Re: Meritline External Enclosure Help-Question
said: snip snip The tech' comment was that since my other USB devices (Adesso keyboard and printer) were operating, the driver for the external unit was present and the unit's connecting cord or chip were bad.

I found out that if I try using the thinner one it would not be recognized.: I tried it both ways, and then at the tech's suggestion plugged both cables into the two USB ports on the iBook.

OT: Re: My video
This subject is getting rather removed from the topic of G-Books. Nevertheless, I'll risk aggravating a nanny by suggesting that for the purposes Willi proposes, a simple DVD Recorder may be the best option. They're rather inexpensive now--under $275. But watch out, because no matter what you do, you may find that macrovision copy protection limits the quality with which you can save your commercial VHS library. With this device (link below, the LVW-5001), you might be able to evade copy protection by recording off an RF signal, since this model does have a TV tuner. I own one and am extremely pleased with it, but I've not tried recording any commercial films. It does real-time burning, is real DVD, not inferior VCD quality, does not require a computer, and this model even has a firewire IN port, for connecting a digital camcorder.

Re: OS X tossing prefs ?
Hi Folks, I don't know if it is relevant but I've experienced loss of OS X preferences for Mail periodically. It occurs mainly when I'm using a number of applications but particularly Safari and Mail which seem to be memory hungry and when I've only (!!) had around 500MB free disk space on the system partition. Presumably the number of swap files (each is about 76MB) in /var/vm keeps increasing to use up all disk space on the system partition and then Mail cannot save back preferences properly. Perhaps this happens also for other application preferences. I'm currently running OS X 10.2.6 on a Pismo/400Mhz/512MB/40GB with 5 partitions: 12GB main partition with OSX/OS9; 6GB partition with previous OSX version; 2 8GB partitions for data and a 3GB partition for temporary stuff (now stuffed with music files!). It would be nice if (like real Unix systems 8-) ) that the virtual memory swap files could be put in a separate partition (at least from the system files) which would then not cause this problem. Of course one is RAM limited by the disk space on the swap partition but that is how it should be. I wonder if anybody has tried this. Adios Harry. PS. Digression ... I used to run a fleet of IBM RT PC's while postdocing in Sweden in the late 80's and most of them only had a 75MB hard disk in addition to having only a 5 1/4 disk drive for installing system files etc. I was kind of proud to be able to pare back the system (e.g. AIX 1.x, AIX 2.x, AIX 3.1) enough that of 75MB there was 25-30MB for user files and one still had two different Fortran compilers, two editors (emacs, vi), a TeX system, a graphics package, and the base Unix system (with c compiler). However, the step up to X-windows was the big one, and though could be squeezed into 75MB, the advent of a 315MB disk made things much more comfortable ... and to think I now have 2x256MB=512MB RAM (a pity the 512MB modules were a bit pricey two years ago ... Oz aint as cheap as the USA for many computer things!).

So far, I've put about 20 GB on it Actually not a good argument for not using them, just one for good planning. Some of the benefits of using partitions are to keep similar files on the same partition (e.g. user versus system files) and (if properly implemented) to reduce the chances of overflowing the system disk (e.g. with large user video files). It doesn't stop the problem of filling up the disk with swap files under OS X because /var/vm is presumably expected to be on the system disk (which is pretty silly!). Backup/maitenance of the user/system area is much simpler and one can even have separate partitions for separate systems. I keep two versions of the OS X system around (25 years of computer programming have made me just a little cautious!). There are many e-tomes around that debate the pros/cons of partitioning ... in my case it is partly a filing/maintenance function (seems neater!). If I had multiple disks (less likely on a Pismo but possible in principle) one could delegate swap space to the other disk (if OS X would allow it) and perhaps gain speed (but debatable since RAID might be a better option). In my case 5 partitions is just enough for my use (it also makes take stock of disk usage before I really fill things up! I feel while one can get by unpartitioned (1 partition) that at the very least 2 partitions are much better (system+user space) and 3 partitions even better ( system+user+swap space). My paranoid behaviour accounts for an extra partition for having a previous system around (in case current OS X is trashed or for comparison purposes) and I also have an extra user space for (Unix type) programming oriented files versus the user space for (Mac type) data files. I do know that if I used just one partition I would be less careful with space and in backing up ... I can use all space, time that is allocated to me ... hence one of my stints as a supercomputer jock. I'm very happy to have my own UNIX system with complete control over it! Of course as per usual ... your mileage may vary! Adios Harry. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
