Re: security re: file sharing/networks
Hi, Listers! After reading all those theft of service dire warnings, unenforsable (sp.?) in my view, and considering that I live in Mexico, just across the border from Texas, I went to see the top engineer in my Cable Company Internet Division. The official line: I can have 5 computers connected via the Ethernet ports, and up to 24 via Wireless. So to me closing or opening my Wi-Fi transmiter (sp?.) is a moot point. After 2 years of having it open, I decided to close it (only registered Wi-Fi cards can have access) because I began to worry if someone could be using it to do some nefarious thing, so now, sadly, my network is closed. I liked the idea of givinf free access to anyone living in the range of my signal, or parking near my apartment. I even met some very nice medicine students that way. 2 of them have their cards registered, and can come anytime near my apartment to check their mail or work on their projects. I do miss those simpler times when I knew almost all the people in my city that had an Internet connection. Best regards from Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico!

Re: Software Piracy
Hi, Listers! It is permisible by the eBay rules, to contact you about a similar item being auctioned in eBay. It is NOT permisible to contact you to offer you a similar item by-passing eBay, (a private sale). It is permisible to sell a computer with the OS only. The rules do not specify that the OS should be the original one for the computer. It is NOT permisible to include other software, like M$ Office, Adobe Photoshop, etc., if you advertise it, your auction will be cancelled, even if you include the erase disk clause. In more than a thousand eBay transactions, only ONCE did the seller sent me a letter transferring something to me. Really, he included the disks and a letter of transfer. Only one guy, in more than 300 computers and programs bought through eBay And an interesting story: I bought a Duo 230 some years ago, that included ALL the e-mail that this gal in a famous university ever sent. I'm seriously considering writing a novel based on this gal's VERY interesting love life, plus all the problems she had trying to adapt to the big university environment. It was very interesting reading, and made me a fanatic of the wipe every HD and re-install everything before selling it. Problem is, English is a second language to me, so I'm sure I would not do justice to the material. :-) Best regards.

Re: Mac OS X.3.9 on Wallstreet 233MHz?
Hi again, Listers! Thank you all for your opinions, tips, etc. One thing that I found is that I still do not learn the names of the versions, so I'm always wondering if Panther is X.3 or X.2. :-) James Sanderson wrote: if you really like Panther more than Jaguar. This comp had issues with Jaguar; it ran more slowly, wouldn't wake from sleep, and it had some serious video issues (screen would turn blank, for example, or it would 'melt'). The upgrade to Panther fixed all those issues, but ran slowly until I upgraded the processor, not that it's blazing fast now, mind, but it runs quite well for my needs. I installed OS X when it came out, but didn't run well on my Wallstreet, then I installed OS X.2 on it and it was passable. I sold that PB, bought a Pismo and installed OS X.3 on it. What a difference! This was usable! But, I sold my Pismo, too. I was going to buy one of the 600 MHz iBooks, but I spent the $$$ on more urgent things. Now I bought the WS II, and I'm wondering about the OS. What I found out, is that what is fast for some is slow for others. I don't mind waiting 2 or 3 seconds for a web page to appear. My son considers that unacceptably slow. I find OS X.3.9 runs well on a 400 MHz iMac, but my son finds it slow. It's all relative. Nick wrote: I would stick with 9 on that machine. My buddy has a 500Mhz Pismo and it runs X ok. A bit pokey, but it goes. That is what I was thinking about. You consider OS X on a 500 MHz Pismo a bit pokey. I consider OS X.3 on a Pismo 400 MHz and on an iMac 400 MHz very good. And Mad Dog wrote: Its going to be slow, but what do you expect. I am quite surprised how well my G3/300 WS2 runs 10.3.9. Using XPF you might have to fiddle a bit if you get the Purple Panther Problem, but its solvable. I don't remember reading about the PPP. What is it? Once again, thank you all for your input. I'm leaning to stay with OS 9.2.2, until I get at least a 300 MHz CPU upgrade.

Mac OS X.3.9 on Wallstreet 233MHz?
Hi, Listers! I'm getting a Wallstreet with a 6 Gb HD, 288 Mb RAM, and 233 MHz G3. It's going to be used mainly for light Web browsing, and a few Excel spreadsheests. Nothing processor-intensive. I was wondering if OS X.3 would run OK on this machine, or if I should stay with OS 9.2.2. I have OS X.2, too. But I've grown acustomed (spell?) to OS X.3.9, it runs very well in my iMac 400 MHz with 320 Mb. Thank you for your input.

Any users care to share their experiences with the Kanga? I've used this wonderful machines, however, I sold my last one on eBay a few weeks ago. They are fast. I prefer OS 8.6 on them. However, I used 9.1 because a couple of programs required it. They are fast and rugged. I wish I still have mine. However, I need DVD playing on my laptop, and every new program requires OS X.2 or .3 , so I had to sell it, and with the funds I bought a Pismo. Another thing, They have the BEST sound of ANY Mac laptop that I have ever heard. Sound like a ghood quality portable stereo. Hope this helps.

