I honestly feel that Windows XP is more polished than OS X. While OS X is prettier, it lacks so many things that are easily available in Windows. Windows is faster, supports a wider array of hardware and frankly does more. However, the reason I'm replying is because you said the Windows...

Here's the thing. I don't currently even own a PC. I had a great one that I sold and got a Mac thinking that the grass was greener on the other side. Now I'm looking at this machine and I still like it, but found myself realizing that if I want to use Airport Extreme, I need to buy another...

Well I work at an ISP where there are around 350 computers. After what you said, I asked the admin there how long it took to ghost the exact same configuration to those 350 computers. There are two people doing the job (two admins) and it took then 2 days. How you managed to do 10 computers in...

Here's the thing though. Using the equivalent software and a DVD writer of the same format, I can most definitely record the DVD faster. Not only that, but the DVD will be playable in more DVD players. Besides, you're bringing up the point about drivers and 'praying.' Installing drivers is...

I have a lot of difficulty believing that. The CRT on the old iMacs was ridiculously bad. The sound system on Macs is also horrible. Snappy, fluid and responsive are three things the Mac simply is NOT. People here will say the opposite and go on tirades talking about how snappy everything is...

Ok, this is an exaggeration. It takes me as much time to install OS X on my iBook G3-600 as it took to install Windows 2000 on a K6-2 366. To say it takes less time to install OS X is just wrong. Ok, that is a good point I admit. I have to say that the only time I ever restarted my Mac is...

Why is it that when ANYBODY suggests that a PC is better, even if they know what they are talking about, they are automatically called trolls and berated? The at 650$ is faster than the 3800$ Mac to start off so it's not much of a privilege unless being with something that looks good is a...

I've been an iBook owner since November and I have to say that I'm satisfied with what this little machine can do. However, I've recently been in the market for a desktop and bought a PC and I'll explain why: - I wanted to buy a Mac but wanted it to be upgradeable. This forced me to consider...

I'm using Entourage X and I find it way faster than Mail.app on my G3 600. It always displays HTML properly, it is customizable and it allows you to encode messages in your choice of encoding, unlike Mail that automatically uses AppleDouble (and confuses anyone you send attachments to). I...

Stuffit's not freeware though. Andre

- No registry - Remove programs by dragging icon to trash (no remnants remain) - Operating system stability - Open source community support

This will sound stupid but I had a similar problem. It didn't recognize the AC nor did it charge SIMPLY BECAUSE the AC adaptor wasn't all the way in. I kept wondering why my battery wasn't charging, then I realized the AC adaptor wasn't tightly in. Try that. The AC will turn green even if it...

While I hate the idea of USB and while I think Firewire is completely superior as a format to USB 2.0, I do agree with you that Macs should be using it anyway. I expect it to be making its way to the Mac platform by June. If not by then, then Apple seriously is going to have a bit of explaining...

I have to admit that as a former Windows user, the inability to do something as simple as maximizing the screen is ridiculous. Of course, there are pluses for both operating systems. The only reason I like OS X so much more is because there's no registry, it's more secure, and I don't have to...

I kind of like OS 9 and would like to use it as my main OS, however I can't get my GDI printer working in it through the router the way that I can with OS X. I was wondering if there was a generic GDI driver for OS 9. Anyone know? Andre

I recently purchased an LCD screen to replace my scratched iBook LCD. It's basically the exact same screen but without scratches. I haven't received the screen yet, but I was trying to open up the screws last night to confirm that I had the right screwdriver. To my sadness, none of the drivers I...

I'm looking to replace my iBook LCD. It works fine and all, but there was a scratch on one part that basically ruined my experience. What I am wondering is if any of the LCD's made for other Apple laptops like the Powerbooks or the previous iBooks would work on the iceBook 600. If anyone...

Umm, even though I'm an avid Mac user now, I have to say that there is nothing a Mac can do that a PC can't.

Actually, I had this problem too before I sold my PC. It was because I had changed the Mac OS X password at one point. Try logging on with the OLD password if ever you changed it... it will most likely log you in. Andre

Mail uses AppleDouble encoding to send attachments. They'll essentially work on every OS whether it's a Mac, Windows or UNIX, but in Windows there'll be two attachments. Most Mac guys would realize that the bigger one is the right attachment, but Windows users tend not to be very enlightened...
