Best Prices Apple Modem

I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

I had been using the Kyocera wireless router but with the recent changes to the Verizon 3G/4G network it started to become erratic and the connection to the local tower would fail man times each hour. I had tried a 4G modem but it made the situation worse as the tower would bounce back and forth between 3G and 4G and connections would be dropped every time this happened.The MBR1000 so far seems immune to the tower transmission problems with the 3G modem I am using. A few hickups that are easily fixed by removing the modem and reinserting it in the USB port to effect a hard boot or reset.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)If your HDTV is in a location that is not well suited to HDMI cable connections from your cable box or DVD players, the Belkin ScreenCast AV4 may be a satisfactory wireless solution. Although the product delivers wireless audio and video of excellent quality, it has some limitations and is not well suited for all situations. Read on for details.PROs-----------+ Wireless video/audio quality appears to be equal to direct-HDMI connected video+ 40 foot video feed through my walls worked flawlessly+ No interference (that I could detect) with my wireless network+ Basic setup surprisingly easyCONs------------ Flaky behavior of remote control- Slow to change display input sourceSETUP-----------The ScreenCast AV4 was fairly simple to attach to my home theater. The package includes two pieces of hardware; one attaches to your television and a power outlet, the other attaches to each of your AV devices and a second power outlet. Once done, I powered on both of the Belkin boxes and within 2 minutes there was video on my TV.Because this was my first time to power on the ScreenCast AV, a setup menu appeared asking me to select my language. After that it said it was preparing to help me setup my inputs with usable labels (i.e. "Satellite", "Blu-Ray", etc...). Unfortunately, something went wrong with the ScreenCast AV at this point and that menu never appeared. The included remote control, used to change inputs…

The Ibook was shipped fast by Midwest. Product was as described. It works great!

The people at Pacificmacs did an excellent job of resolving an issue with the computer after I received it. They stand behind what they sell.I recommend them without reservations.

The best laptop I have had in a long time. Great sound from the speakers and a good internet connection.

I purchased the 1TB version of the Time Capsule. I already owned an Airport Extreme and was replacing it with the Time Capsule. A nice setup feature allowed the Time Capsule to see the Older Airport Extreme and import all of the settings. This made setting up the Time Capsule extremely easy - by using the same settings, all of my Macs worked with Time Capsule right away.Unfortunately, after 4 weeks, my Macs all reported that they could not see the Time Capsule Hard drive. When I looked closely at the Time Capsule - it was making a loud/repetitive clicking noise - hard drive failure. I have 5 macs running in my home. None of them have ever had a hard drive failure - but you never know (which is why I bought the Time Capsule). It's disconcerting to have the very device - that I purchased to ensure my data was backed up - fail.I took it to the Apple store and the exchanged it - no questions asked. But - it took me a long time to back up all of my Macs (the first backup using Time Machine/Time Capsule takes a very long time for each Mac). Additionally, unlike my initial setup, I could not simply copy the settings from my existing Time Capsule - I had to set it all up from scratch. Also - the Time Capsule that I retuned to the Apple store had all of my personal information on it. Even though it was a failed hard drive - I'm not happy that all of my financial data, keychains, etc were on that hard drive.

I bought this machine for a SW project I was working on where I needed to demonstrate the same code running on a little endian and a big endian Unix platform. I was looking for the cheapest PowerPC mac I could find. This circa 1999 machine only cost me about $100 and I certainly got that much out of it. I downloaded XCODE for Tiger from the Apple site and had my program debugged and running in about a week.Now what?The CPU is too slow to support the OS-X Leopard upgrade disks I had planned on installing, so its stuck forever on Tiger (10.4).The motherboard doesn't support more than 512M on a single SIMM, so it won't take the 1G PC100 SIMM I had laying around.I thought about using it as a disk server, but it only takes two PATA drives, and ignores any tracks beyond 128 G.It has a PCI bus, but won't recognize any SATA (or PATA) drive board I plug in.I did get it to accept a second ethernet card, and I thought about using it as a network firewall.A few quick tests showed the network throughput to be pretty pitiful.I suppose I could use it to run Quicken 2007.Note: Vender was great. They were very clear about the model and threw in a free keyboard. Machine still does everything this model was supposed to do when it was new and it feels like it could run another 5 or 10 years. Anyone looking to get serious work done on a Mac would be advised to look a bit further up the food chain than I did.

