abbaZaba Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 yeah the keys that are sticky are the delete, eject, F12, F11, F10, -, =, , ], [ so I guess I am lucky. is there anyway to clean it? Link to comment
fenixtx22 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 yeah dude, just rub a damp dish cloth over the keys, or if you want to be extra careful wrap the cloth around your finger and clean each key individually, i think the second one is the best option, just don't use any cleaning spray, that should work just fine Link to comment
abbaZaba Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 but the keys on the powerbook keyboard are pretty tight together. how am I supposed to get underneath them? (the top of the keys are fine. the coke got underneath and got the moving parts sticky) Link to comment
Unbeliever Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Please keep this thread on topic. If you need help start a new one. This is a "I got a new Mac" thread not "how do i clean my PB" Link to comment
Mysfestivus Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 I've had this Mac mini for a few months now but never bother about joining the club so I guess it's the time now! 1.42 GHz G4 512MB DDR RAM 80GB HD CD-RW/DVD Combo Drive Bluetooth/Airport Extreme Link to comment
SKYLINE R34 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hi, everyone, In the past I posted in recent threads that I was thinking about getting a PowerMac G5 and I want to ask the owners of these computer's to tell me what there experiences in using a PowerMac for their daily use. If I do decide on getting a PowerMac, I want to know what upgrades are good for the PowerMac's and I want to know what everybody is putting in there computers, so I can get an idea in what I can customize my PowerMac when I order it. And also as you may know by know apple is putting intel's in there computers and the PowerMac are the last one's to be updated with the intel chip in 2007. I want to ask you, if you just recently bought the PowerMac do you regret on buying one even if you knew that the PowerMac with Intel are coming? Do you think Apple will continue to support and make binary software for the PowerPc once the Intel Computers come out or will thay just focus on the Intel Computers when the transition is over. I saved up 5,000 to buy a PowerMac and if I bought one today, I don't want to regret on buying a PowerPc instead of getting a Intel PowerMac. Is there really a big difference between a PowerPc and an Intel, the reason that I ask, I was just watching Steve Jobs recent Keynote address and he stunned everyone when he was using Tiger on a Intel platform, most people couldn't tell the difference, so basically it just run faster right? I'm looking forward on seeing Aqua-soft members PowerMac's and there experiences in using this great computer. And remember this is a friendly environment so please don't post anything that is harmful to other Members, remember we all are here to learn from one other, if your are a experience Mac users, please share your knowledge so for us that are inexperience in using a Mac can learn more about how to use an Apple.

abbaZaba Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 just get your freaking computer already, holy hell Link to comment
fenixtx22 Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 @ Skyline what do you intend to use this computer for.. i.e surfing the web, watching movies, listening to music, photo manipulation, 3d rendering, web design, print design, video rendering, playing games.. give us some info.I just brought an iMac, i brought it now because i know that anything to do with any kind of change in technology usually results in the first wave being buggy, i think this will be the case with intel macs. Its good to note too that apple will always update there computers ,usually, on a yearly basis and you will end up never buying a power mac if you always wait for the new version cause with apple there is always a new version, my suggestion is the same as abbaZaba "just get your freaking computer already, holy hell"and yes of course apple will support there older macs Link to comment

slpasta44 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I finally got a mac. Although its just a mini i got way more than i was expecting. I called up compUSA to see if they were willing to sell off one of their floor models (display models) and the guy said that he could sell me a mini 1.25 80 gig combodrive for $399. Once i decided to make my purchase he went back into the back room to get the box. He realized that the one he was selling was actually the one that retails for $699. He came back and told me what had happened and gave me a brand new mac mini (usually 699) for 399!! Link to comment
nightcrawler1089 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 slpasta44, that's great news! Quite exciting--a $300 discount is nothing to scoff at. I moved your post to the "I Got Mac Hardware" Thread because technically, that's what it is . @All--This doesn't count, but I picked up a set of iHome speakers, for use with the iPod. Functions nicely as an alarm clock! Thanks! -NC Link to comment

Septimus Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 My Core Duo Mini arrived today (1.66, 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD)... really good. Much better than I thought it would be. I have a G4 PowerBook also which I'm keeping until more apps are translated. After that, a MacBook Pro is going to be ordered Link to comment
