Remote Control
I don't remember this being a subject... Is there a way of remotely controlling i-Tunes thru Pismo's IR port? I'd consider buying an airport card (if it can be used for the purpose??? ) if I could jump thru songs from my bed...(I have a short RCA cable:-) P.S I don't like creating playlistsmy mood changes too often for a playlist to stay curent;-) TIA vlad -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook vs. PowerBook
The State Schools here in Wisconsin just started a new policy this year (daughter starting as a Freshman) that all students are required to get a PC Laptop through the school and will have to purchase that PC even though they have a computer of their own. Tom So I would recommend buying the cheapest powerbook you can afford that meets the standards for school. Then buy a second low-end PB in your senior year. You will recoup at least 30% of the value (hopefully more) of your first PB to buy the second PB. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Laurent, I will have to check that out when I get back on my Pismo again! Wisconsin being the socialist state that it is, may have just moved to their own time zone overnight, so I may have to check that out also. Anyway, the PC requirement in College is something we all should think about, since it seems to be just another way Mac's are being pushed out the door.

For the sheer power, and the best long term investment, the G4/667 is the best. The iBook is due for a G4 upgrade now that's the only product line using the G3. So, that's somekind of dead end and if you're planning to use it for many years, you might not be able to run the latest Mac OS on it sooner than you might think.

To tie this thread to G-Books, I'm just trying to find and eliminate the processor hogs on my TiBook 550, since the fan keeps coming on while I'm doing nothing but typing in a note database. First question is answered from a newsgroup posting: What is LaunchCFMapp? LaunchCFMApp is a process that the operating system uses to launch (start) a Code Fragment Manager app. CFM apps are Carbon apps that are designed to run under both MacOS Classic (with CarbonLib) and MacOS X. Some examples include iTunes and iMovie 1.0. When you double-click on such an app, the computer runs LaunchCFMApp and then LaunchCFMApp loads and executes the program. The name shows up to ProcessViewer as LaunchCFMApp because ProcessViewer is a seriously brain-damaged program. Its programmers, no doubt fresh in the Apple lab from a wild night of drinking Jolt Cola down at the local strip club, never bothered to peek inside the LaunchCFMApp structure to see what the REAL name of the executing program is. Top (from a terminal window) will, however. Second question: Since the TiBook acts as one very large heat sink, it can handle VERY HIGH temperatures. The Pismo and earlier books rarely every went on fan, but the TiBook, mine especially, will do it even when it is 60 degrees in my office. It's normal and a design specialty (not flaw) of the computer. That's straight from the Genius Bar at the Mall Of America Apple Store last week. Hi all. Just a random question for the more-OS X-savvy-than-me crowd. hehe. What exactly is LaunchCFMApp? It's at the very top of my process list at almost all times, is owned by me, and consistently is using about 15-20% of my processor. It also appears to spawn multiple copies of itself that consume less. What is this app? Is it part of the OS, or something attached to an app I installed? To tie this thread to G-Books, I'm just trying to find and eliminate the processor hogs on my TiBook 550, since the fan keeps coming on while I'm doing nothing but typing in a note database. -- Ryan Coleman Coleman Web / Internet Services http://coleman-web.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (612) 378-7901 Get your email address through lemlists.com for only $5/year. http://lemlists.com/email/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

USB sharing

I was hoping the OS X print center would allow me to find it and set it up. Apple support has told me I can't print to my printer (wirelessly or wired) ... which I find hard to swallow. Bull feathers. Then why do they include a driver for it in OS X? When I mentioned I had Asante products in the mix, he indicated since there were non-Apple products in the mix, Apple doesn't get into system setup or troubleshooting (said to get a consultant). I would be satisfied to print via ethernet; I would be thrilled to print to it via the wireless setup. Anybody have insight/possible solutions to this? Bry- The print server on your router should work as long as 1) the printer is PS2 and 2) you have the driver installed. A driver comes with OS X. You can try using a parallel port cable from the LW Select 360 (nice old workhorse) to the router. According to Asante's info, this should work just fine.