This product is basically three products: an airport extreme wireless router, a networked drive, and finally, with Leopard, a networked backup system. Overall, it's a very good product, but there are some serious limitation one should be aware of.As a router, it is fantastic. Typical Apple ease of use, with all configuration done by a very intuitive GUI application.Unfortunately, it's not a great network drive. The drive appears to be internally connected using a very slow USB connection. You will find that even with a computer connected via Gb/s ethernet, transfer speeds will be limited to around 5-6 MB/s, tops. If you connect two Macs via fast ethernet, you can often get over 40 MB/s transfer speeds, so this is a rather large disappointment, especially for a device which will be getting a lot of use if you use Time Machine.Time Machine is great in theory, and can act as a form of automatic version control, but it has a few issues. First, it is a file-based differential backup. That means, for example, that if even a single bit of a 1 GB file is changed, the ENTIRE file gets backed up. Not only does this take a lot of time, it quickly depletes your backup drive because the same data is added to the disk repeatedly. To get around this, you have to explicitly exclude backing up large files that are often changed. Good candidates for exclusion are Mail and iDisk caches, as well as virtual machine disk images.There have also been numerous reports of Time Machine backups being susceptible…

The Mac mini is a beautiful and very useful computer. I love all the applications it comes with. Contrary to it's processor speed, it's fairly speedy too. OSX is a very easy to use system. I've been using Windows for close probably 13 years, and I feel right at home with OSX after a month of use. If you're thinking about switching, this is definitely the best way to wade in the waters of virus- and spyware- free OSX without getting committed with a thousands of dollars investment. My only complaint is it is a little scant on USB ports. 2 isn't really enough. You can buy an inexpensive USB hub anywhere, or get one of those nice hubs that stack underneath the mini and look excellent.Overall, I don't regret switching one bit!

I considered Time Capsule a couple years ago when I needed a new router to replace an Airport Extreme zapped by lightning. I just didn't want to spend the extra money, and so I got a new AEBS. When looking for a new backup strategy last month, I read the reviews here and decided to get the Time Capsule for the wireless capability. I had tried to use Time Machine with a 2T My Book drive networked via the AEBS. It didn't work. Now I'm backing up my husband's MacBook Pro, my iMac and my external video drive all via WIFI in the background. If you love the ease of use of Time Machine, it's even better using Time Capsule. Setup took 5 minutes and my settings were automatically transferred to the TC. Now my AEBS is working as an extender on the network in a hard to reach part of the house and I will have a backup router if lightning strikes again.

Not a monster of a machine by any means, but for light web surfing and DVD viewing, it does the trick. Also, with iLife '06 (which I purchased separately), I can record music and do a little video editing. All for a very reasonable price.

The service I recieved was grade A! The repesentatives were nice and to the point. All notification emails reflected no delay and did not include any attidue. It was a pleasure to do business.

My wife and I wanted to keep an eye on the nanny with our baby from work. After researching the network cameras for several months, it seemed that only Panasonic cameras consistently received positive (usually glowing reviews) whereas cameras from other major brands like Linksys, D-Link, etc received mediocre or poor reviews. So I went with Panasonic. And after about a month, I have to say I am very impressed with it. Some background: I have a classic Linksys WRT54G 802.11g router, with 2 WinXP PCs connected to it via ethernet and 3 more PCs connected wirelessly; plus, I have AT&T/SBC DSL service via a Speedstream 5100 DSL modem. If you're moderately computer literate, you should have no problem following the included instructions to setup (view and control) the camera in wired mode or in wireless WiFi mode.But if you want to setup the camera to be viewed (and controlled) from the internet, you need to do a bit more work. And this is where Panasonic's excellent, excellent customer support comes in. Panasonic's support line is 8_0_0-2_7_2-7_0_3_3; they are open Mon-Fri 9AM-9PM and Sat/Sun 10AM-7PM Eastern US Time; this tech support is available to you for the LIFE of the product. They will walk you through how to setup the camera, configure your router (for, among other things, port forwarding), and register with Panasonic's FREE Dynamic DNS web service. This last point is important: Panasonic network cameras include FREE Dynamic DNS hosting service for the life of the product;…
