One more thing, I do transfer alot of photo from PM to my TiBook via giga ethernet. I've just notice that the 12 PB do not have gigabit ethernet. How much slower will the files b…

Well, the file transfers will be, like, 10x slower . You can use firewire to get faster than 100mbps, though. Definitely sell the Tibook if you can get $1k, that's pretty good.

Forgive me for my dumb question, but how exactly do i transfer files from my PM to my PB through the fire wire.

Transfer files by firewire in "Target Disk Mode" Power up the PM. connect the firewire cable to the PB. Start the PB holding down the "T" key. Wait for the Firewire logo to bounce …

Just went from a Ti 1 GHz to an Al 12" 1 GHz, here is the rundown: (1) Display: Yes, the widescreen display of the Ti is nice, and yes 1024*768 is ridiculously low-res. That said…

I haven't read any other replies yet, but I'll throw mine in. I went from the same machine you have (The Ti 550) to a 12" Ai. For a year, I didn't miss the screen at all, as the …

Have you looked at the $700 trade in they are doing on old PB's at the moment? I believe that your model qualifies. However you have to upgrade to a 15" or 17" machine.

_?_ if read above i have a buyer for my PB at $1k. I would like to thank everyone for the inputs. Today i went out and went with the 15 1ghz PB. My orginal plan was to purchase …

Hello everyone out there! I know this topic has been discussed a lot before, but I would like to have a "definitive" final answer on the 15" AL's battery: How long does it last? …

mine only last 3 hours if that....usually now it's kinda kinda 2 1/2 hours. And i got my 15" AL on Jan 3rd. Bleh...seems like all the laptops i have, have had a sucky battery.

Hey there folks, I finally decided to use some of my Christmas money to buy myself a 7200rpm travelstar, and am trying to decide what to do with the old drive. The MacAlly phr250c…

I bought a Firewire casing from OWC and use the old drive for backups. Works great.

I have a 10 gig hard drive from my 500 mhz ibook sitting on a shelf. I replaced it with a 40 gig. I plan on putting the 10 gig into my orange clamshell ibook which only has a 3 g…

Hi all, My question is that I already have a 12" AL Pb and am about to purchase a 17" Imac, they will both be on a network (one wirelessly). What is the best way to have them conne…

If they're both on the same network then just turn on file sharing on both machines and you're set.

Firewire networking. Really fast, convenient. I use it all the time.

What about to take control of my Imac from the living room, kind of like "Remote Desktop for the PC"? Thanks -Eric

If they both have Gigabit Ethernet use that...its faster than FireWire and you don't even need a crossover cable.
