 I don't know about the Pismo specifically, but Apple's DVD player
 will let you change the region up to 5 times but you're stuck with
 whatever region was last set. So this really isn't an optimal
 solution for you. The PAL vs NTSC thing isn't an issue with computer
 playback.


My suggestion would be that, since you have both a home player and the
Pismo, set the Pismo to play region 2 DVDs and use the home player for your
US, region 1 encoded discs. This should work well. :-) At some point in
time, we will be getting a home player, and when we do, I will use my Pismo
for those rare US DVDs we expect to get someday. :-)

 Hey,

 I called Dell's 1-800 number on their web site, went through about 4

 are brain dead, I have spent about 6-8 hours on the phone and hold
 with them over the course of 2 1/2 weeks.

Oh David, but it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who is amazed 
that Dell is still in business despite their horrendous salesmanship 
and customer service.  I think the Dell Dude, Steve, is possibly 
the brightest bulb in their string of lights.  Back in November, I had 
an experience that made me resolve never to do business with Dell.  In 
the end I wrote a letter to the Dell salesperson covering my company.  
Listreaders here who have had mediocre experiences with Apple may find 
themselves happier, given such alternatives.

I wrote to Dell, cc'ing their webmaster, their customer support 
address, and my own company's purchasing department:

 Dear [],

 I must say, this is one of the worst shopping and customer support
 experiences I've ever had.  This whole thing makes me want to never
 again deal with Dell, ever.

 I had a simple question.
 I wanted to know if expansion bay drives exist for the Inspiron 4000.
 If so, what is the part number.
 I could not find the answer on your web site. (It's virtually
 impossible to navigate)
 I telephoned the Dell 800 number and suffered through an annoyingly
 long menuing system.
 Eventually I was connected to your voicemail, where I learned your
 email address.
 I emailed you with my question.
 You did not answer my question, and instead sent me a link.
 And a phone number for someone else.
 The link was to a Dell web page, to submit questions.
 I submitted.
 The reply came today, from [].
 It did not answer my question, really, either.
 Instead there was an attachment: purchase order instructions and a link
 to a quote.
 That linked quote gives practically no description of the item.
 Am I supposed to buy something on the basis of a 9 word purchase order
 entry?
 I tried searching your website for what I assume is the part number
 (05MXK).
 No luck.
 I'm ready to call it quits.

 This is incredibly poor salesmanship, incredibly poor support, poor
 customer service, and a very poor website.

 If at some time you would like to try to sell the item, I suggest that
 you (1) make it easy to find; (2) offer a description and
 specifications; (3) Make technical specifications easy to locate on
 your website; (4) don't make people sift through multi-tiered menues on
 your telephone line; (5) Reply to simple questions with simple answers,
 not links to websites that require further client information,
 registrations, etc.

It should surprise no one that the Dell response to this letter offered 
no further information to my question, and that I was subsequently hit 
with automated followup emails from the Dell support system asking 
for feedback on how well my question was answered--a www link, and 
asking an array of unrelated, unimportant other survey questions.

Completely laughable.

I continue to highly recommend AppleCare.

Setting up my system for OS X

2003-01-05 Thread Larrie Easterly

I am new to the forum so please forgive me if this has been covered before.

I am running a PowerBook Lombard and have OS X sitting in a box on the floor
waiting to be installed. I am trying to decide on the best way to set up my
system to use OS X. There are three possibilities.

1. Add OS X to the existing hard drive and leave OS 9.2 on it.

2. Partition the existing drive and use one volume for each OS.

3. Use my external hard drive for all of my OS 9.2 stuff and all of my data
files and put the OS X system and all of it s applications on the internal
dirve. 

So the question is, which of the above solutions is the better way to go?

Thanks for your help.

First off, I hope it's OSX 10.2x. The prior OSX versions left a few 
things to be desired, but most of those issues were addressed in Jag 
(10.2.x and later.) The Lombard, while a worthy and capable portable 
Mac was the last *not* specifically designed to run OSX. That being 
said, any flavor of X has its points that make it worthwhile over the 
Classic OSes.; most notably, the lack of crashes under heinous 
circumstances.



