Is it just me or on the US site is there a $150 premium for a black macbook?? What a rort. They'll be charging more for black iPods soon. I would rather have a white one anyway - thats what made iBooks unique, they werent dull black boxes like everyone else!! Although the black MacBooks do...

does anyone know what the actual power rating of the amplifier(RMS) of the iPod Hifi is?? Its not on the website anywhere.

Can anyone confirm for me that the MacBook Pro's built in superdrive is only the 4x single layer version and not the 8x double layer version that is found in the G4. Also does anyone know what goes in an express card slot and what could you possibly need that isnt built in??

in my experience with a iBook G4 it doesnt matter what the network card in the pc has been as i've had it plugged into many different pc's. The G5 has gigabit ethernet but its backwards compatible and will work fine with a 10/100 card in a pc.

Hey all, was wondering if anyone knows a good wireless keyboard and mouse to buy. Not too expansive. I dont have bloothtooth so the apple ones are out and they're too pricy for my likings anyway. Tried the belkin one that is reccomended to work with a mac but there's not software for the...

Hey I have a 1GHz G4 ibook 14" (its 2 generations old now) running 10.3.5 and all the latest updates. It came with world book 2003 when I bought it in Feb this year and I've just noticed that for some reason it will no longer run World book. It gives me an error message saying that the program...

Thanks for the info, looks like i might have to invest in a new printer! got this for nothing anyway so no real loss.
