It doesn't happen anymore. If you drag an external drive or CD, the trash can changes to an eject symbol.

I'll bet the MM/AKB48 guys know all about this.

For anyone interested:
1. The next version of OSX, Leopard, is scheduled for release on Oct 26
2. Supposedly, you'll be able to develop applications for the iPhone/iPod Touch starting early next year.

good idea.. wider market base is always wise.

So I finally took my laptop because of the 28 verticle lines down my monitor, and they said it would take $900 to fix. :doh:

It might be worth while to just get a new computer, so now I'm looking at some desktop macs...

what model do you have, i may have a spare screen...

Wyn-chan, is that a G4 17" Powerbook? I was reading in a mag about a guy who had a similar issue over here, and had found about 120 other people with the same problem. He tried to get Apple to fix it, which they refused to do... but eventually they did, under warranty. I'd suggest hassling the local guys, even if you have to do what this guy did and contact a computer mag for help.

Yikes! Yea, I called the apple store a long time ago and they seemed reluctant to fix it. :sweat:

Oh.. i have a 15", but they say that size doesn't matter right...? RIGHT???



if you google it, im sure you can figure out whats wrong.. the PBs are easy to repair, it's figuring out the part that's bad that's the hard part. If it's just the screen, they're like $200-$300 on ebay and pretty easy to replace.

Apparently there was a bad batch of them came out of the Shanghai W8 factory March/April 2005. If you tell them you know about this you might have some luck :fingerscrossed:

The LCD is, hence why a new part is needed. :shamefulcry:
