Hi, I just bought a set of Nike Slingshots in graphite (regular flex). I have been recommended to purchase steel set instead of a graphite set. I might sell my graphite set, and…

it all depends on your swing. Graphite is usually lighter and more forgiving (higher kick point compared with steel). Also, there are much more variances in graphite in terms of …

Graphite high club head speed, forgiving, expensive, distance inconsistency from set to set. Steel lower club head speed, great feedback, cheap, consistent. Slingshot + Graphite …

I bought from a person for $500 while it retailed $800. Now I am thinking, should I have passed up on this deal or keep it. I might just sell it and go for the steel shafts. I d…

When I go to college I'm torn whether I would want to get a Powermac or a Powerbook before I go. I've had a 12" PB for a year now and while it's been awesome taking it around, I wo…

Go for the PowerBook and AEx, and invest in a copy of OmniOutliner. The end result is quite possibly the best system ever for taking notes in class. This is what I did in college, …

First, I gotta know what college you're going to... Catholic college - you'll never leave the room, so G5. Party school - you'll need to hide the computer for parties and be able …

I'd suggest the PowerBook no matter what college you're going to attend. It gives you more possibilities e.g. writing a paper sitting outside under a tree or in the college library…

I'll be studying music at a liberal arts college. I know I'll be taking some general classes like writing and english and math, but do I really need to take notes in those classes?…

You probably won't, pen and paper usually work better (in my experience).

I my eyes - with top of the line Macs, portability is superior to power. The G5 will scream through everything you throw on it, whereas you can get the Powerbook to it's knees. B…

College is one of many places where the PowerBook will shine. 1) Take notes in class 2) Record lectures to MP3 3) Can take PowerBook home over breaks 4) Can hide PowerBook in lock…

Save your money and keep the 12" Powerbook for a few more years. Unless you are studying graphic design or film editting, it will more than meet all your needs. Don't get caught u…

Whoops, I seem to have missed that you already have a 12" PowerBook. In that case, I'll second what ort888 said. Save your money and keep your 12" PowerBook. Spend the money on a n…

Stick with the 12" for a few months and then make a decision. I know colleges in America are different, but here in the UK no-one takes laptops to lectures for notes (not in my cla…
