#1, the older 12" ibooks have no L2 cache. #2, the older 12" ibook also have the same on board graphics as the old powerbooks, yours prolly has a rad. 7500 mobility/32mb. let me assure you this is perfectly capable of running well beyond xga. it was a stupid mistake to cripple the smaller 12" laptops this way, but I guess they had to make the powerbook models that much more differnt. (and your dell from 97 couldn't even use extended desktop when it came out, which i find a bigger draw back) my PBG3/233mhz with an 8mb rage mobility could do 1600x1200 externally.
i just stopped working @ tekserve, one of the largest mac retailers on the east, and by far one of the most respected. I know of no assembly problems. why don't you back it up with a link?
the simple thing is.... you didn't know the hardware you were buying. good job.
To choose among any operating system on a mac (apple doesn't care what you use, since you obviously have the license to the software by owning a mac) you can hold down option while booting to get you into openfirmware.
now installing linux to an already partitioned drive w/ win2k on it, is a big hassle.
you can take your booot strap and shove it in your rear.
The Mars Rovers use old PowerPC based chips that run @ 20Mhz - both of them, and that is the one, only LONE processor.
the mac would make it to mars before the pc.
so yes, you can do alot @ 16-20Mhz.
OK a valid respons

profit.
the person is exploiting a mistake in the software. the software maker did not intend for the bug to be present, but the person exploiting it, knows what he is doing.
your argument is lame. speaking of time on there hands, you must have at least as much as i to be responding to a slashdot article.
I had 2 or three emails back and fourth with this guy, and he doesn't like macs. it's an OP piece, and he told me it's tuff cookies.
of course i did explain how he was wrong... and mac os x would have the same amount of vulnerabilities as other unixies...
hrm.. samba, rendevous, bluetooth auto configuration, wow, sound like it's does.
When i took my new PB out of the box, it found my phone and my internet before i could even tell it to use a dhcp server though my airport card.
I work for a Desk Top Publishing company in NYC, i can't tell you how much eaiser this has made my job. my job security maybe at risk however...
"It's also interesting to note that they compare the cost of this UMD format to ROMs instead of mini-dvds (which would be considerably cheaper to manufacture)."
this is sony, maker of the memory stick (ultra proprietary) and the same company that tried to re-name firewire (which it is officially) to iLink. what would make you think that they would go for a easily ripp-able standard like a dvd?
make it incompatible, add one more step for the pirates.
Good point....... what i want to know is how X performs vs. quartz extreme... i'm pretty sure you linux guys don't have video accelerated desktops... so for all you 600mhz clelery boxes out there, it may be a cho0py ride to expose... any one use this yet?
hey look at me!! i'm a relativley relevant post in a sea of trolls. no mod will ever find me.
Aren't you people gonna be sad when there are no alternatives?
or will you finally be happy playing your DirectX 9 games on your XP box with your MS Mouse and keyboard playing MS flight simulator. and MS users have no options but to use IE, not just for the internet, but basically for the whole OS!!!
but seriously parent is insightful. ms carries the masses with a scary percentage of the market place. it's a loose loose situation. less get's innovated as there's less compitiion, = fewer options & higher prices for the consumer based on what MS thinks is right.
stop thinking MS is in anyway open, or caring about anything but the bottom line, and it's position in the market place. bad bad bad.
three cheers for zealots and people who don't know better, keeping ms strong since '94
just saying your a zealot. Apple has made REAL innovation in places where microsoft has actually gone backwords. People bitch about stuff in X.2, and it get's changed in X.3 along with nifty new features that are actually USEFUL, the os seems to get FASTER and even more STABLE with each release (for the majorities)
did you say somethine? all i heard was wahh wahhh wahh wahh waaaa hhhwaa awhhhwwaaaaa
"he was not being tried for anything." your right, he was fired for something stupid.
but NO one here is talking espionage 007tupid, it was an out door shot, he offered to take it down, it may have been silly to post it, but MS didn't have to go and show it's borg side again.
every freaking week someone leaks longhorn you never hear about that crap. this guy as a PICTURE OF A BUILDING
let me give you an analogy for your "reasonable precautions.
this is like sending a team of navy seals to get back the extra barbecue sauce the lady at mcdonalds gave you.
technically they only are supposed to give you one. why shouldn't they send out the best in the world to get there nugget sauce back? it's dam good!
why? COMMON SENSE>
this guy works in the printing department.
the picture was of a ?Building?
it's fuct, but it's happening, poliicey and "reasonable precaution beat out common sense 9 times out of ten with these huge corporations. it's scary.
you understand and side with it. your scary. let me give you an analogy for your "reasonable precautions.

certainly what the blog seems to say. why would microsoft instantly belive that he was selling these pics to competing firm? aren't you innocent before proven guilty? doesn't microsoft have trust in there employees? why would you hire someone you wouldn't trust with a camera? even a temp agency. Or do they give the PRINTING department access to all the hottests and latest technologies?
regardless... my orig. post was a joke. your sense of humor astounds me.
you r 0wz0red.
lets summarize what youu just said.
mac fan takes photo, get's fired.
OOOHHH SNAP!!! better stop those crazy kids at apple, and all those silly linux distrubutions before they start desiging SIMILAR BUILDINGS
some people belive in justice. and for them, it's not what's the worst case senario, it's WHAT'S FUCKING RIGHT YOU ASSHAT.
yours is the WORST kind of logic, the logic of lawyers and bean counters. YOU are destroying alot of my fav. things at once. not just GPL, but music, movies....
the SOLUTION is to kill the lawmakers, lawyers and politicians. and ANYONE ELSE who can't give a STRAIGHT answer.

OS uses a serperate application which is cleverly named "software update"
it is standalone, but used to be part of the system preferences panel.
