WallStreet fan on when asleep in OSX
Hi folks, sorry to ask something that has undoubtedly been covered already, but here goes.. I have a WallStreet 266 which used to run all the time on OS 9.2, but I have increasingly been using OS 10.1.4. When I put it to sleep while in OSX, I hear a cooling fan (I think) start to run when the computer is disconected from the mains supply. This stops once it's reconnected, even though the computer is still asleep. I reckon that the unnecessary fan activity increases battery drain while asleep (plus, it annoys me). Any solutions?

Re: G4 to G4 Megahertz comparison
Simplified: HD speed and access improve speed (RAID, SCSI, SATA RAID) Amount of RAM (more you have the more the OS can use as cache instead of using the slower hard drive) CPU Speed system Bus Speed Amount of cache memory on CPU (for intensive tasks, cache stores commands) This goes for PC's and Macs.

Seems a stupid law, to prohibit people from getting insurance on something like that. Actually what you said is exactly the reason. In FL, extended warranties are treated as if they are insurance. The state requires insurance issuers to be licensed, etc. So no extended warranties in FL. Other states don't consider them insurance and so everybody and his brother sells them. I'm not so sure what FL is doing is so bad, in general these things are a scam although AppleCare is a good deal compared to the cost of a repair and the actual chance of something going wrong compared to most of these warranties.

Re: Applecare in Florida
On 4/20/04 9:04 AM, Wayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: I want to purchase Applecare for my 700 mhz Ibook. It is my understanding you have up to 1 year from purchase to get this, am I correct? Do you have to go back to the original seller (in this case, Powermax, new factory sealed unit). You can buy it from any retailer, or directly from Apple. I also heard about the extended warranty was not available in Florida due to laws we have here. Does anyone know how this all works in Florida? Up until a few weeks ago I was the manager of an Apple Service provider in the Tampa area. What you are saying is true. You can not (as an individual) buy Applecare in the state of Florida. If you have a business license with a separate tax ID # then you can. What it comes down to is that the gullible (or senile) elderly population in Florida have been marketed to death with offers from insurance companies (many of them scams) and they lobbied to have these types of insurances boycotted. Some companies have found legal loopholes in the system, like CompUSA for example, and they offer their extended warranties, but Apple is not willing to jump through millions of hoops to comply with the pathetic laws of a small and insignificant state like Florida (Quoted from an APP Service Manager in Austin Texas). I find it ridiculous that even if you go looking for Applecare and beg them for it they will not sell it to you if you are not a business in Florida. Go figure. Kyle H.

Auto adapter for 3400 on a Pismo??
I have a new-to-me Pismo 400 mhz that is replacing a PB 3400. The added battery life is nice on the Pismo but there are still times an auto adapter on a long car trip would be better. I have a Lind Auto Adapter that works fine on my 3400. The part that plugs into the PowerBook seems to fit the Pismo, although not nearly as snugly as the yo-yo adapter plug. I guess the main issue is the output of the Auto Adpater to the PB. It is listed as out put of 24V and 2A (it is hard to read clearly but the yo-yo adapter looks like it is an output of 24V and 1.875A. So I guess it is an issue of the extra 0.125A). the model is APA-24-SP. I don't want to fry my Pismo either short term or long term, so any help on this would be appreciated.

I have a WallStreet 266 which used to run all the time on OS 9.2, but I have increasingly been using OS 10.1.4. When I put it to sleep while in OSX, I hear a cooling fan (I think) start to run when the computer is disconected from the mains supply. This stops once it's reconnected, even though the computer is still asleep. I reckon that the unnecessary fan activity increases battery drain while asleep (plus, it annoys me). Any solutions?

Re: WallStreet fan on when asleep in OSX
Hi Jack, Have you tried version tracker? What is the key word(s) for this SW you mention? Is it maybe a Classic app? OS X can do funny things (this morning my 9500 booted into Darwin; I know text mode, but this isn't it). I would try my PDQ with OS X; my research so far shows mixed results. Why only 10.1.5? Jaguar is a more mature OS X.; 10.2.8 is a better choice for unsupported Macs than 10.3 AFAIK. George --- Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm not sure it is the FAN. I have same problem.

: G4 to G4 Megahertz comparison (was Re: New Powerbooks announced / I bought my first Mac today)
Doubling a processor speed usually does not result in doubling the computer speed because the rest of the computer does not keep up proportionately. With a powerbook, it helps to have a faster drive because of the slowness of the laptop drives in general. From what I have read, the G4s are still going strong, and they should ramp up over 2Gs later on. Motorola announced some super-low-power versions of the G4 a couple of months ago. I was wondering what was the power consumption of these new laptops--or if we must wait longer for the new chips. -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Hi Laurent, I have a Linksys (wired) and when I tried to install it I did have some problems, I called Linksys and they assisted me all the way through the process of installation, the guy stayed on the phone and guided me step by step. So it may be a case of how the worker operates or it could be that I'm a lucky guy. Linksys doesn't write drivers for Mac OS. If the USB dongle requires drivers (it must, I don't believe there are drivers for these things built into the Mac OS), it won't work with your Mac.

Without data, the processor gets bored and racks up idle time. Next is the L1, L2, and L3 memory caches. They're very fast (expensive!) blocks of memory that hold copies of the most recently accessed main memory, in the hopes of being able to ultra-quickly refeed it to the processor when/if it's called for again. Their speed is so critical that L1 has been moved onto the processor chip itself. In some cases, L2 also! Next is the main memory bus, the memory controller, and the DIMMs. The closer the bus' speed is to the processor's speed, the more efficient. Gotta feed the caches as fast as possible! Many magnitudes slower are the peripheral buses (PCI, PCI-X, AGP) and the i/o controllers that plug into them, eg: IDE, SATA, SCSI, FC, Ether, etc. And magnitues slower still are the peripherals themselves - hard drives, monitors, etc. At 06:58 PM -0400 04/19/2004, Timothy J.
