Hm. The PDF manual you download off the internet has the instructions that
he gave, so it can't be illegal to own them...

.hac and upgrades

[Scott Moran]

Yes .mac blows but so many people have this email address. I am just 
gonna pay the piper and then pressure them for more and better stuff to 
offer us. You can't complain when things are free but when you pay, you 
have a better position to bargain from.

Anyway hello Dan, Laurent, Kyle and the other 599 members of G-Books,
do any of you have any experience with either the NuPowr G4 500 mhz or 
PowerLogix G4 500 mhz upgrade for the 400 mhz G3 Lombard. It may be to 
early to ask but if they are worth, it let me know, or should I just 
take my powerbook with me on a roller coaster to make it faster?

Scott

Re: Upgrade

[Seth M.]

Just couldn't help myself when I saw this commercial just now. It was one of
the Apple "Switch ads, and I think that funny looking guy hit the nail right
on the head.

"It's like being in a bad relationship."

Sure us Mac users are really angry about what has come of this year's
Smack-to-the-Mac-World-Expo in NY. However, how many of us are still kind of
teetering with the idea maybe just going ahead with this $49 subscription
thing just to see what may come of things or just to support their beloved
Apple Computer at this time or some other godforsaken, dumb, abused-partner
reason to stick with Apple on this one and just see things through on this
one.

One thing's for certain. Between charging people full price for what can
debatably be called an upgrade and not a new OS, there's now a certain
pronounced distrust of Apple by many of us in the Mac community. I wonder
how they're gonna gain back the trust and support of some of its lost sheep
who might be tempted towards "the Dark Side" or stray deeper into the
wonderful world of Linux geekdom.

There's definitely a certain "clunkiness" to the whole .Mac thing. Aside
from being a totally confusing thing. (What, do I type in www.apple.mac now
instead of .com?) And what's wrong with charging people a nominal fee for
basic e-mail service? If you've got 2.2 million subscribers already and it
seems that the majority wants just a good email service. What's so difficult
about saying, "hey, gimme 20, 30 bucks a year just for 5-10 megs of email. I
know we may have said (*not confirmed at this time*) it would be free for
life, but that was in another world when free somehow meant more revenue for
us. Sorry. Pay up!"

What about families? You mean to tell me mommy and daddy have to shell out
$99.95 a year, plus $10 for each additional mailbox for mommy, junior, and
babygirl. Then who gets the good account with the huge space and the little
photo signature feature? I foresee some serious sibling/spousal rivalry
going on here.

Apple, you always say "Think Different". Well, we Mac users out here just
want you to THINK on this one. Seriously.

ibook specs

[Mark Humphries]

Can anyone tell me if apple made the ibook 600mhx in DVD only or was that
just the 500mhz model? part number is M8598C/A. I am looking at one for sale
and it is listed as 600mhz DVD but I don't remember that model for sale. It
is also a French keyboard. how different is that keyboard?

Yeah.  You are using the wrong (and I might mention completely illegal for you
to posses unless you are an Apple Certified tech) service manual.  The way to
get to the inside of a Lombard is through the Keyboard.  Look at the top of
the keyboard near the 1 and delete keys.  There are a couple of little tabs
that you pull back and lift the leading edge of the keyboard up and pull it
back.  If that doesn't work then you have the keyboard locked.  Look towards
the middle above the 6 and you will see a small standard screwdriver slot that
you can use a small driver to slide the locking tab back.

For future reference.  Do not mention Apple Service manuals on this list.
Just ask how to get to the Hard Drive and someone (likely to be me) will
assist you.

Wallstreet Power Issues

[Don Silver]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying a used Wallstreet (not the 233
mhz with 12" screen) but have heard about battery
charging problems and AC adapter problems. I've dealt
with similar issues for years with my old 540c and
don't want to repeat them. Can anyone point me to a
link or FAQ on this topic?

TIA,
Don

Wallstreet firewire pc card q?

Have any of you had any luck with the ibm firewire cards in OS X? These seem
to go for very cheap on eBay. If not what cards have you guys had the best
luck with in X. Don't use OS 9 much anymore so compatibility with that isn't
that important.

Update on lemlists.com

[Dan Knight]

Unless Apple changes their mind, mac.com email addresses are *not* going 
to be free after Sept. 30. I don't use enough iTools services to justify 
the $99/year Apple wants. All I use mac.com for is email.

Ryan Coleman, of Coleman Web/Internet Services, and I are working on the 
details for setting up personal email accounts on lemlists.com. Because 
many of these lists are subsidized by ads, we will be keeping the cost of 
email addresses to $5 per year -- but we will only be offering 
lemlists.com addresses to people on one or more of our email lists.

Signing up for a lemlists.com email account helps subsidize our cost of 
managing the server and overseeing the lists, so it very much helps out 
Low End Mac.

The server is up and running, although there are no more details on the 
website  than in this email. We'll probably set a 
maximum mailbox size of 5 MB, which is typical, and Ryan does a lot of 
work to prevent spammers from using the server, something I really 
appreciate as a one-time IS manager and email administrator (not to 
mention as someone who gets too much spam daily).

If you are interested in singing up and haven't already contacted Ryan, 
please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do not reply to me or to the list. We 
hope to have things up and running in a few days.

I don't understand why you didn't call Apple right away if you have a
warranty issue. When my iBook battery was determined to be bad, they sent a
new one overnight, I think (maybe two day, it's been a while) and I sent the
old one back in the box it arrived in. Apple paid the shipping and I didn't
have to leave my office. I'd think they would be as accommodating with
something as critical as a power supply.

