I'm so bored reading all the MHz doesn't matter blather. It does matter. When a brand new $2000 computer looks choppy using a brand new OS, then something is not right. It should be blazing on all basic functions. Flame away if you like, I see a lot of that on the Mac boards whenever someone happens to disagree with the party line but I'd wager I speak for a lot of potential switchers.
I guess what really blows me away is that Apple appears to be *purposely* cripppling their systems. From what I understand it's possible for Apple to upgrade the processor, bus, memory and other components without any technical difficulties.
Okay, you can flame away now -- but all I'm saying is there are a lot of potential switchers waiting to plunk down their hard earned cash if Apple would get it together. I see more and more Apple folks waking up, no longer satisfied to let Apple off the hook for getting further and further behind the rest of the computer world.
The best OS deserves the best hardware or at least a lot better hardware than being currently used. You want premium prices? Then give us premium hardware. Geez, drop Motorola if they can't deliver the goods and go with IBM (don't go with Intel or AMD to keep that Apple distinction). But pul-leeze do it soon. I want to buy!

Here's the problem right here with all these nonsensical rants. The G4 iMac is in now way jerky when it comes to window resizing. Whoever has posted this a)doesn't know whay they're talking about b) if they owned this iMac had something wrong with it.
All we're doing by pissing and moaning about Mhz is hurting ourselves an Apple and the whole debate with the PC switchers.
I don't know how many of you have actually spent time on a dual ghz mac but they are blazing fast. I currently own and am using a dual ghz/DDR and this thing flys with everything.

The Wii's already online in Japan (heck, since December!) thanks to Pokemon. Why not?
I'd only be surprised that it's not a first party game that goes online first.

And my office is just too hot as it is to have this thing cranking along with my PB, so I have offically begin my summer folding break. See you in November. :D
I'm on break too. I don't have wired internet access in my room for my g5 so I was patching through my ibook's wireless for a while to get new WUs. But like iGary said, it's too hot during the summer. I'll start folding when I get back to my freezing dorm room. :)
But anyway, welcome to Team 3446, Mainyehc!

I have to agree with this opinion. At my work, the only thing that PC laptops use their PCMCIA slots for are connectivity options. By this I mean Ethernet, modem, WI-FI. All of these are accounted for in an iBook without needing a PCMCIA slot. Cutting edge/emerging technologies use PC card slots, but these are usually for a very work specific application, and since an iBook is for someone that needs to be able to do basic computer functions on the road, it is not necessary for the iBook platform in general.

OK, I have been patient, but this is too much! Apple doesnt seem to release new products when a promo for the existing version is in progress. Did anyone notice the end of this new display promo --- DECEMBER 31 :mad:

Is that a fact? I would figure they would keep giving discouts on purchases of 800mhz PBs and roll out the new stuff at full retail.....no?

Why wait, I mean if a new iBook comes out, then sell the one you have (EBAY ASAO) and buy the new one. I have always been able to maintain a top machine by doing this. I will even sell you or anyone else my airport card out of my 933 for 60 bucks. It has never been used. as I dont use my desktop as a portable, haha

Personally, I'd go with the El Capitan case for good and not complain. :) The handles are great, the flip-down side is invaluable, now all they need is a front-mounted USB and FW port and I'll be happy!
I agree it's a fantastic case. The new innards with easily removable carriers for everything is a god send. I do agree on the other hand that they could style it differently. Though I think they should stick with the basic design.

WoW is one of the (if not THE) most solo-able MMORPGs out there, in terms of game mechanics. However, I only really enjoyed it when I was able to play with real life friends, and when I was in an end-game raiding guild for six months (before it fell apart). That's me, you might be different.

Anyway, I've never been one to agree with the Windows people that argue the security-by-obscurity for why Mac OS X is not hacked to bits like Windows, but it would seem that this adds aome serious fire to their arguement.
Obscurity IS a factor that helps Mac users. The point is that good, secure design is ALSO a factor. But DRM file distribution doesn't relate to OS security/privacy anyway.
Anyway... you still have to BUY the song to use this hack.

I thought Godfather Blackhand edition would be just another PS2 port with tacked on Wii controls but IGN just gave it an 8.0 and generally had good things to say about it. That makes it the 5th highest Wii game they've rated behind Zelda, SSX, Elebits, and WarioWare.
I'll probably rent it first but this is surprising news to me. EA is doing a good job even if it is just ports. Hopefully, they will have a few new IPs on the Wii in the next year or so...
http://wii.ign.com/articles/773/773509p1.html
i thought the exact same thing. just another ps2 port... the graphics in the previews looked like ****... worse than quite a few GC games. i think i'll need to rent this. (btw... i thought SSX Blur would be really really good and it's ok but not that great at all.)

Ok, I don't want to spend too much time on this but let me help you out as much as I can. If you are looking to do web site design with CSS you should really get a book.
I don't remember saying I wanted to learn CSS, I am just querying how much Firefox (and Safari) form fields can be changed by CSS as I can't recall ever seeing a button face, for example, looking anything other than standard.

Didn't see that coming! No really, seems that nobody likes Excite Truck from what I've heard on the forums.
Music in Excite Truck is awful. But I suppose that's a premature judgement as I've only heard a single track on it, ever since day 1 I've been using a spare SD card loaded with MP3s. We Didn't Start the Fire and Tubthumping go very well with this :p and that strange Doctor Who/Holiday mix too...
