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…

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…

Quick questions. Does anyone know at about what temp the fan on the PB12-inch Rev B should turn on? Mine starts at 52 celcius. Also when I play games (Tiger Woods 2003) my temp goe…

My fan turns on around 46C. I've hit low 60s before doing various intensive things like ripping a lot of CDs, using a lot of graphic apps, etc.

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.

typoon: Thanks. I'm loving it!

Glad you are loving it. I got a 12 Inch right after xmas and I love it. What a great little machine this is

I identical model came xmas eve. And I' loving it more and more. I have surprised myself as I even like the keyboard to type on, which I thought I wouldn't. Its a great machine.

For me there was a big difference coming from a 15" Ti 667Mhz PowerBook to a 15" Al 1.25Ghz PowerBook. These are the things I've noticed that are BETTER on the Al PB: 1. Screen re…

selowitch: Yes. I guess I'm more of a perfectionist. And since I previously worked on the 667's screen I can tell pretty easily by comparing the 2 screens. In fact, I would argue t…

Quick question: I found a great deal on a AL 15" Powerbook but the downside is it does not include a superdrive, which I love on my 12" because of Idvd, my question is can and whe…

officially, no. willing to void your warranty? then, yes. the 'superdrive' is standard 3rd party vendor fare. my 12" pb contains a matsushita UJ-815 drive. i believe the AL15"pb …

I received a 12" 1GHz no-SD powerbook as a gift and decided that it was stupid to have two PBs, so I am selling my Ti 1GHz SD machine. Before I started the sales process, however,…
