AppleCare for the MacBook Pro is $349, not $579. That's Apple's list price. You should be able to purchase it for AT LEAST $100 less by checking around. AppleCare for my Powerbook Aluminum was also listed at $349, but I scored one from a seller on eBay for $225. My Powerbook's hard drive...

My youngest son's school, here in Fairbanks, Alaska, has upgraded it's computers and has gotten rid of their Powermac G3s(those hideously ugly blue and white monstrosities), all 15 of them. They're in near pristine condition. I was elected to take them to the disposal site, but it's closed due...

Excellent point.......if you've got a MacBook, you don't need central heating!;)

Rule #1 learned in Mac 101: ALWAYS keep your Mac's installation disks together with your Mac and treat them as if they were made of 24K gold! Just for making such a dumb move, you've got to surrender the keys to your Mac for an entire month. You're grounded!!!:rolleyes:

Laptop cooling platforms are always a good idea, even for pre MacBook notebooks. I've always used one with my Powerbook; I've never used my Powerbook for an extended period without one....and I've never had a hot running 'book, even in unairconditioned places in hot climate. The simplest...

Mellel: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/8712 is amazingly good, although it's $49. For a 1st class word processor, though, the price is not exorbitant. Text Wrangler: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11009 is really sweet and it's FREE! Both definitely worth checking out.

.....and it looks like it works quite well, judging from user feedback: http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049. Hmmmm, I might be moving up to a MacBook or Pro sooner than I had thought; the heat issue was the main factor keeping me away. If this app works as well as it seems to, I just wonder...

Oh sure, iTunes is a neon pumped earwig, but some late bloomers joined the Hare Krishnas and ate blintzes with sourcream. As if Steve Jobs didn't know. And only 30 pfennigs for critical mass? Much too difficult to get down with your neighbors' nasty thoughts milking your brain. I mean, Pod...

Oops, pardon me.

Here's an app that lets you set the minimum fan speeds on your MacBook(Pro) for better cooling. It's free. Check it out. It's called smcFanControl 1.1 http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/software/page5/page5.html If it doesn't keep your 'Book running cooler, turn it over and grill some...

All right! Ché's my main man, too. Cool!!

Not long ago, I acquired a Logitech Marble Mouse which I've become rather fond of. If I'm a bit too cavalier when picking it up or putting it down, the track ball sometimes falls out, rolling under the couch or bed, a minor annoyance. The ball, recently, got a tiny pit in its otherwise smooth...

miserable (......and especially so in the Brazilian Amazon, where my work often takes me. 90% humidity combined with temps in the 80s and 90s day after day, year round, can be pretty grim.)

Actually, it's not true that losing one's desire and ability for sex is a given as one ages. There are many old farts who enjoy an active sex life(myself, included), and even without the need for Viagra. If one's health is good, and an appetizing partner is available(such as, say, a 20 year old...

Please stop sending me personal messages. I am no longer a chinese laundry, although I still charge big money for brainwashing. You might want to consider a prefrontal lobotomy; I can do it for you at a 20% discount. (I empathize for the tragic loss of your mind but, I'm convinced, as time...

Will the big telecoms soon be in a position to limit free access to the internet? Is Net Neutrality on it's way out? How do you feel about it? Check out these reports. Whaddya think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5RQrxkGgCM...
