Thats good. My Mac mini is going to supposivly take 3-4 weeks to get here. I hope to god it doesn't take that long and Apple delivers in a shorter time span. Yet the demand for them is outrageous right now. At work we recieved about 50-60, and they were gone in about a half-hour. Apple employees aren't allowed to buy the Mac mini shipments that come in right now due to the customer demand. Atleast at my store anyways.

Does anybody think that I'll receive TWO ipods? :laugh: :shifty:

There was nothing stopping me from changing the quantity of promo iPods at the online store... could I have purchased more iPods at halfprice? :whistle:

cman yep that's right. They're the new PB's. This will be my first Mac but I have emulated Panther on Windows (if that counts); PearPC. I haven't used a Mac thoroughly though, besides the occasional iMac and eMac use at school and uni. I'm an Apple fan though! (20GB iPod 4th gen owner). :)

Be sure to post pictures. ;)

Or maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe he was saying 'I haven't touched an Apple all my life.' And since he was born before the creation, it counts? I don't know, that's what my head told me when I read it.

I will post pictures of my new G5, soon. Just got it yesterday. :happy:

My PAURbook is free at last.

I don't know if I'm allowed to post pictures here, but I think it should be okay. :blush:

My PB arrived two hours ago but I had to go and deliver the 20GB iPod that came with it (I purchased the Cram and Jam promotion, $200 rebate when buying a PB and iPod together). So I've had a chance to unwrap my baby and get it up and running (registration, account info, etc).

It's simply beautiful! :cry:

I've attached one picture out of many that I've taken, I'll post more up if you guys want but it's nothing you haven't seen before. I'll be back in a few hours (or tomorrow) because I want to do a bit of transferring files, etc. I don't have the Internet on the PB so I'll have to make do for now. (I only have dialup at home).

A few things that I noticed:

- It came preinstalled with OS X 10.3.7. I was about to download the Combo Update! (on dialup!)

- I don't have a SuperDrive but it came with iLife '05 preinstalled with iDVD 5 and GarageBand 2. (Is this supposed to happen? I thought I only got the CD version preinstalled. Doesn't matter!).

- The recovery CD's (OS X and OS9) were both DVDs... I was expecting a couple of CD's!

In a sentence: I simply love my PB. It's fantastic! Currently taking it's first charge... :D

My Mac mini was "Partially Shipped". The Wireless keyboard and mouse should be here tomorrow. Yet that does me no good lol. Im still waiting for the Mac mini to be shipped.

Only the 15" and 17" models come with backlit keyboards. So no, mine doesn't have the backlighting. Truth be told, within 20 minutes of usage I managed to freeze the computer! (I'm not kidding). I inserted the Mac OS X DVD (just to check it out) and had System Preferences open - I was trying to change my trackpad settings. It stopped responding but I was able to move the cursor around. I didn't know how to "ctrl-alt-del" so I rebooted it... I don't know what went wrong! :blush:

It is running fine now, I haven't been able to do much with it (no Internet, I won't have the Internet on it for a while, until I get broadband). Other than the slight hiccup, it's fantastic! I only have to go back onto the PC for the Internet (for the time being). :)

    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
    • It pretty much has to be compatible with MS Office or it is going nowhere. The rest of the world runs office including Europe. If it is not compatible it will not survive.
    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • RapidRAW 1.5.7 by Razvan Serea RapidRAW is a beautiful, non-destructive, GPU‑accelerated RAW image editor designed for speed and simplicity. It uses a lightweight (~30 MB), efficient code base built with Rust, React and Tauri. Ideal for Lightroom workflows, it offers rich editing tools—exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites/blacks, tone curves, HSL mixer, dehaze, vignetting, film grain, sharpening, clarity and noise reduction—processed in real-time on the GPU. Features include intuitive masking (brush, linear, radial, AI-powered subject and foreground detection), generative edit layers (via ComfyUI), 32‑bit precision, and full RAW format support through rawler. RapidRAW also provides library management (folder navigation, ratings, metadata, EXIF viewer), batch operations, export presets (JPEG/PNG/TIFF), sidecar editing (.rrdata), undo/redo history, customizable UI themes, smooth animations, resizable panels, and preset copy/paste. A modern high-performance Lightroom alternative with polished UX and creative tools, RapidRAW brings powerful photo editing to photographers seeking speed, responsive GPU feedback, and streamlined workflows. RapidRAW v1.5.7 release notes: This update serves as a direct follow-up to the core architectural migration introduced in v1.5.6. While the transition to a more modular state management system marked a significant step forward for RapidRAW's stability and long-term maintainability, it also introduced several edge cases and regressions within the library and editing workflows. This release focuses on addressing those issues, with a particular emphasis on a complete overhaul of library performance to ensure smooth and responsive browsing following the refactoring. It also resolves inconsistencies in the copy-and-paste workflow and expands RapidRAW's accessibility by adding support for eight additional languages.

    • Thank god they got rid of the disgusting looking sidebars, and the corner radius looks much better, too. Two things I hated on day one, and never got used to.
