was one inch smaller in length and width. I know at least one potential customer who will probably not buy it because of the 13.3" screen (not me, my idea of a portable computer is my …

  • More like an air ball. Let's see... $1799 and slower than a $1299 MacBook but more expensive than the MacBook with 2GB RAM, no optical drive, smaller, slower HD. Only thing going for it is 3 lbs. vs 5 lbs. The solid-state drive option is simply too …
  • I'm sure glad I bought my Mac Pro with the X1900 XT when it first came out (never thought it would take so long for the next model), but I'll be in the market for a new display when they ship. I bought the 20" with the idea of relegating it to secon…

  • I am entirely satisfied with the X1900 XT in my Mac Pro.

  • Apple's keyboards haven't been the best since the legendary Apple Extended Keyboard II from the late 80s (which my wife still uses on her old 8500). I'm typing this on my Tactile Pro from Matias. Got it at smalldog.com and loving it. Not as good as …
  • Forget higher density displays until resolution-switching becomes truly viable. Apple has determined that a certain dpi is the way to go and will pretty much stick to it as the default setting. Sorta like their standard for the number of buttons on …
  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave If that's like the original Apple Extended Keyboard, that was the noisiest keyboard I ever used. I'd much prefer a PowerBook-like keyboard with scissor-key action. Have considered buying the Ice Key from MacAlly.…
  • You wanna pro keyboard? Try the Matias Tactile Pro: http://matias.ca/tactilepro/index.php It's $79 at Small Dog Electronics.
