I'm probably not the most experienced user to tell you about comparisons, since I've only BEEN a Mac user for four months and this is my second Macintosh, but lets see. Compared to the TiBook 800, the fans are probably three times as loud, and turn on more often, however due to this the keyboard...

I picked it up from CompUSA on saturday the 23rd. I had the PB 800 before hand and what I was most looking forward to was the 64MB ATI 9000. It's incredible video performance for ANY laptop, to be sure. I'm sure the 1Ghz plays some part in that too, although about the Superdrive, I don't think...

I don't know what else to say. With all the bugs and problems and weird stuff happening, I feel like a rarity. I've only been a mac user for a little over a month, coming from a solid PC background, I bought a Powerbook 800 and loved it. Scrapped my PC on ebay even. 10.2 came out, installed...

Hi all, I'm wondering about exactly how Appletalk printing works? I don't know much about Appletalk at ALL, but I've run into a problem that might make it necessary. I have an Officejet D145 printer, networked. Now, the software for 10.1 was horrible enough, but it won't even WORK in 10.2. Both...

Apple will never serialize Mac OS for one simple reason. Apple makes the hardware, too. Somewhere along the line, if you really want to use Mac OS, you're going to have to buy an Apple computer. There's very little profit loss if even half of all Apple users upgraded from 8 to 9 to X without...

Open the Apple menu. Look at the Restart and Shutdown options. They both have an ellipsis (...) after them. That means they'll open a dialog to ask you what you want to do when you click them. Keep watching them and push the Option key. The Ellipses dissapear! Yay! I love active menus. So, once...

Well youve got me stumped. I have the same problem, except that my PowerBook G4's hard drive also emits a very loud, dangerous sounding high pitched whine while it attempts to load a help file. And my Help folder only contains MacHelp.help, Applescript.help and airport.help. And attemping to...

When I got my Powerbook G4 (came with 10.1.2 I believe) My desktop would update in the background if any change was made to it. if i downloade a file in something like internet explorer, i'd get the E document file icon and the download meter on it, and it would fill up then change to its...

I think y'all are taking this the wrong way. I mean, isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery? Nosh

Except that Fixedsys is a system bitmap font and dosen't seem to actually have a file in Windows. Nosh

Would anyone have or know where to get or know how to convert a font from Windows called Fixedsys? I come from a windows background, and one application I use in X would be incredibly more intuitive if I could use a thicker 9pt font like Fixedsys was. Monaco is nice for monospaced, but a thicker...

Alrighty, here's the skinny on what I've been learning with my Powerbook 800 and clamshell mode (The second display is an NEC FP955 CRT monitor with a DVI-A input, and I'm using OS X 10.1.5) Supposedly, to work in clamshell mode, with your laptop's cover closed and keyboard, video, and mouse...

Pardon, but what is minimize in place? The only explanation my mind can fathom is the window shrinking down in on itself to become an item on the desktop. Nosh

No, your name is Raven. Ba-da-bing!

For sale: NEC FP955 CRT monitor. Ya I know we Mac users see CRT's on the way out, but this one has on the back two interfaces, one VGA and one DVI-A (both cables included) so you can plug it into your new DVI powerbook without an adapter. It's used, by me, for a good seven or eight months or so...

But that would require a computer to be on all the time, no? I've set up an SMC router for a friend's office with a printer and four computers, and they communicate using DHCP with hostnames just fine, and I HAD a Siemens broadband router with the exact same software before I got the Apple base...

I think you should use an IBM drive, I use them religiously. Now I'll bet you're saying to yourself, "What's he talking about, IBM dosen't make any external Firewire drives!" But lo! I've purchased an IBM 75gb drive, 7200rpm internal IDE hard drive and used an ADS 1394 drive kit to adapt it to...

Alright, but can you communicate with them using their Computer Name or their IP address? I've decided to use static too, but I REALLY *REALLY* want to use hostnames :) Nosh

Hello all. I recently purchased an Airport Base Station. Excited yet? :) I have my boring ol' cablemodem plugged into its WAN port, and a Netgear five-port switch in its LAN port. I'm currently setting up with it a PowerBook G4/800 (airport), a generic PC (LAN) and an HP Officejet D145...
