Re: A Laptop...

To be fair it's turned into a mac tip thread rather than the search for a laptop, so hijack away

I think you'd have to 'source' the boot camp beta installer (which works on 10.4), and then set the system data to before the installation data. Boot camp beta was a free download until about half a year ago. I'm still running it on 10.4.

DO NOT touch DELL

I had the misfortune to work on one this afternoon it took over two hours to copy 1.3 GBs from the DVD to HD.

Sounds like the drive was in PIO mode.

Re: A Laptop...

With a bit of meddling I was able to get the networking to work.

I'm wanting a DVD player that will allow me to take screenshots, but I am finding VLC inadequate because I can't move forwards frame by frame. I'm shocked to see that neither PowerDVD (I'm a big fan of the Windows version) nor WinDVD (perhaps the latter should come as no surprise) don't do Mac versions.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
