  • did they even show the legends game on TV in the US? the funny thing is I heard ESPN is airing the game next week as a "classic", but I don't think they even bothered to show this game live. Really pathetic if that is true. well...at least the r…
  • the sleeve looks really nice, but it doesn't seem like it offers much "protection" I think I would feel a little awkward just wrapping my powerbook in fabric and throwing it in my bag. maybe if my bag had a laptop compartment... sorry, this is…
  • I found the 12" powerbook screen to be too small for me. I know I can always hook it up to a monitor/LCD but what happens when I can't? A friend of mine has the 12" and he is happy with it, although he says at times he wished it had a little more ju…
  • dslreports is a good place to find info about broadband service providers in your area. dslreports I use optimum online 8 Mb down 1 Mb up very nice and a great improvement over Verizon DSL. the thing with DSL is you have to figure out how…
  • Alaskan66, you might want to check out Electric Image as well.
  • A friend of mine has the Canon S230 and I really like the pictures that come out of his camera. I have a Canon G2, in auto mode both cameras take almost identical pictures. With the slight edge going to the G2. You might want to check out
  • Personally I would hold off from purchasing the new 17" Aluminum Powerbooks. I am always hesitant purchasing 1st revision Apple hardware. And these Powerbooks are new compared to the SuperDrive TiBooks. I would wait to see if there are any bugs that…
  • If I had not just bought the 1GHz TiBook in November I would get one of the new 17" Powerbooks. Man that is one nice machine (although it seems a bit bulky). The 12" Powerbook is sweet too. I'm pissed about that because my sister just bought the 800…

  • If you don't care about email or web then .mac isn't worth it. I like it because I can access my email anywhere I go. Some companies actually block yahoo and hotmail so it is almost impossible to access your personal email. .mac isn't really recogni…
  • if you look under "A" you will find: Apple Tech Support
  • Both the 867Mhz and 1 Ghz models will be more than adequate for design and web animations. The 1 Ghz model will be the better bet for Final Cut Pro. In terms of whether you should get the superdrive model or not? I am finding the superdrive to be a …
  • Macintouch seems to have a discussion about wireless network routers. Here is the
  • I've had nothing but trouble with LinkSys. My friends as well have had trouble with them and had to return their routers for replacements. I've recently been using SMC and have nothing but praise for them. Some of my friends use DLINK and they have …
  • now that's not very nice besides...no one knows when new PB's will be released. Waiting for something when you don't know when it arrives is just plain stupid. Better to use it now then to have nothing at all. - trowa
  • Homesite on Windows. BBEdit on the Mac. ALthough I am pretty impressed with the Information Architecture features in Golive 6. I'd use it just for that.
  • Sorry to hear about your PC and Mac. Though it might not be your computers. Make sure your PC and Mac are hooked up to surge protectors. I had a lot of friends fry their computers by neglecting to protect their computers from faulty electric outlets…

  • if you are doing heavy CAD work than I would go with the 1 GHz. Although there are more things to consider than just the CPU speed and cache (ie L2/L3 cache, video card, memory). Basically the same things Eskimo outlined above. The video card is def…
  • In terms of the 1 CCD miniDV cams the Sony TRV30 is the best of the bunch. If you can wait a little longer the Sony PC120 (the successor to the PC110) will be released shortly. It will have the exact same specs as the TRV30, but in a smaller package…
  • Maybe Apple/Steve Jobs saw all those iMovies you made and decided to delay your order? just kidding. I hope you receive your iMac soon. Just be patient, you'll forget the delay as soon as you open the box. - trowa
  • you have to look real carefully. the link for the free version is hidden on the product page. but it is there. I downloaded and installed it on my W2K machine. I'm not sure what they are trying to do. it sort of repulsed me when i saw the interfa…
