Tantrum: Welcome and congrats on your new PowerBook. Sorry to hear that you'll need another printer. I would highly recommend the Canon S820. I got it for $69 refurbished at Fry's …

Hi, I am running connected to an external display. I want to turn off the laptop screen and just use the external, can I do this? Its a 12" 1Ghz PB by the way.

so I guess just the external mouse and keyboard can wake it up closed?

Yes. And you need to do the Bluetooth Firmware Update in order for Bluetooth devices to be able to wake up your PB from sleep.

Thanks!

Quick question Can you reset the printer ink levels? I have an HP 5550. I refilled the ink cartridges when they got low, however, the utility still shows the previous ink levels.…

Yep. Post in the Peripherals forum for printer questions. (BTW, it's probably the chip in the cartridge telling the printer they're still empty. I'm not too familiar with HP's car…

I believe that the Logitech Mx900 mouse is available in some channels, does anyone have one yet, any impressions with the powerbook?

I have it and I love it... But it could be better. I have a very small working area (my computer sits on a lap desk and I sit on my bed - that's all the desk space I have). The …

Call me irrational, but I hate buying anything that has buttons/features that are "sorry, not functional on the Macintosh." It engenders too much resentment. That's why I have to t…

MX900 uses bluetooth as wireless connection... It's not for mac, yet... It comes with a bluetooth hub, which is the important thing in my opinion, adding bluetooth to a PC Unles…

I bought an MX900 for the sole reason of having bluetooth-enabled multi-button mouse for my Bluetooth-equipped iBook. Well, guess what, it SUCKS (for me, at least.) 1) there's no…

MX700 is Exactly like MX900, except it uses RF and not BT to communicate. but if i'm not mistaken, isn't MX700 claimed to be compatible with mac by the Logitech site? and the extra…

I guess I don't understand. Not using some of the buttons does not seem a big deal to me. Plugging in an RF transceiver in a bluetooth notebook IS. Wireless should be that -- freed…

The problem is that almost no PC has Bluetooth built in - unlike Macs. As such, Logitech has their mouse built with a bluetooth hub as part of it - where all the prefs are on the b…