Re: USB sharing
There are two options for USB sharing of an Epson printer. There's the poor utility that Epson has, and there's Apple's USB Printer Sharing. Apple's was the lesser of two evils for me, but it worked so poorly that I ended up springing for an Epson C80N so I could hang it on the network as a standalone. Apple's USB printer sharing worked on my Appletalk network using DHCP server for IP address assignments, but it would often lose the remote address of the printer and I'd have to go back to the host computer, regenerate the shortcut, then copy it to the remote machine in order to get it to work. Very frustrating. I think if you never turn off either machine, it will minimize your problems. - Jeff Lentz --- Bruce Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ryan Coleman wrote: how will you do it then?

Ibook vs powerbook??
I'm curious about the quote regarding Wisconsin state schools requiring students to buy pc's through the school. I am now a senior but have heard of no such thing. The State Schools here in Wisconsin just started a new policy this year (daughter starting as a Freshman) that all students are required to get a PC Laptop through the school and will have to purchase that PC even though they have a computer of their own. Tom In fact at UW-Stevens Point they require you buy a mac laptop for their graphics laptop. If you could point me to a website or something I would appreciate it greatly.

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
Do you think the FireWire iBooks (Clamshell and iceBooks) would ever be candidates for G4 upgrades like the 400mhz Pismo? I have two G3s, a 500mhz Pismo and a 466mhz Clamshell. Does anyone think that there'll be an economic incentive for this? I might be sorry, but i intend to install Jaguar on both of these G3s and will hope for the best. I'd sort of like to stick it out and wait for the next generation of chip when I upgrade. Maybe in two years when my warranties are gone there will be a new IBM chip or a G4 or something developed as a consortial effort by both Motorola and IBM.

Actually I've perceived the next OSX upgrade as a becoming more of a hardbody than a bloated upgraded. I look forward to it for my 500MHz iBook which has only a quarter of the backside cache your machine sports. Even with the recent addition of 512MB RAM for it (I swapped out a 128MB) it still doesn't feel as fast as when it ran OS9.2.2. While Apple has added more features to each upgrade of OSX, they have also continued fine tuning and streamlining it. OSX.1 compared to the first release of OSX is significantly faster and more reliable. I'm sure it has been no easy task to take a UNIX operating system and give it the look and feel of a Macintosh, which is why there were a number of basic, familiar functions missing in it's initial release (windowshades, spring loaded folder etc.). While some of these basics don't seem that significant, I'm been surprised at the number of times I've double-click-held a folder in an attempt to drill down, only to remember that the function is missing. Oddly, my biggest pet peeve is that command-N now invokes a new window in the Finder rather than make a new folder. Why? WHY!? Oh well, I'll live. -makmac -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
So the G4 upgrades for 400mhz Pismos doesn't involve soldering? They open them and lift out the daughtercards? And then attach a new CPU to the motherboard? I know some people like to hack their Clamshells...that would explain why they stop at the processor.

Re: OS 10.2 and beyond...
Yah the processer pops right out of the PowerBook 2000 edition real easy almost to easy, You have to remove it i think if i remember right to install the lower ram chip. I remember readin that the 2000 powerbook was suppose to be a G4 under orginal design but due to heat problems they intalled a G3 instead. Thus actually the Powerbook motherboard was a powerbook G4 motherboard with a G3 processor on it. (this was in macworld or some other mac publication back in 2000 - have the artlcle somewere filed away in my two industrial size file cabinets in my little apartment. To be honest OS X 10.1 works better then the orginal OS 9.0.4 when i bought it new in Nov 2000. I almost entirly use OS X 10.1 on it now since i use my G4 Dual 500 for all my audio, graphics and video stuff. The laptop is a portable for work at a local school and to transport stuff when i travel.

All the comments I have read on the Internet were unanimous in saying that 10.2 was significantly faster than 10.1. People with beta versions were reporting that the latest builds were perceptibly faster than the previous ones, which were faster than 10.1, this is even if you rule out Quartz Extreme, which disqualifies a lot of Macintosh that simply don't have the right video card or an AGP slot. Some specifications on the Apple's web site were calling for an optimal 32 MB video card with AGP, although that was optimum performance. I'm wondering, since the Pismo has an AGP slot, if we could expect some hardware-based acceleration, even though the video card in the Pismo has only 8 MB. I guess we'll see, but I'm not holding my breath. I remember using a Wallstreet before the Pismo and how abysmal were the video performance...
