You Won't Believe This... (PowerBook scratched and dented)

[Kingsly]

Good luck iGary, I'll be rootin' for you.

 

[iGary]

Have you tracked the PB this morning?

Yeah, it will be here in a couple of hours.

 

[Glenn Wolsey]

I dont know if I like the idea of you having a working machine iGary, what will we do without threads like this to keep us occupied?

Nah, don't settle for less than a brand new 2.7 PowerMac, but really push your case for a Quad...

 

[WildCowboy]

Yeah, it will be here in a couple of hours.

Nine hours gone by, and we're still waiting with bated breath for the verdict on the new machine...don't leave us hanging!

Haha. Either 1) the machine is awesome and he's fiendishly doing work that was due hours ago, or 2) it's another dud and he's been on the phone w/ AppleCare the whole day.

 

[iGary]

It came and it's fine - I had a shoot out on the water tonight.

UPS didn't deliver my RAM.

Still waiting for a verdict on the PowerMac.

 

[WildCowboy]

It came and it's fine

Woo hoo!!! Now put it through its paces until you find something wrong with it.

 

[Kingsly]

It came and it's fine

yay, finally some good news from an "iGary's computer" thread.

I want details! I've been considering doing the same - purchasing a refurb 15" PB instead of shelling out $2,300 for a MBP.

I know you've been busy...hopefully getting work done on the PowerBook.

oh, and where did you order your memory from?

 

[iGary]

It's a great laptop - does my panorama renders nice and quick - the lit keyboard surprised me the first low-light time I used it.

I got my memory from Data Memory Systems for the first time - and all 2 gigs works great so far. (Thanks to CanadaRAM for the referral.)

They still have 15: refurbs with the 128 VRAM, and 80GB HDD...

Sorry to hear about the continues trouble you have.....hope you get a PM in good shape or a new Quad

 

[FadeToBlack]

Damn man, sorry to hear about all the trouble you've been having with your Power Mac, then to receive a scratched and dented refurb PB on top of that. Wow. At least you got the new PB in and it's fine. Definitely glad to hear that.

Your Power Mac is definitely a lemon and they should replace it for you. Hopefully you'll be able to get a new Dual 2.7, so that you'll be able to actually work without worrying about kernel panics and other problems.

Ya know, I've used Macs for well over a year and out of all the Macs I've had in that time, (eMac, Power Mac G4, iBook G3, PowerBook G3, PowerBook G4 Titanium) I never once had a single kernel panic or any significant problem. The PowerBook had a problem where it would just go to sleep when you moved it around, but I knew about that problem before I got it.

Good luck with the new PowerBook, man!
