[QUOTE="pcjabber, post: 34832"] A lot of good questions...let's get started. Actually, you [u]are[/u] eligible for the education rebate from Apple. Go [url="http://canadaapp.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/HigherEducationStores.woa/wa/english"]here[/url] to find out how! Ain't that the truth -- :) OK, the fan question -- not sure about, sorry...My iBook G3 won't arrive till this week, and I assume you mean a G4? Sorry....Perhaps someone else can help? Well, even though you said not to, I'll answer it (as long as you take responsibility for all actions you do, etc...). There [i]are[/i] several P2P clients for Mac. You mentioned music, so I'll give you the main music one. It's called LimeWire. Get it at [url="http://www.versiontracker.com/"]VersionTracker[/url] at [url="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10275"]this link.[/url] There are others, for software, movies, etc. Let me know (either thru PM or this thread) if you want more info on the others. Good question, however Jobs did not -- Jonathan Ive did (Apple's designer). I agree, it is insanely stupid. I think at least one USB should have been on the right side....It is on the PowerBook. Anyway, I don't know their motives to do this. Your best bet? Live with it ;). And, get a mouse with a long mouse cable. Or, just become left-handed. :rolleyes: I have used the iBook Dual USB (500MHz), and I will be getting my 700 this week, but I haven't heard any complaints about them. Perhaps they changed the KB between the G3 and G4 series??? Sorry, no idea on this one... Believe it or not, the 12" is [u]very[/u] roomy. I worked on one a month back (which sealed my love for it -- I originally wanted a PB G4, but I can't afford one yet), and I thought it was [i]at least[/i] a 14" screen -- it was [u]that[/u] good. And I have a 13.3"-screened HP laptop at home (which I am typing on right now as I await the iBook -- it is running Linux). So, it's very nice. Dunno about DVDs though.... No problem. Apple is excellent. If you have an Apple Store in your area (or a retailer that sells them) or a friend that has a Mac running OS X (preferably Panther), [b]please[/b] try to use one!
