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…

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…

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,…

I'm not sure but look into Toast. I think a new version was released recently. Might be what you're looking for.

I think you want Sizzle (I think it lets you author DVD menus, et cetera) Search macupdate or versiontracker.

try... DVD Studio Pro 2

Yeah, I have a 15" and my fan comes on all the time. I stop using it. . .

Anything that runs your CPU at full is going to make the fan come on. That's normal. I've got fah going on my Tibook right now and it's fine.
