Apple MacBook Coming in Colors

post from "My Mac Blog" RSS Feed on 12 April 2006 07:01:00 PM. © "My Mac Blog" RSS Feed

55927-1909p068a-1b Appleinsider revives a rumor that Apple may reintroduce colors into the upcoming Intel iBooks (MacBooks).

Apple introduced colors to the Mac platform in the Bondi Blue iMac in 1998. This was followed by a number of different colored iMacs and patterns. Later, Apple settled back on the current glossy-white enclosure of the current iMac and current iBook.

Given the recent success of the black-iPods, Apple is reportedly considering introducing other colors into the upcoming MacBook notebooks.

According to the rumor site, Apple has been especially secretive about the potential colors that they are testing for the upcoming notebook, but there are suggestions that there will be at least two colored MacBook models. Instead of semi-translucent colors, they are reported to be solid-shade colors.

An earlier unverified report had claimed that Apple was going to be introducing light-weight notebooks with a "stylish design" aimed at targeting female customers.

The Mac Support Store Offers a Complete Library
of Apple Service Manuals for Free

post from "My Mac Blog" RSS Feed on 12 April 2006 06:47:00 PM. © "My Mac Blog" RSS Feed

BROOKLYN, April 11 – The Mac Support Store, an Apple Authorized Service Provider Plus has made over 200 Apple service manuals available for download.

This vast library of Apple service manuals contains extensive chapters on troubleshooting, take apart, and schematic views. Remarkably, this library includes every piece of Apple hardware you could imagine. Even obsolete manuals like Newton MessagePads and Personal LaserWriters are there. While more current manuals seem logical, the question is: why would The Mac Support Store make obsolete manuals available?

"Three reasons,” said Jeff Graber, CMO (Chief Macintosh Officer) of The Mac Support Store. “Apple sells technical self-certification. People who make a living as Apple techs should have access to all hardware manuals, not just the latest ones. Secondly, people collect discarded hardware that could be rebuilt and sold using proper manuals. Lastly, the library is powerful information in lieu of planned obsolescence. Basically, if you can’t afford to buy a new Mac, at least you have the knowledgeable option to repair one.”

Company Information

The Mac Support Store is an Apple Authorized Help Desk Specialist, Reseller, and Service provider in New York City. Since 1996, they have supported over 17,000 business computers with Pro Support and iSupport for home users. The company is on the web at www.macsupportstore.com.
