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.

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.

I think yall may be confused as to what im asking, I would like to be able to swap files between the computers over the network, maybe change files then move them around, that sort…

SystemPrefs> turn on remote login and personal file sharing.(Both systems) While both are on the ketwork, hit apple+K or Go>connect to server and put in the IP of the system …

Simple tip: You can use iChat Rendezvous to transfer files between the two computers, if you don't do it too often.

because we all know talking to yourself (if even over AIM) is a sign of insanity. haha. use VNC to control, and file sharing to move files.

Have a G3 600 combo iBook which I'm selling to a friend and a new G4 800 machine is on its way to me. I have an airport card and regular base station at home (w a DSL connection) …

If you decide to go with the AirPort Extreme base station, yes, you can get the less expensive model-both models have a USB port for sharing printers. There are other products tha…

great advice... but worried about configuring and adjusting specs, etc... am not much of a techie and don't want to screw it up. is it painless? thanks again!

Painless? Almost painless. You can get your "technical novocaine" by doing two things: read the manual thoroughly both before and as you do the setup, and come here for explanati…

Thanks! Finally got my SMC barricade router to work. Had to call tech support to be able to configure it but it works! Now, I've plugged my HP 6110 USB printer into the USB port at…

Anyone know of any kits to use your built-in bluetooth to stream your music to your stereo. Or perhaps some AC powered BT Speakers? What I'm looking for is good ac powered stereo …

Not sure about Bluetooth, or even if it's possible via Bluetooth (too slow?). But El Gato has a nice piece of hardware for streaming audio, video, web, etc to your home entertainme…

[quote]Originally posted by ::maroma::: [b]Not sure about Bluetooth, or even if it's possible via Bluetooth (too slow?). Bluetooth is fast enough at 1MB/s max. All I found were …

I am not exactly sure, but isn't Bluetooth only intended for communication over short distances? I'd assume you loose a lot of signal strength across your room, left alone between …

I'm gonna bump this. My stereo is about 2 feet from my Powerbook and having a wireless bluetooth connection to it would be awesome. The fewer cords the better! Same goes for my pri…

I've read somewhere that they are working on a technology that can let you use BT to speakers and such, but they are still working on it to get all the bugs out. Not sure how long …

I beta-tested (about 30 minutes) a hardware product that does something like this. A very small battery powered (AA cells) module plugs into the microphone output jack (analog ste…
