xTanium Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Finally, after having to deal with a crappy old dell with Win ME (xp ran horrible) dual booting with server 2003, it has arrived. My powerbook. I tried to not spend too much because I am the one paying fo this, not my parents :( :sigh: But anyway I got it with Jaguar/Panther (need them both) and a 3 Year Warranty. My 15 GIG iPod is on the way :hooray: and just went and bought an AirPort Extreme card. Here are the specs: 15.2 inch widescreen 60 GB HD 512 MB RAM AirPort Extreme DVI Output :finally: S-Video Out Panther/Jaguar 1 GHZ G4 Combo Drive (Have external DVD burner) I'm so happy to have a new computer and my first mac. I also got Office and Final Cut Express from a friend :shifty: and am so happy that I finally have something good to do my work on. Pictures coming soon.

isus Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 get acquisition and pay the $5 registration. it's not better than itms, but it's good for tracks from ignorant bands who refuse to sell on itms, like rhcp or linkin park. congrats on the pbook. i envy you.

QuarterSwede Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Today I bought my first 23 songs on the iTMS. God, now that I've used it, it seems like i can't live without it. I love mac. You do realize it is available for XP also right? But I also agree. I love iTunes. Congrats on your purchase. I think I might get an iBook or Powerbook next purchase. I really need a notebook computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisoned is pretty good as well (and free). It even has really nice integration features with iTunes and your movie and picture folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart3ll Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Congrats. I got mine on the 10th. I'm in love. I've been a PC user since my first 80/88 in the mid 80s... Got my first Mac Feb 2003. Now this is my 2nd Mac... went from a 350Mhx G4 Tower to 1Ghz PB... sweeet. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Poisoned is pretty good as well (and free). It even has really nice integration features with iTunes and your movie and picture folders. acquisition has integration with itunes as well, and if you feel like being a cheapskate, you can compile the source for free at acquisitionx.org, download the source, and compile. i like acquisition more than poisoned because poisoned never connected to gnutella. it connected to fasttrack, but fasttrack is worthless to me, too many fake files. and acquisition was always just faster and had more sources for files, rare or popular.
