Well, I just got my 15" SuperDrive in...I don't care if the G5 comes out tomorrow, I won't be sorry - really. This machine is just so fantastic and I've barely turned it on and set…

I'm sick and tired of all these threads. "Should I get a Powerbook now or wait??" People are ALWAYS afraid of buying a computer now only to have a new upgraded one come out soon …

Thanks Bastard. Quote: ... BUT IT NOW. If you don't NEED it for something (school, work, something imperative), and you have a computer already...WAIT. But prepared …

After installing 10.3.2 on my PowerBook the battery charge says it will last 2:40 with a full charge.....while with 10.3.1 I was getting like a little over 4 hours. Any one with t…

I have the same problem. How do you re-calibrate the battery?

I did re-callibrate the battery last night. Then when it finished cahrging I unplugged the charger and a low battery warning came up says that I was now using reserve battery and t…

I recharged mine too. Lasts 1.50 now. Either Panther sucks or my battery hasnt got a very long shelf life. New PB purchased in March 2003 - shouldn't deteriorate that quickly shoul…

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET! I just got off a travel trip, and when I took out my AlBook (which I got in May), I noticed the front corner of it was dented. Turns out the outer casing is…

Can you take a picture? My camera USB connector fell on top of my PB when it was shut and put a dent big enough to see, and i really dont care.. a dent is a dent, doesnt affect per…

Yeah you can check, but I don't think AppleCare covers accidental damage. SafeWare Insurance does cover accidental damage. they quoted me $150/yr. with NO deductible for $2600 cove…

I just recently upgraded to 10.3.2 and now my stupid fan runs all the time. I never had any problems with heat before and I was happy with the settings on the fan in 10.2. Have a…

Have not tried it and I hope Apple changes the fan settings on the next update. I agree that it does get annoying that the fan turns on everytime it's pluged in and i'm just usi…

I dropped my month-old powerbook! Augh! It was in a Tucano second skin, I was just putting it back on the shelf, it slipped out of my hands and fell five feet to a hard wooden fl…

I feel for ya brother.

Not dropped mine yet, but you know that feeling you get when you nearly drop it... I get that often and I swear to be more careful.

The damage looks minimal, but just like with "minor scratches" in cars, it _hurts_ a lot. How bad did it look before the fix?
