G4 it is a total piece of shit and I regret getting it. At any
rate, I upgraded from itunes 6 to itunes 7, and now itunes 7
crashes every 5 minutes. I deleted it and tried to install itunes 6
again, but now the itunes 6 GUI keeps saying "Custom Install

Also, does this pave the groundwork for porting OS X to all PC
machines?
\_ You know, you guys are trying to find good technical reasons
for the move. I think it's actually simpler than that. Economics.
IBM can't produce their chips cheaper than Intel, which we all

Do you need a special adapter/voltage controller or can you simply match
the voltage requirements and trickle charge it? -scottyg

2004/12/11-12 [Computer/HW/Laptop] UID:35250 Activity:very high | 12/02 I have only used Mac laptop (powerbook). However, I am not making
lots of money these days and mac laptops are just too expensive.
To those who have used both Mac and PC laptop, are there cheaper,
faster PC laptops that are no less reliable than the powerbooks?
Are there going to be features that I will miss if I switch, like
target disk mode, etc?

"designed from the ground up for OSX," is really bad.
\_ Slow? FF seems as fast as Safari to me. Load time is slower than
Safari, but once it is loaded I can't really tell any difference.
\_ Did you try resizing the browser window? That was where I
noticed the big difference. I'm on a recent G4 Powerbook

90% of the apps I use have Mac OS X versions. But what's keeping me
from pulling the trigger and buying an PowerBook is that 10%. I have
some legacy windows app that doesn't have OS X version. I'm wondering
if there is emulation software and how reliable is it? Thanks.
\_ are you talking MS Windows or os9? There are both. The

for RAM for a while, I looked around on websites and noticed some
module manufacturers such as Kingston offer "ValueRAM" (order by spec)
and system specific ones. There is a large price difference between
the two, but try as I do, I cannot think of a reason a config.
specific module is better than a "Value RAM" rated for the same spec,
