  • I have an iSight. Bought one for my parents, who also have a mac running OS X. It works like a DREAM. We've been able to lower the minutes on our cell phones, for we do talk frequently. Should pay for itself before the end of a year's time. You …

  • Take out your 3rd-party RAM, and re-boot. Exact same thing happened to me.

  • The HP 1300 is a wonderful laser printer - I've got the 1300n. If you look around, you might find one refurbished for cheap. Try dealmac, froogle.com, or macprices.com. Most Mac retail sites have a hot deals section, with discontinued merchandise. …

  • Never mind - it's part of Quickeys - a utility I can't live without. Oh well.

    in Just saw new iPod commercial Comment by francisg3 October 2003
  • Why is Apple showing only black people listening to their iPods, with their respective music? I see about 10 people a day walking around the city with their iPods. And maybe, one in 20 are black. As for the actors in the spots, they were mov…

  • I've used an EXCELLENT CRM called DayLite. It is ten thousand times better than the Mac "Category Leader," Now Contact and Up-to-Date. DayLite is an excellent program for people in sales who want to track their leads, contacts, the sales process, an…

  • Thank for the replies!! I filed complaints with PayPal on both these losers. One of them refunded my money - $527. The other guy (subject of this post, who sold me the educational version) hasn't been heard from. I've filed a case on him via …

  • It looks like I got ripped off again - although for only $520. Look at this auction I won - a feedback rating of 107. But notice, all his auctions have been done in the last six weeks. He's building up for the big rip-off - me. Funny, I can't…

  • Quote: How did you get screwed $1800? I let a guy use PayPal, come over to my house, and take the computer. Then the transaction got reversed - it was a hijacked account. (kind of my fault - I wasn't vigilant enough). Turns out PayPal will prot…

  • I also used the worst form of payment in the world - PayPal. I'm initiating the buyer complaint process. I'm torn about what to do on the feedback - I don't want this loser to retaliate and give me negative feedback. Anyone else resolve a situat…

  • Well, I have used both, and I will say the 17" one feel TOO big. When I'm typing, it feels like my arms are resting on an LP record. As for carrying it around, of course it's more of a pain than the 15." Initially, I thought they were a little overp…
    in PowerBook 15" vs 17" Comment by francisg3 September 2003
  • I used to partition my drive 2 ways. Essentially, my home folder was the second partition. I loved it! Searches were faster, data was easier to back up. I stopped doing it after iDVD2 wouldn't work with iMovie, because of it. I'm debating whethe…

  • Same here. I'm using a 15" iMac, and moving the display around is addictive, since I'm always shifting in my chair, standing up, slouching, etc. I've used a fixed 17" display, and liked it all right at the time. After using my iMac, I detest tho…

  • Just bought my father a 1 GHz Combo drive model - got all kinds of goodies with it - plus 2 iSight cameras for us. I sent it to Florida, and I'm flying there next week to help show him how to use OS X. I'm kind of worried, because OS 9 is all he…

  • I wouldn't worry about it. Just that it's my understanding you won't be eligible for future upgrades.
