VST 250-mb Zips on Sale
Subject: VST 250-mb Zips on Sale Question, though: Are the Sept. '98 Wallstreets (266mhz) designed/shaped differently from the '99-'00 models? The below description says this VST-Zip would go in the right expansion bay, and that is where the CD-ROM is on my '98/266 WS. Will this VST-Zip fit there? Seems I went thru this before... searching for an internal zip drive but they always say they are for '99-'00 models, but not the '98 powerbook/WS. Thanks for any insight. Best regards/BG BG - No, the expansion bay drives for 99/00 models won't fit the Wallstreet; it's a different model. Do a search on eBay for Wallstreet and zip drive, and you can see the physical difference between those and the later version. They seem to be available often on eBay, though not as common as the Pismo model. Hope that helps, Diane -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Broadband hardware
Thanks everyone for your responses! It's been extremely helpful to hear all the pros and cons, including experiences. I was given a MSN broadband modem a few months ago. It's an Arescom Model ND860VUE-MSN. I assume those MS folks want me to use their service, so they sent me a modem. My question is: Could I use this for a Cable modem with ATT instead? I know this is unsupported on their list of approved modems, but aren't modems pretty much similar? By the way, there is a software install CD. Couldn't I just hook up my Powerbook to the modem without any software? There is no cable jack on the rear of the modem, just a jack that looks like a telephone jack labeled DSL on it. The other jacks on the rear are USB, Ethernet, and power. I understand that ATT will install a cable end in my house, so is there any way to convert a cable into a telephone style jack?

Disk First Aid...word to the wise.
Some people have mentioned on these lists that you need to run DFA multiple times sometimes to fix a problem. Well, they're right. A user had a crash today, his Powerbook came back up with a flashing question mark. Booted from the system CD, ran DFA. It found a huge pile of problems overlapping extents, etc., repaired most of them and said to run it again. Running again it found fewer problems, repaired those. Running it a third time it found Mount check found a minor problem and repaired it. I ran DFA two more times; it reported the same Mount Check error and repaired it. Ran Tech Tool Pro; it found an unspecified problem and repaired it. Ran DFA *again* it pops up the same minor Mount Check error.

Re: Broadband hardware
They bashed ME *personally* on the phone on 2 separate occasions. I was told on the first, that since I was having problems that I should get a real computer and sell my Mac. On the second occasion I was told that they didn't support Macs because Apple was going out of business, and I should dump my Mac ASAP and get a DELL. An apple employee once bashed me on a tech support call, until I got through to a supervisor by calling back. Should I not buy an apple product ever again, even if I like the product? If I like a musicians music, but hate his politics, should I not listen to his music anymore? If I think someone is intelligent, but think many of his emotional opinions are not well thought out, should I completely discount him if he says there is a man behind me with a large steel pipe? This subject has been coming up over and over on these lists for over a year. It is the same thing over and over again. Why would any Mac user with a brain buy a Linksys product? They are a direct competitor with Farallon and Asante (2 very loyal Mac companies that offer similar products at the same price and fully support the Mac). If you buy a Linksys router you are shooting yourself in the foot! Asante and Farallon make a ton of Mac products...not just routers. Do you want one of them to go out of business? I was at Farallon the other day (they are located in Alameda, CA...where I live...No affiliation) and the mood was grim. I was told that other companies were undercutting them by a dollar or 2 and they were losing business. Business is business. Nothing emotional about it. If one product is just as good or better than another for what I want, and at a lower price point, I will buy it. If farallon can't figure out how to make money at their competitors prices, and dies- free market theory says they should. If they can't keep their price point by innovating great features that make their price point worthwhile to consumers, they should die. You have NO loyalty whatsoever to apple. Actually, it should be the other way around. Ie, if for some reason apple completely forgot how to compete again, or got exceptionally greedy again, they should die. Do the Math. If you don't then don't walk around whining when you lose all the products that a company like Farallon or Asante do for us and our platform. *sigh* I really wish they would focus more on economics in our education system. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Broadband hardware
As an aspiring Wireless nerd, I contacted Linksys Tech suppt dept by phone, to ask about AppleTalk, and was told We don't have anything to do with Mac, and don't do support for Mac systems. That is called covering their ass. If they can't help you, they don't walk to talk to you- they aren't supposed to, and they have to move on. That is the way large corporate support works, and why talking to a large company is always different than talking to a small company. The mac is a very niche market right now. If you are trying to compete on a high volume, low margin approach- it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to focus on niche markets, unless they have a large market gap and you can walk in and fill it =without= a lot of competition and added resources. If there is a large market gap (ie, cheap good wireless routers that can support appletalk) and a company can make a profit supporting it- more power to them. But if there isn't, or they don't think there is and their products are good, they shouldn't be bashed for it. In general- bash their product if it has serious defects, but bashing them or people who like their products because their views don't line up with yours isn't good. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

That is why I hate Linksys. Why are you so emotional about it as to actually hate an entire company? Dear god, I have issues with MS's business practices but I still bought their intellimouse explorer. I really couldn't *believe* the attitude I was given when the tech found out that I was using a Mac. Well, you're a tech- but I don't know if you have ever worked tech support. It is an extremely low paying job, with hour after hour of the worst, sometimes abusive calls coming in. It is literally the coal mining of computing- I have 2 friends that do it and joke that just like coal mining, you are different when you get out of it. It was so over the top that I was taken aback.

Re: Broadband hardware - my 2¢
On this issue of supporting certain companies, I have to side with Kyle on this. Although I've never purchased a Linksys product nor had contact with them, I have had contact with Asante on different occasions and they have always provided excellent service and stood fully behind their products. I do understand the thought process of buying what works and what is less expensive, but what about receiving service after the sale? If the product stops functioning and then you make that phone call for help and they say, no dice, then you are supporting a company that doesn't do business the way it should be done. I prefer to support companies that stand behind their product; if I have to pay a couple of dollars more, so be it. I teach consumer ed at the HS level and sometimes I use this adage with my students, You get what you pay for!. When you spend $ on a product, you are in effect voting for the way that company does business. I prefer not to vote for a company that doesn't stand behind its product, that's why my $ will go to Asante or Farallon. Uh... Maybe I am lost. You have never used their product, or called their line, so can't speak to their customer service. But them saying on the box we support windows XXX but not supporting you when you call with a mac question is not standing behind their product? So far the conversation I've read has been: Linksys does not support my platform of choice. It makes my penis feel smaller, and therefore I feel insecure and fear that maybe I made the wrong choice, and must bash them. Yeah! Yeah! Sorta Yeah! Each person has to make their own decision on their circumstances, but I believe it is important to support companies that make and stand behind their products (and that support compatibility with Apple OS). In this case, they explicitly do not support the mac. It doesn't have a macOS logo on the box. If you call with a windows question and they tell you to take a hike, that would be not supporting their product. If buying from companies that have decided to support the mac is your buying decision- great, you shouldn't be attacked for it, just like others shouldn't be attacked for theirs. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: zip same for 99 98 expansion bay ?

Do a search on eBay for Wallstreet and zip drive, and you can see the physical difference between those and the later version. They seem to be available often on eBay, though not as common as the Pismo model.
