Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?
I used earthlink via cable for a few years and had no problems but switched to Verizon DSL last summer because the price was really great, much less than the earthlink. I have had no problems at all, highly recommend Verizon as they do have very knowledgeable Mac support people. Another thing that has been a real treat is that with earthlink I was inundated with BAD spam (you know what I mean) to the tune of 20 to 30 a day. With Verizon I get none, absolutely none.

Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?
James, I was with earthlink dial-up for 18 months until Verizon DSL became available to me 10/03...Switched and haven't regretted it...Running an imac se 400 pismo 400...both 10.3.2 w/ 1 gig ram and airport along with a gateway 333 desktop W98SE w/ a lucent wireless card in it...They all run at the same time and the dsl works flawlesslyThe only problem has been that occasionally when friends in Australia, England and Germany send stuff it never shows up..I talked to Verizon about this and they denied having blockers running...but it seems that right after I complained about the problem, it disappeared. Also, I get the Register newsletter from London daily and that was blocked for a while until I called and I haven't missed any issue since early December.

New PB user questions
Hi Listers- I'm a new to owning a Powerbook and have some questions. I recently bought a used 15, G4, 800 MHz Powerbook which has Panther installed. The seller gave me the set of system discs that came with the machine, 10.1, without the Panther upgrade discs and without documentation. The owner also had no need for OS 9 so there is no classic installed. Owning a lot of older Macs with different requiremets for installing OS 10, I need some help on the following, and anything else that I might be over-looking from lack of experience-- I also purchased a used, full install set of Panther discs (without printed documentation). Would this software have the Powerbook CP's or any components that might exist for the Powerbook? I didn't see Powerbook specific Panther installation discs at Apple. Is it necessary to partition the 60 GB drive when I install drivers for 9.2.2-to create a separate partition for each OS and relating to this question, does this machine boot in 9.2.2? The machine is beautiful and runs very fast in Panther--I am overwhelmed by it. It also seems to get very hot on the bottom--Is this normal and OK? Thanks in advance for your help. dan_A -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Panther on Pismo
I have a G3/500 w/ 12 GB hard drive and 256 MB of RAM running 9.2.2. I have a new Lacie 160 GB Firewire hard drive for backups and digital files. What should I buy to accomplish a satisfactory upgrade to OS 10.3? And how much should I budget for RAM, new hard drive and program? I just paid $187.00 for 2 sticks of 512 to get a GiG of Memory for my third pismo.. Got it from DMS, thats up a little bit from a year ago but not too bad. You will really see a difference, especially if you go to 10.3 with the ram www.DataMem.com I do not work for them or anything like that but 6 orders and no problems and fair shipping to Alaska works for me. Os 10 seems to be a little picky sometimes when it comes to RAM so wherever you buy it be sure of their sales policy, return policy, and customer install policy. I do not like buying RAM second hand unless it's one of my non critical computers. Hard drive 5400 40 gig used to be IBM but now are Hitachi $150.00 http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=6336Item=HIT08K0637 You can save 20 to 30 bucks and get a smaller drive but the 5400 speed really helps, plus I like OWCs return policy. Meaning they are pretty good about it. I have had some snags but OWC always made up for any short comings.. You can go to eBay and find some lower prices, but when we are talking small prices $180 for new RAM, on eBay probably $120 for 2 sticks. To me it's not worth the problems unless I know the seller, if the ram is bad DMS is getting it back and sending some new sticks like the next day no problem Hard drives, if your fixing this pismo to be your main machine, what me worry, no, I got the Hard Drive from OWC and their good about returns. Now if your talking about hard drives for my older books and DTs then eBay can be a very good source LEM is the absolute best for price and honest helpful folks So for $337.00 you will have a rock and rolling sleek black Pismo and when the upgrades that the rumor mills have been floating about Newer techs upgrade past 900 that Pismo may just not be out of the race yet. I think it's the best book Apple has ever made to date. So spend the bucks, get a $30.00 to $50.00 fire wire enclosure for your old hard rive. Make sure it is a powered enclosure fun and have no worries. Now if the could only get more video ram, thats the real weak spot for OS 10 Good Luck, lots of deals out there but these are two very good ones, and OWC runs this very list another good reason to buy from them.

Re: WallStreet RAM upgrade question
I was not able to get to 512 ram even with name brand ram in my Wallstreet. This was probably due (in part) to the Powerlogix upgrade card I also installed. Some readers have reported having the upgrade card and the 512 ram, while others had the same problems. As far as I know, no one really found the answer. I went back to 256 total ram and the Wallstreet was fine. Just make sure you can return the ram if for some reason it doesn't work. Typically, any reputable company allows for return/exchange.

Re: Ebay G5 query
There was a similar auction running here (US) on ebay for then the latest G4 towers. If you one (and I think everyone who bid probably was contacted by seller and given the info if you paid) you received the email instructions to get a low cost, new G4. One thing that was a red flag, they only accepted money order or checks. So if you received your email and the info was bogus, you lost your money. Be careful of things to good to be true, especially Macintosh products on ebay. I think I read that the Macintosh products (the powerbooks in particular) were the leading scam products.

Re: WallStreet RAM upgrade question
I believe the reason for one Low Profile is that a larger one won't fit on the underside of the processor card. Not enought clearance between the DIMM and the logic board. Ken It's because a full sized SO-DIMM is too long to fit. The RAM slot is too close to the edge of the daughter card, and longer RAM cards won't fit in the small space provided. So-called low profile cards are actually shorter (not thinner), and will fit in the space. Two low profile cards will work fine. There is no difference (electronically) between a low profile card and a full sized card.

Lombard Headphone Jack
I love my PowerBook, but recently I've been having problems with the headphone jack. The male end of the cord doesn't seem to make a full, snug connection. If I press on it, sometimes I'll get full sound. Otherwise it goes in and out. Any ideas? Suggestions?

loose solder on AC/Sound board
Laurent: I have the same problem on my Pismo. So how difficult is it to get to the AC/Sound board and resolder the connection? Tips, cautions, warnings? Can I get to the board thru the keyboard or would I have to crack open the Pismo case? Is that hard to do? Tricky? Easy? Thanks. I love my PowerBook, but recently I've been having problems with the headphone jack. The male end of the cord doesn't seem to make a full, snug connection. If I press on it, sometimes I'll get full sound. Otherwise it goes in and out. Any ideas? Suggestions? Preferably cheap or free, since I'm not working right now. Probably a loose solder on the AC/Sound board. It will probably get worse until you fix it. -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: loose solder on AC/Sound board
I resoldered the Power connection on my WallStreet. It was easy to do. You have to take the case apart. It was a couple of years ago and I've forgotten where the screws are. Do a Google serach, you'll likely find instructions for getting the case apart. Have you soldered before? I would not advise if for the mechanically inept, but if you have reasonable skills you should be able to handle it. Paul.
