RE: [jug-discussion] Price to replace my current laptop Re: [jug- discussion] Mac question
I got a TiBook for 3000 with an Airport base station and a Copy of Office for Mac. Without those the price was like, $2400. Very sweet.

But, it really depends on how long you plan on keeping it (I have been using mine for over a year). If you plan on keeping it 3+ years and still getting good use out of it I would opt for the Ti if at all possible, if not get the best iBook you can afford (max ram, max hd, best processor, airport, combo drive), looks like about $1800. -warner On Thursday, October 17, 2002, at 09:41 AM, Rick Hightower wrote: Okay...

[jug-discussion] new BrainBench tests
There are two new BrainBench tests: J2EE and EJB 2.0 CMP. The EJB 2.0 has a lot of questions on MDB and EJB CMP CMR. I took them last night. The EJB 2.0 test was a lot easier than the EJB 1.1 test. The J2EE test was really hard, and I thought I bombed it, but I did okay.
