    I wonder where these Apple terms came from.

    I read an old interview with Jobs and he said that he worked in an apple orcherd and considered apples to be the perfect food. So he named his company... He also said they put the bite in there because it looked to much like an orange. I am much to lazy to find that article but yeah that first...

    I wonder where these Apple terms came from.

    Why are some of the Apple lines called Macintosh? I am thinking there is some cool story. Also what does the i infront of everything mean. You know like ical and imovies etc. (((k)))

    Is open office reliable? Or safe?

    I am a little confused as to why my new powerbook will not have a word processor built in. I am not going to get microsoft word because I am sick of microsoft and that is why I bought an apple! I wonder if it's a good idea to use open office for my valuable writing? When apple updates apple...

    iPod Backlight no longer works!

    I hate to recommend compusa because of the TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, MIND BLOWINGLY bad experience I had. But they offer a two year warranty for 2 years and if yo0u return the thing before the two years is up you get refunded the full amount that you paid! Excluding the cost of the warranty of course...

    What does it mean to boot into os9

    Oh, when I asked the question I didn't know that the last version computers basically had two operating systems. I was speaking of a specific program called baby wow. The quote from my first post was from their website. Now that I reread my posts sorry if I came off sounding rude. I am taking a...

    AppleCare worth it?

    Why wouldn't you buy a warranty? O f course it's worth it. If you ever have a problem they will fix it. If you don't have warranty you will be paying out of your own pocket which could cost as much as the three years of warranty does. Not to mention laptops get world wide coverage. Do they even...

    Anyone know anything about update to the 15" Powerbook?

    I asked the same question when preordering the 17 and was told that the 15 won't be updated at all. If you want built in bluetooth, firewire 800, and lighted keyboard you have to get the 17. The 12 won't have firewire 800 or ambient light sensing backlit keyboard. personnaly i would rather have...
