Bump.

yes, another speaker thread am looking for speakers for my bedroom...to hook up to a powerbook (thru an airport express); narrowed it down (i think) to these: klipsch promedia…

The jbl creatures look kinda neat, but the crossover problem inherent in every satellite system is taken to an appalling extreme here: The mids are non-existent. You've got ouch-…

On the other hand Klipsch speakers have a reputation for being rather good.

What nJm said. I haven't heard the Promedia 2.0s but the Creature IIs sound bad, I would recommend against them.

funny... i have a music biz friend who has the jbl's in his office, loves them. both speakers have good reviews. ilounge loves the jbls. on amazon, both get raves (and dislikes, …

I worked at an Apple Store last summer, and had the fortunate experience of hearing all our speakers being turned up to the max everyday, afterwhich I concluded the klipsch we had …

Has anyone tried hooking up their Canon MP830 to the USB port of the Airport? Does the scan-to-computer feature still work when done this way? Most likely the printing will work, j…

AFAIK, no.

after some more research, that seems like the case. Funny how canon released two new printers, but each of them missing features that the other printer has [MP800R and MP830] bl…

As requested in another thread, here are some comparison pictures between a 1ghz 15.1" PowerBook G4, a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 15.4" MacBook Pro, and a 1.8ghz CoreDuo 14.1" Thinkpad T60. C…

Why is the brightness of the MacBook doesn't seem as bright as the powerbook? It supposed to be a lot brighter than the PowerBook. Otherwise, great comparason.

i dont think the camera angle was very fair, but it does look like the PB display is brighter from that angle

My MBP screen is definitely brighter than a revB PB12 and my revA PB17 screens. Indeed, it's comparable -- when looking straight on -- to the brightness of my Dell 24" at work. If…

sadly, I think Apple's priorities are not the kind of rugged durability that has been typical for thinkpads for years. How could Apple go back to plastic after using metal for so l…

Wow. The new charger is... huge...
