It don't know if anyone here knows this, but bit torrent can be used for other things than pirating :-P

Also, find me a torrent site with more than 10 mac torrents :-P

nice... whats icurve?

[esco]

it's that clear laptop stand under his powerbook

[Martog]

Yeah, the iCurve is very nice! The laptop does not move at all on the stand. I recommend it for anyone with an iBook or PowerBook, would probably work on pc laptops too :)

I like using headphones over speakers. I have a printer and scanner but connected to another computer.

As for other people you could check out the spymac gallery? All these setups show speakers and other stuff like printers etc...

Everyone is realizing that it'll take Apple two tries to get the PowerBook G5 just right, and that'll be a while. The first revision will probably have horrible heat problems, that they'll probably fix in the second revision.

i disagree. it seems they have the powerbook perfected. if they can just put a g5 proc in there, without my lap getting burned to **** and change nothing else about it i would most deffinatly get one.

Some of us are happy to have them stick with a G4. I don't think heat is the only reason they've not got G5s in them.

The 1.5GHz G4 in that Powerbook is pretty much neck-and-neck with the 1.8GHz iMac G5, but remember the newer Powerbooks are ~12% faster.

Of course the G4 isn't faster in all tasks, but when you take the extra 12% into account, they're usually about the same if they're not faster. I've definitely noticed a slight speed increase over my iMac G5 in Photoshop. (which is the main app I use on my Mac)

A G5 Powerbook isn't for the speed. I am sure many of us are dying to see a major form factor change for the Powerbook, not just a 'faster' processor. Apple said themselves a G5 runs better with 2 processors.

Okay, Heres my iMac. I am selling this baby off. If you are in Australia, and want an iMac or know someone who does, PM me ;) Its a 15" model.
