Steer clear of this computer, for another 150 you can get a powerbook off an edu discount, or find an apple refurb with a better processor.
Their bizrate ratings are not great, a …

your sister should be able to walk into an apple store, if you like, say "i'd like one of these" ... then show proof of affiliation.

Hi Apple, it's Scott. My Powerbook has a problem, AGAIN — #1
Had to call apple again today. Was using my PB (550 G4) when I got a black scrolling line and a flicker in the screen. It happened a few times.
Now, this is an almost 2 year old…

Persistent. Keep bugging Apple Care til they break (give u the al-book 1Ghz combo as compensation) or you break. (ur lust over 1.25Ghz al-book overcomes your sense) ^_^"

Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Kidding aside, Scott-- you did get AppleCare, and you're not paying a cent, right?
What a pain! I generally have had only 2 out of 7 sy…

And what operating system will you run on this IBM laptop??
Hi Apple, it's Scott. My Powerbook has a problem, AGAIN — #7
IBM makes the highest quality laptops on the planet, but they're also the most expensive...and you have to run XP. Is it worth it, Scott?
Everyone should use the tool that best en…

My last experience with IBM laptops was with 4 Thinkpad i1200s. They were rather unpleasant little machines, with ME installed. I can understand them being buggy and unreliable bec…

Scotttheking, a program I would recommend to you is Norton Ghost. It makes an image of your entire computer "programs, files, registry" and you can put this on a cd, dvd, or even …

Do what I did. Call up Apple, tell them you're tired of sending your Ti in for repair every two months, that this is unacceptable, and demand a new laptop. Thats how I got my AlBoo…

Your machine may qualify for Apple's trade in program. It'll get you $700 towards a new machine. Or you could just demand a new machine.

As much as I love Apple, I have to admit that situations such as yours Scott certainly show that Apple is far from perfect.
I wouldn't be too hesitant about demanding a new machi…

Frankly, I've been shocked by the recent posts coming from Scott. Are we at all certain that he hasn't been replaced with a Microsoft cyborg?
Hi Apple, it's Scott. My Powerbook has a problem, AGAIN — #18
The box is here, I'll be shipping the laptop out Monday. There are 3 reasons I didn't ask for a replacement. First, it'd be very hard to get stuff like my ram, airport card, and …
