Ah Ok thanks....
I suppose I was all excited about the possibility of getting my hands on some cheaper Apple products....
Hehe I am desperate for a MBP but just don't have store price cash. :(

When a paper like the Daily Mail runs a story, most people tend to ignore it.
I agree! The Daily Mail is trash.

Last I heard on the SETI boards they need some folks that know how to program on Macs. The PC guys said they could give out raw code for windows but are not sure what needs to be done for a port. They said to ask NVIDIA, ATI, Apple to volunteer some programing help. They said ATI has not been helpful for doing a GPU port for windows so they are even less likely to help with a OSX port. I don't have a clue where to ask for help at Apple or NVIDIA.
The SETI GPU guys said they don't know about Open CL they are using the older NVIDIA programing language and until the Open CL kit comes out for windows they can't/don't know how to help. Open CL for Windows/Linux is set for sometime in the spring I heard.

I've loved Freeverse and their games from way back. I know nothing about ngmoco, but from the sound of it they're big on pay-per-play games, which is rather horrifying.
What I'm REALLY worried about, though, are their handful of non-game apps--I absolutely LOVE Comic Life, and Sound Studio is sweet for as much as I've used it.
Oh well, at least their existing apps work great now, so they're not going to get any worse regardless of what ngmoco does to the company.

Interesting. Thanks for all the feedback. It'll factor into my decision this Summer.
I think i could easily get a cool $1,000 (or more?) on Craigslist for my Pro even if I sell it in June.

I don't know if this will help you or not since I'm running OS X 10.4.11 with Firefox 3.6.16 and Safari 4.1.3, but anyway, in Safari it goes back to the previous place on the Google results page, on Firefox it goes back to the top of the results page. I don't know if there's a setting that can be changed in Firefox to make it work the other way.
I never use that method, what I do normally is command click (or right click) the link so it opens in a new tab, that way I don't have to go back and forth loading the Google results page.

I have a Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop that I'm very happy with. They mouse and keyboard share the same receiver, so that still leaves one USB slot for you. The batteries last a long time, and the two-button/wheeled mouse seems to be what you're looking for.
I got my complete set before Christmas for $28 after rebate - I think they were moving the set up another version.
Found this on google, so these might still be around ..

Greetings MacRumors. Posting here as a long time reader, but i've only been a member of the forums for a very short time. I've been reading some of the forums, getting an idea just what goes on around here and thought perhaps the regulars to the Apple Collectors section would be interested in this. :)
I started working on this project in August so a while ago now. I'm a regular over on MacTalk Australia, and at the time I arranged with one of the forum members to buy up 2 old Compact Macs from a batch of 20 to 30 machines he was clearing out, one of which worked and one of which didn't, a Macintosh 512Ke. For the most part it was completely dead, it didn't even make it to a successful boot chime. Being an otherwise huge fan of the Macintosh (original) body shape and design, I bought it with the intention of doing some work on it. I had no idea what to expect and admittedly assumed something fairly minor.
When it arrived, it was in pretty good shape externally. Internally it was the opposite. Age had taken its toll on the old Macintosh and left the internal frame looking a little rusty, the lower logic board cover stained with calcium, the floppy disk drive gummed up and the rest of it covered in dust. It quickly became apparent that this would be more of a challenge than i first thought.
Being a bit of a Mac nut that has a background of repairing cars, I chose to begin restoring the old machine.
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1624/photowvp.jpg
So obviously the first challenge was to make this thing actually power on and boot up. When connected to mains and switched on, it would initialize the floppy disk drive over and over again while whistling... so it wasn't supplying the necessary current to start the machine up, or too much, but all I knew was that the power supply was in a self-protection mode due to some form of fault.
So, I bought a new set of capacitors. Unfortunately the total of the capacitors was around $60 AUD... $47 of which was in 4 mains filter capacitors. So I just skipped them and bought the rest. In the end I needed to bite the bullet for the remaining 4 filter caps, so it has all new capacitors all around, but that was still not enough to kick it over. Admittedly this left me somewhat puzzled. I was pretty sure that would have done the trick.
What was still holding it back was the Flyback transformer. Although otherwise healthy and working, the solder joints securing it to the Analog Board were cracked. After desoldering and resoldering it with fresh solder, fixing the electrical connections in the process, the Mac was able to finally power on.

