you'd think, he being a lawyer and all, probably would have looked into

I've paid $1100 for a 400 MHz about 6 months ago, with only 64 MB RAM, 20 GB
hard disk, DVD, one battery and the adapter. However, it did come with
AppleCare that is good until December 2003. I thought I would pay slightly
more and have the protection of AppleCare...

It is amazingly, I have had a Wallstreet II Series G3, 3 months after 
it was introduced and I have had  none of the problems discussed on 
this site; other than not being able to connect to internet in OSX 
and now being able to install OS X on my new 40GB 5400 Travelstar

[Joseph Ferrare]

I'm considering selling my Powerbook, but am completely out of my 
depth trying to establish a fair asking price.  It's in very good 
condition, but since my move back stateside, I simply don't have the 
travel schedule I used to, and it hasn't moved off the desk twice in 
the last year.

The 'Book:

Pismo 500 Mhz
1 Gig RAM
32 Gig HD (5400 rpm Travelstar)
DVD
250 Zip expansion bay drive
original disks.

Haven't gone on battery power in months, but it was fine when last I 
did.  I'd no doubt include a few laptop-specific accessories: a leather 
brief case, leather screen protector, Cool Pad and the air/auto power 
adapter.  I have some software to include, but it's mostly older OS 9 
stuff -- Conflict Catcher, Nisus Writer, Word Perfect.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Re: Wallstreet intermittent problem

[João Loureiro]

Justin here is the link to a possible solution

http://discussions.info.apple.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.3bbabae0/0

Maybe this works:
Go into OS 9 and delete the monitor preference
reboot into jaguar and reset your monitor preferences.
lock the preference file (get info) and this will stop happening.

Wallstreet intermittent problem

[vwfnatc]

Every once in a while when I start up my Wallstreet running 10.2 my
backlight will not come on, however, when I press the brightness button once
either up or down it comes on? I haven't noticed this under OS 9 however I
rarely boot into 9 anymore. Wondering if anyone has a solution or if there's
more than meets than eye.

I have done it as well.  Just recently I installed 10.2 on a 30gb external
2.5" drive.  Not a hitch.  Are you sure you didn't *accidentally* select the
wrong drive to install it on??

apple only provides 90 days of complimentary tech support on the phone. 
if you pay them the $50 and it winds up being a warranty issue, they 
don't ever actually charge you the $50.

before you even discuss suits, you PROBABLY want to look at the text of 
the Apple Warranty.

actually. it is necessary to boot to the OS X install disk to

beyond this i install OS X 10.2 onto external firewire drives on a

Clean install installs a completely new System folder, and transfers 
user and permissions information to the new system, so that you can log 
in and see your own stuff again. It will replace applications that are 
included in the install, and leave along applications which arent'.

This is even doable by hand with a lot of NetInfo skullduggery.

Those should be in *your* users's Library folder, not to be comfused 
with the System Library folder.

  Maybe also some fonts.

Fonts are in either your Fonts folder or the System fonts folder.

Why do you say your system is buggy? This is the first line of 
attack...if you log on as a different user, do you have the same 
problems? If not, the prolems lie in your user preferences files, not in 
the system.

Clean Install OSX

[Clyde Kahrl]

Does anyone know how to do a clean install of OSX and keep your files?
I know that OSX  can set aside your old system folder on an 
install but if the thing was buggy to begin with I want to know what 
is going into the new system.
For example, I would love to transfer my ViaVoice files to 
OSX 10.2 without transferring anything else.  Maybe also some fonts. 
BUT OSX is so complicated and there are so many invisible files i 
don't know how to do this.   Carbon Cloner clones your system 
folder--but if it's buggy what does this do?
IDEAS?