Heck, just over a year ago when my G4's keyboard went bad, Apple sent me a
replacement for it overnight (told me to toss the old one). Again, I didn't
have to get off my butt and suffer any heat or humidity (driving in a car
without air conditioning).

To date, when I've needed service, Apple has been very responsive and it has
allowed me to continue developing these powerful glutes for long periods of
sitting in front of the computer.

I have seen the TiBook power adapters fail on clients machines numerous
times.  It is covered under the 1 year warranty...providing that it wasn't
abused or run over by a car or something.

Cable is at home and I'm at work so I'll get you the pinout later. The connector was 
about $2 and you need a few feet of wire.

Care is recommended when first applying power. With a lab supply, you can set the 
current limit low and slowly increase the voltage until the load draws power. This 
prevents smoke from leaving components if power is applied incorrectly, and everyone 
knows it the smoke that makes electronics work because when it leaves the electronics 
don't work anymore.

In a jam when I leave my adapter at work over the weekend I use a laboratory power

You need 18 volts DC and if anyone is interested, I can post the pinout.

Ryan,

All the best from me. When I figured that the power adapter was broken, I
had only 10 minutes battery left. The TiBook is my preferred working tool
and I did not want to cope without it - not even for 48h (so I paid $80
bucks for the new adapter-see prev. post).
I feel they should give you a working adapter in exchange for the broken one
right away, especially within the warranty time (since they are most likely
going to replace yours anyway - check the serial nr).
So you have my full sympathy and I hope you get the ride and your adapter
back in 'no' time.

So, I just called FirstTech in Minneapolis. They will send it to

Re: Upgrade

[John Haumann]

You wouldn't pay $20 for a month (or two, or three) of free gas, but 
take offense instead?  I guess things like road-service agreements seem 
like rip-offs, too.

Get a grip, Michael.

Good point :-) Sign the petition for the mere ethics of it but support the
lemlists. He can't get a T1 without us. Support Mac owned businesses. (Mac
user owned that is!)

Jaguar pricing and MS push

[Jim]

Strange bedfellows... I suppose, in a perverse sort of way, Microsoft 
is helping us in a lobbying effort to make the 10.2 upgrade free for 
existing X users.  Their veiled threats to discontinue MS product 
support if Apple doesn't expand the user base of OS X seem almost as 
if they knew in advance that Apple was going to charge for the 
upgrade.

Re: TiBook power adapter issues

[R. Hannes Niedner]

Yup, had this happen to my power adapter (TiBook, 3months old)) last Friday
night. I went to the local Apple Store on Campus and they made me buy a
second adapter, whilst taking care of the broken one over the weekend. On
Tuesday Morning I was scheduled to pick up the fixed one, and I brought the
new one along to return it. As it turned out they wanted to give me a brand
new one to replace the broken one. This time I dealt with much more sensible
gentleman and he simply reimbursed me and I kept the new adapter and just
returned the box. Go figure.
I hope you can get a replacement right away without shelling out the $80,
even if it was only transiently. Principally I would not mind having a
second power adapter, but then none of the standard Apple ones. I really
love my TiBook, but the power adapter sucks big time (when will they finally
introduce a more sturdy version with a angled plug).

Cheers/h

This, as well, is incorrect. I was AT the MWNY keynote last year. During 
the keynote, it was free-with-shipping-and-handling and I'm pretty sure 
he said it'd be available completely free at local AASP's, etc. (I could 
be wrong about that).

Even if he didn't mention it being free at local AASP's, EVERYONE at the 
Apple Booth was saying that mere moments after the keynote.

Lotus Notes X (and YetAnotherMWNYComment)

[Seth M.]

I've been following the .Mac & Jaguar update fiasco. Man, I've got to admit,
this is the first MWNY keynote I would have gone to if it weren't for being
stuck here upstate at school due to testing. I'm really glad *now* that I
didn't go. I heard there was dead silence when Steve dropped the .Mac bomb.
I don't know if I could have took it that well. I've been reading the posts
and yelling profanities all night. You guys seem to have covered all the big
issues so there isn't much I could add.

However, from what I read on MacSlash.org, Apple seems to be soliciting
feedback on the upgrade pricing issue. Hopefully as with all of this
Macworld mess, things will get worked out so us lowly Mac users can get back
to productivity and make enough to afford more bread to go with this sh*t
sandwich Apple's serving us.

Now on to my question. Has anyone had any experience with the Lotus Notes 6
beta for OS X. I haven't heard any buzz coming from MWNY so I guess we'll be
waiting a bit longer for the release, but I wanted to know if anyone had any
experience with it so far. Any comparisons with the Windows version?

Thanks,

Seth

The instruction I referenced were for converting your account. See
"Converting your .Mac trial account to an email-only account" not "Adding an
email-only account". Please scroll down far enough to find that link.

And as mentioned in my other post, the article I referenced stated; "At
press time, however, the options for completing the procedure are not yet in
place." which logically means they will be in place at some point.

Yes, ADDING another email account is available only to paid customers.
However the instructions I referenced are "Converting your .Mac trial
account to an email-only account".

The trial account is FREE, hence converting a FREE account would indicate
that it will continue to be FREE. And if you read the last line in the
article I referenced; "At press time, however, the options for completing
the procedure are not yet in place." then it's obvious that Apple is adding
this option as soon as it can be programmed into their site.

I did just check and it's still not available but then I have no idea how
long it take to add in these additions.
