500 MHz ibook... first mac ever... bought it because it makes clients go into an impressive degree of brain freeze, where they equate my ability as a designer and developer with the coolness factor of my laptop and the sheer beauty of OSX, and marvel at how good their website prototypes look in...

Hmm. There's no 199 option in my ADC... there's a 99 dollar gift certificate for students, and a 500 dollar premier ADC membership... nothing in between.... where are you seeing this option at?

If you have a mac dealer in your area, chances are they'll just give you the update disk. I don't think apple actually collects the up-to-date coupons from them... they didn't even ask me for one with 10.1.

Do you have Silk installed? When I installed that and tried to run AIM with the nice antialiased text, it ran ok for a few minutes, then choked and died and wouldn't work properly again after til I turned silk off... and then it worked fine.

I don't have an inactive list anymore... when I reinstalled 10.1 and applied the updates to it, somewhere along the line the inactive list went away. Any idea how I can get it back? As for the networking update and airport update... hopefully between the two it'll resolve the problems I've...

I've had a similar problem with my ibook. I'm on an internal network using airport though. It will lose track of my router and give me one of those "I have to assign myself an IP address" addresses... airport can still see the router, but it doesnt seem to get an IP from it. Sometimes it fixes...

Well that's great! I didn't realize 10.1 came with PHP... I could care less about the absolute latest apache, as long as the one on there is compiled with PHP as a module, handles MySQL, and operates well enough for my uses... but I have to have MySQL on there, too... I use it for a website demo...

isn't VNC beautiful? Try tightvnc, it's still free and 100% compatible with standard VNC, but has better compression settings... www.tightvnc.com I love that tiny program. Before we had that, we had to walk back and forth to our NOC whenever we needed to do administrative work on the...

Hmm. Sounds like I might try that. I just finished installing 10.1 (from the disk, not some downloaded copy) on my white ibook and I'm not noticing any real improvements. Windows still drag slowly, omniweb took 13 bounces to load, although that is less than it was before, I think... MSIE...

Now what would be nice is if omniweb had a kiosk mode... since websites look sooo much better in omniweb than in IE or any of the other browsers I've tried on OSX.... It's amazing what a simple thing like good font rendering can do. It's too bad the flat screen imac didn't happen. Those...

Ten years of experience. Hmm. Did cribs and playpens come equipped with SGI boxes ten years ago? At least, I hope anyone older than 13 or so isn't using numbers in place of letters, typing the names of operating systems in all capital letters, regardless of whether they are supposed to...

Yes, that is what I was referring to before. And I'm pretty sure that it's in the ibook manual.

You have any links for those, Matrix? My ethernet jack broke a while back. Of course, that's a lot harder to replace than a keyboard. JC

Oh, and as for replacable keyboards, yes, they are, but it's about 400 bucks and has to be done by apple USA or apple Canada, unless there's an apple tech in your area licensed to work with the new ibooks. There wasn't one in the chicago area (unless there's one now that they opened the new...

take the keyboard off and put it back on. lock it (use a tiny screwdriver in the center dot at the top of the keyboard) mine shipped unlocked, which gave it, I think, what you're referring to here.

Has anyone run into this.... I added an airport card to my ibook recently, and when I brought it into my office, even though we don't have a wireless network, it was showing that I had internet access via a network called rc62pc. I figured it might be either our air-LAN (connecting our...

Any idea if it will handle Windows 98 and ME? That's what I'd think most people would be more interested in, for home use.

Bought the airport card and a linksys wireless network access point... Other than having a difficult time installing the configuration software for the linksys on Windows ME (don't get one of those if you don't have a windows PC somewhere, you have to do the initial configuration on one) it...

Well, I broke my toy. New white iBook fell off my desk, landed on the ethernet plug, it cracked the ethernet jack, and my local apple repair shop isn't authorized to touch ibooks. They told me I could send it in to Apple for repair, and it would probably cost 400 dollars or more. If I'm going...

is not removable... Soldered in. Neither is the 128 megs on the higher end ones. So, if you do not buy at least the CDR version, you've dropped your possible maximum ram by 64 megs. If I'd known that, I would have put in the extra even though I don't need a CD burner. Hope that helps.
