I would agree with kndonlee that a desktop is faster, but if you are on a limited budget (unlike some people on these boards) that is not always an option, expecially with Apples p…

Why the heck did you buy the iBook? Especially the 500? Granted it's smaller, but it's virtually the same computer sans a few pounds and monitor spanning. You shoulda just waite…

I actually didn't buy the iBook. It's my work machine. It's basically my machine but I don't own it. In about a year from now I will be allowed to buy the computer at "market va…

When's your next work computer due?

They don't tell us ahead of time when the new computers are coming. I think with the last iBook it was supposed to last 18 months but ended up going for over 2 years. This iBook …

I think this is a Peripherals topic.
I wouldn't recommend those Microsoft keyboards with buttons. The buttons don't work with the Mac, and the touch isn't excellent, either.

In recent months, my good old Firewire PowerBook G3 seems to have taken on a mind of its own. Often, when I put it to sleep, it will immediately wake up. Sometimes it then goes b…
