It's been 3 weeks since i've posted on this site! I finally got my laptop it took 3 weeks to get here, i got it on ebay from a power seller for $899.88 plus a 50buck rebate. It was supposed to only take 2 weeks but they didn't ship it and they gave me an extra 50 buck rebate! now i have a 100buck rebate! so i got the ibook for 799.88!!! plus he refunded my shipping cost of 44.06 cause they didnt' ship it on time so i got my Brand New Ibook G4 for only... $755.82!?!?!?!?! :eek: What a Deal! the wait was worth it! I'm opening it right now, i gotta figure out what to do this is my first Mac :cool:

this is so exciting :p

Collaborate battery - charge and then watch a DVD on full brightness until the battery dies.

PS: what mac did you get, again? lol... and isn't that Mac OS X intro movie cool!!! :D
 
i don't even wanna touch it rite now it's so nice and shiny i'm drooling over it rite now :p
 
wow that is a fair deal you got there!

just explore, things may feel awkward at first but pretty soon everything will feel far more normal than on windows.

you have to tell yourself if you dont know how to do something - just think the simples way and it will probably work!

Ah, so you don't know much about notebooks, do you? :p

You need to collaborate the battery to get it's full life and battery life.

Ok...? iBook G4...? processor speed? screen size? RAM? HD? :p

Oh, and you can post in other places on the forum, too. Not your own personal thread(s) :rolleyes:

Ah, I see. Nice starter machine! :)

If you charge it all the way up, and then drain it 3-4 times, you'll have the best battery life. Just use it as you would with the power supply. ;)

I recommend watching a movie with brightness full blast... drains the battery quick!! Oh, and make sure to have Bluetooth on, Airport on, and your computer is set to "Better performance" - click battery icon on top bar of the screen... you'll see.

Hope that helps...
 
ok it's charging... how long does it take to charge? can i turn it on while it's charging or should i wait till it's done?

Yeah.. it does that on startup. Not unusual. It'll go back to what ever it's supposed to be when it gets fully booted ;)

You got wireless right? Just click the little UFO type thing, idk, next to the sound (left of sound) and click your wireless network.. Oh, and make sure it's on ;). I was connected to the internet during the movie intro :eek:
