The CompUSA up the road from me has two 450mhz cubes still. I want a cube, but they're still asking $1399 for them, and I've seen em much cheaper online. I also want the dvd mode…

I've seen them go for around $900 on eBay (450Mhz / DVD). Not much of a performance diff between 450Mhz and 500Mhz though. A more noticeable boost will be from the graphics card …

Anyone ? Please ... Alessandro

I had a problem where a "buzz" sound would appear at regular intervals; not sure if it's the same thing you're getting. My problem came from the mass of wires coming down verticall…

This is interesting. I went to state farm and ended up getting what they call the Inland Marine Policy for a $50 premium for $2,225 worth of coverage (and $100 deductible). It co…

what the inland marine policy is..is for business. If you dont have a business then you wouldnt need this policy. I have FULL COVERAGE including theft, breakage, mechanical failure…

You know, I spoke to a State Farm representative about insuring my laptop and the cost was $1.00 per $100 of insured value. Therefore, a $3500 powerbook would cost $35 to insure, …

well, even if your ibbok cost only $1500, aren't you paying a tad much for insurance? i mean, you could buy a three year apple care protection program for as much as you'd be payin…

but good ol apple won't replace my ibook for spilling coffee on it or dropping it.

The insurance covers that?!? wow, sounds good to me. You're covered if you break in any way than, right?

yes isnt that great?!

I have a travel-tech policy from SF, as well as Apple Care, on top of my Renters. All in all, I pay about $128 a year for my coverage. The travel-tech policy or option says that …

I have not used the bag you mentioned, but I went through a similar dilemma when I got my new iBook. I looked at a dozen different bags (look at older threads around mid-December)…
