Apple Store employees do not have any selling incentives or comissions at all, beyond general store wide total sales goals. They also do not (except for the technicians/Geniuses) have access to any performance info that the general public does not have. List subscribers here probably have more

Re: New iBook Options (or lack thereof)

Long live the Pismo! One of the most interesting PowerBooks ever produced and now with the possibility of G4 AltiVec capabilities! I'm holding off on the G4 upgrade but will benefit from the experience of others here when my time comes. I have a 500mhz, so I won't gain much there and I still hav

I am leaning towards the PowerLogix offers 500MHz 'Pismo' PowerBook G3 upgrade for my Pismo which is on special for $299, as I could use a bit more speed for Photoshop. http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/0206/14.powerlogix.php Tom Donald Keenan wrote: > I went with a 500mhz/30gb Pismo exactly

Re: New iBook Options (or lack thereof)

I went with a 500mhz/30gb Pismo exactly because of the versatility. My demands don't even come close to living up to the potential use of the Pismo. When reading comments at a forum at either PowerBook Central or another 'Book site, someone actually wanted to trade his TiBook for a Pismo. He w

Re: New iBook Options (or lack thereof)

I'm not sure I understand either. It felt like he accidently let this claim slip, given his body language and furtive gestures and expression when I asked him to explain. I was shopping around for my first mac and decided to go with a portable. (I've since added an iMac) I had done my research

Re: New iBook Options (or lack thereof)

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that he made up the thing about the 12-inchers performing better and therefore couldn't back up his claim, or that he accidentally let it slip out and then didn't want to say any more about it? Donald Keenan wrote: > Four months ago I went to my local

New iBook Options (or lack thereof)
