Peace. Till 6 months from now and one of us can laugh at the other's stance. ;p

Re: G5 absolutism. None of us are saying we have inside information and know for sure that there will never be a G5 powerbook (if we did, we'd be writing thinksecret columns :-). W…

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

Can I connect things like USB pen drives to the newest version of iPods and transfer files back and forth between them? If so, how fast is that, relative to transfering between iP…

I thought my prayers were answered when I saw ESPN Gameplan broadcasts college football games over the internet. From what I can gather, Gameplan ties into the "Motion" technology…

I used ESPN gameplan to watch college football last year and didn't have any problems (867mhz Tibook with Panther at the time)

Have you tried it this year? What happens when you click on the system requirements link?

Ok, I see what you mean. Don't spend any money because I said this, but I believe you can ignore that system requirements notice. That was there last year and it doesn't look like …

An update for those interested: I took a chance and purchased ESPN Gameplan and I was very happy to see that my Mac could view the games just fine. However my joy was shortlive…