It increases if I talk for a long time (more than 10 minutes). The PB usually is on connected to the Internet. Eudora is set to check the mail every 15 minutes. Firefox is on but not searching, just in the background. Could the NetGear base be the culprit?

Dumb OS X.3.4 Question

Then I bought myself a great, fast computer (for me that is a Pismo 400 MHz with 256 Mb and a 40 Gb HD), and installed OS X.3, upgraded to X.3.4. Everything works great, and is reasonably fast.

Eudora Question, from OS 9 to OS X
Hi, Listers! I've been using Eudora in several computers and several versions, and I always could move my massive amount of mail (around 35 Mb) from computer to computer and from several OSes, up to OS 9.2.2. Of course I have it backed up in CD, but I like to have it on hand. Now I have a Pismo with OS X.3 and I'm wondering if it would be as easy to move, what with the newer (to me) way of storing things, where should I move my Mail' file? Best regards.

If you do decide to install OS 9 on the second partition, **be sure** to tell Disk Utility to install OS 9 drivers when you format and partition your drive.

Re.: Lots of G3 wallstreet internal modem disconnecting- seenthisbefore?
X Subject: Lots of G3 wallstreet internal modem disconnecting- seen this before? From: Sid Barras Hi all, My internal wallstreet modem is constantly dropping out, plus it connects at slower speeds (48000, or 49333 as opposed to 5 to 52000) compared to the global village 56k buscard modem I had been using in my previous workhorse, the pb 1400. X Hi, Sid! Same thing happened to me. After a year or so of working flawlessly, the internal modem started to disconnect apparently at random, and after much troubleshooting, I gave up and bought a 56K PC Card modem. That was a year ago, and the PC Card modem is still going strong. The internal/ A tech told me that maybe it received a spike' and that is why it acted so strange. So get the GV modem on that WS, I had one once and it was the fastest modem I had, consistently connecting at 52K, while the MegaHertz that I have now tops at 48K. Best regards.

Re: Need recommendation for WS repair.
Hi, Tom! Thank you for your input. I'll check with this companies before making my decision. Best regards. Hugo Diaz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings.. I saw your posting about the Wallstreet repair. I had a similar issue with my Pismo (dropped it and cracked that board). At the time (not knowing this group), I found three companies on the web to do repairs: Powerbookguy.com (in SF, CA), wegenermedia.com (in SC), and the guys at pbparts.com (in AZ). After comparing prices and service, I sent my machine to Wegener, and they did the job for me, quite well. I also dropped the same machine a few months ago and cracked the LCD, which they also replaced for me. The LCD alone was $200 or 300 less than anyone else I could find... My thought is that you might check with them.. I think they charge a flat rate on powerbook repairs (I paid $50 per visit for all labor on my Pismo, which I thought was better than any car mechanic!). You're right--the savings on labor more than covered my shipping costs, and I was pleasantly surprised to get my own machine back within a couple of days on both occasions. Here in Dallas I couldn't seem to find a single company that was reliable or even knew what the issue was when I mentioned my Powerbook--so I'd DEFINITELY recommend sending it to someone who knows what they're doing. I took it to 2 different stores here and both said it would be a 'new logic board' ($699 $900), and when I pressed, neither store knew anything specifically about the powerbook--I think they were just going to find someone online to do it. Both stores said they'd need the machine for at least 2 weeks to get it repaired.. Hope that helps!

Need recommendation for WS repair.
Hi! My PowerBook Wallstreet has this classic problem. I need to prop up the a/c plug so it exerts pressure, otherwise the battery won't charge, and even if the Control Strip shows that the PB is taking its power from the wall, the battery is the one that it really working, discharging normally. Now I have to prop the charger plug at a very steep angle, before it needed just a bit of pressure to show the lighting bolt, now it needs a lot and to be just so. I need some recommendation: Some shop that can fix this at a reasonable cost. I don't want to pay $85 an hour, for a two hour job, at least, plus the cost of the needed pieces of hardware. In other words, more than $200 US dlls. It is NOT economically sound. I figure than even with shipping charges, I can have a more cheap, well-done job. So, anyone cares to recommend some Mac Guru somewhere? And if this is off-topic, then e-mail me off list. TIA and best regards.

Re: Webcam and NetMeeting ?
I remember that I was using iVisit for Mac. It has a version for Windows, too, but I don't remember if there's a OS X version. Anyway, it does work... Best regards.

Mac OS X on WallStreet
A few months ago I installed Mac OS X.1.5 on my WallStreet II, 266 MHz, 256Mb, 20 Gb. No problems, except that it doesn't support the DVD player or the USB and FireWire PC Cards that I have. My PC Card modem was supported only in v.X.1.5 with a generic driver that didn't had the speed of the original driver, and the worst was that the graphics were kinda slow, so slow that I erased the whole HD and reinstalled Mac OS 9.2.1. I've been very happy ever since. But IF I get another, newer PB, I want to install X.2.x. But not on my WallStreet. Best regards.
