thats exactly what they are, and honestly it's not that bad...

still gonna try and see if I can get apple to do anything about it...lol

never hurts to try...

but yea, so it came today. and it's freeking beautiful. I'm not really too sure what to do with it as of now though. I kinda like to just stare at it...

and for some reason I cant get it to connect with my netgear wireless router, but it connected right away with my friends linksys...hmm

That might help if ya don't know about it.

holy crap timan you just made my day...I have a v7339!

Man, that just made this purchase a whole lot better...

I am so happy now...haha

While I'm posting I might as well ask if anyone knows of any dead aim type of programs for the mac? I tried searching but I didn't really come up with anything. I don't really want to use a completly different program, just an addon for aim. I really am just worried about the tabbed windows and getting rid of those ad's. So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know...

And thanks again Timan...

Nice purchase on the powerbook,

With regards to aim dunno about the tabbed convos but the built in ICHATAV allows u to talk on aim without the ads.

after trying Pearpc

I have recently got a 333mhz g3 off someone i know and im already starting to like mac :D

Dont think id get a powerbook though due to the fact that id prob need to run pc stuff on me laptop

although id really love a G5 desktop but not enough $$$$

Theres 2 IM Clients I recommend, Proteus (my fav app) http://www.proteusx.com/ and Adium (decent chat app, alot of people like this) http://www.adiumx.com/ they both have tabbed messaging, and support file transfers the whole thing.

Alright cool, thanks again...gonna check em out...

[ahfunaki]

Well the screen is getting fixed for free...woo

and it turns out that it will be a year old on october 9th, so I ended up being able to buy applecare for it still so I went ahead and did that. So I am covered for 2 more years. I love educational discounts...

Things are good...

[ahfunaki]

And as for the im client, I think I like adium better...

thanks again for the links!

[ahfunaki]

Just in case anyone was wondering about the return time on getting the screen replaced. I live in Ohio, I believe it was shipped to Texas to get fixed. It went out on 9-27-04 and came back today 10-04-04.

So it didn't really take that long, just in case anyone has this issue and needs to get it fixed...

[fuzzy_logic]

Man sounds like you had a really good deal! Congrats again!
