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!
I just bought a new MacBook. After a series of problems with MacBook Pro and a discontinued AppleCare (due to my computer having both liquid AND extreme accidental damage. Oops.) it stopped accepting power today. So I bit the bullet.
The new Macbook is smaller, lighter, faster, and has twice the hard disk space of my old computer. I can handle this.

So, whatcha doing with your old one?
t /inevitable MacBook question from Daniel
Hmm. I'm wondering about an iTunes server--what does that do to synching iPods? Do you have to connect the iPod to the server itself?
if you use a program like webdrive, it can load your server as another disk...
Well, since it's a machine on my internal network, mounting a drive should be little problem at all. I just want to be able to present the same iTunes library intelligently to my PC and my PowerBook, but now I wonder where I plug the hardware in to synchronise.
Daniel - I have a couple of old laptops - one is OOOOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD...like Compaq, portable computer old. Do you want items like that too?
So, whatcha doing with your old one?
Stripping out the hard drive and extra RAM, but I don't have much need for the other parts. I could send it along. E-mail me, profile addy's fine. There's not a whole lot usable in it, though - the DVD drive gave me big troubles the last couple of times I tried to use it, the display has a weird burn-in right in the middle of the screen, and the X key and the left control, alt, and command keys are all ded from red wine. And, as mentioned, it seems to be having sudden power issues. The fans are probably good, though, as I replaced them both within the last month.
ita - I think it whether you can revert to XP for free depends on version of Vista - Vista Ultimate or Vista Business, but not Vista Home.
Hmm. I'm having some pretty fundamental comprehension problems. I'm looking at what seems a very simple list of instructions for Firefly on Ubuntu, but I get lost.
The steps are:
Where did I get a media directory?
I'm missing something very fundamental here.
Okay Mac heads. I'm looking at the laptop I want to pick up for myself, and my primary choice is between a 2.4 GHz and a 2.6 GHz refurbed Macbook Pro. The 2.6 costs $200 more.
My question is this -- am I really going to notice the 0.2 GHz for my $200?
