I still got a better deal purchasing my iBook through my educational institution. 12" iBook @ 900MHz: Online Canada Apple Store: $1999.00 Online Canada Apple Education Store: $1899.00 My Campus Store: $1775.00 So make sure to look aro…

Yeah, it seems as if Apple would not consider one stuck (?white) pixel as reason for repair or replacement. I bought the iBook from an authorised Apple dealer, and I assume the dealer would take the same stance on it as well, especially seeing as th…

Apple's website seems to indicate that some dead pixels within a reasonable amount is considered acceptable. So I wonder if a dealer would take it back and replace it on those grounds. Rubbing it doesn't help. I thought dead pixels were supposed …

Quote: Originally posted by Brad Yes, it does. However, it only runs fsck once. Sometimes if there is a little more extensive damage, fsck needs to be run several times. This is why I strongly encourage all users to enable journaling. Does …

Quote: Originally posted by RazzFazz Actually, as far as I understand it, OS X does invoke fsck on every bootup, and checks if any file system was not unmounted cleanly, and in that case does a full check. It just doesn't tell the user about it. …

Quote: Originally posted by RazzFazz I haven't really used XP home, but given its target market, I wouldn't think it's that big a deal. Does it not support ACLs at all, or does it just format your disk as FAT32 by default? It's crippled to FAT…

Aww, I figured it was hopeless. Thanks for the responses.

Not to worry, I have a degree in Computer Science, so yeah, some of it was misinformed but we all do it once in a while. The unresponsiveness I speak of is due to Aqua. Quartz Extreme may help, but OSX does not reach the same level is speediness …

This is to all of you: When this happens, try closing the iBook and opening it back up again. Does that fix it?

As it happens I just had to go through the procedure for the first time to upgrade my 900MHz iBook to 384MB RAM. Follow the instructions on the Apple website or the manual that came with your unit. The two biggest hurdles: 1. As stated above, …
