Hey guys,
about to pic up a machine locally with this description.
1.5ghz
1.25gb ram
80gb 7200rpm
superdrive
scratches all around, one ding on the back, 2 on the bottom, right j bracket loose, trackpad works only intermittently. comes with fresh install of leopard and original box.
What do you guys think? is $395 a good price? I plan on using this machine at my desk only...(i have 12" machines for school, and I wanted something with a bigger screen). I just want to make sure this sounds like the right price. Thanks guys.
EDIT: forgot to mention: I am pretty handy, so I can replace the topcase and keyboard, but just wondering if it is worth it. There were no pics, but I asked for some.

The black screen issue seems pretty prevalent on these G4 ibooks. I have two old G3s and they still work great.
Here's my problem on the G4:
Black screen, no trace or flicker of anything.
Have reset both PRAM and PMU. Still black.
I removed extra RAM and the Airport Extreme card. No change.
Computer works in target mode. I can read and write to the drive from another computer via Firewire.
No image on an external monitor so it doesn't appear to be an inverter or backlight problem. I suspect the video subsystem on the motherboard but I hope that's not it and I don't know the wiring for these, so I can't judge.
Squeezing the area left of the keypad where some are known to have a badly seated chip made no difference, even when I put varying amounts of pressure on it.
Any ideas? It's such a great little machine. I wish it had the same reliability and longevity as my G3s. I'd like to get it working.

I use my Droid's (HTC Aria) WiFi Hotspot feature to tether my WiFi iPad all the time, no issues, and work perfect.

Because Apple do not duplicate the documentation from superclasses in subclasses. The objectForKey: method (not function) is defined in NSDictionary which is NSMutableDictionaries superclass. So any NSDictionary method can be called on a NSMutableDictionary.
Ooh that's good. My bad. Thanks for the clarification! :)

OMG is that sim city 2000 i see on the screen?
The only way it gets better is if that was Marathon running on that Mac.

Hmm. The card should work fine, in fact I've had that model Mac Pro with that card and have gamed in Windows with it, so I'd guess it'll work. No idea if it'll work with CUDA, it should though. Perhaps others will be able to chime in with more definitive answers.

Madonna new music video for "Celebration" is currently being offered for free on iTunes, download it for free while you still can. Anyone think it's worth paying for? I wasn't all that impressed, didn't mind it though. I like Madonna, even in spite of her transition towards dance/club music. What do you think?
Download Celebration (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewVideo?id=328936586&s=143441)
Only works if your in the US!!

Pages, part of the iWork package has a number of templates. I took one and modified it for my own photographs, and my name on the back. Then saved that as a template. Now I just drag and drop my own photos into my own template and print away. You can print onto a full size piece of paper ( 8 1/2 by 11 inches in North America) and then score and fold for big sized card, or you can buy pre-scored card paper in various sizes. I have templates for, iiirc, 3 card sizes now. Save time and put the card size as part of the template name. :)

MacBook Air with 4gb ram would be much easier and faster for you, put it in a spec case for protection and you'd have decent mobile power in a lightweight package.

Get an M-Audio pre-amp, then you can plug any mic into it (Shure, etc).
Pre-Amp provides for much better quality and flexibility...
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MobilePreUSB-main.html
180 bucks for a pre-amplifier? I just want to use it for Skype... and I don't want to carry around a pre-amplifier AND a microphone. I'll probably have a look at bluetooth headsets, that seems to be the cheaper and more portable solution.

im talking GPU (vs hd 3000)
processor isnt everything
Great, the GPU is also better!

Even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be any worse, as that would be ridiculously stupid of Apple and, to my knowledge, they've never come out with a computer that had a less capable GPU than the previous model (though they have come out with computers that had a GPU only marginally more capable). Provided the two GPUs were very close, the i5 is going to make the difference.
Do your research first. I know the CPU isn't everything, but it's a bigger step up than the GPU, which is why I mentioned it.

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows of a place to investigate various PDA's as a friend of mine's mother want to buy her son one (he's 29 :) )but knows nothing about them, so she asked me but it's not something I really know too much about either.
He's a pc user so mac compatability isn't really needed.
Any help would be appreciated as most of the site's I've found are useless.
Thanks

i'm glad i didn't pay for it...
you can only defrag and make password protected volumes on mac formatted ipods.. i have mine windows formatted so that i can use it for file transfers... oh well, send to trash...
reality
Is that not stated anywhere on the download screens??
Gonna be a lot of unhappy downloaders.
