:confused:
Why on earth would an external hard drive speed up anything? If you need a ton of storage, a backup drive (say for Time Machine, extra music/videos/etc), or just want some insurance against hard drive failure, get an external drive.
But buying one and hooking it up to the Dell or a new MBP isn't going to do anything to make them faster, and it certainly won't fix a year old Dell that's breaking down.
I've yet to buy a PC notebook that has lasted for over a year. It seems like the day that year warranty expires is when they break down. Hard drive failure, hardware issues, etc. That's why I switched to a Mac, which has been going strong since I got it.
Take the money you'd spend on a hard drive and put it towards a MBP. It's a much better investment, as I guarantee the Dell will only get worse.
This is completely true, and I've just been hoping that the Dell would get better, but I will be buying a Macbook this year sometime, thx for the comment, I'm glad I know I'm not the only one :P .

Just a question...
When you are browsing the rumors page, on the right hand side you can see the different forum categories ie. Mac Rumors Articles, Page 2 Rumors, Buying Tips ect.
now, most of these headers have a blue background but the Macbook Air header has a redish background and I am curious as to why this is.
My original thought was that it was a 'hot category' but it has been red since before the update and im not sure that it is the hottest category in these forums...
anywho, does anybody know the answer to this question?

The answer to your question is if you need mobility? The iMac you get more bang for your buck but it is not mobile. I too debated this question for some time. Since I always had a desktop grant my desktop was almost 10 years old & still kicking (windows pc). Now the notebook segment has some pretty powerful processors which are almost a desktop replacement. In the end I went with the MBP 15" 2010 model. Very happy with my decision. I use it more desktop than mobile. So I have a 28" HD display & all the works connected to it. When I travel I like the mobility aspect.
The question is the mobility. Do you need it or not?

I personally have the MXL 990 and am MORE than happy with it. If you haven't already, look on musicians friend, they have fantastic prices, and quick shipping. I bought mine to record a podcast with a friend of mine, however we both got entirely too busy with finals, and then he moved out of town, so that project was unfortunately abandoned after only a few episodes. The MXL mic's are great for radio shows/podcasting. They replicate sound amazingly well, especially for the price. and being a condenser mic, they have a little bit of a richer sound to them. HIGHLY recommend the MXL.

iWeb makes 70% of the objects on your page into images. Makes websites slow to load and incredibly SEO unfriendly. Also, it only makes websites that fully support Safari (webkit).
Very true :-)
I just want to build a photography website with the minimal fuss and maintanance.

There is currently only one PCI video card still available new: the ATI Radeon 9200 (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100436011/). It has 128MB VRAM, dual display support and is also the fastest card you can get for a B&W.

I had a friend use my SB800 on his Canon, I don't think all of the features worked, but in manual mode it worked fine.

If you don't need the best graphics, then buying a new GPU should be enough. ATI 5770 is only 250$ so if it can make your system last a year or two longer, it should be worth it.

Im running a mac mini late 2009 2.26 ghz 4gb ram, and my istat pro is reading 3.9 million page ins since i restarted this morning. I use my mac for web surfing, music, 1080p video/netflix, gaming (WoW).
Is this normal? Will this hinder performance?
Thanks!

First post in the forum, long time reader.
Own a MacBook (late 2008) unibody and have had two things happen. The computer is lagging/getting slower and the battery is losing its health. About right for 25 months old. Anyway, found the Intel 320 series X25 160GB SSD online at a decent price and bought it. Used my time machine backup and installed the SSD in my laptop this morning. Took about 2 hours to do with around 120GB files total.
So far, it is at 120GB of its 160GB available and I may decide to lose some more files - we'll see. My original hard drive was 250MB but I partitioned it and used quite a bit for bootcamp. Anyway, 2 wonderful things have happened.
For the first time in 2 years, the battery indicator is showing 4hrs remaining - the SDD must truly draw less power and this thing is wickedly fast. The machine boots up in 25 seconds and any application I start - loads in less than 2-3 seconds. For example, MS Word 2011 - you see the little banner and bang the whole thing is on and loaded. Lovin it. Just added another year worth of life to this computer - very snappy. (did notice the S-ATA speed is 3GB and not 1.5GB as was the OEM hard drive)
My question for the forum - (taken from system profiler)
Why is capacity marked 209GB and my drive is only able to access 159GB? What is the extra for? Am I missing something? First time with SSD.
Thanks

I got that when testing a cheap cordless mouse the other day. Our PC in the office wasn't picking up a signal when the receiver was plugged in, but our eMac was, (both are merely for testing purposes). Whenever I moved the mouse, the cursor moved. Great. Whenever I left or right clicked, it moved the cursor into the top corner. So I tried it back on the PC again and it started to work, with both buttons fine too.
Odd.

The delete button is the one with the "-" (minus).
i must be looking at the wrong thing because there is no minus sign a plus one and a ton of erase options but no minus disk utility right?

It must be there for a reason, otherwise they wouldn't put it in there. This is Apple, you have to remember.

This is an acknowledged problem. The same sort of thing has happened to me before and it's a pain in the butt. Mine was still under warranty, fortunately.
I suspect that your wife needs a new battery, but I'd take it in to an Apple Store just to make sure.
At best, a new battery will fix things up. At worst, the entire PMU needs to be replaced.
When you get it fixed (if you so choose) be sure to use the iBook off of AC power until the computer goes to sleep because the battery's done at least once a week. It has to do with the way the battery manager resets itself.
Good luck.

onecajun - which name should I use here? The mac mini server shows as 'Mac Mini Server' to the Macs but there is also a NETBIOS name which is something like 'macmini28138'.
fluffles - one of the problems I suspect might be that the PC appears to be tied to a domain used by the previous (windows exchange) server - if I try to change this then it seems to seriously mess up the user accounts on that PC - not allowing me to log in etc.

With all the suggested changes to the iPad most of which are pretty much confirmed (high res screen, better cpu/gpu, dual camera etc) with this ability too it'd definately be something i'd buy.
The iPad is becoming what it should have been from the get go.
