Re: Beerbook/Spill Damage
RE; perhaps, but I should mention lightning damage(florida) homeowners policy and insurance on lightning protection devices cover such a low (used) percentage amount,also at the cost of a raised insurance rate,coverage for electronics damage is poor at best,theft and fire are quite a bit better.but thats here, where you are may be very different. best wishes Is it common for both homeowners AND apartment insurance to cover mishaps other than fire or theft when it comes to replacing computers?

In spite of my encouragements to my wife to keep drinks away from her laptop, she has had three or four spills onto her keyboard. It's been different things--sweet tea (iced tea) pepsi, and hot tea. Each time, she shut off her computer immediately, and I was forced to take her keyboard apart. Once was on her Duo, and twice on her PB 1400 (It has a g3 card so it belongs on this list) :-) Anyway, the Duo was a simple fix, because the keyboard is so cheaply built. :-) The 1400 surprised me, however. It appears that the keyboard in that thing can trap a fair amount of liquid, and not let any of it escape onto the mobo below, or drip into the actual actuators inside. It is a marvel of engineering. I was quite surprised at how well it holds liquid. The last time I had it out, I purposely poured clean water on it to see how much it would hold, and it was quite a lot. The problem is getting the liquid out without spilling it! I used kleenex and Q-tips to get the liquid out, and it seems to work well.

Re: Beerbook/Spill Damage
Some years back a friend/client tried washing his keyboard in water; when it didn't work afterward he gave it to me. I put it in a box with some other junk, and a year later found it worked fine. Just needed to dry out. Most important, I think, if anything gets wet, is to _immediately_ remove all power, then take apart and clean if you can, then let it dry out as long and as well as possible. Here in New Mexico - where I never have to dry my dishes - that isn't hard, but in damper climates it'd probably be best to err on the side of excess. I'm surprised Dan could resurrect keyboards with only overnight drying. Andrew Main -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Keyboards key names
Dan Knight wrote: History: In the beginning was the splat/open apple/command key. It was simple. And it was good. And it was inadequate, so with the advent of the Plus (if memory serves), the option key was added to the keyboard -- along with other nice keys like Escape. Thanks to programs like SoftPC and DOS cards, Apple began marking alt on the Option key, but always in smaller type. This was to accommodate DOS/Windows users. For Mac users, the three keys beside the spacebar are Control, Option, and Command. Tho I hesitate to correct our generous host, this history is not quite correct. With reference to my extensive collection of old Mac keyboards (all mentioned are beside me as I write): The original Macintosh keyboard (128k/512k model M0110) had option and command keys to the left of the spacebar, and enter and option keys to the right. The option key has always been necessary for typing extended characters, such as accents, etc. The original command key had only the splat (I call it a cloverleaf, which it looks like, and which name has also some distant association with the fact that the symbol was borrowed from Swedish highway maps, where it represents point of interest); the hollow apple was a later addition. The Mac Plus keyboard (M0110A), which added a numerical keypad on the right, moved the enter key to the lower right corner of the latter, and removed the right option key, making room for the \ | key and arrow keys to the right of the spacebar. The now-empty space formerly occupied by the \ | key was covered by making the return key L-shaped, I dunno why: it would have made more sense to leave the \ | key where it was and leave the second option key to the right of the spacebar. Thus began the Apple tradition of irrational keyboard design. To the left of the spacebar are option and command keys, like in the previous model but larger. The first Apple Keyboard (M0116), which came with the SE and Mac II, has the \ | key and all four arrow keys to the right of the spacebar; to the left of the spacebar are (in order from the corner) caps lock, option, command (with the hollow apple added), and ` ~. Caps lock's previous position to the left of A was now occupied by a control key, whose function was rather a mystery as very few Mac apps (nor the System) made any use of this DOS key. Also added was the esc key - another DOS import that initially had little or no use on the Mac - in the upper left corner where ` ~ used to be. Next in the family was the Apple Extended Keyboard; I don't have one right at hand, so don't know exactly how it was configured, in particular if if had the alt on the option key. See the Extended Keyboard II below. The Apple Keyboard II (M0487), my all-time favorite, appeared with the Classic/LC/IIsi generation. It put caps lock back in the spot to the left of A, so the keys to the left of the spacebar are control, option and command. It also switched the ` ~ and esc, the former back in the upper left, the latter to the right of the spacebar, followed by the four arrow keys. Next came the unlamented Apple Design Keyboard (M2980), a piece of junk IMO, both because of its shoddy construction and because of its design. This was in the era of the rabbit Performas, so many Mac models nobody could keep them straight. Also the time when Apple seemed to be responding to the perennial complaints about Macs being more expensive than PCs (why is it nobody complains about Mercedes being more expensive than Ford?) by giving the people what they seemed to want, e.g. a crummy cheap PC-style keyboard with all those extra keys (function, home, page-up, etc.) that most Mac users don't need. Apple already offered the Extended Keyboard for those who did need the extra keys, but now the excellent Keyboard II was discontinued, and every Mac buyer was given the same huge keyboard whether we wanted it or not. I believe this was also the first standard Mac keyboard that had the little alt on the upper left corner of the option key; at the time I assumed it was, like the Design Keyboard as a whole, an effort to make Windoze users feel at home on their new Macs, since alt has never had any meaning in the Mac environment. The Extended Keyboard II (M3501), like the original Extended, has the PC-standard row of function keys at the top, with the esc key at its left end, and another palette with the arrow keys and home, page up, etc. keys. The main keyboard section has control, option and command to the left of the spacebar, and command, option and control to the right. The tiny alt appears in the upper left corner of the option key. The Apple USB Keyboard (M2452), aka iMac keyboard, is essentially a reprise of the Keyboard II, a compact keyboard that has everything most Mac users need. By now the key layout has pretty well stabilized, with control, option and command keys to the left of the spacebar, and command and arrow keys to the
Re: wiping hard drive clean
There was just a issue raised on the local TV station last week about this very topic, concerning Government HD's that were going to surplus sales and the safety of information that was previously on the drives. The conclusion of the story was that in order to be completely safe, the drive has to be destroyed physically and that no program will give you complete security from someone that really wants your information. A drive recovery company or the Fed's, can get your info if they want it no matter what program you run to erase the drive, so I guess it is a matter of how worried (paranoid, works too) about your data, as to what you need to do. Obviously, if you need to send the drive back for replacement, you will have to do the best you can with the programs that are out there and probably be completely safe!

