I just would like to know if some pismo owner using it mainly under
Panther has succeeded to keep more than three hours his machine living

Has someone bought a new battery and succeeded to use the pismo for a

just wondering if anybody has had success with usb wireless internet
adapters.
I see that linksys makes one, and there are some other small companies that
also do.

Well, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm going to describe it. Try not to
laugh. :)
I recently downgraded from a 21" monitor to a 19". Hopefully
temporarily, but let's not get into that...

I've had a Toshiba 60GAS drive in my wallstreet for almost two years now.  It
is very quiet, but lately has been acting up (unable to read/write) when the

Given the current exchange rate, I'm sure that this question has been asked
before - so please forgive me if it has BUT:
Are there any problems using ibooks purchased in the US in the UK? Has
anyone any experience that they can share on this topic?

I'm thinking of buying an iBook (first time iBook user, and soon to be
teacher), and had a few questions I was hoping someone could help me
with....
First, I'm a bit confused about the Airport Extreme...do I need an Airport

I need a nice slim leather bag for my tibook. I am tired of targus crap, I
want something that matches my 'book's looks.

Anyone get one of these yet? How do they compare to the other iPods? Are

  If I get my (very young) daughter an iBook (preferably the old
'toilet seat' kind), I'd like to make it impossible for her to pop out
the CD tray by just pressing the button on the side.  Is there anything

I've got an Apple Powerbook 3400c with 144 megs of RAM, and I'm
