I've been looking at the Tech Spec page of Tiger and I'm a bit puzzled by this: Requirements * Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor * Built-in FireWire * 256MB of RAM * 3GB of available hard disk space (4GB if you install the developer tools) Any...

I've got my fingers crossed :) I think its possible since Tiger went gold master no ? Also... its tuesday... which would be in line with Apple's announcement patterns.

Hi, I'm surprised that no one commented on this yet, but has anyone seen the Super Shuffle ? This Taiwan company must be clueless to think that Apple won't go after it ... http://www.luxpro-corp.com/e_575d.htm http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/5002/supershuffle.html How can a company...

Hi I just read an interesting article describing the new cell architecture in development by IBM, Sony & Toshiba. (http://www.blachford.info/computer/Cells/Cell0.html) There was an interesting portion of the article dedicated to the Cell architecture and Apple at...

I just noticed this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/14/apple_powerbook_g5/ Any comments ? How likely is this ?

Due to a tax on copy media in Canada, ipods were 25 $ more expensive than they should of been... Recently, a Canadian Court ruled that the tax was illegal on mp3 players and today I noticed that ipods are now 25 $ cheaper ! Still expensive for me.. (399$ CAD for 20 GB and 529 $CAD for 40 GB)...

Well if you do a little research you might find some speculated features.. of course no official feature list is available... (we are talking about Apple here) What respect ? You just insulted us both ? I guess its too much to ask to have a discussion on a forum. I respect the work that...

My complains aren't with the upgrade... I find its good to see a vendor upgrade its OS more than once per 5 years or more ... but my beef is with the price tag attached to it... like I said I went from 10.1 to 10.3 ... it was a huge difference... but was 10.2 to 10.3 that much of a leap, enough...

I agree with Guilly. I went from OS X Cheeta (came with my G3 500 ibook in 2001) to Panther just last year.. It was a great leap for me, but after looking at the feature list of Tiger, I wonder why it would warrant its high cost. I'm lucky to be a student and have access to special prices (got...

Well the results are in.... my battery capacity has improved slitely from 741 Ah to 745 Ah (40 minutes of power)... its sad... very sad... I'm running out of ideas.... I saw someone post that they had left their battery alone for 2 weeks (stored seperatly) and that the problem solved itself...

rhg my ibook is from 2001... thus the battery is no longer under garanty... :( if it where I would have returned it by now ehhehe.. The thing pissing me off is that the battery was fine pre-Panther ... it was old and probably lost some of its charge... (2 hrs instead of 3) but it wasn't 30...

Arg ! My battery is sooooooooo dying.... either that or I haven't found the right solution yet... Everytime I discharge the battery... the capacity goes down significantly... Using a few commands I've checked my battery capacity that was at 1200 Ah (which should be at 3500 Ah) and its now down...

I'll try that out.. Thank you in advance.

I went from 10.1.5 to 10.3... great improvement.. but battery life of 1 hrs is nuts... Sometimes it goes down slowly and then suddenly just sleeps. but just before sleeping the battery was at 60 %... If I do any interesting use of the laptop.. (compiling something or actively using it..) my...

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed their battery life to be shorter after installing Panther ?? I'm using an ibook G3 500 w/ 256 MB ram and I'm at 1:20-1:35 at Longuest battery life settings... Is this normal ? I used to get at least 2:00 - 2:30 on 10.1.5 ? Could a few people post...

I went from 10.1.5 to 10.3 and never looked back... significant improovements across the board.. I have a prehistoric ibook2 G3 500 w/ 256 MB ram.. (the first model of ibook2) and everything is faster.... its well worth the money...

Hi all, I'm trying to add fonts to the Apple X11 server but the server doesn't seem to find the fonts. Better yet, I'm not even sure that trueType fonts are loaded by default since it doesn't show up in the fontPath list and Where the hell is the configuration file !? (Apparently Apple...

Actually, I did use my educational discount.... Panther is actually 179 $ CAD ... but with the discount.. it cost me 99 $ CAD.... I wish I would have used the discount when I bought my laptop ... I would have been able to buy a TiBook for the same price I paid my ibook... Anyways... I'm in...

I'm going to be doing a fresh install on my ibook G3 500... Its old now but hopefully it'll be the little laptop that could :P ... I'm running a prehistoric 10.1 right now.. so I'm expecting a huge difference in all areas... I'll fill u guys in as soon as I install it, althought that won't...

:) I just checked and fedEx just delivery my copy.. Now If I could just skip my courses and head home... How many people have received their copies too ?
