I'd really recommend getting a desktop. It's faster, has the ability to do just a tad bit more than a regular laptop would. I have a pismo and Ti... wish I would've gotten a desk…

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?

In recent months, my good old Firewire PowerBook G3 seems to have taken on a mind of its own. Often, when I put it to sleep, it will immediately wake up. Sometimes it then goes b…

New keyboards can be had from www.pbparts.com .

New info from Japan... it's not April 1.

That would be absolutely wonderful. Dunno if they lifted it from the same source but Apple Turns got the same dirt and posted it in their yesterday's report as well (about it being…

Update: Various site in Japan are now stating that they can no longer able to order PB G4 there... what available is what in stock now, production/logistic problem or new machine r…

I'll be beyond-disappointed if they only add 133Mhz and a SuperDrive. I definitely appreciate burning DVDs, but a higher res screen and faster graphics are sorely missing even now.…

Well Appleturns usually just combs other sites, and puts a clever/interesting/funny spin on the articles, but they seem to say MWNY in the same enclosure, so who knows. The most i…

Perhaps sooner than MWNY. Smalldog has just gotten in a boatload of refurbed Ti's and new CD-RW/DVD Ti's. They are also showing all Combo drive Ti's as backordered. Only a matter o…

A labtop SuperDrive is not going to happen soon. One, SuperDrive is a major selling point for the new iMac and G4 towers which are both new items. Two, Apple just got going on th…

There was something about Apple and Pioneer demoing a thin, slotloading SuperDrive prototype @ MWTk... Don't know it there's much truth to that, though.

How long did the Pismo last us, 11 months? This powerbook has been around for about 15 months now. With product turn around times shrinking in the computer industry these days, i…
