CCC is simpler, easier, and it allows sequencial backups where only modified files get copied. I have to admit, I've been living with two copies of my files stored on HDs for seve…

After contemplating the switch for some months, and being in the hunt for a good laptop...I finally ordered a 15 inch PB the other week. First oddity was that the PB shipped from …

Oh man, don't get me started again on Apple shipping issues!

He must be picking his new PB just about now. Cool.

I had a good shipping esxperience with Apple (unusual). I ordered my PowerBook about a week ago. The person set it up and took my credit card number and said it would be 3-5 days, …

Well I just returned from the Fedex place and have been setting this puppy up....man it's a nice piece of equipment!

I have been waiting for my Powerbook since Dec. 23., and the machine shipped last tuesday. To my surprice, I haven't noticed any change on the tracking service, but discovered toda…

It seems to me that the 15's ship considerably slower than the other PB's. (Probably due to demand, and original screen problems). I ordered a 15" PB superdrive at the start of O…

I just recently(Jan 12) ordered a 12"PB online from the ADC Store. The order page said that shipping would occur 1-3 business days later. I went with 2-3 day shipping. My orde…

All of this leads me to wonder, why do you folks all order from Apple directly, when the resellers have a much better record in terms of timely shipping? Is there some other benefi…

How do I make the 'F' keys default to 'F1' through 'F12' instead of having to push 'Fn' each time?

Easy enough ... download and install uControl, click in the second tab "Options", then check the first box on the left "Real Function Keys"

Cool... Thanks!

Too bad the interface is butt, and there's no application-level control (games, and, oh yeah, layout programs, etc.), and perhaps AppleScriptability, etc. Well, what do you expec…

I have gone 2 1/2 months without my Titanium PowerBook after selling it Oct.2003. Well, 2 days ago, I walked into the Apple store here in Dallas and I walked out with the 15" Al Su…

Talking to a few friends, and after reading many posts, and comments on the internet, it seems that 2.5 hours is fairly common. I have a second edition 17 PB, and I can get just…

I love my AL Book 15. Solid as a Rock. I really haven't made many demands battery wise. You can expect 3hrs managing power usage. Not one kernel panic or hiccup in the 30days it's…

Orion27: Yeah, it's nice. The funniest and most ridiculous thing were the comments from my friends who are Windows users. Friend: Why do you want a Mac? Me: I love the design, the…

Apple did recently post a battery update, get it and you might gain some minutes. I gained 50 minutes and now have a 4 hour battery life with BT off, AE off and screen down to hal…

Thanks, I have already installed the battery update. 2.5 hrs. is to be expected then. I'm cool with that.

Congrats on your Job and your purchase. I'm sure you'll love it.
