Excellent. So is it much faster because I predicted it wouldn't really be noticeable in your other thread. Hopefully I was wrong though.

its funny cuz i had 1.2 gb of ram in my ibook, and 512 here..and the ibook is just sliiiiiiiightly faster. i was thinking of getting ram from crucial tomm, but i think i might hold off cuz this seems right for now...

congrats on the deal! hope your completely happy with it

thanx....just saw your LOCATION...good luck with katrina...we are still recoverring.....
 
Glad to hear about the 12er purchase...I bought one last month....and I am completely in love with it....also to all of you folks....good luck with katrina....wish you all lots of safety.....
 
Congrats! I have a 12" powerbook on the way as well... I think at least. It said it shipped on Friday for an arrival date of tomorrow but UPS tracking shows that only billing info was received. This is a replacement unit mixup (looooong story) so it may just end up not shipping at all. If it doesn't I'm still going to reorder one. I had 2 15"ers in a row that had problems so its back to the 12"er again :)

My hopes and prayers go out to those in the path of Hurricane Katrina. I wish everyone safety and hope that the recovery effort is as smooth as possible.
 
yea im very excited with it. i was kinda getting sick with people dogging it saying that "its not worth it for the 12 pb ''"...and "just get a loaded ibook'' or " get the 15 pb (was an extra $300!!!!) "...but where i was coming from, going from a combo to a super drive. from non-bt to bt, 30gb to 80gb, IMO is worth the extra $500 i had to put up after selling my ibook. and im sorry but IMO the pb is much nicer/fancier than the ibook. when i bought the ibook, it was my first mac so i went with the cheapest. if would of knew then it was going to be this good...i would of probably saved up for the PB from the start.... :rolleyes:
 
God I love getting new gadgets!
sigh - time I thought about getting one myself! (another gadget that is - still very impressed with my PB!)

I love gadgets too...it reminds me of a fat kid (me) in a candy store (apple store).... :D
 
Man, I love gadgets too... we should start a thread about peoples latest tinkerings with various gadgets/projects

like setting up a MythTV and using their PB and a mobile front end! Man do I ever want to do that!

Sorry, Off topic... Yeah congrats on the PB! MMMMmmm... Powerbook...
