As much as I love the PB, the main reason I chose it in the first place was that I thought I'd be taking it everywhere with me - in the end, I think it only left my study once! So it might as well...

How do I "format" my PB please? 1,038 Views / 10 Replies  
Hi all

My beloved 17" PB is about to go on Ebay, so I wonder if someone could tell me how to delete all my info etc. and return it to a completely empty state?

Many thanks.

Thanks for all the replies.

I chose a 20" Rev. B over one of the new iSight models, and got £250 knocked off the price.

What can I say? I absolutely LOVE the new machine! It blows the PB away...

Funny you should mention that.... :)

I went along today fully prepared to buy an iSight iMac, but came away with a last gen 20" for £250 less. The saved money's going on extra RAM, Bluetooth...

See my reply above.

But my point remains; people seem to be claiming that given the choice, they'd actually prefer one of the older models to the new iSight iMac. And I find that odd.

Swapping PB for iMac - your thoughts pls? 932 Views / 6 Replies  
Hi all

I love my 17" Powerbook but I never use it outside my study at home - so it may as well be a desktop. Thinking of Ebaying it and buying a new 20" iMac.

Can anyone give me a good...

Some good points well made.

I have no problem acknowledging my PowerBook was bought mainly on the strength of its appearance and perceived x-factor. I knew nothing of MacOS, and it's only now,...

Got my PB17 a year ago; it was my first Mac. I'm about to buy a 20" iMac to keep it company. I have become an utter Mac bore, and if I could afford it, I'd have a 2.7Ghz Dual as well. I've never felt...

Hi all

I want to replace my aging home-built PC desktop with a Mac. I bought a 17" PowerBook a year ago and there's no going back to Windows now.

I can't afford a Dual Power Mac, but have my...

Savour the anticipation would be my advice to you. Life is so short, it's not good to wish any of it away. I do know how you feel, though; I'd only had my 17" PB a week when it failed and is...

I bought a 17" PB just over a week ago. I was shocked at the extent to which I very quickly became emotionally attached to it; as a Windows switcher, I was blown away by the world of difference....

To cut a long story short, I've been trying to reinstall OS X on my week-old PowerBook after it went very weird on me.