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4949/dcp2364.jpg
I considered that a temporary success, being surprised to get even this far, and reapplied the glue to the new capacitors to prevent them from moving, as they do in the factory.
Even so, I still had a Sad Mac to deal with. There was no error code, just garbage, which didn't make the fault isolation process any simpler. I didn't know what was wrong, only that the logic board was at fault. Many of the usual basic components tested fine, so the culprit had to be a bad IC, which are not only near impossible to diagnose with home tools, but also difficult to find replacements for.
I had no idea where to go from here, so I turned to another member on the MacTalk Australia forums who happened to find another compact Mac, a Macintosh Plus, with analog board issues (cracked joints) and some case yellowing. I at least wanted one working Compact Mac. When it arrived, I noticed the case was indeed a nice shade of yellow on the front bezel and the analog board had a nasty habit of tripping the safety switches in my house.
However the logic board from the Plus did work in the 512Ke and did in fact tell me that the analog board restoration had gone well, so I pressed on with some of the basics. This involved cleaning out the 512's floppy disk drive and relubricating the moving parts, removing any rust and corrosion from the internal frame by means of sanding and cleaning away the remaining dirt and debris from the rear "bucket" casing.
Once all that was done, I took a bit of a random shot at resolving the issue with the Macintosh 512Ke logic board. In the process of tinkering at random, I took the ROM LOW chip from the Plus board and fitted it to the 512Ke board, which resulted in a successful boot. Not surprisingly, the ROM was the same down to the checksum, so I left the Plus ROM on the 512Ke board instead of seeking out another set of replacements.
With a successful boot, I was now presented with the flashing question mark prompting me for a system disk. In another stroke of luck, I was able to find a System Disk in my random stash of old disks, which booted the system to the desktop without any issues.

This was a great result, but it exposed another issue that I hadn't quite noticed before. The CRT was displaying a raster that was taller yet narrower than Apple's specifications and it was also somewhat warped on each corner. To correct this, I borrowed the electronics tools from my high school at the time to calibrate the display. These CRTs are extremely sensitive to even a 2 degree turn of the yoke, so even the very slightest movement will be reflected as a significant tilt of the CRT raster. It took literally hours to get the raster displaying perfectly straight with no warping or blurring of the edges. After that was sorted though, brightness, contrast, focus and voltages were otherwise extremely easy to adjust in comparison.
This pretty well bought the project to completion. Not one component inside the system hadn't been worked on at some stage and all of them seemed to be working within spec, so I was satisfied with the result.
I had some other bits and pieces collected over the years that I was finally able to use now that I had the computer to use them with.
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2509/dcp2449.jpg
For the most part the computer has stayed in that condition and configuration since then. It doesn't get much use, but it makes for an interesting discussion piece and every now and then it's great to fire up MacWrite, MacPaint or Apple's bundled Maze game (titled "Amazing") and just mess around with it for a while. It has a certain charm of its own, in its design, its simplicity and it's overall retro appeal.
Anyway, that's the story of the 512Ke Restoration Project. It took just a little over a month of on and off work to complete it, and about $80 Australian to build it up with fresh components.
I'm sure some of the vintage Mac collectors around here will be interested in it, and also interested to know it's not the only machine i've done such work to. I also have an Apple II Plus in the next room that's had similar treatment (mainly cosmetic) and an iMac G3 that's undergone extensive work similar to this. For me, it's the challenge that keeps me coming back, but the end result is equally as rewarding.
Cheers :cool:

I spoke to one of my dealers today and they offered me two demo 20" ACDs for c250$ less than the 23".
I do hobby video and photos with no chance of going pro.
The only reason not to go for the dual-monitor approach is desk space. If this is not an issue, two 20" monitors is better.
(1) Screen space - dual monitors gets you >3.5 megapixels, one 23-inch 2.28MP. That's more than 50% additional space.
(2) Division of work. You can put your workspace on one side, and your pallettes, menus, etc on the other. One 20-inch screen is alot of space to edit a photo, especially when you don't have any menus, dock, etc cluttering the screen, like you would with a single 23-inch.
(3) Your DVD-video won't fill the 23-inch screen, at least not at native resolution, unless it's HD. It will play just fine on the 20" screen.
And for less money? It's a no-brainer, in my opinion. Unless desktop space is a premium.

I don't mean to sound like an unsympathetic Mac-bigot, but recent switchers are probably the most likely to crash their Macs. If you're thinking "this is how it works in Windows" you may get yourself in some trouble--you just overthink things. I still do this sometimes when I get into unfamiliar territory. Things get a lot easier after you start thinking Mac and letting some of those Windows habits go.
Trackpad--I sympathize. I learned to accept the trackpad but I still don't like it. I always liked the nipple thing on the Thinkpads I used to use. Anyway, I think there must be an official Apple policy on never making a 2 button mouse. The OS supports them but it just seems like one of those things Apple will never do. Who knows why. When I first got the Mac I kept my 2 button mouse with scroll wheel but I ended up going back to the Apple mouse. I always have a hand free to hit ctrl or command. Just a personal preference. In Medal of Honor I go back to the 2 button for the alternate weapon--time is a factor.
I'm glad you're happy overall though. It sounds like you'll get some good use out of your iBook.

If you have an external drive I recommend time machine. You can back up your entire system and then restore after your clean installation. That includes apps and files.
You could also use something like Carbon Copy Cloner to make a full image of your disk.
Failing that all you can do is back up your files to another location or disk and re-install your applications after the clean install.