 1. Add OS X to the existing hard drive and leave OS 9.2 on it.

 2. Partition the existing drive and use one volume for each OS.

Each has its pros and cons for your configuration. In a nutshell, 
partitioning reduces security if you have both on different partitions, 
but increases serviceability, but you might benefit from it depending 
on what you do with your 'book, or you might not. Either is okay on a 
Lombard.



 3. Use my external hard drive for all of my OS 9.2 stuff and all of my 
 data
 files and put the OS X system and all of it s applications on the 
 internal
 dirve.

Well, there ya go. That's easy and simple right there. Leave your OS9 
stuff on that drive.


 So the question is, which of the above solutions is the better way to 
 go?

depends. Sounds like you don't specifically use your Mac for 
specifically designed tasks, but rather general uses, so installing ( 
on the same partition) is definitely simpler.

Item  Name -- Price   Quantity

HD227FW- Aluminum 2.5-inch Firewire 1394 Hard Drive Enclosure Case 
- $28 - 1
HD337FW- Aluminum 3.5-inch Firewire External Hard Drive Enclosure 
- $40 - 1


I installed a 12GB IBM drive in the 2.5 case, transfer speeds with that 
old(er) drive were around 15MB/s. The 3.5 case uses what appears to be 
the same chipset, so I'd expect speeds at least as fast as that and 
probably better if you've got a zippy drive. The case isn't really made 
of aluminium, but rather of plastic skinned with a layer of Al sheeting. 
I didn't look _really_ closely, but I don't think the outer metal is at 
all in contact with the drive itself, so I doubt the drive will get 
adequate cooling. The 2.5 case will be fine, as portable drives don't 
produce nearly as much heat as do desktop drives (esp. 7200rpm 
mechanisms.).

Please note that _heat_ is the number-one killer of HDs, so for long life 
and reliability you really should use a well cooled case. I'm pretty 
skeptical how well this jobbie is gonna work, and I'll certainly not use 
it for any mission-critical chores.

!wise-ass-remark Truly, the only real bright side to a fanless-case is 
that since new drives are mostly warranted these days for only one year, 
your odds are greatly enhanced of being able to collect _before_ the 
warranty expires. /!wise-ass-remark

What kind of password protection do you have in mind? If you disable
autologin, then every time you restart, or log off, you need to login again.
Then, you can go to the 'Screen Effects' preference pane and, in the
'Activation' tab, you can enable 'Use my user account password' when waking
the screen effect.

Finally, if you have a Pismo, you can use a recently released utility by
Apple which will put a password in Open Firmware. Without that password, you
won't be able to boot from a CD or another partition.

Password protection left back in 9.1, I think. In Jag you use 
Accounts and you, as the owner, set wether you want a password on 
each startup or not. The caveat is that if you partition a OS9 boot 
partition, while seemingly offering better protection, actually makes 
you more vulnerable to workarounds.

For now, it seems like you'd get okay protection from using the 
Accounts prefs and  demanding a password.

OS 9 or earlier, not in OS X, though. You can find the battery pretty easily
in a BW, on the motherboard, not very far from the end of the PCI slots, if
I recall correctly.

Re: Assorted recent problems with Pismo 9.2.2

 Perplexed,

Honestly, me too. Your problem is weird. I wonder if it's IceTee that is
causing your problems... Have you replaced it? Have you tried trashing all
the prefs and extensions for these items, and reinstalling them? I'm betting
that something is clashing between Internet Config and the built-in internet
control panel, but it's hard to say what. You seem to have tried changing a
few too many things at one time--judging by your email--not that you did,
but that's how it sounds. :-) I'm running IceTee on my Pismo with 9.2.2, and
it seems to be working just fine. Not many apps I use anymore are compatible
with it (I think only SimpleText) but since SimpleText does need it, and it
is used for readme files, IceTee is almost indispensable. :-)

In your case, I would try to purge Internet Config and IceTee complely from
my system, and reset all my internet preferences from the Internet control
panel, and then reinstall a clean copy of IceTee, and see if that works. If
that doesn't work, I wonder if your copy of iCab is corrupted.

 Did you make sure that Windows sharing is turned on in the Sharing
 preference pane? Also, on a Windows machine, you have to look up in the
 Network Neighborhood for a workgroup named 'Workgroup'. I believe that this
 is a missing feature in the Windows sharing: you can't name the workgroup
 that your Mac will broadcast itself on the Windows network. By default, the
 workgroup is named 'Workgroup'.
