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 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*

My 17" REV A has screen arthritis in cold weather. There are pinstripe vertical black lines that fizzle when I first turn it on or wake it from sleep, but this clears up in a few m…

I got my rev A 17" in April? can't remember. But it's been almost a year of using it at work, home, everywhere I go. I've had absoultely no problems at all. It has never let me dow…

Hi all, If you were going to get a 1.25 Al PB, which mail-order company would you order from? who would you stay away from? Extras is no biggie. Thanks!!

I have always felt most comfortable and confident with PowerMax. You can rest assured that your CSR will follow through and be there after your purchase as well. I've even paid a l…

I bought a 15" 1.25GHz PB from the Apple store and it took me two months and a lot of phone calls to get mine. Don't get one direct from Apple unless you want to get a BTO and wai…

Just a quick question... My new PB15 is flawless(ish) and I can't be happier EXCEPT that the bottom right 2-3 keys on the keyboard were sticking up. As in raised above the height …

It's a common problem with these machines: poorly-installed keyboards. See, for example, these threads on Apple's boards: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...2W.1@.599ba00d a…

Thanks bamchum. Seems my PowerBook isn't as perfect as I thought it was.

I just received my PowerBook back from Apple on Monday night. Over the past couple of days, I noticed that the casing is not as secure as it was, and that the keyboard was not full…
