I don't think colored PowerBook would help sales at all. Most people (Pros especially) already love the Al finish as it is. Colored iBook was available for a while, did they help…

there is already a thread here..

yes...maybe bad idea

User customizable covers are already available for some powerbooks/books: http://www.macskinz.com/

I recently (november) did a clean install of panther on my PB. I have put a lot of programs on there that are pretty big (final cut, dvd studio, other creative apps) and the compu…

How often do you run the cron jobs? If your computer is turned off every night and started up in the morning, chances are (unless you have changed the settings for cron) that they …

Try running top in terminal or use Activity monitor to see what is using your cpu%. I have seen WeatherPop go whacked and suck up all remaining cpu time. For that reason, I quit us…

MacJanitor seems to have cleared up the issues. I put my laptop to sleep at night so I was missing all cron jobs. thanks.

you can also change the time the cron jobs run. No need to add yet another program to do this for you in terminal, you can type: sudo pico /etc/crontab then put in the admin pa…

I am looking into some external Hard drives and was can't remember if I have USB 2.0 or not, how can I find out? Thanks!

If your processor is 1.33 Ghz ( aka. rev. B) then you have it, otherwise you have standard USB. You can check that under about this mac that is under the blue apple at the top lef…

Edited

If you go under system profiler and click USB in the left hand menu it will tell you. It'll say something like USB USB Highspeed USB

Hey, I have a new 15" Al PB that won't charge when plugged in. Its fully plugged in and is only about a couple months old. I'm not sure why its not charging. I haven't tried much c…

Long shot: Try Cmd-Opt-O-F at startup. Then type reset-nvram, and hit the Return key, and then type reset-all. This is something I have come across in my travels, not something I…

I am also assuming that the charge is below 95%, as they won't charge when higher than this level.

I think it may be the ac adapter for it. I'll go to my local apple store.

I'm going to bet it's the AC adapter, I'm on my third one. They don't seem to be the best quality. The one I have now makes a humming noise when it's charging. Good news is Apple c…

I just thought it might be nice to post something good about the current crop of PowerBooks in lieu of all of the negative posts recently. Yes there are plenty of fully functional,…

Yes. My Rev b has been rock solid. The only problem I had was self-induced when I put in bad ram. I am using this machine a lot too and it has taken many road trips and few air …

My 17" is great, no issues, i bring it back and forth from work, whip it out at various B&N/starbucks, as well as at friend's apartments, city parks, and skateparks.. Although…

My rev A 17" is perfect. Absolutely no issues since I received it in May '03.

mine is great too, not one problem at all... Rev A too.

No problems on my PB17 Rev. A. The sizzling stopped after a few weeks; one Kernel panic in 6 months. Installed the firmware upgrade for my Superdrive-no problems there either.

My pb is a week and 1 day old and seems completely perfect! ...*knocks on wood in fear of whitespots*
