I'm kind of in the same boat as you. Long time PC user who recently got into Macs. Got a desktop G4 to try out and loved it, so I got a G5. Last Friday, I decided to replace my…

the problems with DreamweaverMX2004 seem to be macromedia problems. It runs terribly slow in both Jaguar and Panther. Seems to be nothing but bloatware. Pickup a copy of the pre…

I've got the 1.25 GHz Al and the 550 MHz Ti both paid for with other people's money, so I don't get too worried about having to send them off to early retirement. If I were really…

Remember, Apple sells a couple of million macs per year, and you don't hear from 99% of the happy users. You hear from the small percentage of people who are upset about somethin…

jasonsRX7, I may be in the process of switching as well, though my trajectory is the opposite of yours (started with a PB, seriously considering a G5). Until my 12" PB arrived 2 …

I wouldn't worry too much about the bad problems you read about on the forums... most should have already been taken care of, so chances are you'll have a good machine. I got an …

My switch to a mac has been horrible. For over $3k I am seriously disappointed in this machine. I am setting it aside to just use at work, and ordering a new pc laptop for persona…

Just to make sure this is out there some of the last model of the Ti's had the white spots also. I kow because mine had them and has since been fixed. The Ti and 15" Al both used …

I'm a Macintosh lover but also a realist, and I am not blind to the fact that Apple has had some significant quality-control issues with the PowerBook line, especially in regard to…

My experiences with Macs has (fortunately) never been a bad one when it comes to hardware. I order a dual processor G5 in September and even though people were complaining about b…

I've had a new 17" PB for just over a month now, and it has no problems whatsoever. No white spots, no dead pixels, and it doesn't get that hot. Sure it can get a little warm, bu…

I have been looking for MacWorld news... so far saw a cool DUAL G4 EMAC with a gig of RAM, 80 Gig HD, and 4X superdrive - $989 at www.smalldog.com ... and the Apple Web site store …

sorry... was sure that last evening the advertisement said it was a dualee G4... and figured that would be part of the news from MacWorld... must have been wishful thinking, huh?

Looks like Apple is updating the store now.

This is the worst live stream I've ever had the torture of trying to watch/listen to. It must be getting bombarded. I wish they had a seperate audio-only stream at least so I could…
