Oh, in regards to having the keyboard off to disburse heat, I don't do it every night. It's not like I'm popping the thing off every few minutes to cool the thing down. Plus, I am …

Same with the Ti400 I've used a lot... its a ridiculously hot machine. To a stupid extent. Heh. It's a laptop? Only if you're masochistic.

yep. IBM it is. it's been over a year since i bought it, so i doubt apple would replace it under warranty, right? anyone have any experience with having drives replaced after warra…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least on my Psimo, doesn't the fan blow out, not suck in? It hasn't come on in over a year, so I can't quite remember. Quote: Original…

I have a Pismo 400/640MB/30GB but I also have an iBook 500/256/10 combo drive. I find myself bringing the iBook EVERYWHERE and leaving the Pismo on my desk. Since my Pismo is eff…

I'd really recommend getting a desktop. It's faster, has the ability to do just a tad bit more than a regular laptop would. I have a pismo and Ti... wish I would've gotten a desk…

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…

Also I recall that keyboard in Costco being black, even though all the pictures of it that I see online (I think it's the Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) show it in white. I thin…

(I should probably add this as an edit instead all these new posts, but i have tons to say.) Also I do have a FW hard drive. In the fall of 2000 i bought the Pyro enclosure and a…

Waffffffle, yee be a luckier man than I! Can't argue with the prices your getting on a steady stream of Mac laptops. You didn't give the whole story. If you're certain that y…

Yes I do agree that work treats me very well. They give me computers every 2 years, which is great. If only my salary was better... I bought the PowerBook in the sumer of 2000, b…

I think we'll finally see a selection of G4 upgrades for the Pismo over the course of 2002 (if you really want to spend some of your own cash.) 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. Th…

Those buttons really don't work with a Mac? You sure? Isn't the driver based on USB overdrive? Shouldn't that make all of the buttons capable of doing something?

I heard somewhere that there would be Rage Pro support in OS X 10.2. This would mean that Open GL would be enabled in older imacs and powerbooks as Apple originally promised with O…

Hi guys and girls... as you all can see, I'm new. My first question tho isn't a very simple one, so let's start. As student, everybody will agree, you naturally don't have a lot …

I think upgrading a 1400c at this point has diminishing returns. The 1400c was a venerable notebook when it was new, but it's pretty useless for even today's office applications. F…

List it on e-bay and put the proceeds towards either an iBook or a Titanium. rh

Well, I'm not making any plans on listing my new Laptop on ebay again, I just bought it there. Let's set this clear: I don't have the money to buy an iBook, even not a used one. […

Word 5 and ClarisWorks 4 are stellar for older machines. Also look into the iCab browser, and Eudora lite 3 as an email client. They all run nicely in low resource environments.

That's a good tip, I'll try to find those. As said, It's just a better typewriter for me at first, maybe something more when it really suites me. But I'm not going to spend $800 fo…
