Nope. Their reason for going is very non-tech related. Which is why I need to get the computer working for them. Their computer skills are ~0.

Thanks for the responses. They will have good internet access so that will not be a problem. I set up AIM accounts to use with iChat and am fairly sure there will not be a problem there. I'm just trying to cover all the bases so they just need to turn the iBook on and everything works.

Thanks for the thought. If I reconnect my regular mouse the button mapping options are not available. After playing with it more I have found that the button mapping options for 'Primary Button' and 'Secondary Button' are backwards. If I set both for 'Primary Button' they both function as...

My brother and his wife are headed to India (Bangalor) in September. To help them stay in touch with their kids and grandkids I am setting up two new Macs with iSight cameras with iChat. The iBook will be going with them and the Mac Mini will be staying home (USA). The question is this, is...

I wouldn't put it past them to at least make the attempt. If you recall a few years ago their project Carnivore and the attempt to scan all emails for 'suspect' words (which I promptly added to my signature line on all emails). They are prone to try anything in the name of "Homeland Security"...

I found that with Crucial if you use their Memory Advisor to search for memory it will come up with a more expensive product. If you already know the type of RAM you need (eg. PC2100) then it's best to search by type. Last month I bought a 1gb stick for my powerbook. Using the Advisor it came...