BAD Apples

[Clyde Kahrl]

I have a refurbished 550 Ti-Book purchased late March 2002. 
Warranty and support are for 1 year.
My ethernet port has never worked as well as I thought it 
should in loggin in, etc.
In May, It stopped working with one of my 10/100 switches. in 
June it stopped working with my Farrallon 10/100 switch at home (it 
would light the light on the switch and say that it was connected but 
the TCP-IP Number would change every 5-15 seconds).  It would not 
work with my skynet switch, my linksys router, my old assante router 
and my brand new assante router.  It would only work on the 10B-T 
ports of my Asante switch--not the 10/100 ports.   Apple has 
consistently given me the run around on this.
Finally, three weeks ago, my port quit entirely.  Apple 
refused to talk to me.  Apple claimed that my machine was not 
registered even though I can go online and find service notes on my 
Ti-book.  They claimed that only one of the 4 macs that I have 
purchased in the last 4 years was registered.   AND THIS IS SO even 
though I purchased it at the apple store !!! and I have actually 
purchased OSX and so forth!!
Apple said that even though I might have a warranty claim I 
had to pay them $50 to look at it.  They denied that I was entitled 
to 1 year support for my refurbished book.
So I paid them $400 for Applecare.
They fixed it, and it is clear that the ethernet never worked 
right in the first place.  It logs on great now.
As a further matter, my internal drive got all screwed up, 
because while I was trying to back up by way of the IR port, I 
booted in OS 9 and the system froze.  I could only get it restarted 
with the interrupt button which screws up the date and time--my 
folders and files got screwed up dates (I don't know why) and now my 
files are a mess.
Being a lawyer, I figure I'll sue them if I have some free 
time.   I should never have had to had the port go out altogether 
anyway.
As an aside, my Lombard had the same thing happen to 
it---later.   It happened when I plugged it into the power while it 
was on the network.  The Lombard's ethernet was gradually going bad 
also.   I replaced that ethernet with an Assante card.  Wow, what a 
difference.
I have always believed that Apple's  built in ethernet was a 
strength, but based upon my experiences (I also had a PM7300  whose 
ethernet gradually went bad and then died--and it was not just the 
10B-T that died, the AAUI went bad simultaneously -- the ethernet 
will log on when it is cold--but when it gets just slightly warm it 
goes dead.)   Without ethernet your modern Mac (or pc) is in serious 
trouble.  IR is useless.  Target firewire is pretty good.  10B-T is 
really slow for serious file transfers now that OSX has added so many 
files.

I proceeded to install OSX 10.2 on an external firewire 
drive.  The external drive had 3 partitions.  The internal drive of 
the FlowPow iMac had three partitions and was running OSX 10.2.
 I selected the option in OSX that provides for complete 
erasure of the old system before installing.
The install disk rebooted from the CD   EVEN THOUGH THAT 
WAS NOT NECESSARY --- because the internal drive was already 10.2 and 
I only wanted to upgrade the  external disk.
The install disk---WIPED OUT MY ENTIRE INTERNAL Drive BOOT 
PARTITION 
Even though it only installed 10.2 on the external drive 
--and it did not touch any of the other partitions, it wiped out the 
entire 10.2 internal partition and did not install anything on it =.
Furthermore, It reformatted the 10.2 partition with the old 
HFS formatting!?!   I tried everything (New Norton, Old Norton, 
Diskwarriors ) to find anything on this partition and it was so 
completely wiped I couldn't recover a single file.  And then I had to 
completely reformat the partition to install system 10.2 all over 
again !?!
THIS IS A HUGE and SERIOUS INSTALLATION BUG.
THE LESSONS:
1)   if you want to do a clean install---do it cleaning  manually.
2)  Use extreme caution installing 10.2 one computers with 
multiple disks.

IBM Disks; FW enclosures

[Clyde Kahrl]

Wtih regard to FWire enclosures I have one of the $60 OWC 
2.5" disk enclosures and it is the coolest thing.  It seems to work 
fine.  It is a cinch to swap disks in and out.

With regard to my 40G IBM TRavelstar I bought 3 weeks ago. 
After a long process in which I transferred my files  etc from my 
original internal Ti-Book 20G drive (which is also a travelstar) by 
way of my OWC firewire enclosure,  I got the new travelstar up and 
running.  It was very fast and quiet for several days.  I walked away 
from it at 3PM Friday, and when I woke up the computer at 5PM it made 
unbeleivably horrible noises--indicating its dead nature.
I called OWC on Monday morning, & they were to send a new 
one.  It apparently didn't get done because on Wednesday I called 
again and only then it got done and I got it Friday.  However, give 
them credit for sending it before they received my old drive back 
again. So now the new one is in the Ti-book and we'll see how it 
works.   Right now it is working great.  It seems very fast and it is 
so quiet I have reached to restart the computer and found that only 
the moniter was asleep.
As an aside, I purchased a 40G IBM Deskstar for my 
secretary's cube a year ago and the exact same thing happened---It 
died in the first week.  And again, it got immediately replaced and 
has run great since.   (It is so important to have a quiet drive on a 
Cube).

just drag Script Menu.menu to your menu bar and let go when all the 
icons rearrange to where you want them.

