New pook book sighted on a TV ad on CNN — #7

I don't care what the rumours say, or the hearsay, or the bloody typos at some of the sites. You can't put a G4 in a PowerBook yet! Have you felt the Pismos? They get damn hot - he…

To clarify, what I meant was that there is no way to use an Apple DVD-ROM drive with a PowerBook unless the PowerBook came with that DVD-ROM drive (because of the decoder kit). VS…

DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #3

OK, I think I am getting with the program. Had I ordered my 333mHz Lombard from Apple and had the DVD-ROM drive upgrade installed, it would have been $300 for the DVD-ROM drive an…

DVD-ROM Kit for Lomabard 333mHz? — #9

That's right, and this is one of the "keys" to trouble free DVD viewing. (No audio/video sync problems). A lot of my friends with G4's have this problem and it seems that the mai…
