I just read about Apple releasing their updated G5s so I thought I’d have a look. I got a bit carried away and decided to max out all the options for the dual processor 2.5Ghz G5.
For a Dual Processor 2.5Ghz G5, with liquid cooling, 8Gb RAM, Two 250Gb HDDs, Superdrive, ATI Radeon 9800 XT […]

I remembered today that Apple had released a version of iTunes for Windows so I downloaded and installed it on my freshly grown PC. I was impressed to discover that as soon as I had installed it and told it to share my music and look for shared music, I had access to all […]

Jo’s iBook turned up yesterday. It’s much smaller than I thought it would be. She’s really happy with it, she was grinning all evening. She set it all up and when I got there we installed the rest of the software she wanted, and set up her net access and email. […]

I’m so lame, I only got around to posting the order for Panther today.
There seems to be something wrong with the form on Apple’s website. It has a
drop-down box where you choose year of purchase but there are no choices in the
box and when you submit the form you get an error telling you […]

Well Macworld has been and gone. iPod
Mini’s (perhaps the worst kept secret of all time) were announced, an
updated batch of iLife apps were unveiled and the G5 Xserve
was debuted too. The iPod Mini’s were a bit disappointing really, the papers
were saying that they were going to be about £100 and they are $249
(£135ish) […]

Hooray, my Powerbook returned at about 10am this morning. Obviously I’m
annoyed that my laptop had to go back but I’m amazed that it only took 5 days,
although really it’s only 3 working days. I can’t fault Apple on their service
(except for the lack of compensation) it was sent away and returned in a […]

As of 1:45 today I am Powerbookless. I rang Apple on Tuesday, UPS
delivered me a box on Wednesday and I arranged for it to be collected today at
12 (so they were nearly on time). I must admit though that I am really
impressed with UPS, the box they sent me was very well padded […]

I rang Apple today and unfortunately I have had to accept that my Powerbook
is going back to them for up to 14 days. Then I got put through to Customer
Relations and I asked what Apple were planning to do to keep my brand loyalty.
I explained that I had spent £2000 five weeks ago and […]

It’s about 10:30 now and I’ve just got off the phone. My Powerbook has
dodgy marks on the screen. They were there when I first got it but I tried to
ignore them. They’re white clouds one either side in the middle of the screen,
they’re not dead pixels as I have some of those […]

Last night I finally gave up on my Jukebox, I took it back to Dixons and
told them that it was broken. I had charged the battery for 12 hours and it
only managed to play for two and a half hours, considering the packaging claims
eight hours playback I considered this broken. The unit had […]
