12 AluBOok support WUXGA?
New member here - howdy! Any way the 12 AluBook (1GHz, the Sept. '03 one) with it nVidia GeForce4 5600 Go supports WUXGA? I'm wondering if I can drive this: http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,119420,00.asp Think it'll work? The specs say it'll drive up to 2048 x 1536, but I wanted to make sure it'd work before I order this thing and have to ship the beast back and pay a restocking fee. :/ Thanks for any help!

Re: Doesn't anyone wait anymore?!
Hello All, I wanted to thank everyone who joined in on this thread. I was speaking from the heart and it might not have needed to be so important, but I'm just tired of upgrades folks. Yea Tiger sounds cool this and cool that, but it just seems that once I FINALLY get comfortable with my damn computer, Apple is racing the clock to make it obsolete. These big OS upgrades make me nervous. It's only a matter of time before the ATI video card in my Pismo will no longer be supported. Tiger supports it. . .for now. In my opinion, Apple needs to SLOW DOWN. They should have just stuck with Panther for a while, and focused their developing efforts to bring back the Newton, and concentrate on a G5 PowerBook / iBook. When it comes to software, I say what most people say about hardware that works. . .if it ain't broke, why fix it?! Anyway, no need to respond to this, I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who prefers to wait it out when major OS upgrades roll out yet again. I just hope someone at Apple reads this and agrees. Maybe Tiger will be the new OS for the next 2 or even 3 years. Apple could stretch it out. . . after all, they have to go from 10.4.0 all the way up to 10.4.9! Thanks again!

Computers are in a constant state of upgrades. As long as your video card is supported by the software your actually running, then everything is fine. :) The only thing I worry about is file format comapatibility. I really hate the nearly non standard file formats for just about everything and the constant inability to open this versions document verses that version. That gets annoying.

Tiger was released 18 months after Panther. Your Pismo is over five years old now, I think it's to Apple's credit that it is still a viable computer choice. I'm not sure what you mean about the video card in the Pismo being supported, Quartz Extreme requires at least a 16MB video card (600mnz iBook and up) while the new Core Video has only a few supported cards at this time. I have the same card in my 500mhz TiBook. --- JSH TiBook Change your thoughts and you change your world. (Norman Vincent Peale) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I understand what you are saying here but Apple has really strived to support older systems while continuing to provide upgrades to the rest of their customer base. Look at how long they have supported OS 9 ! They have to continue to move forward but it doesn't mean you have to. Nobody is forcing you to upgrade to Tiger. I am sure you could use Panther for another couple of years and you'd still be fine. I highly doubt Apple will stick with Tiger for another 2-3 years and I can't see them backtracking to try and revive the Newton either. I am excited by all the upgrades - but that's because I find them increasing my efficiency and making normally tedious task much easier (i.e Automator, new e-mail photo functions, integrating iPhoto, iDVD and iTunes, etc). Anyway, as I said, I do understand and appreciate your concerns but you have to realize that they are not shared universally. While many want to hold off on upgrades, many others want the improved OS for a variety of reasons. Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Doesn't anyone wait anymore?!
Let's get to work! Tiger was a smooth upgrade on my 400 mHz Pismo. 576 MB RAM, 60 GB fast travelstar. Was going to do a clean install and migrate due to the scads of haxies on my Panther system. Updated the haxies, backed up, got lazy and did a straight upgrade. No regrets. Spotlight is great! Find by content never did work under Panther due to some mysterious blockage of the indexing process. Really missed it. Tiger Spotlight indexed 45 GB in under 8 hours. We can now open multiple get info windows on selections of multiple finder items as was possible under 9.x and prior systems. Previous incarnations of X gave a one size fits all coverall info window - useless when trying to compare files/folders. Only two 'issues': My newer tech 6600 mAH battery doesn't seem to calibrate. Time remaining for full discharge/charge never gets calculated in menu bar display - yet. Pecentage, yes. Am cycling, have reset PMU, nvram, etc. Think there is a hard core calibration tactic via terminal that I may yet try. Also am seeing odd behaviour with an Epson 740 inkjet. Won't print via USB, but can access via utilities and get ink levels, clean, etc. On the other hand, I can print to this printer via Airport Express (remote node on network generated on a snow abs), but no access via utilities or ink level check via the new button in print window. Issues may have been present under Panther, only just pulled the 740 out of storage.

Date: Sat, 7 May 2005 15:48:01 -0400 I have to agree with Craig. I originally installed Tiger as an upgrade on my G5 iMac but I didn't like how things were workingI had installed a lot of the haxies and such. So I copied my hard drive to an external hard drive and did a clean install of Tiger. I used the Migration Assistant to bring over stuff. But I had a few applications that I had bought online and I kept the registration in an email archive. In the past (when I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3) I had to open the entire file in textedit and use the 'find' feature for the various apps (maybe I should think about storing them somewhere else..or maybe hard copy). Anyway, with Tiger, I clicked on spotlight and typed in the name of the application. Spotlight found the email archive on the external drive, searched the entire file and had the information for me in UNDER 10 SECONDS! Now, I was EXTREMELY impressed! In addition to speeding up my iBooks, 2002 Quicksilver and iMac, Tiger is just really fast and I'm still looking for the 'bugs' (hype on the part of some nay-sayers). And, best of all, Apple BEAT Microsoft to the release of a 64 bit OS. Running Tiger makes me proud! But, for those of you who still prefer to stay with your present OS, it it OS 8.6 or whatever.that's just fine and dandy. But keep in mind that Apple doesn't support them anymore and there isn't going to be a lot of new software coming your way. Nothing wrong with running an upgraded 7300I applaud you, that's how I started out when I decided to make the switch from Windows to the Mac, but progress is so much more fun. And, that's what I use my Mac for is FUN! Tim On May 7, 2005, at 11:14 AM, Rad Craig wrote: I understand your point, but can't agree with it.

Re: Doesn't anyone wait anymore?!
Hello, I have finally had a successful install on my PowerBook 17 1GHz with 1 Gig of ram. I initially tried the update and when I rebooted everything was slower than molasses trying to go uphill. System Profiler and Safari would not even launch. I then did a reinstall, same problem. I then reinstalled OS 10.3.9 (not a good idea according to Apple) and still problems. Today I decided to bite the bullet and erase and install and now everything is fine. I had backed up all data and software so should not be a problem now.
