On my powerbook, the latest camino 0.9a keeps hogging the processor, even when I am not doing anythingelse. The CPU usage goes from 20% to 78% in some sort of cycle. Going back t…

How baout 512MB soldered for up to 1.5GB total? A guy can dream, can't he?

ibook_steve: my 1GB SODIMM is on the way hopefully as of tomorrow, I'll be at 1.25GB... if this reduces page outs and general HD access, perhaps it will help some of my speed issu…

Yes. Getting a "refurbished" unit as a replacement is one thing, getting a unit with fingerprints and splash marks on the screen (as if it came right off the sales floor) is someth…

Oh my G_d! I have never seen such a thread in my life. I usually like to sit back and read these things, but this is ridiculous. Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. I've never s…

I don't think I can agree w/ everything wizzbang has said, but I must defend XP's stability compared to OS X. I use XP every day at work on two different computers, manipulating l…

I recently bought a 12" Pb. It does everything I expect of it since it's not one of the higher end 15" or 17" Pb's. From reading the first part of your review: Quote: Origi…

This guy is about as smart as Paul Thurrott. He probably thinks because he could get a celeron with "more giga hurts" the mac stuff is eons behind in hardware terms. Why are you …

I think I'm going to get a tattoo. It's going to say "European prices include VAT, US prices do not." It's going right across my chest.

I have to second much of the original posters opinions of the 12" PB and OSX. I also must give him a little bit of support here. Though, I don't agree with everything said. I boug…

Why buy it in Europe? – It's a lot more expensive than in the US e.g.: UK 20GB iPod: $377 (£ 209) US 20GB iPod: $299

My first experiences with OS X weren't the best (these were back in the 10.0 days). It is very different from even OS 9, so I can only guess what it feels like coming from the Wind…

Can I ask why you use Finder Copy (which seems to be a major source of your complaints)? Are you duplicating a file? Why not Command-D and avoid the paste step? Are you duplicat…

Is there an automatic setting for power on the 12" PB in Tiger? You seem more concerned with the fan noise than CPU slowness. Why do you even need to use LaTex? I used to use tha…

I still think you have a hardware and/or software incompatibility problem on your machine. For example, I've been using Preview, Acrobat, and Acrobat Reader to read and edit variou…
