Mine is a new G4...yea! Just got it! It's souped up, so it's pretty good too! Plus, there's the 1GB ram to boot. It could replace my desktop, 'cept for the lack of hdd.
But that is circumvented by the fact that I store my stuff on cds, dvds and on my desktop, so...I bring the stuff I need.
But I'm still having problems sharing files bet computers in my own network

More RAM is better than less RAM, so 1GB is good.
Did you lookup the Help files in ya Mac with regards to hooking up your own PC and the Mac? Anyway, here's a article from there which I tght may be of help to u.
=====
Setting up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users
You can set up a Windows computer to share files with other users on your network, including Mac users.
To let users connect to a Windows computer from a Mac computer, you need to share a folder on the Windows computer.- 1.If you have never set up the Windows computer for sharing, open My Network Places and follow the onscreen instructions to set up a home or small office network.
2.To share a folder, right click the folderÂ’s icon and choose Properties. Click the Share tab and follow the onscreen instructions.
You may need to disable the Internet Connection Firewall in the Advanced pane of the device's properties.
You may need to restart the Windows computer after setting it up.
To connect to the Windows computer, users need the network address for the computer, the workgroup name, and the user name and password for the shared folder:
To see the computerÂ’s workgroup name and computer name, open the System control panel, then click the Computer Name tab.
To see the names of user accounts available on the computer, open the User and Groups control panel.
To see the IP address and DNS name of a Windows XP computer, look in the Details pane of the Explorer. You may need to open the Network Connection control panel and select the connection youÂ’re using. The information appears in the Explorer Bar.

Hmmm...I got software firewall working....I think I might try it....
Thanks for the tip -

Any good laptop sleeves and accessories to recommend?
Personally, I'm looking at the cushions for the wrists (for my ibook), the port covers and the keyboard cover.
What u think? -
i think i need more projects to cover the cost of my powerbook

If you like to choose a colour or design that fits your style/mood/watever, you can't go wrong with foofbag. If you find the prices on the higher side, go for locally-made fabriX cases which are cheaper but very limited designs.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Any good laptop sleeves and accessories to recommend?

What accessories are you looking at? Can always refer to Singapore Apple's Online store (Look at "Mac Accessories" on the left-hand navigation bar) and see what's stuffs for ya iBook.
The wrist cushions are essential if you work on ya projs/assignments/net for long hours. Port covers? If you take ya laptop out often, yes.. maybe it's a decent buy. Keyboard cover... it's more like a skin to the keyboard.. so as to prevent accidental spills and dust.
