Re: G4 For Prismo!!
I think it will be more interesting to see how a company that has already gone out of business once will be able to convince customers to trust them the second time around. I have a Newer Tech G3 card in my trusty ol 6100, never missed a beat, I think Newer techs quality was good, the business plan well maybe not so good, but in the Mac market it is a tough ride. Not sure of the principals behind the newer Newer ' but if the crew who marketed the last of the old stuff, they are good folks.. Glad to see someone trying to keep the Mac after market products going. In the computer business life is measured in dog years... Geoff -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook 500 cover hinge binding? Irregular back-lighting?
This appears to be a known issue on these machines. My icebook has been back to Apple twice over the hinge issue. When it first came back, all was fine for a week, and then it came back. When I went to the Apple store, the Mac Geniuses were claiming that the machines were supposed to do that, and he then proceeded to show me a brand new 14 iBook with the same problem. After I pressed him for a reason, he said it was because the iBooks were screwed too tight I've also seen about a dozen iBook 500/600s in for this issue. I used to work part time at a Mac shop in Clearwater, FL. Though, the screen casing will come apart from heavy usage. It's a ball buster to be without your iBook for a week, but it's better than having the casing come apart in your hands. Even after the second time, my machine's casing is coming apart again. Damned Apple Quality Control. I have enough horror stories about the CRT iMacs. ~ ian - Ian R.

The graphics card (which does the rendering) doesn't care how big the screen is physically; all it cares about are # of pixels.

Actually, if you consult Apple's Knowledge Base articles, you will find that the slot-loading mechanisms do accept smaller-sized discs. I have personally used the (approx. 2.5-inch diameter) discs in my slot-loading iMac DV (DVD drive). Apple does specify that the discs must not be odd shaped. Circular but small is fine. I believe the article even has pictures, but it was a half year ago that I looked it all up. I recall thinking back about this when I saw some business card size CD-R blanks on sale, but realized that they won't work in slot-loaders because of the irregular shape. Mind you, I don't know how the new combo drives will work, but I bet they'll be ok too.

Re: Powerbook not booting from CD-R
On Wednesday, June 19, 2002, at 12:58 AM, Justin Ramirez wrote: If it booted a Beige G3, it may not have a recent enough OS, or the incorrect Mac OS ROM file, to boot your powerbook. Make a new CD that has at least 9.0.4 and preferably 9.1 just to be safe. This has happened with a cd that was burned (burnt?) a while ago (it has 9.0.4 on it I believe) and with a cd that was burned in OS X just today. I tried it a few times with no luck. Just for your info., it's Verbatim media and I used Toast to burn it. Also, it saw the CD in the Startup Disk pane as a valid startup disk...but when either choosing the CD from the Startup Disk pane or holding the c key when starting up, it always just boots from my hard drive. If the computer boots to a commercial CD, then there's not likely anything wrong with the PowerBook, but rather it's likely that it's something wrong with the CD you're using and/or the way it was burned. Since it boots another computer, I'm assuming that you're using decent media and you're burning it correctly. That narrows it down to the system software that's going onto the CD. where is this system software coming from? What was used to create the image you're burning? Was it straight off the CD that came with another computer? Did you use the OS 9 installer to install a system folder onto the image? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
