Oh, c'mon now. I've never used a cooling pad with any of PBs or my MBP. They're no more necessary than they are for a T60. And to help everyone understand one thing, another reas…

That's true about the heat, I personally don't care, but I've had 4 PBs and this MBP, so I'm kinda used to it. Heh. It'd be nice not to have it, but, if I had to pick between hot a…

VGA on any notebook above $1500 is abysmal. And don't give me the dongle crap. Every decent corporate presentation station will have a dongle ready. Just like a laser pointer, AC p…

Man, this whole issue is turning into a fiasco. But i like to point out some things that should be common sense and alleviate some panic. Heat: All this talk about the mbp melting…

I think they're actually playing it smart. For the general buyer they made sure the MBP gets roughly 3h battery life. Anything less would have generated a lot of bad press. OTOH t…

ok shouldn't this be going in the compairison forum that you setup jasonsRX7....about the t70, PB, and MBP......this stopped talking about Underclocking the MBP a while ago

Back on topic a bit, would it void our warranty to re-clock the video card?

You can video chat using iChat with him, if he's using AIM 5.9 (not that Triton thing).

You can also use aMSN, which is a (slightly klunky but functional) MSN Messenger client that supports video on the Mac.

Also Yahoo or iVisit at ivisit.com

He was talking about AIM Triton, not Trillian.

Sorry, I can't recommend iVisit.. I had used it for years and it was good. But now its terribly dated and very poorly managed. It has very few users these days. Plus to get the mos…
