damn, i've becme a macaholic.

Started with the iPod, then the Mac Mini, then the iMac, now I'm buying an iBook.

12 inch one FULLY LOADED.

I need something small to take to lectures and when going on trips.

My Custom Toshiba is too big, the iMac is for downstairs, and the Mini is on the same desk as the laptop.

I got two close friends to buy iMacs and iPod minis

oh and i just bought a shuffle today as well!

the strange thing is, I WANT MORE!

APPLE MOBILE, APPLE CAR, APPLE TV! Ooooooh Apple Tv, Imagine it in it's all whity laquer ipody goodness. mmmmm tasty.

Oh quick question. (since i cant sleep thinking about it)

If I go to the Apple store tomorrow and ask for everything (actually I kind of fibbed its 765 mb ram not the 1.2 gb so its not THAT fully loaded) will they have it>

If not will they do it for me there (spec it up) and ask me to come abck in an hour. I dont think I can wait a whole day :'(

well technically crazy, its aluminium but there used to be titanium ones, hehe.

well amnesia you could always get a g5, mebe get an old imac like a g4 and/or a g3, they arent that much on ebay... you could get a powerbook, an emac, make sure you get the ipod socks... (they are actually really good...)

I didn't think Apple held BTO Mac's in their stores. Depends on what you want adding, but I always was under the impression you'd need to order it, if you wanted a non stock specced machine. Guess it depends - you could just buy the RAM at another place and install it yourself? What else would you be wanting?

Bluetooth i'd imagine - which isn't stock, and isn't installable either.

Larger HDD?

If they have stock of one of these machines, great! I'd imagine maybe not though, so maybe you should call them first! :)

i already own a G5 :D

I managed to get mine, max spec just the ram 765, that's great. Took me an hour of waiting and got over 100 pounds discount with my student discount.

I'm loving it now, and thinking of modding it.

That mactv is ugleh :p

I want a plasma screen that looks like a G5, that would be sweet.

I was near the Apple store anyway (staying at a hotel) so i popped in, asked some Q's and walked out with a nice iBook.

It's updating as we speak.

One problem I have though is with my WIFI.... It says wrong password and it's right. I'm sure of it.

Someone said to do a Disk Fix to fix permissions.

Guess I'll try that.

Oh and my iBook had a few oil smudges. I guess it's from the ram? It doesn't look refurbished, I'd be ****ed if it was.

I'll post pics later on.

    • I noticed this was already happening within my organization; my teams location will change between remote and on-site without me having to do anything. Is it possible this is live already for select customers?
    • I wonder what it will show when I'm plugged in with my ethernet cable at home and not using WiFi.
    • While LibreOffice is not pleased to see a new competitor, they are absolutely correct in stating that Euro-Office using a MS file standard as a default is not being truly "European." Using a MS standard just means Euro-Office is just a "bastardized MS Office Suite." (Wasn't a major purpose of Euro-Office was to get away from being captive and enslaved to MS's Office Suite??)
    • Microsoft continues its long-term policy of spying on their users--despite vehement denials. That feature will be disabled (or removed) either "elegantly" with MS providing a true way to disable it, or "quick and dirty" via a third-party who WILL come up with a way to disable it. Your choice MS...
