That's not the worst of it, my parents bought a small TV and it's not _stickers_, the damn logos are actually EMBOSSED and can't be removed...

Nobody here can answer your question.
That can be a dangerous game to play, selling your perfectly usable computer now (you didn't tell us you had any complaints) in anticipation of a product that doesn't exist, and may or may not come to exist. You'll never be able to stay ahead of the game.

There was some 2011 13 inch models in the refurb section at the end of last week. They didn't stay there very long. I have not seen any 15 or 17 inch models personally. It might be a month or two before we see any of those models. Check the store several times a day if you can.

Hello,
Just got my MBA 11.6 with 4 gb ram. This is my first mac. For some reason, Microsoft word is unbearably slow on this machine, especially when I tried to process pictures. Does anybody else have the same problem? Is there a fix? Thanks.

Thanks for the tips so far. After reading that the Performa 6290cd was one of the worst Macs ever made, I immediately bought one !! Not here yet, but if operational, I'll use it to test the software. If successful, I'll know that powerpc models aren't out of the question and maybe grab a few old, inexpensive Macs to toy with this project.
Other than a couple of Minis I have around here from the past couple of years, this is also gonna be good for filling in my knowledge of Macs from the mid years.
Being mostly from the Windows world, tearing this thing apart will be fun.
I found a guy selling internal scsi burners for Macs. From Apple docs, it appears I can lift the case and replace the internal cd-rom drive with one of these burners. Any tips on those- brands etc that may work with the old Macs?
Also, am I right that I should be looking for Toast 4 to possibly burn backups to cd if the burner works ? Old versions of Toast seem very hard to find.
This 6290cd is loaded with about every card option Apple had at the time and I know this thing was aimed at the Sears crowd etc. This one even appears to have the dedicated vga option as well as the standard Apple display type connector. Owner says os 9 is on it but the restore cd will be 7.6 or 7.5. Think I'll start with an immediate restore to that. Any opinions on how this model handles os 8? By the way, it has a gigantic 48mb of ram (ha ha)
Will also explore networking once I add an ethernet card to the comm or ld port, but those projects are for another time.
This is a cool place !

for those who are unaware of keynote bingo, there is a report at the unofficial apple weblog on how to play. it pretty much puts all the rumors possible, and places one rumor on each square and you play bingo with it. here's the link for more: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/01/08/siracusa-takes-keynote-bingo-to-the-next-level/
i'm playing with one card, and two of my squares have .mac relations to them. this is going to be another fun way to watch the keynote.

Is it just me or is everyone starting to put links to their avatar submisions?
BTW I like it!Nope, not everyone.
Or I'd be linking to this one (http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14342) that I still need to shrink down again after everyone kept asking me for larger pictures.

They need an app that is native on the iPad. I hate that x2 garbage and usually end up deleting them.

I could see maybe earlier on with the iPhone being the deception, since you're probably more likely to see more users who are new to computers and/or never used iTunes (until they got their phone) and not knowing how Apple updates work on Windows, but I don't see too many iPad users falling for it.

Like this:
Apple: When did you purchase it?
Me: About a month ago, probably less than that...
What if they ask for like, information ;) I am paranoid about these things ;P

Honestly, given the current prices of the entry-level Macbook Pro.. the need for a Macbook is not necessary.. Just look at how powerful the entry-level Macbook Pro is and its only like 150.00 more than the MacBook.. Not worth it, I think Apple should dump the Macbook and just use Macbook pros.

You need to be jailbroken to install this. The easiest way would be to install in through iTunes by dragging the .ipa (second download link) into your Apps section and then syncing through iTunes, but you'll need AppSync to do this which requires JB. :mad:
That's what I was afraid of!:(
Dammit we need an ipad 2 jailbreak already!

Hi fellows!
I've been trying to figure out a way to make my bedroom comfortable, with good 'virtual space' and that looks cool.
I am 24 and I spend my whole day in my bedroom studying. Yeah, I study A LOT.
But I am not happy with its actual setup. The wardrobe, the bed, the table, the white board, I dont know... it seems that my bedroom is a mess or its too small even being relativily big.
Can you guys help me with this?
How?
Well, just tell me where to put ANY of the things of my bedroom.
One thing I just cant to: I cant spend more than 100 dollars - in case anyone suggest to buy anything.
Also, I cant buy a new table, wardrobe or bed.
Its kind a defy...
I wish I could have some more money but I am not working at this momment.
Here is a video showing my full bedroom.

I once spoke to a chap I know who was in huge debt and asked how he slept a night. He said if you owe a Bank �100 you're screwed, they won't try to help you, but if you owe them �100,000 they're screwed and will bend over backward to help.Been there. I was never treated so well as when I owed �1.5 million.

check out the rating on the apple store. almost every persons has died....not reliable at all
Hmmm--you must mean Time Capsule--not really possible for Time Machine to die since it is not a hardware item. Regardless, I just wanted to add that Time Machine verifies the integrity of the backup every time it does a backup which is why sometimes you will run into the situation where it will be seemingly doing nothing for a long time--will seem to be stuck on "preparing"--for sometimes hours--it has most likely encountered a problem and has lost its way so it is rebuilding its database--just leave it alone and it will fix iteself. I personally love Time Machine--but I also use Super Duper for my hard drive as well--just in case.

Well, in my experience, dual-layer burning can be fickle business, with a higher fail rate than CD and single-layer burning, so I wouldn't say right off the bat that it's a broken drive.
I had a similar issue a while back, and found that using a different brand of media fixed the issue right away, so I'd suggest you try the same. Incidentally, Verbatim was the brand I actually got to work, whereas Memorex and [brand which I forget] failed repeatedly. Unfortunately, given the relative cost of these sorts of disks, experimentation isn't too cheap.
