i belive apple offered to give you some money if you trade in an old ibook or powerbook but i dont think its much and it is the same price for all models

like the iPod mini? could happen, but maybe this is a baaad idea.

I don't think colored PowerBook would help sales at all. Most people (Pros especially) already love the Al finish as it is. Colored iBook was available for a while, did they help…

there is already a thread here..

yes...maybe bad idea

User customizable covers are already available for some powerbooks/books: http://www.macskinz.com/

I recently (november) did a clean install of panther on my PB. I have put a lot of programs on there that are pretty big (final cut, dvd studio, other creative apps) and the compu…

How often do you run the cron jobs? If your computer is turned off every night and started up in the morning, chances are (unless you have changed the settings for cron) that they …

Try running top in terminal or use Activity monitor to see what is using your cpu%. I have seen WeatherPop go whacked and suck up all remaining cpu time. For that reason, I quit us…

MacJanitor seems to have cleared up the issues. I put my laptop to sleep at night so I was missing all cron jobs. thanks.

you can also change the time the cron jobs run. No need to add yet another program to do this for you in terminal, you can type: sudo pico /etc/crontab then put in the admin pa…

I just want ATI to release a better PCI Mac video card. Such as the 9200. As well as a nice AGP card for the Mac mid-range, even a previous generation 9500 Pro.

Schweet.. Thanks for pointing that out.

Finally, Doom III at reasonable framerates. 8-) Actually, all considering, I'm looking forward to what Carmack does to Doom3 in regards to the G5. He, or I should say Id in genera…

Ah, *the* card you will want for playing DOOM III. And Halo, of course. Has an ADC, cool. But not for G4s�not cool. Ah well.

Don't count on a 9800 Pro running Doom III at a decent resolution and not without lowering graphics settings. There are already games *now* (eg. Call of Duty) that eat this card.

I can play Call of Duty on max settings at 1280x1024 on a GeForce4Ti. I think the 9800Pro should be able to play Doom III at reasonable FPS on normal settings, at least.