Re: Jaguar mail question

[John Slavin]

Well, you're right Jeremy.  Now here's the strange part.  I swear that 
Applescript icon wasn't in my finder menu.  I went to the preferences 
to see if I could add it.  That didn't work.  So then I thought that 
perhaps it was an application and maybe the setting to add the icon was 
in the application, so I looked in the application folder and found the 
Script Editor application together with a folder called "Script 
menu.menu"  The script editor didn't have any settings for adding it, 
(there are preferences, but it was greyed out), so I tried to open 
script menu.menu, but there wasn't anything in it, but the description 
says it's a menuextra plugin.  So I think I'll go find the folder 
called menuextra plugins and put a copy in there.  But I can't find it 
using "find".  But mysteriously, when I close the window, the script 
icon is now in my menu bar.  WHAT is going on here.  Incidentally, the 
script for removing the outgoing mail servers is in fact there and when 
I ran it, I could get rid of two servers that I couldn't delete when I 
launched it from scripts.  Weird stuff.  I think it would be better 
though it the access to scripts were in the mail application.  It would 
make more sense that having to go back to the finder.

Speaking of menu icons, I also wanted to point out that Jaguar adds 
another feature I've never seen documented. There is now an icon for PC 
cards in the menu bar.  When you pull it down your inserted cards 
appear and you can software eject them from there.  Up till now, you've 
only been able to use the hardware buttons.  I never could remember 
which was which and would end up ejecting the wrong card.

there's an applescript included with Jaguar that handles this. Look in 
/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/ for a script called "Manage SMTP 
Servers". Run that it'll let you delete old ones.

Re: Pismo operating temp/G4 Upgrade

[K]

When and where did you get the upgrade done?  I have been watching to see if
anyone that has had the upgrade has posted about it because I am considering
it for my Pismo.  What are you using the system for?..Video work, wp , games
etc? I want to get into some video and wonder how the upgrade works with FCP
etc..
TIA,

Jaguar mail question

[John Slavin]

Thought I'd report that I'm using Jaguar on my Wallstreet 233.  I don't 
do any fancy video stuff on it, but for basic computer use, it's just 
fine.

But here's my question.  Jaguar has a big improvement for me.  Previous 
version of OSX would only let you set one outgoing mail server, so 
every time I went from home to work or viceversa, I'd have to go into 
the mail preferences and change the out going server.  Jaguar stores 
the previous servers you have used and if you send mail with the wrong 
one, a pop of window will appear and the using a pull down menu you can 
pick the right server.  Much better.  However, over time I've use a 
bunch of different servers (or more accurately variations of the same 
server) and I'd like to delete all but the two I use (home and work).  
But I can't figure out how to do that, or where the preference file is 
located.  Can anyone help?

Is this true, that the Pismo runs cooler WITH the G4 500 upgrade? Wow,
that's cool news...(...sorry).  Seriously, my G3 400 is quite the little
upside-down hot plate at times (although I must agree that it never has any
problems). I was hesitating to consider upgrading to the G4, as I feared it
would make things hotter... but if it actually makes things COOLer...(!)

Any other list members have experiences with heat comparisons after
upgrading to the G4 500..?  Thanks, all.

I don't remember seeing many Lombards having this problem, but the
generation before, the Wallstreet and PDQ, were notorious for this problem.
I think it was in part because Apple decided in the manufacturing to use
very cheap metal pot to make the hinges, so it wasn't surprising that so
many of them were breaking, usually after the standard 1 year warranty was
over...

Well, it was actually the same repairs- They would send the lombards in for 
the processor replacement and apple would go ahead and replace the hinges 
while they were at it and never explained why. Does the lombard have weak
