http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ regardless, i opted for the powerbook. hope i don't regret it.

I FINALLY convinced my boss to buy a mac for me. I've been using an old dual 500Mhz G4 for about a year now - a machine that I brought in from home. I work in an office that is 100% dell / windows and up until now buying an apple has been completely out of the question. It took me 4 years but I...

Thanks for the feedback and links... I've known about the G5 cooling problem since December (when my first hard drive failed). I have dual 250 GB maxtor drives - I'm not a huge fan of maxtor, but thats what came in the machine. A few months ago, Tech Tool Pro sent me an email saying that the...

alright, so... none of the above has worked. does anybody know how to use the mount command in OSX? I know you can do it verbosly, maybe it will give me some clue as to why it won't mount.

I will have to try it tonight with my girlfriend's lap top... hopefully it gets me somewhere.

S.M.A.R.T. checks are fine. The repair permissions button is grayed out... I'm assuming because its not mounted. I don't see a way in TTP to fix bad blocks, I only see the surface scan utility. I really need to figure out some way to rescue my data, TTP doesn't seem to have anything that can...

I've got a dual 2GHz G5 with two 250GB SATA internal drives. One day after a reboot the secondary drive didn't show up on the desktop. I ran a surface scan with tech tool pro and its reporting that there are 2 bad sectors on the drive. Apple's Disk utility on the other hand, says that the...

thanks for the link, looks though my hunch was correct. too much of a delay for it to be used with sync video.

I read the AE FAQ on apple's support page and it says that currently the only application that can stream audio to the airport express is iTunes 4.6. anybody have any idea why? I was really hoping you would be able to pick it as a an audio output in the sound preference pane... Maybe there...

Can you use the older style yoyo power adapters with the new g4 power books?

that brings up an interesting question... what countries have access to microsoft's online music store? (or other online music stores for that matter)

that really irritated me when I first read that. i think its hysterical that they changed it :)

yes we are. And I agree with everything you said. I certainly see more and more people considering apple as an option. But the way I see it, as long as Apple continues to make a quality product we will always be winners. its not like you or I are suddenly going to switch over to Microsoft...

Can you believe that Microsoft has the gall to write this? http://beta.music.msn.com/help/ipod calling the kettle black? :confused: i hope iTunes can hold its ground against the MSN music store. I think it will because MS doesn't have an iPod to go along with their store.

LOL, so true :)

i never said tablet pcs were useful :p i just like how apple managed to hide the computer again.

thats interesting to note... i thought rendezvous was a standardized protocol, since so many new printers use it. I also thought that iTunes used rendezvous for music sharing (which works with windows). as i stated before, we are firewalled off and cannot connect to the AIM server.

you could also uncheck the "Show VPN status in menu bar" checkbox in internet connect. (though command+drag is far cooler)

its quite obvious (by the fact that the G5 has 12 fans and is liquid cooled) that the G5 has a serious thirst for electricity. that also means that its going to be about as easy to put a G5 in a powerbook as it is to stuff an elephant through a soda straw.
