Powerbook G4 15inch, 1gig ram speaking of which if someone wants the two 256mb sticks I have brand new never used I'll sell them pretty cheap. Well my prob is I want to change the desktop.

giga Veteran Posted April 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 17, 2004 Congrats on your PB! /me hopes to get one in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunniz Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 Thank you its a fun thing especially since i can use Alias Maya on the go now. Meaning I can get more productive with what I want to do as a job for the rest of my life. A career is that I was trying to say. Heheh good luck on the purchase it took me about 5-6yrs to get on finally. Yay! :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
session Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I think say... if you buy it today, Apple would automatically update your PB to the new one so it's not necessary to cancel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again ' :D The Airport Extreme card is similar to a pcmcia card but they did some different stuff with it (so it wont work in pcmcia slots and pcmcia cards wont work in its slot) if you pop out the battery its slid in underneath it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 WRT the original question. Right click on the desktop (or if you're using the trackpad: hold CTRL while you click to simulate a right-click) and choose "Change Desktop Background..."

John Veteran Posted April 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 18, 2004 on the desktop apple i usually just swipe my finger over the lcd and that light comes on and bam im in the preferences for my laptop. :huh: I know a little bit about Macs but I'm mostly a Windows guy. Could someone please explain what he's talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunniz Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hey man its simple. On the cool 17-23inch LCD Displays, if you rub your finger on the lower left half of the plastic portion of the monitor it will illuminate and pulse for a few seconds and bring up the Display properties. Its a cool little added cool feature of the Apple LCD's. :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
