First off, as a new Mac owner, remember NEVER to say anything negative about your Apple equipment. If something isn't working right, it is either your fault for using it incorrectly, if not abusing it, or it's the fault of the third party manufacturer who is sabotaging Apple's reputation. Now, to your specific questions: - I'd recommend, sooner or later, getting a replacement Combo drive for your flaky DVD; check xlr8yourmac.com under the Drive Compatibility database for feedback on specific models that work well with the Lombard; personally, I can recommend the Samsung SN-324B, which is a great little 24x10x24x8x combo unit that is Apple compatible and slides nicely into the expansion bay to replace the DVD - re. RAM, check how it's configured; probably 64 + 64MB, so you'd lose one of the banks in upgrading; I can recommend Other World Computing, macsales.com, for a compatible 256MB module with lifetime warranty; priced around $65, IIRC. - 9.2 is great for the Lombard - the VST Superdisk is a nice option, apparently it also works in OS X; I've seen them on ebay for $50, though you might find a refurb one at smartdisk.com for a lot less; they were on sale 50% off a while back, though they may be out of stock. - rubber feet and IR port are just cosmetic problems, I wouldn't go after a full bottom case just to fix those (though naturally it depends on the bidding); you can always get rubber feet, in different heights, from hardware stores and they work great.

Cheap 802.11b (AirPort compatible) hub
Checking on 802.11g stuff from Belkin -- top rated in the recent Macworld for throughput, btw -- I found a link for refurbished hardware available directly from Belkin. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?Section_Id=1982 Choose Network. Item is Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway Router F5D6230rw3 Would you believe an 802.11b (AirPort compatible) switched router for $50 plus $7.50 shipping? I've been having problems with my Hawking router, ordered the Belkin, and set it up yesterday. It's nice to have AirPort, even nicer to have what may be a more reliable router. The router supports cable modems and DSL. It has one WAN port plus three switched 10/100 ports -- one goes to my 10Base-T network and the other to my switch for 100Base-T machines. If you're looking for a low cost router at all, this is a steal. If you'd like low cost support for AirPort, this is a steal. If all you need is a 3 port 10/100 ethernet switch, it's a bit much. But to get all of that in one package for $30 is impressive. No, it doesn't support the higher speed of AirPort Extreme. Yes, 3 ports aren't a lot -- but you can daisy chain hubs and switches if/when you need more ports. Someday I'm sure I'll go 802.11g (AirPort Extreme), but 802.11b is faster than my Internet connection, so I'm very happy with the performance and price.

Speaking Up (was Re: 12 Speed)
On 6/6/03 12:50 PM, Scott Howe posted: Ill tell you why I have a right to complain. Because I bought one of Apples products and as a consumer of a huge, profitable, powerful CAPITALIST corporation's (in your own words) product, consumers like me call the shots, not the corporations themselves. A products quality makes or breaks a company, not the companies rules and regulations concerning the ability to discuss it or not. Scott, you miss the point. Yes, you have a right to complain to Apple. Yes, you have a free speech right to complain in public. What you do *not* have is the right to post anything you want to Apple's boards. Different venues have different rules. Our email lists are not moderated, nor do we remove messages from the archives (truth be told, we couldn't if we wanted to). However, we do restrict posting to members of the list, and we sometimes have to ban people for breaking the rules. If you want to complain about your 12 'Book here or on your own space, there's not a thing Apple can do to stop it. But if you violate their terms of service on their boards, expect them to pull your comments and threaten to block you. If you want to get Apple to act, follow their rules in their forums, make your case clearly (that includes checking spelling, grammar, and punctuation -- do you have a thing against apostrophes?), and give them a chance to respond reasonably. Flaming, trolling, attacking the company -- these will get you nowhere. Instead, position yourself as working in Apple's best interest by pushing them to resolve an issue that has given them a black eye. You attract more flies with honey than with vinegar. And the same definitely applies here.

Apple Authorized Reseller/Apple Specialist Question
Hello listers, I'm sorry for the cross-posting but figuring the diverse amount of experience on the two lists I'm sending this to I should get some more accurate information. I was going to purchase a laptop direct from Apple, but I'm sick and tired of putting up with their antics, so now, I'm forgetting about an education discount and just going with a reseller. Problem is, I can't seem to figure out how these guys' contracts with Apple work. They state you can't place an order for new equipment over the Internet with them unless you are a previous customer. So, I can't order over the Internet, which doesn't bother me one bit, but that makes me wonder - a phone order will go fine, right, if I am understanding their wording correctly?

I was going to purchase a laptop direct from Apple, but I'm sick and tired of putting up with their antics, so now, I'm forgetting about an education discount and just going with a reseller. Problem is, I can't seem to figure out how these guys' contracts with Apple work. They state you can't place an order for new equipment over the Internet with them unless you are a previous customer. So, I can't order over the Internet, which doesn't bother me one bit, but that makes me wonder - a phone order will go fine, right, if I am understanding their wording correctly? Thanks, Peter Yes, you can place a phone order with Smalldog, even if you have never ordered from them before. I would recommend them. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple Authorized Reseller/Apple Specialist Question
Both Powermax and Smalldog are good. I've bought from both. Shipping almost always seems to be faster and cheaper though from Powermax. It takes time to get anything to anywhere in Vermont. ;-) Gary Peter Graening wrote: Yes, you can place a phone order with Smalldog, even if you have never ordered from them before. I would recommend them. I was planning on PowerMax, but Small Dog seems just as good. But they're out in the woods, or so they say. Does this delay the shipping too much? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
