I don't think colored PowerBook would help sales at all. Most people (Pros especially) already love the Al finish as it is. Colored iBook was available for a while, did they help…

there is already a thread here..

yes...maybe bad idea

User customizable covers are already available for some powerbooks/books: http://www.macskinz.com/

I recently (november) did a clean install of panther on my PB. I have put a lot of programs on there that are pretty big (final cut, dvd studio, other creative apps) and the compu…

How often do you run the cron jobs? If your computer is turned off every night and started up in the morning, chances are (unless you have changed the settings for cron) that they …

Try running top in terminal or use Activity monitor to see what is using your cpu%. I have seen WeatherPop go whacked and suck up all remaining cpu time. For that reason, I quit us…

MacJanitor seems to have cleared up the issues. I put my laptop to sleep at night so I was missing all cron jobs. thanks.

you can also change the time the cron jobs run. No need to add yet another program to do this for you in terminal, you can type: sudo pico /etc/crontab then put in the admin pa…

I just thought it might be nice to post something good about the current crop of PowerBooks in lieu of all of the negative posts recently. Yes there are plenty of fully functional,…

Yes. My Rev b has been rock solid. The only problem I had was self-induced when I put in bad ram. I am using this machine a lot too and it has taken many road trips and few air …

My 17" is great, no issues, i bring it back and forth from work, whip it out at various B&N/starbucks, as well as at friend's apartments, city parks, and skateparks.. Although…

My rev A 17" is perfect. Absolutely no issues since I received it in May '03.

mine is great too, not one problem at all... Rev A too.

No problems on my PB17 Rev. A. The sizzling stopped after a few weeks; one Kernel panic in 6 months. Installed the firmware upgrade for my Superdrive-no problems there either.

My pb is a week and 1 day old and seems completely perfect! ...*knocks on wood in fear of whitespots*

Well ive had experience with all three Aluminium powerbooks, and currently own the 12' Rev B and 15' 1,25Ghz. I sold the 17' 1,33Ghz two weeks ago. Heres a summary : 17' 1,33Ghz (…

My 17" REV A has screen arthritis in cold weather. There are pinstripe vertical black lines that fizzle when I first turn it on or wake it from sleep, but this clears up in a few m…

I got my rev A 17" in April? can't remember. But it's been almost a year of using it at work, home, everywhere I go. I've had absoultely no problems at all. It has never let me dow…

I just received my PowerBook back from Apple on Monday night. Over the past couple of days, I noticed that the casing is not as secure as it was, and that the keyboard was not full…

Probably. If they see any attempt at self repair or of any tampering with the case it probably if not most likely will void the Apple Care.

Just tell them that's the condition it was in when it was returned. Other than the screw, it's the truth. One screw should not equal a warranty void.

It does sound like you're SOL, however, have you tried backing out the screw with a torqued screwdriver? The extra leverage won't hurt with the screwdriver. Hope this helps, othe…
