Gordy,

It's in the iTunes preferences iirc, a setting that says something about where they are stored etc and whether to allow iTunes to "manage" the library etc.

[bsodmike]

I always disable that option as it will destroy any organization you have on your music already, it is nasty!

Nice pbook Gordy, still amazed I sold mine heh. A sleeve is very useful as it protects your lappy on the move as well.

[Gordy]

Cant see that option Looked in the preferences but it didnt show up.

Just realised iTunes copies everything when importing grrrr

/goes to turn that off!

sorry to bump this back to the top again, but looking to get one of these pb's...

having read other forums about the 12" pb alot of people were complaining about the heat generated from them under load, especially to the left area of the wristpad. all i can find on this is for older revisions, and as i'll be getting a brand spanking new one, and im also guessing that Gordy has a rev D model, I'd like to know how the temps are. Uncomfortable at all Gordy?

It is certainly warm, wouln't want to play games whilst it was sat on my lap, for example. Under normal loads its fine.

I have mine sat on my lap and don't really notice the heat to much. If you feel the base it is warm to the touch but not painful.

You can get things like this if its an issue for you

Most laptops nowadays are hot the apple is no different really

PS: If you are thinking of getting a pb wait for two weeks as there is WWDC on and there may be a update to the powerbook so it would be worth waiting

[menthel]

You should try playing WOW on it, gets very toasty and eats the battery for brekkie!

[Doug]

Off topic, but, Gordy, where did you get your desks? They look to be just what I'm after

[Gordy]

Its a pair of ikea desks You buy the table top and pick some legs to match. Was quite cheap. Don't know if they still do them tho.

[zhou]

ta for the info, it was either going to be a pb or the ibm x40, but looking at the pics you took sways it for me

[Gordy]

You won't regret it

[menthel]

Yay! Another convert!
