Resurrection

My iBook’s battery has started to work again today. I’m not exactly sure what brought the battery back to alive, but probably a complete discharge of the battery did it. It’s getting old and the processor speed is relatively slow (G3 800MHz), but I can write code and dissertation as well as browsing websites and reading email. The three years old battery still lasts in more than three hours. I’m quite satisfied with it.

iBook Battery

Suddenly my iBook’s battery died. The battery indicator on the menubar shows that there is no battery installed. I’ve used it for more than three years, so I may just have to admit that the battery lasted very long. Nonetheless, it’s very inconvenient to connect my iBook to the power adapter anyway.

Tiger

I was bit suspicious that Tiger might not be worth upgrading, but after reviewing new apps like Dictionary and Grapher as well as the famous Spotlight and Dashboard widgets, I changed my mind. I went to the UNM bookstore to buy Tiger today, but the price is $89, not $69 which I can get from the Apple store online with student discount. So I ordered Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) today at the apple store online. Hopefully I’ll get it soon.

10.3.6

Since I installed the 10.3.6 update on my iBook, I’ve been feeling the slowness of the graphics. I’ve noticed several users reported the same issue, and they claim that machines with ATI GPUs have this issue. Mine uses Mobile Radeon 7500. Up until 10.3.6 the graphics driver have been really stable on my Mac, but now I hate it. Is it Apple’s fault, or ATI’s fault?
