    in lock screen: how? Comment by pais February 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by icruise: The tibook is a fine machine. Definitely. Even though I just got my 12", I still envy owners of the 1 GHz PowerBook. The new models don't take anything away from the old ones; in fact, Titanium is now a class…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Luca Rescigno: Meaning it's possible that he actually installed OS X on the stock 603e processor. Hey, it's possible, just unbelievably slow. I ran OS X on a PowerMac 7500 with a 200 MHz 604e with no L2 cache in it once.…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: I don't think you can argue that the libretto is very useable. Sure I can. I used one daily for 1.5 years. To continue straying off topic, I'm just picking nits over terminology. I just think calling the …

  • [quote]Originally posted by Aquatic: It's just semantics, I haven't seen ANY notebook as small as the PBG4 12" that you can actually USE. It IS a subnotebook. I'll take a chance and disagree. Before I got this 12" PowerBook, I owned a Toshiba …

  • [quote]Originally posted by FrostyMMB: Build your own, seriously. I agree. Unless this is a purchase for a business (where service and support can be more important than price/performance), roll your own PC, don't buy a Dell (ew). I have a Power…

  • [quote]Originally posted by thegelding: the 12" PB and 20" lcd are about the same price.... I know I'm a bit off-topic, but keep in mind that you can NOT use the 12" PowerBook with any of Apple's ADC displays out-of-the-box. Using one through a…
    in Apple LOWERED eMac and iMac by $200!!! Comment by pais February 2003
  • Thanks a lot! I still think it would be a heat issue -- can't imagine why a single display (CRT or not) would be that much slower than driving two displays. At any rate, it's too bad we can't drive the new 20". That's a sweet price.
    in PowerBook 12" Dual Display Performance (in Japanese) Comment by pais January 2003
  • After filtering through Babelfish's comically mangled output, I gathered a little more data. Again, it would be helpful if someone could confirm this -- I'm just shooting from the hip. It appears that when the PowerBook is set to sleep and connec…

  • [quote]Originally posted by Aquatic: I can't use my 3" CDs can I? I think the 80mm CD format is popular overseas -- interestingly, I've seen some "attachments" in a few Japanese bookstores that essentially make an 80mm CD the same size as a regu…

  • You bought a SuperDrive model in person at an Apple Store? Didn't know they even had those in stock!
