Alrighty guys, I'll chime in. I picked up my 15" ultimate version from the Apple store last night and it has been pretty good. First couple things to note: 1. The 100gb 7200rpm …

Thanks for the info. Similarly to MacBoudille (the shots there aren't terribly good), a shot of a previous 15" side by side, or your iBook as well, if possible, would be great. If …

Interesting thread! I'm trying to decide which drive to order my 15" Powerbook with. The conclusion so far is, based upon what I've read here and other places (please correct me if…

One thing I'll say, the Seagate 100GB 5400rpm hard drive in my Powerbook is extremely quiet, I don't even hear anything when it's writing. I had an IBM T43p that had a 60gb 7200rpm…

you gotta ask yourself, how much time is it going to be pluged in and how much time is it going to be on battery, if its mostly going to be pluged in get the better preformer.

Yeah, I agree with striker100: I'd go for a slower but quieter drive any day. By the way, striker100, did that 100 Gbyte Seagate drive you have come in a new G4 Powerbook, or the …

My reading is that: 1) The 2.5" internally-installed 7200rpm Hitachi drive is around 50% faster than the stock Seagate 5400rpm drive. From the site: "Replace the HD will take twen…

I'd like to run my own mail server off my OS X box at home (Panther Server.) Unfortunately my ISP blocks port 25 in order to reduce spam. Is there any way to get around port 25 be…

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do that. You can easily change the port. Unfortunately, everyone sending mail to you won't know where you've moved to. And outbound will sti…

Thanks for the response. Back when I was on ISDN I ran an email server off my Debian box. Guess that's because it was ISDN- who'd run a spamming business off of that? This articl…

Well that's kind of what I was talking about. You can move off of port 25, but you have to have a relay or some other gateway upstream that does the port 25 to port relay for you.…

I'm using just the static (more or less) IP from my ADSL line. I'm using No-IP to reverse DNS(?) whatever.whatever.net to my IP at home. With ISDN it worked great; just a few chang…

Anyone with a server on the Internet can relay email for you. Maybe you can set up a trade with someone. Could be worth a post on the postfix or sendmail mailing list- you'll probl…

Gavin thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out

Yahoo BB is now blocking outgoing traffic on port 25? Man, how times are changing... guess with the 100mbit optical lines (they do optical now, I assume), they've probably had to c…

Have you tried contacting your ISP and asking them to stop blocking that port? How about using port 587? They don't block that port, generally. I emailed my ISP so I could use m…

I doubt Yahoo BB would unblock port 25. They have like 50 zillion customers in Japan now, and somehow I doubt they'd do that just for me. Using port 587 though ... hmmm .....
