Delusional! *runs away crying* Do you not have a cd burner or zip drive? If so... why didn't you back your stuff up! I have a few of the chats I think.

Sherack Nhar Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 I don't have either of those. First of all, I am going to get a new hard drive tomorrow so I can use my gaming box again. After all I still want to play a little session of Neverwinter Nights and Jedi Outcast once in a while. Then, I'm considering getting a laptop for everyday use. The iBook sure is tempting... I'm going to do a bit of research on that gem, cause the wireless internet access sounds very interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Gateway is coming out with an amazing portable very soon. It' may already be out. Might want to look into that one if you don't fall to the Mac side. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 I'm looking at laptop offerings from Apple and Dell right now. I'm gonna check that Gateway one right away. ... Stupid phone connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 Okay the Gateway offerings look dated and not very good. Where did you get this info, Rhett? The Dell one looks cool, but it would cost 3000$ CAD to get one that fits my needs, WITHOUT wireless connection! The iBook is a lot less expensive, at $1667 USD including wireless internet access and a DVD/CD-RW combo( which the Dell had not). However, my only gripe with this option is that the video output connector on the back is designed for Apple monitors only - I would not be able to plug in my 19'' Samsung monitor! Unless there is a workaround to this issue... can somebody with more knowledge in Apple-lore then me can help me out here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 I'll keep that in mind when making my decision, Nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well it looks like wireless internet access is not an option for me anyway, since no ISP offers that service in my area. On the FAQ at Apple's website it says that you can plug any VGA monitor on a mac, but I can't see how that is physically possible when looking at the iBook's rear ports... Maybe I should email them?

Tie Guy Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Gateways are evil...I won't ever trust them again. What, i have a gateway and i've never had any problems with it (other than it is way outdated now). I've had almost every other kind of problem imaginable though. I've had ISP problems, NIC card problems, driver problems, IDE problems, HD problems, virus problems, CD-RW problems. But my gateay has never let me down, just everything else i put one it.

Surfnshannon Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 gateways are made outta crappy parts. never invest in one. there is a reason why they are so cheap. dude get a dell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Well, I don't really know what to say. I got a Dell laptop that I gotta share with my Dad. It's got like twice the memory of the one I'm using now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treacherous Mercenary Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Gateways are evil...I won't ever trust them again. Now that is so true RN! Even I have a Gateway that died about four weeks ago on me because I accidently kicked the surge protector . It was only four years old, so I know from the past that they sucked anyway! Cheap CD Drive to replace the one it originally had..... Anyhow, I will now be biulding instead of getting a new computer! Sherack Nhar, I feel your pain . I can;t even play JKII anymore among other things of which I don't remember now) until I get money to repair my computer. Gl finding a laptop for your needs SN ! May the force be with you .

Clefo Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I had for the longest time a computer from a local company called "Alien Technologies" (Or something like that). It NEVER EVER died on me... However it did suck ass in terms of hardware and so I eventually had to get my new 1337 Dell.. I did have that old thing for FIVE YEARS though...

Rogue Nine Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Normally, I'd prefer to construct my own computer. But if I had to choose a company to purchase one from, the only ones I'd even consider would be Dell and Compaq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 I've been using the same DELL for 2 and a half years, and it works like clockwork....(sorta) It's fulla cra p, but it can still run some of the latest games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and call me an AMD Fanboy while your at it fo all I care . I heard they were faster than and cheaper than Intel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Me and my brother both have Dell computers and are very pleased with them. Also they are cheap at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
