DJ, I didn't say you were snobby or elitist, only that your initial response came across that way. I've been hanging around these forums long enough to know that you are not that way, I simply felt...

I have to agree with G0Ducks on this one. The remark by DJ, though maybe not intended as such, really did come across as snooty and elitist. He asked a simple question and you could have simply...

yeah...you're right! I knew video card wasn't the right term but there was a 10-car pile-up somewhere in my brain earlier and couldn't think of the right one. Still though, 128 at least.

Yeah, a 256mb graphics card will only add heat issues to the powerbook. Definitely can see a 128mb though. The thing is, 128mb should have been the standard for powerbooks for at least the last...

Yes, but those are not true menu extras I believe. They rely on a hack to emulate a real menu extra. For whatever reason, just like the GUI, Apple locked down menu extras. Perhaps the only thing I...
