Well if you're willing to wait for the next release of OS X (jaguar) it will be an admin tool in the users preference pane. It will be out later this summer (as OS X 10.2 probably..or 10.5). That is, unless they remove it from what they already have in the betas for some reason. And no, I di

Wow. Thanks a lot Michael. That was all really useful. I think I'd rather go with a new 700Mhz iBook with the better video card than upgrade my pismo... I think there would be a greater speed difference and if I sold my pismo on ebay I'd only be spending one or two hundred dollars more tha

New iBook Options (or lack thereof)

Okay...I just went to the Apple site to order my nice new ibook (the cheapest one...the 600mhz 12.1 incher) and...well...since when did they remove the option to add a combo drive??? Now the only option is to get the 700mhz...for 300 dollars more...which isn't a horrible deal but...come on..

The only way to avoid such taxes is to have a friend in the US open up the box and take it out so you can claim that it's "used". This way you don't have to pay as much in taxes. Justin On Wednesday, June 12, 2002, at 01:40 PM, Jim Freeman wrote: > I moved to Canada from the US six months ag

Well, first, laptop (2.5 inch) hard drives don't come in the 7200rpm flavour yet. The highest rotational speed you'll get is 5400rpm, which is pretty good anyway. Second, an external hard drive is just an internal hard drive in a case with an adapter (IDE to firewire)...so they're always goin

Search apple's support site for something called battery reset (I think that's what it's called). It's a utility that is specifically for this problem. I'm sure if you can't find it someone will post the exact address of it. Justin On Monday, June 10, 2002, at 04:35 PM, bill buckhaults wrote