Catalog B Tree 3 error on CD-RW

Is there a way that I can get Toast to recognize my drive (it searches on the system bus, but alas, it cannot find it)? I tried burning CDs using Apple's built in capabilities with Jaguar (10.2.2). It will go all the way to the last process called Verifying Disc and it tells me there is an unexpected error and will quit. When I use the Disk Utiity, and verify, it tells me there is a Catalog B Tree 3 error. What the heck does this mean? Anyone that can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Try plugging the drive directly to a usb port, instead of through a hub, and try a different brand of CDR. I had that happen to me a couple of times with mine. Also, it really didn't like other USB devices being used on the same port...which may be why plugging it right into the card worked, my hub has a couple of other things plugged into it. -- Wherever you go, there you are.

The Powerbook has a larger screen, an 867 MHz G4 instead of a G3, and allows an attached monitor to span your desktop instead of just mirror the screen. It comes with twice the memory and faster video. and a third again larger hard drive (40gb vs 30), and gigabit ethernet vs 10/100 in the iBook. The iBook is cheaper, sturdier,(imo, this is just from handling some of each), slightly lighter, and nearly as fast. (though the Altivec in the G4 does speed up OSX somewhat, and certainly will make a difference in apps that use it, like iTunes and Photoshop) The iBook has all of it's connections off the side of the system, instead of in back. This is both good and bad...it's a big pain if youre connected to a bunch of stuff, when the space where you put books and papers is taken up by cables, but it's more of a hassle to get at them in the Powerbook. Since I'd personally consider the 14 iBook, that would narrow the gap considerably, and make it a much harder choice. -- Wherever you go, there you are.

The air doesn't get hot enough to cause any harm. Circuit boards are soldered in ovens that get hot enough to melt solder, and semiconductor die safely withstand these temperatures, provided they are of short duration. Can you imagine what those temperatures would do to your hair? Semiconductors are rated for continuous operation at die temperatures over 100 C, the boiling point of water. You won't be able to get these temperatures out of a hair dryer. Be careful with industrial hot air guns, some of them get hot enough to melt solder, indeed they are useful for removing surface mount chips. If you want to dry the board quickly, bring to just over 100C (212F) with an industrial hot air gun. For the cognoscenti only! You will be guaranteed to have no liquid water on it. If you get it too hot you can start melting solder, which you don't want to do. and there's an added risk, too. the air flowing out of many blow dryers may have a slight electric charge. some chips are not tolerant of static electricity. strike that. MOST chips are not tolerant of static electricity. Static damage only occurs when a static charge sparks to a component lead and causes a breakdown of an insulator, say an oxide gate on a CMOS transistor. Blowing hot air on a board is simply not going to this, unless you are using a hair dryer connected to a telsa coil that throws out sparks to your board. The typical cause of static damage is a human walking across a carpet and drawing a spark from a component lead to their finger. If you are holding the board in your hand with skin contact to the circuitry as you dry it with a hair dryer there is no possibility that a charge can build up in the board relative to your body. why do you think most service techs ground themselves thoroughly before handling electronics components? A good practice indeed, unless of course the board is charged and the tech is not. Remember, it is the relative difference in charge that causes the spark, not the absolute charge. When transferring boards from person to person, touch the other person skin to skin before touching the board. If two people walked across the carpet in a heated room on a dry winter day and are charged to the max, they can still safely pass a board to each other provided they are both at the same charge, which is first established by skin to skin contact.

