The time to order approaches.

15 inch Powerbook G4, 1.67 ghz with 128mb VRAM and dual link DVI output. $2399 ( minus 15% + tax). Come to think of it, that’s how much I paid for my Vaio 505 sophomore year. That thing lasted pretty long.. but too bad Windows 2000 wasn’t really mainstream then, because if it had come […]

Excited to switch.

Was reading a whole lot of Mac magazines at Barnes and Noble. I guess its just not the machines that are nicer.

A dud?

After all this glowing praise for the smartboard, I have seem to come a cross a deal breaking flaw? Sometimes I get random x’s and c’s and v’s. I can reproduce it reliably by holding a certain pair of keys down and the hitting another while those are down. Order seems to matter two, and […]
