Re: Intel Macs....
Though the term Low-End-Mac seems inappropriate for a 2K - 2.5K laptop; the common underpinning under all of these computers is the OS. While unfortunately the latest Al-Books don't allow booting to OS9, and there are some discussions on this list regarding OS9 problems; this lack of functionality hasn't stopped the inclusion of said 'books. One of the most effective things regarding the Apple system is the community that has built around it, and welcomed new Win'tel converts. Whether you believe this latest move on Apple's part is good or bad, to begin to dissolve that community for simply a means of protest against a bit of silicon seems silly and does a disservice to this list and the potential transfer of knowledge through discussion.

Re: Intel Macs....
If those published stats hold up to real world comparisons, that's one helluva impressive laptop. Before we wet our collective pants on this one, best first check out: http://weblog.infoworld.com/enterprisemac/archives/2006/01/the_mac_perform .html Inter alia, in notes: Apple used multiprocessor benchmarks to skew the performance advantage that its Intel-based machines enjoy compared to single-core PowerPC G4 and G5. Apple used the industry-standard SPEC suite components SPECint2000 and SPECfp2000, but here's the catch: Apple used SPECint_rate2000 and SPECfp_rate2000.

Interesting; with this switch to the beginning of abandoning Classic (not only booting to OS9 but rather the entire software that runs under classic) 10.4.X will probably be the last OSX that will include any support for classic at all.

Re: 10.4.4 and update for ... PB's ?
Any one have an idea of what software is not working with 10.4? Beyond having learned long ago not to be an 'early adopter,' as a freelancer the cost of all the necessary upgrades is always a deciding factor. I shutter to think how much money I've spent on upgrades since my first Mac (a $5,000 12 mhrz Mac II with 1 meg of RAM and a 10 meg HD)... we've come a LONG way! Today, my cell phone has more power.

Re: Intel Macs....
Well said, Michael. I have used Macs exclusively since 1985 and enjoy the lists I am on, learning from them all. I will admit to a tinge of discomfort when I heard about intelmacs. But last night I watched Jobs' Macworld presentation via the Apple site and must admit to feeling the urge to pony up for the new iMac. When one moves forward there is always something to be left behind... I hope there are no deal breaker issues with this transition.

While unfortunately the latest Al-Books don't allow booting to OS9, and there are some discussions on this list regarding OS9 problems; this lack of functionality hasn't stopped the inclusion of said 'books. One of the most effective things regarding the Apple system is the community that has built around it, and welcomed new Win'tel converts. Whether you believe this latest move on Apple's part is good or bad, to begin to dissolve that community for simply a means of protest against a bit of silicon seems silly and does a disservice to this list and the potential transfer of knowledge through discussion.

Applecare on Powerbooks ?

Re: 10.4.4 and update for ... PB's ?
Has anyone tried RealPlayer (version 10.0.0 (331)) with 10.4.4? I updated OS X this afternoon, and I can't get RP to work with the radio stations I've been listening to for months using 10.4.2 and .4.3--it starts to open them and then just hangs there. I deleted the preferences file, and still no luck. I CAN listen to the same stations using Windows Media Player--but I hate having to use Windows-anything unless I have to. RealPlayer tells me I have the most current version, too. This obviously isn't an earth-shattering problem, but I just hate it when something that used to work, stops. :) LaterHoward -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Yours, Run (206) 760-0462 --- To turn a DVD player into a multi-region player, you need to apply a non-official, hacked firmware that removes the limitation of that stupid region check. There are some risks associated with this but everytime I did it, it went fine. Now, you would need to find if somebody came out with a firmware for your specific model.

Has anybody here had any problems with getting these two items repaired under Applecare ? Amber - this is patently untrue. Call again and if this tech support person makes the same claim, firmly but politely request that your call be transferred to a supervisor. The first person you talk to is a gatekeeper whose job is to make you go away. I've had three keyboards replaced. My first iBook lost the 'e' key and without question the tech support woman immediately asked for confirmation of my address to send a new keyboard. My second iBook the keyboard failed entirely and I was warned that when I returned the original keyboard it would be examined for abuse and water damage and I might be charged full price. I was quoted $99 if I remember correctly. I was not charged. My current PowerBook has had 2 keyboard replacements. The first developed a stuttering '5' key - sometimes it wouldn't type and other times it double typed. Of course the PowerBook keyboard isn't user replaceable. It was replaced under warranty. This winter the latch began to sporadically fail to close. This was repaired under AppleCare extended warranty AND when it was returned the paperwork mentioned a new keyboard. The backlighting had stopped working on the number keys and I guess the tech noticed it. I didn't care and hadn't even thought about getting it repaired. BTW, if you have a local Apple store or independent dealer you might want to deal locally rather than over the phone. I think it is much easier to say no to a voice over the phone than a up close and personal. david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Applecare on Powerbooks ?
Part of the plastic came off the battery latch of my dual USB iBook a few years ago and Applecare would not replace it, saying that this problem could have only been caused by user abuse, not a defective latch. I know I didn't abuse my iBook, but after talking to several techs, the only option I was given was getting a new encasement at my own expense. I actually resorted to a cheaper solution of using tape to hold in the battery.
