You will be fine with the D90 for many years. I personally wouldn't think of a camera/lens as an "investment" as it will not increase in price like a nice painting.

My personal choice in kit lenses would be 18-70mm and 70-300mm.

My MacBookPro 2,4 Ghz 15' Santa Rosa doesn't start. Every time I try to start the computer it just says that I need to restart and it goes on and on with the same message.
The monitor has stripes of red/purple over a purple blueish background. And all this happens 2,5 years after buying it. I would like to know if this repair program will be extended to Portugal, when the claim will be won after December 2010.
I do hope so and Apple must be aware of the quality of the parts she is buying for their computers.
It's the second time I have this problem in 4 years with 2 different computers, although the first time the motherboard was replaced within the warranty time.


I can't answer the question on the breadth of this decision. However, I am not going criticize Apple in this instance because they were far from alone. It is very possible that the versions Apple got for testing were just fine.

Overheating of the GPUs caused the problem, and if you weren't stressing the GPU, you might not run into this problem immediately. BIOS updates and Firmware updates went out to downclock the GPUs, but for some it was too late. I supported an office where practically every Dell laptop had to have its motherboard replaced because of the defective GPU. It got to the point where I would call Dell support, and they wouldn't question me at all.

nVidia also couldn't (wouldn't?) identify the specific bad chips, unlike the "exploding" battery issue of a few years ago when that manufacturer KNEW which batch was bad. How could Apple, or any of the other manufacturers, know which machines with these chips were affected? I have an MBP from this time range, and I haven't had any problems, thank goodness. Others have not been so fortunate.

You can criticize Apple for a lot of design decisions, but this issue is firmly nVidia's.

Australia and the US are still up. :(

Meh, they're usually the last to go.

personally, I would get the classic, since I already have an older nano, both are great iPods though, so you would be happy with either. Base your decision on how important having all of your music with you is, if you can get by with less storage, the Nano will be great, if you need all of your music with you you have no choice but the classic.

though my production is down as of late, i'm still the #6 folder on team 3446.

Folding? Who does that? Seriously.. :rolleyes:


:eek: :cool: :D ;) :p

I have a 2011 MBP 17" and I order the kit from MaxUpgrades.

The kit including optibay, enclosure for superdrive and a Vertex3 120GB and two day shipping was $370 IRC. They even managed to ship the same day I ordered. So it was definitely a plus. Considering you have a maybe pick a SATAII based SSD unless you plan to upgrade some time down the road so you could recycle the SATAIII SSD.

The only downside is that it doesn't come with any instruction. But then again, it's not very different to others. Just be careful and you shouldn't have any problem.

The optibay is very well made, feels solid when holding. I didn't have any fitting issue although some other users have reported some slight problems. I think it's because they are pretty tight fit, so don't tighten then screw all the way until you have all 3 on.
I ordered the Maxupgrades kit also. Seemed like a bargain compared to OWC's. I've been rally happy with the dealings I've had with them. I have no idea why there's a love affair with OWC. Opened or unopened, their 15% restocking fee is a sham.

Hello.

Software Update got me a 26MB update correctly labeled Canon Printer Update 2.3 for my ip4500.

Apparently the size of the download varies.

Have Fun,

^ Done. We've arranged to have it removed.

yeah but thats pretty high

:confused: :confused: :confused:
I really, really, really love my lamp, the old G4, but started university this month and realized fairly quickly that something portable would come in handy.

Now the question is, what to get. I'm considering a few options:

Get additional iBook 14" (But isn't that too small and slow?)
Get additional PB 15" (But that'll be bloody expensive )
Sell old faithfull G4, buy PB 15" + 20 " display for home use (anyone happy with that solution???)

Also I was wondering, If I get a new machine running Tiger, and keep the old running Panther, won't it be annoying to work with two different OS'es?
(can't use Tiger disc for portable to install Tiger on iMac G4, can I?)

Any advice appreciated

Well what will you use it for, what apps will you run? The ibook is not slow, the only time it will be slow is for running some pro apps such as FCP. Also you might want to consider the 12" ibook since the 14 and 12 inch have the same resolution.

2GB ram on the MBA is rubbish!

Agree 100%.

Love this, it is called NoLock screen though, no lock is different

Well, no, but it's a pretty tight fit in there so it seems feasible.

Oh, and do you have an AirPort base station? I'm assuming you cannot connect to any wireless networks, right?

That's correct - I can't connect to any wireless networks. I've tried to connect to my neighbours, but I don't get any reception - it won't respond, regardless how close I am to the base station.

there is a place here in Portland called Everyday Music, and I have found some amazing deals for like $1. I picked up U2s' Joshua Tree for $2 and "The Sundays - Blind" for $1!! Now I am just looking for Trembling Blue Stars for a smokin deal!

Hello:

I am planning on selling my 17'' MBP to one of my good friends as I'd like to switch to a MacBook Air since it will better suit my needs. I was wondering if anybody has an idea of what a fair price would be.

Here are the general specs:

Purchased: Spring 2007
Monitor: 17''
Processor: 2.33 GHz Inter Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Snow Leopard OS

Any feedback is appreciated, thanks

That's really expensive for a banner.

Definitely Amazon. I haven't been let down yet.

Flying in from Denmark, Europe to spend a week at MacWorld:cool:

See you on the 14th somewhere....

I wasn't worried just wondering if anyone else here bought anything from you. Sorry if it seemed like I was trying to call you out.

Now if Apple could offer a 30" OLED display for $1000, would you go for it?
