Re: Lombard, Firewire PCMCIA card, and iPod
I know about the PCMCIA power thing, and I've tried the reset, and then menu play, but what comes up on the iPod is ok to disconnect. Larry From: Krevnik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Lombard, Firewire PCMCIA card, and iPod Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2003 09:49:11 -0800 Just plugging the iPod in does not work with most PCMCIA cards, because most cannot provide power over the port. You can attempt to use it with a FW card that can provide power through a power brick, or you can do the following: Plug the iPod in, press the Menu Play buttons and hold until the iPod resets. Right when it resets, press the Next Prev buttons and hold until 'Do not disconnect' appears. This puts the iPod into Firewire Disk Mode and should then make it appear on the desktop. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3/Trust in Apple
fix a machine?. Yes 2 times I paid for the 1st pismo $345.00/ Just to run JAG OS 9 ran fine. It was here I discovered the beast under the candy. The one under Apple Care for 3 more months they claimed something was spilled in the pismo *sometime* in the last 6 months. Ya right.. Found out from ex apple care workers this is a standard response. They broke my power cord and killed my battery. Apple's Ms. Wells, the top manager of Apple care, has an office next to steve, denied ever touching those parts funny they had Apple bar codes and writing on the battery and power cord. They lie. The company is changing and if you look to the future in 5 years are we still going to be typing on silly machine that takes more work to read the manuals to make it work at it's MAX productivity. I think not. Their going to bleed us while they can. Apple has changed and some very loyal customers are not happy. Check the boards Geoff Right ... troll. David Troll ?.

I very much doubt that Micro$oft will strive towards making the VPC engine a true PC hardware emulator when it is so easy for them to weave a whole bunch of Windoze code, thus making Windoze on a Mac faster (maybe) while ensuring that no other OS can install as the OS installer will not see a standard PC...

G4 AiBook External Monitor settings
I'm having an annoying problem when running an external monitor off my 12 PB. The monitor is a 19 Iiyama, and I like to run it at 1280 x 1024, 75 hz, and also make it the primary display. And once this is set up, it all works fine. However, most of the time the PB isn't connected to the external monitor, it's just occasionally that I connect it. What's annoying is that sometimes when I connect it the system remembers how I want it all set up and just switches the displays (both of them) to the way I want it. But on other occasions when I connect the monitor I get mirrored displays with both of them set to 800 x 600. Does anyone know why I should be experiencing this variable behaviour? Tom Burke PS I'm running 10.2.8, and it's a Mk 1 12 PB, so it's using the analogue video out port and the 'video to VGA' connector supplied with the PB.

Re: G3/Trust in Apple
Look, people do have problems with Apple products, I do have problems with Apple products. They have made crappy software as well as great software, look at the past versions of iCal ... wow ... crap. But honestly the things you say and the way you say em you sound like a troll. A person just trying to get people arguing. I used to argue these battles, a lot. But I have stopped and I have started just branding them what they are trolls - attempts to start fights as I see em. It has to do with how harshly you condemn the platform. I have had issues but I am satisfied for the most part with how they have been resolved. So I keep buying Apple. You sound like you are convinced that Apple is all bad, was good, now bad, yet you profess being such a Mac user. This has become more prevalent since Mac OS X, you are right there. Fact is there has never been an OS change like this. Mac OS only really has three versions. System 6 [1-6.x], System 7 [7-9.2.2], and Mac OS X. And Mac OS X is not only a new OS like System 7 was to 6, its a completely new platform. I have been an Apple user since 1983 or so. I have Macs, I have NeXT hardware, I have Newtons, I have Linux PCs [one even has Windows on it too]. I am proud to associate myself with Apple because of the higher standard they seek. They are far from faultless ... An example of poor things they have done - iPods, why are 1st and 2nd generation not software upgradable to the new features like smart playlists. I have access to their tech databases, there is no technical reason not to. That is poor.

iBook or battery?
Still wrestling with a troublesome graphite iBook SE (graphite) and battery, OS X (the 10.2.8 rebuild) and/or System 9. Here's the problem: After charging the battery for about 10 minutes (adding about 1-3 percentage points of additional charge), the laptop's power-ring turns from orange to green and it won't charge any more -- unless I remove the battery and reinsert it. Then, the process begins again, and I get another few percentage points of power, but that's all. I have tried what I believe to be all the standard remedies in various combinations: Power Manager Reset, zapping PRAM (Command-Option-P-R as well as Tech Tool), System 9 and OS X (the rebuild of 10.2.8), the Open Firmware commands RESET-NVRAM and RESET-ALL, Battery Amnesia software (under System 9) And yet the problem persists: Just a few percentage points of additional juice per recharge-after-battery-removal-and-reinsertion. Seems as if the battery itself is fine; it's less than a year old, and -- once I get it recharged using this clunky method -- it runs the computer just fine, for a long period of time. Theories or suggestions, anyone? Is it the iBook or the battery? Thanks. CM -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: VPC Micro$oft
If you had as much experience of small companies and products like this you would know not to trust statements like that! I have been in the Mac-on-PC emulation scene for a very long time, so long in fact that I have given up waiting. There were two companies that seriously promised PPC emulation when I moved back home to Sweden 3.5 years ago, and still nothing. Such cynicism! What did they do to you to make you so jaded? Over the years, people have doubted that company frequently. BLPE was presumed to be vaporware for a _very_ long time, but the company delivered. Heck, even today people think they've died, but they're still around. How about a little optimism on this list for a change. Sometimes the small companies really are diamonds in the rough. Mac-on-PC emulation: Is that really relevant here, anyway? Were talking PC-on-Mac emulation, not the reverse. Besides, the market for Mac OS emulation on a PC has got to be pretty small (how many PC users genuinely want to run the Mac OS in emulation, and how many of them _need_ to). The major reason for doing it on a Mac is to get access to software that isn't available for Mac OS (like MS Access or the like). There isn't a whole lot of big-name software on the Mac that doesn't have a PC version... Anyway, the point was that your quote was out-of-context. It seems pretty clear to me that the company's _intent_ IS to produce an OS X compatible version of BLPE. And it seems to me that emulating a PC is harder than compiling code that will run is OS X... So if they could do the former, the latter certainly should be possible for them.

With the rumor that within a few years INTEL will have a cross platform CPU it may mean the potential end for Apple.

One of the main things going for the Mac is its reliability, as IBM compatible PC's breakdown all to frequently.

And for the Apple should lower their prices argument (sorry, I don't have a snippet for that), I have a few things to say. While Apple's prices are quite a bit more expensive than PCs, they more than make up this price with the quality of machine you are getting.

Prob with sound on pb 12
I have a first gen pb12 that has an intermittent problem. Every once in a while I get constant popping noises. Listening closer, I can hear noise, then the pop, noise, then the pop, and so on, so I figure it must have something to do with the energy saving feature that turns the sound off when its not being used. It seems to, at least sometimes, affect sound playback if I open iTunes or something, but I haven't always tried. I don't know why it eventually goes away. My question is whether there is any chance this could be a software problem. I'm not crazy about reinstalling just to find out, and also I'm worried if I send it to apple, they won't find a problem, as it is intermittent. Any ideas?
