I would agree with kndonlee that a desktop is faster, but if you are on a limited budget (unlike some people on these boards) that is not always an option, expecially with Apples p…

Why the heck did you buy the iBook? Especially the 500? Granted it's smaller, but it's virtually the same computer sans a few pounds and monitor spanning. You shoulda just waite…

I actually didn't buy the iBook. It's my work machine. It's basically my machine but I don't own it. In about a year from now I will be allowed to buy the computer at "market va…

Also I recall that keyboard in Costco being black, even though all the pictures of it that I see online (I think it's the Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro) show it in white. I thin…

(I should probably add this as an edit instead all these new posts, but i have tons to say.) Also I do have a FW hard drive. In the fall of 2000 i bought the Pyro enclosure and a…

Waffffffle, yee be a luckier man than I! Can't argue with the prices your getting on a steady stream of Mac laptops. You didn't give the whole story. If you're certain that y…

Yes I do agree that work treats me very well. They give me computers every 2 years, which is great. If only my salary was better... I bought the PowerBook in the sumer of 2000, b…

I think we'll finally see a selection of G4 upgrades for the Pismo over the course of 2002 (if you really want to spend some of your own cash.) When's your next work computer due?

They don't tell us ahead of time when the new computers are coming. I think with the last iBook it was supposed to last 18 months but ended up going for over 2 years. This iBook …

I think this is a Peripherals topic. I wouldn't recommend those Microsoft keyboards with buttons. The buttons don't work with the Mac, and the touch isn't excellent, either. Th…

Those buttons really don't work with a Mac? You sure? Isn't the driver based on USB overdrive? Shouldn't that make all of the buttons capable of doing something?

Anyone here knows where I could get a list (pdf would be nice) what processor type exactly apple integrates in each mac? In particular I want to know what proccesor is in my Ti 500…

It's a 7410. Trust me. If you're running OS X, type hostinfo in the terminal.

Ti 400/500 == MPC7410 Ti 550/667 == MPC7451

From the Terminal "hostinfo" my Ti 667 that was supposedly manufactured 11/01 has a 7450 chip. aehaas

Hi All, I've acquired a G3 Powerbook (generation before Pismo, I believe, the screen printed name on the LCD bezel is "Macintosh Powerbook G3", and it doesn't have a bronze keyboa…

No worries man... You're Good to Go.

PC-100 or PC-133 RAM will work perfectly in their rated machines and below. In other words, your PowerBook G3 will work perfectly with "PowerBook" RAM.

Faster doesn't hurt, just make sure it's not slower.

thanks guys! (now all I gotta figure out is why the backlight doesn't come back on after sleep in OSX 10.1 but works ok in OS9.2.2 :-)

Probably either Driver - Incompatibility or Bug. [ 04-06-2002: Message edited by: D'Espice ]
