Nope. Mine's fine.

Same here. Fine.

No problem here...

Nope. *knock wood*

Well, now it isn't. My PB is weird

And I thought I was the only one... Yes, I have had this problem, too. Well, having really, because it happened just yesterday. The sound comes back after a (long) while, though, …

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…

I am a newbie Mac user, would the firmware be accessable via "software update"?

Nope, you'd maybe have to get it here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120019 Not entirely sure though, it's an old article.

Hi, I have a Lacie external d2 120GB and it's a excelent equipment. It's my backup (misic, pictures, soft installers, etc, etc) and I install a panther to use when I need repair …

When I got my PB12 in October, I decided I needed a couple external drives - one for data (all those movies, photos and songs can really add up) and one for backup. I decided to ge…

Another vote for CCC, just be sure to get the latest version that's necessary for running with Panther.
