Re: It's official.

First of all, welcome!

Next, you might want to check out [link|http://www.thepowerbookguy.com|The PowerBook Guy] for reconditioned iBooks and PowerBooks. I've dealt with him in the past and have had good luck.

The online Apple store does have a [link|http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71802/wo/Kr6jkGHI3Ky62DepgcX1CNXMMyK/0.0.7.1.0.6.13.0.4.0.0.0.0.3.1.1.0?100,66|Special Deals] page where they offer reconditioned hardware so you may want to check that out. If you're affilliated with a school, you could also look at their education discounts. (About 10% on hardware, I think.)

I don't live with Windows at home myself, but my workplace is quite Windows-centric and I have no problem using my PowerBook (with OS X 10.3.x) there. YMMV, as always.

important facts of the universe."
Treatle nodded. "I hadn't looked at it like that," he said, "But you're
absolutely right. He's really pushed back the boundaries of ignorance."

Firefox is probably still chock full of debug code. -NT - (admin) - (1) - July 14, 2004, 03:57:17 PM EDT

Not native Cocoa, AFAIK. -NT - (pwhysall) - July 14, 2004, 04:10:06 PM EDT
