Hi all,
So I have that other thread regarding which, between a G4 iMac and G5 Powermac, I am going to possibly purchase, but I'm a little uneasy about the lack of OS discs. Googling and Craigslisting has a plethora of people who have discs for purchase, but isn't it kind of machine-specific? Where or how would I go about having a safe backup in the event I need/want to reinstall OSX.4? I looked on Apple's site as well and couldn't really find the answer... I realize as I'm getting closer to purchasing an older Mac for my theatre's playback system, not having the install discs if something happens makes me nervous!
Thanks for your help!

This is more of a selling advice question than a buying as I can't seem to find anything similar on ebay... but I guess it could be posed as a buying question from another standpoint.
What would a very well kept, nearly mint (no scratches or dents/no hardware issues) Late 2008 MBP 2.53ghz w/9600GT 512mb, Express card Slot, C300 256gb SSD, 4gb RAM and new (14 charge cycles) battery be worth?
Or better yet... what's a reasonable price someone would pay for it? I'm looking to sell mine... been jobless for a while and need to pay rent... :(

Yea, my 3Gs is starting to act up a bit. I'm just going to get that replacement back panel and repair my phone so I can sell it...
But my concern is this: What if the iPhone 5 is just a 4.5 (slight spec bump), and since the externals are essentially the same, they could still come out in June. Getting a iPhone 4 now at full price would really bite.
But, what if it DOESN'T come out in June and it really comes out in Sept (still only a 4.5), anyone who waited until June would then only be 3 months away from the 5, and would probably prefer to wait rather then getting a 4 (unless Apple cuts the price a bit). That means those people would have waited 5-6 months while using a rapidly aging phone with a lot of remose for Apple for not being more open with their time table.
With all of these rumors of the timeline shifting, it makes it hard for people who WANT an iPhone to not look towards other options.

Thanks for the advice! I took the leap and purchased a magic mouse, bluetooth keyboard, and 2.4ghz refurbished mac mini from Apple/Ebay this evening! I appreciate your advice and I'm excited to install Plex and check out my new HTPC!!!

... I realize Apple will need what Open Office doesn't have: Marketing Dollars.
Maybe if they just bundle it with new macs......:D

I never had OS9, but I think I heard some of this sound in other places.
In example, the "Quack" one sound me so familiar..., maybe there is a similar sound in Win 95 / 98?

What kind of price range are you talking about here. I have a pretty freakin' loaded T61 14.1" for which I don't know the specs right off hand. I know it has dedicated nvidia graphics, 2GB Ram and 802.11N wireless plus a 7,200 RPM HDD (100GB I believe) and a Core 2 Duo processor. It is still in great shape and is still under warranty until I think Sept.

That would be nice, but it won't work, since people don't read instructions and continually post in the wrong forums, anyway. We could already fill a forum for speculations on the next MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air/iMac/Mac Mini/Mac Pro updates.
I agree. Every product would need their own speculation forum too or it would be a mess (and couldn't exclude the posts in Forum Spy). Mods are already have enough work with moving the current threads.
Trying to keep the discussion in one thread has been tried millions of times but it never works either.

21 Jun 2010 ... Optimized for the Retina Display on iPhone 4. ... The app has only crashed on me once and since it restored the article to right where I left off I still will give it 5 ... If it's crashing for you constantly then I bet other apps are ... I find that it is pretty much the easiest way to publish to.

There is no need to use a "Standard" account (what you call "user"), running the Mac as an admin is just fine. Many do this and experience no problems. I have run Mac OS X for seven years via admin accounts and have had not any problems with that.
If something needs access to system critical files or folders, it will ask for your admin password anyway.

This is the cheapest weighted keyboard that I know of. It's USB and midi, a sustain pedal input and that's it. It's very basic but it works perfectly fine, has pitch bend and modulation. I gave you the link on B&H cause it's the cheapest one that I know of, also I am in love with B&H and I reuse to acknowledge any other website exists ;) It's only 140 bucks. This may seem expensive but it's VERY cheap for a semi weighted keyboard. If you want 88 keys then they have a larger version of that. It's... 200 I think. As for headphones... idk haha

Yup. Multiple restarts.
Could it be the USB connection on the Hard Drive? I've seen before some portable hard drive connections are very sensitive, try moving the USB cable around a bit and see if ejects it. But as the other guy said take it back and get a new one.

Necessary information: I have a MacBook 13�. It is on A/C power virtually all the time. (I calibrate the battery once a month, every month) When I go to bed, I do a shut down. During the day, after use I put it to sleep until I need it again. This sleep�wake cycle occurs about 10 to 12 times a day.
I have been advised that it is �better the computer� to go into Preferences>Energy Saver and set sleep to �never�, as battery conservation is not an issue (alway on A/C power). Also to set the screen to shut down in approximately 10 min.
Which is �better for the computer��to put it to sleep after each use, or to leave it running all the time until bedtime shut down.
Thanks for your advice�

You can't beat the 0.75% returns they are getting on all the cash?
Either you trust the strategic vision of the company, or you do not. If you do not, you should not invest.
Paying dividends and crashing the share price of a fast growing growth stock is moronic. You do recognize there is a direct relationship between dividends paid and drop in share price?
If you want to beat the .75% return because you don't think the company has a good strategic plan, sell some of your position , the net effect is exactly the same. The bonus is that you are now less heavily invested in a company you do not believe in.

I was in 2nd period (Eng :( ) in 6th grade. I don't think any of us really realized the scope of what happened at the time. Pretty soon, administrators came around and told us to turn off the TVs and go back to work. I'll always remember that we had a substitute teacher that day with elephants on his tie. He nicknamed me and 2 of my friends Curly, Moe, and Larry.
I can't believe it's been 4 years already... :(
