Buffy ,'Lessons'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
With some CRT monitors, the higher the resolution, the lower the refresh rate. So you might have to reduce the resolution to get the refresh rate up to where you want it.
Certain people (myself included) are more sensitive to lower refresh rates. Also, LCD is so much better.
If anyone here is interested, I'm going to have a 1.33 GHz Powerbook G4 up for sale shortly. I've just got to get the hard drive backed up, and then reformat it and install a clean copy of the OS. I believe it has 512MB of RAM and an 80 GB hard drive. I've not even started thinking about price yet, so if anyone wants to make an offer, feel free.
Andi and I are interested again. Do you have any repeat customer rates?
I'm sure we can work something out. Let me check what the going rate on machines of that vintage are.
Daniel, it looks like similar machines are going for $700 to $850 on ebay. This one pretty much just came back from an Apple Care visit to fix any problems and then I replaced it with my MacBook Pro and it's been sitting on the shelf ever since. How does $650 sound?
Just in time for Halloween: I got a rock.
To wind a string around?
This is why I hate shopping almost anywhere in North Texas save Neimans.
Hi hive mind. Crazy question. Comes mostly from frugality. I mentioned in Bitches last night. I'm traveling to FLA next month for a family gathering. 5 days without internet... with family. Plus roundtrip cross country flights with mother. Love her. really.
So the question. I was wanting some sort of entertainment/internet browser thingie. I was looking at trying to get a wifi card for my old PDA, but it's too old. I was looking at some Sony thing, but it's wifi ONLY, and I got to thinking, what if my sisters place doesn't have wi-fi, and I'm kinda sick of Sony (my Clie is blah, and expansion is SONY ONLY parts). So then I'm thinking upgrading my phone to a data package. Which would mean getting the iPhone. Which is cool and all, but a bit pricey. So, is there a *good* item that gives ya browsing (even if it's JUST wi-fi), plays some videos, check e-mails, B.org, and maybe some games and stuff? And less expensive than the iPhone, but easy and cool? (wow, I'm not asking too much, am I?)
iPod Touch?
Just get the iPhone.
iPhone iPhone iPhone!
