I went from a 667 to a Rev A 12". I was very worried that I'd miss the extra screen size, but I don't. I've had to get used to using my windows a bit differently, but it's just a m…

I also went from a Ti to a 12. I had a Ti 800, and now I have a 12 " 1 Gig. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. Depends on what you do. I have a desktop with a Cinema Display, …

Well, heres another point to look at. I went from a 667 Ti DVI to a rev a 867 12" and was not very happy at all. The screen was way to small for me, and the thing got hotter than a…

Thanks for all of the replies, I'm not unhappy with my ti550 i just feel like it is just a little lagging sometime. I was planning to upgrade my ram to 1 gig...which will cost ab…

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 …

I went from a 14.1" iBook to the 12"PB. So far I haven't missed the size. I thought I would. I've enjoyed the larger screens. I don't miss the size at all. It is up to you. Y…

I switched from a Ti500 to a Al12 some months ago. 1. Will I miss my 15 inch widescreen. For spreadsheet work: definitely yes! For the rest maybe no. The compact size of the Al1…

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 …

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.

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.
