  • Quote: So maybe the solution is to use EarthLink, but at the same time, to not use them... Hey, I didn't know Mr. Kerry frequented AppleInsider! Although, with all the goo-goo-eyed groupies he has over in AO, I guess I shouldn't be surpr…
  • THANK you. I was going to lobby to become a moderator just so I could ban his Cher-quoting ass. Get Brad to put that in the posting guidelines: "Quoting has-been pop stars who've gone under the knife more than 15 times is a bannable offens…
  • The entire notion of actually "getting help from a qualified person" is absolutely going to hell on a bobsled...and has for years now (in person, over the phone, etc.). Jeez. It's really sad, actually. All these companies - for "cost cutting meas…
  • As far as Apple offering a "bargain basement" computer (and that being some end-all/be-all "switcher" machine), I think that's just not true. Apple could offer a 1GHz G4 headless iMac (or whatever you want to call it) for $199 and - while we all …
  • You'd think during freshman orientation (or whatever the hell that type of thing is called), there would be half a day devoted to "BACK YOUR STUFF UP, DORKS!" seminars and real-life horror story testimonials from upper-classmen. It boggles th…

  • Quote: Originally posted by iDave I'm happy to see so many positive comments about the current updated PowerBooks. Typically there have been so many like "I'm not about to get a notebook until they put a G5 in there." As a result, I was getting sic…
  • Quote: Originally posted by jwri004 Does anyone know what I can do with the 600 floppies I have cluttering up my place? Do you know someone with a USB floppy drive you can use for a few hours? 600 floppies would roughly equal about ONE CD, so I…
    in floppies? Comment by pscates April 2004
  • Well that's cool. Yeah, in a situation like this you may as well go balls-out (looking out at the next four years or so). With that hard drive and that graphic card, you should easily be happy with it for a LONG time...
  • Quote: Originally posted by Cubit On this occasion I'm with you pscates. Well okay then.
  • I don't use it at my desk anymore, as I finally bought an external keyboard (but I'll tell you this: Apple should make their Pro keyboards have the lighting because now, frankly, typing in my darkened room at night is a pain-in-the-butt because I ca…
  • I've got the opposite: wired Apple keyboard and Apple Bluetooth mouse. I never got the appeal of the Bluetooth keyboard, EXCEPT for looks/clean-looking desk. The way my keyboard shelf sits (and slides) below my desktop, you don't really even see the…
  • Yep, in fact Apple should STOP making desktops period. [ducks and hides from all the tower geeks]
  • In your case, I'd get the 12" SuperDrive PowerBook. Then ask for a display for Christmas.
  • Well, if you're serious about jumping on a G5-based PowerBook in the next 12-18 months (and yes, people...that's probably about how long it'll be so shut up about 'em already ), then maybe getting the 12" is the thing to do, viewing it as a "stopg…
  • I'd say do it, BRussell...especially since you freely admit you're not really requiring G5-level horsepower. You say it at the start of your post perfectly: a machine you can bring home at the end of the day. Why not? As long as the company is…
  • Sure seems that way...sigh.
  • Is it just a fun thing to do for many of you to simply make shit up and lie about "sources" you like to pretend you have? Kinda sad, really. The digital equivalent of a red sportscar and hair plugs? Some sort of ego/confidence booster and att…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Harald Sometimes they make you sign stuff they're serious about, and you have to grow up. So, buhbye factual gossip from this point on. Next year, Sony Ericsson phones will iSync with iPhoto and iTunes. And QuickTim…
  • I agree. It's pretty obvious to most - a quick spin through the specs page will confirm - that there already is enough of a difference between the two lines. Hell, appearances alone (the rugged, thicker plastic of the iBook for school and whatnot…
