i don't know how you can handle 256mb in the ibook. sometimes 768mb in mine doesn't seem like it's enough.

I will be upgrading the RAM as soon as I can. It's not a high priority of mine though, I only really use the laptop for surfing the net, I have my iMac for everything else.

Thanks dude. It took me a little while to decide on something that I liked and that was functional. Not used a PC for personal use since I switched way back in January. Originally got a Mac Mini, my brother and his girlfriend have that now that I've got an iMac.

Bass87 - Nice gear, however there is no such thing as a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse.......yet

Fogtripped - My bets are most people clean their desks before posting on Neowin!

Heheh, yeah that's what I meant, as soon as the Mighty Mouse is out in a bluetooth version then I'll snap it up.

Oh, and yes, I did clean my desk before taking the pic's. It's cluttered again now!

Why would anyone want to replace such a great mouse plus has so many buttons!

I know i want all my hardware to match, Apple hardware has a nice look to it, and adding a different mouse detracts from the "cleanness" of the white hardware... or something like that.

im sorry but the mighty mouse sucks its just apple fan boy hype, youd be a fool to change to it from your mx1000. My mx1000 and G5 are good friends they would stomp on a mighty mouse.

I've been using macs for about a year or two now, and have NEVER had a need for a right click or any other buttons. I do everything with my keyboard and i think it's faster. Why apple even made the top have two "regions" is beyond me.

Like somebody mentioned, I like all my hardware to match. With all the shiny white stuff on my desk (iMac, iBook) the black Logitech MX1000 looks a little out of place.

I will buy a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse when they are released, but I may eventually stay with the MX1000.

Bass and nitro...whered you guys get your desks and if you can...could you provide a link?

Mines a Jerker desk from Ikea. Mine's in the Black Ash colour.

bass if u dont mind me asking, how much was that desk?  i was thinking of replacing the one i have now with one from ikea but i am low on funds.  also what are the dimensions of it?

No problem.

The desk was ?58 I think when I bought it, which was about 3 months ago. Looks like the price has gone up to ?64 now though, according to XE.com thats $115.540.

The dimensions are:-

Width: 160 cm

Depth: 80 cm

Height: 72 cm

More than enough space and it is such a stable desk. Well worth the mone:yes:s:

    • I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
    • M$ can bring whatever the hell it wants, and then guess what's not installed in my Mac.
    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
