hey all, my girlfriend just received her brand spanking new ibook 800mhz G4. I have a 15" 1.25 ghz Albook and I have been comparing the airport reception between the two. The Iboo…

I would like opinions on a stand for the 17" Powerbook. I am considering the Macally Ice Station and the iCurve. Are there any others. Thanks

For those of you fortunate enough to attend MWSF are there any must have accessories that you have seen at the display booths. Thanks

Hey All - I have a Rev. A 17" Powerbook which I love, but I have noticed lately that when I shut the lid it takes sometimes close to a minute for it to fall asleep, whereas it us…

Most likely you have a process that is tidying itself up. I had the same problem when I installed faxStuff about a year ago. Start thinking about what you have installed since th…

Hi All, I'm going to be buying a 15 or 17" PB here shortly, and was wondering if there are any good port replicators out there so that I can hook up an external cinema display, et…

Good question...I've been wondering the same thing. Edit - I did find these, not sure how good they are...but look okay. A little on the expensive side though. Doesn't look lik…

Thank you. I'm very surprised to find that replicators aren't very common for the powerbook line. As popular as they are I would have thought someone would have launched a nice d…

I used a BookEndz dock for my Ti 400 and honestly, it wasn't worth the expense ($250). You have to line it up just right and spend a lot of time futzing with it to get it to work …

I don't get it. Even if you use a replicator you're still plugging and unplugging from the Powerbook. So the wear and tear is the same either way. I think there are two main reaso…

Random idea I had the other day. Most of Apple's high end desktops have been dual processor for a while, why not offer that possibility in a laptop? Well, shoving two CPUs inside…

I hate plugging and unplugging the cables from my laptop. The missing element on Powerbooks is a single in-line connector that many PC notebooks (Dell 600, Sony V505) have either…

I take my laptop on/off my desk twice a day and connnecting/disconnecting cables isn't that big a deal. I have power, speakers, 1xusb which goes to my keyboard, my MS Natural has …

A couple months ago, I got a 15 inch Powerbook. Perviously, I'd been using an old clamshell iBook. Anyway, I've noticed that, in my Powerbook's Airport menu, there's an option that…

I think what it does is improve the signal over any interference, but at the cost of the distance you can be from your base station.

Now there's a good first post.
