hi folks,
a friend just bought a new shiny 15 G4 and we have a couple of questions to
get started:
- filling in the registration at startup and sending to Apple is enough to
have the PB registred (with serial Nr., etc) to her name for all purposes?
Or is something else needed?

Hi all,
Bob has some excellent suggestions in his message snipped here for
brevity.
Luckily, you do not have to get a special ethernet cable for your
computer as all PowerBooks since the Ti model have auto sensing
ethernet ports. What this means is that you can use *any* ethernet
cable

Keeping it as cool as possible would be my #1 priority. Heat is the biggest enemy

I have a very new PowerBook 1GHz 15 Alu with Panther.
I have updated it to X.3.3 and not installed any odd stuff,

However, it does feel very slow with the GUI response, for
instance swapping tabs in Safari or switching program,

worry about it. It is just a percentage rating based on a memory cell and a
