STV Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 i would also like to wish you luck as well as a congrats on your purchase. if you feel the same way that i feel about my tabletpc, then you should take care of it and NEVER LET IT OUT OF YOUR SIGHT. lol good choice on the iBook. it is lighter and cheaper than a powerbook and can be just as powerful (if you put more ram in it, of course). i have been eyeing an iBook for quite sometime, but i imagine that i wont get one anytime soon (maybe, maybe not). good luck and enjoy it, STV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantsnyy Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Just one thing that bothers me and gonna fix it tomorrow theres a blue line of dead pixels in the left :( wait... did you switch your wallpaper? if you did... dont select strech to fit, select strech (or its the other way around, i can't recall), that "blue line of dead pixels" is the default apple wallpaper, it happens for me too. it happens whenever i set any new wallpaper (the previous one is still displayed) this seems to only happen on 1024x768 wallpapers for some reason see if that works before you return it.

laz45 Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 Already Returned it but the dead pixels was not the wallpaper i could see that line when the computer started even on games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
