PBs kick arse...

Posting from the new Powerbook. Woot.

Couldn't log in with Safari, though. Do you guys have that problem?

I dig the wifes 12" PB.

You get wireless? Airport rules... real nice not having to run up and down the stairs to my computer anymore to log on... and no wires!

Cannot help with safari though... I use Netscape 7.02.

There are some hacks available/programed into Safari to emulate various other browsers. The MacCentral forums have some stuff on it some where... but I have not looked there in awhile.

Edit:

MacCentral Forum link

Something called Safari Enhancer which lets one mess with a Debug menu... Sounds easier to keep an old browser available.

No wireless yet. The airport card + base station would have strained the bugdet a little. I do have something almost as good, a nice long cat5 cable that lets me surf from the comfort of my couch, which is what I'm doing now.

Wireless is definitely on the list of possible future upgrades, especially if/when the office gets access points (might be a while, we're still on token ring, with plans to upgrade our floor to 100mbit ethernet sometime next year. Welcome to the 90's! :)).

By the way, the VPN client works just fine. I'm a happy camper.

yeah... are quite expensive...

then again when you are getting topline powermac and 12" powerbook two cards and a base station were a drop.

You are correct though, they are quite expensive unless you have a real good reason... so wait till you get your 17" PB!

I'll chime in

I'm a MAC user, so I guess add me please:

Username: caudor
Location: Bedford, TX

Actually, I own both MACs and PCs. My story in brief: For the longest time I was torn between the MAC and PC platforms. For about 8 months, I tried to become an OS X-only user and switch totally to Mac. That didn't work out, so I then vowed to be happy as just a PC user. That didn't work either...I had tasted the Apple's wine. Man, I was really torn. Finally, I decided not to be denied the benefits of either platform, so I now happily use both.

I enjoy using OS X for creative work and I use Windows XP for stuff I need to do in Windows (such as playing Temple of Elemental Evil :) ).

D&D is one of my passions; I've been playing since 1980. I like using the tool called DM Genie (which is PC based) to help with organizing my games.

My Mac is a G4 1 Ghz with a Radeon 8500 video card. When it comes time to upgrade, I'm sure I'll make the leap to a G5. I'm sure I'll wait until Panther is released before I get a hardware upgrade.

It is nice to see so many Mac users on the boards.
 




Sorry, I didn't realize the file was so huge. Someone sent it to my wife, and she already had it downloaded to the browser when I saw it.

It was pretty long, but I loved it.