Re: wiping hard drive clean
On Saturday, November 23, 2002, at 02:30 PM, Obi-Wan wrote: There was just a issue raised on the local TV station last week about this very topic, concerning Government HD's that were going to surplus sales and the safety of information that was previously on the drives. The conclusion of the story was that in order to be completely safe, the drive has to be destroyed physically and that no program will give you complete security from someone that really wants your information. Well put Tom. You poor deluded souls... The drives are not physically destroyed because there is no other way to effectively clear the data. The drives are destroyed because you don't need a certified technical guru to verify the data's destruction. A clerk can do it reliably. If I'm tasked to wipe 1000 drives of sensitive data and I lose track somewhere in the middle of the process, some critical or sensitive data might be overlooked. There is a much smaller chance of my not getting the job done if all I've got to do is make sure 1000 drives go into a shredder. Then I can verify by making sure the bin is empty. If I don't see any whole drives there, I (and anybody who wants to verify my work) can see that the job has been accomplished. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.

Re: Catalog B Tree 3 error on CD-RW
I've had two friends with the same drive and the same problem with Toast. One downloaded Hotburn from Iomega's site and it worked. The other had her CDRW replaced by Iomega as defective. Gary John Fox wrote: Hi Listers: I recently bought an Iomega Zip CD 650 4x4x6 drive from TigerDirect.com and I have been in heaven ever since ripping copies of my mp3s. However, the software (Toast 4) that came bundled with it is for OS 9 and can be run in Classic. The problem is that I won't recognize my CD-RW drive so I can't do any burning except for mp3s in iTunes. Is there a way that I can get Toast to recognize my drive (it searches on the system bus, but alas, it cannot find it)? I tried burning CDs using Apple's built in capabilities with Jaguar (10.2.2). It will go all the way to the last process called Verifying Disc and it tells me there is an unexpected error and will quit. When I use the Disk Utiity, and verify, it tells me there is a Catalog B Tree 3 error. What the heck does this mean? Anyone that can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Installing OS X 10.2 on Wallstreet Help!
I am trying to install 10.2 on my Wallstreet II 233mhz, 512, 320mb ram OS 9.1 20 GB Drive Partitioned with an open partition within the first 8 GB. When I start-up with the install in my cd drive a cople of things happen. Sometimes when the screen is about to go to the spinning disc under the apple, the screen gets a bunch of horizontal lines and everything grinds to halt. sometimes it will get to the blue install screen. The installer window opens and then the installer fails with an unexpected error and asks me to reboot. any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I have worn out my fingers looking for some kind of answer. tia sean weijand -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

G4 Titaniium sighting
On the first page of the Weekend Journal in the Friday edition of the Wall Street journal, 11/22/02, there was a photograph of 3 people seated on a sofa watching a movie on, I believe, a G Titanium PB. (I am not that familiar with Windows laptops that might look similiar.) It is an illustration for an article on MovieLink, a company that allows you to download movies to your Computer for a price. In the article, the Author of the piece, Tom King, says that the software will not work on a Mac. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Installing OS X 10.2 on Wallstreet Help!
Dear Sean, I personally feel that the best way to go is to reformat your HD if you have a viable way to back up your information. Then repartition with the Disk Utility within the Installer (only accessible from the Welcome screen before you start the installation process). I too have a Wallstreet (250mhz, 1MB, 256MB RAM, etc.) and had an initial difficult time installing an operating the OS. My solution was to backup my data, reformat/repartition my HD and build from scratch my apps. Luckily I had downloaded a copy of the 10.2.2 fix that solved my modem's previous unresponsiveness. I could tell you horror stories... Anyway, so to make this short I'd be happy to assist you further as I have other listers. I also have a treasure trove of OS 9/Aqua/Jaguar apps which I'd be happy to share a copy with you, if you'd like. Cheers! - John On Saturday, November 23, 2002, at 09:34 PM, S.D.
