I'm in a bit of a mess right now. I've been on the prowl for a good used 12" Powerbook G4 just in case I couldn't afford or didn't want a new 12" iBook - and I found one. Here are…

No, the difference wouldn't be that noticable between 1ghz and 1.33ghz but I don't really understand your issue. If the difference in price is slim, why not go for the fastest comp…

An easy choice. Buy the new iBook. The used PB is almost three years old and you don't really know what it's been through. With the iBook, you get one year free warranty if things …

Thanks for the help. I guess I've always been drawn to Powerbooks due to their sleek, aluminum casing. I can't help myself sometimes. iBook it is!

i agree...unless youre looking at running an external display with all 32mb of VRAM dedicated to the external or want mini DVI...go with the iBook.

plus, go for the free ipod and printer - sell them on ebay if you don't need them and save a couple hundred bucks.

Would the 12" be better than the 14" since the 14 has the same resolution as the 12". Doesn't that mean that the 14" screen just "blows" up the 12 in screen. Thanks

For the past eight months or so, I've used Sony EX51LP earbuds to listen to my iPod around campus and in my dorm room. I don't have much experience with music, but to my ears these…

http://www.theistore.com/shuree3c.html# You can get these on Amazon for $122 They are the best... well the e4c's are better... but $299.00

I've heard of those, and I'm sure #1 and #3 are satisfied, but what about #2? BTW, that zip case looks like it would be really useful.

Although I don't have a pair of e3c's I can almost guarantee you that one side is longer than the other, similar to what you have with your Sony's. That's the typical design. The…

Yes, and they come with different inserts for your ears, so you can customize what is more comfortable for you. The E4cs are incredible looking... But $$$

Where would I go to try out Shure and Etymotic earbuds? By the way, there really are a lot of people on Amazon who seem to think that the E3c's produce extremely weak bass, and th…

1. If both sides are equally long and not short, is that a bad thing? Sounds like you just want long headphone extensions, which is what you've got with these. 2. As far as bass …

Sounds like you've got a tough choice then. You seem to have a unique problem that very few people have with these headphones. Trouble is, they're tough to find in retail stores.…

By the way, it seems that the Japanese version of the EX51 has a well-made cord. Does anyone know where I would buy this? That might be the best option for me, although the better …

Sorry if you felt insulted by my last post, I meant no harm. A lot of the time the high price tag headphones are really just not for some people because they are unnecessary. Thi…

Thanks for the tips, G.O.O.D. If anyone else has any advice, that'd be great.
