  • The operating has a log file that lists what Apple software you have installed on your computer. You can view by going to the Software Update control pannel and clicking on the Installed Updates tab.
  • I think a 500MHz G3 is faster than a 600MHz Celeron, although if you plan on running OS X, you may want something faster than a 500MHz G3. How much do old G4 PowerBooks go for on eBay?
  • I figure by the time the G5 PowerBook comes out, my iBook will be over two years old, and I can justify upgrading. I'd be willing to spend $3000 on a PowerBook if it had a G5.
  • Speaking of iSight, mine should arrive Friday. Now if only I could use iChat AV to talk to my friends on Windows
  • An Airport Extreme card (802.11g) will allow you to connect to any 802.11b (WiFi) of 802.11g basestation. It won't allow you to use 802.11a (WiFi-5) basestations however, but very few places have them. Also, the Airport Extreme basestation and al…
  • Too bad half of the PowerBooks sold this quarter are going to have to be replaced do to serious manufactering defects. I hear Apple is even considering recalling the 15-inch model. Pretty serious, but I'm glad to see Apple's other revenue streams ar…
  • Wow. My father is looking to replace his old Compaq laptop with a PowerBook. He wanted to get a TiBook, but I told him he'd be better of waiting for one of the new AlBooks. After hearing about all the problems you guys are having, I think getting an…

  • I think they gave away free t-shirts to the first x number of visitors at last years Jaguar party. I didn't go, but maybe I'll go to this one. I haven't been to the Apple store in awhile. Still haven't had a chance to check out the new G5s.
  • Anyone who doesn't buy AppleCare for a $2500 machine is a fool in my opinion. If it breaks, and you're out of warranty, you're screwed. Laptops are fragile pieces of electronics, so the chance of something breaking over the course of three years is …
  • Come on guys, Apple isn't going to charge for iTunes for Windows. Apple has done some stupid thngs in the past, but they're not that stupid. The will make more money for music store sales by giving away for free than the would charging for it. Use c…
  • Yeah, these new commercials are definitely better than old ones. I'm glad Apple has finally found success outside of its traditional nitch market with this device. Here's hoping they will remain a dominant in the music player market. No one's been a…
  • I think we'll see one of those real soon. I know there's one for Apple Expo.
  • Yeah, I'll stick with iMovie for now until they fix this thing.
  • Quote: Originally posted by /mandolux/ ...you could donate it to me I use a Sun Ultra 1 200E with 512MB RAM as my web server. Haha, no. I got this thing for $150 and I here they're worth $1000. I'm holding on to it. Between Solaris, L…
  • Hmm, system requirements list a 667MHz G4. I wonder if it will run on slower machines, namely mine.
  • Definitely MacCentral. They're the only Mac news site which does actual reporting.
  • If you just compare the performance of the regular Athlon 64 to the regular 3.2GHz P4, AMD does pretty well. These chips are really the only ones you should be looking at, since both the Athlon 64 FX and P4 EE are nothing more than overclocked, re-b…
  • Yeah, battery life is low because Apple is using cheaper batteries. I think the old TiBooks used 61WH batteries, the new ones use 46WH batteries. Kind of blows.
