Geoffrey, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Which every Mac head put Excellent for every category, including me, not again, they love to fly that flag. Not so fast, I'm a total Mac head and I take every chance to complain at Apples treatment of customers and repairs, within or without an Applecare program. Of course if they do good I may so so too. If I want to promote Macs, it's the OS I promote and all the apps, the community and so on. NOT Apple per se at any cost. Obviously I have a vested interest in them doing good, but I would NEVER twist the truth. If they failed me or my clients I will say so.

Inside a house, there are factors that may be hidden from you that influence the propagation and attenuation of the signal. The presence of metal in the walls (screening in the windows, wiring, wire used in stucco finishes, foil backed insulation, etc) will weaken the signal. The orientation of the antenna is a significant factor with high frequency signals at low power. If you have a clear shot from the antenna to the window (and it doesn't have metal screening) try a horizontal orientation of the antenna. Check the cupboard to see if it is full of pots and pans or some such. Run the Optimize Placement utility and see what happens as you move the antenna and change orientation.

If it's for the occasional printout, I would go to a local Kinko's or a printing place and have them printed there. I use an E size HP plotter at my office and it works out good for these types of things, but they are not cheap to purchase. Steve Fuller -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Every person I know who has dealt directly with IBM has had no problems, no headaches, no worries. Technical Support Apple has made improvements in technical support that I am sure many of you have experienced. The addition of the Apple retail stores to the already effective Apple Specialists and the direct telephone support has made Apple the clear leader in this category, scoring 79 on desktops (compared with Dell at 62 and HP at 55) and an impressive 82 on laptops (compared with Dell at 60 and Compaq at 49). Apple got high marks for solving problems the first time, expertise of the support staff, effective web-based tech support, and shorter telephone hold times. Again, where is IBM here? I have never needed to use IBM phone service, but their website is pure gold and they have tons of support info on every ThinkPad they have ever released. You can even download the SHOP MANUALS on ThinkPads and Desktops in the support area of IBM's site...Does Apple do that? Does ANYONE do that? I think not. Certainly Apple rules all in both categories. But I can't possibly think that Dell, Toshiba and HPaq would beat out IBM in any category...especially HPaq, which makes great printers still but aside from their server-class gear their computers suck.

Dropped Pismo, blank screen
Hello All, Late last night my Pismo slipped from my grasp onto my hardwood floor. Landed sideways on a corner of the lid. Popped the lid and DVD open. What a sick feeling Good News: it started up again, nothing physically broken. Bad News: blank screen, big gouge on top. I waited for the hard drive to stop making noise and assumed I was at the opening dialogue. I typed the first letter of my startup name and then my password and it seems to be running OK. I'm at work now with nothing but PC's around. Tonight I'll try either Target mode with my desktop or the external screen with my TV and verify everything is running (except of course my display). What should I look for as the reason for the blank display? (besides my clumsiness). I have installed a hard drive and airport card and am not afraid to open it up but not very experienced with this kind of thing. A disconnected wire?

Suspect lombard Ethernet Port
I emailed the list on Friday about the ethernet port on my daughter's Lombard. I now have the machine to hand. For quite a while this afternoon I couldn't get it to do anything on the network at all. Although phyisically connected (via an ethernet cable I know to be good, into a hub) there was nothing - it wasn't even getting an IP address from the DHCP server amd the port light on the hub was dark, although there had been some flickering as it booted. However, running ifconfig en0 brought the correct response - the flags said it was UP, BROADCAST, SMART, RUNNING, SIMPLEX MULTICAST and mtu was 1500. The 'inet' line showed a self-assigned ip address. All the other important lines in the response - ether, media - showed 'active'. I opened Network Utility and tried a few pings to the router. No response. Then I tried netstat, in the network Utility, and selected Display Comprehensive Statistics for each protocol, and got a long and encouraging response - eg, tcp 3249 packets transmitted, etc, and 3268 packets received, including 17 duplicate acks. Then I noticed that the light on the hub for the port it was plugged into was flickering again. I tried a few more pings and started to get intermittent responses. Then after a while the hub port light came on continuously, pinging, etc, was working everytime. Somewhere in there it had also successfully got an ip address from the dhcp server so I tried to browse the web and it was successful. And it stayed like this for a while. Then I tried rebooting the Lombard. If I did an immediate (or nearly immediate) reboot it came up with networking functioning. If we left it for a while then networking was not working when it came back up, but (after intermittently working initially) came back later. I'm looking for thoughts as to what might be causing this. The obvious one is that there is some sort of intermittent disconnection in the ethernet hardware, or on the motherboard. Can anyone think of any alternative reasons? Oh, my daughter did tell me that there was thunderstorm between the time it was last working properly and the time when it wasn't. However, the Lombard was turned off (actually off, not just sleeping) during that time, although it was connected to the cable modem. Tom -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

recycling--on topic!
Here's a good idea--bound to set the manufacturers and dealers off on multiple tirades, but it's about being responsible with our junk! C B C . C A N e w s - F u l l S t o r y : Alberta sets electronic recycling fees Last Updated Fri, 07 May 2004 15:16:38 EDMONTON - The Alberta government is tacking a recycling fee onto the cost of electronic equipment, the first of its kind in Canada. The fee will be attached at the first point of sale - from the wholesaler to the retailer. The fee breakdown is: * $15 to $45 for televisions * $12 for computer monitors * $10 for computer processors * $8 for printers * $5 for laptops or notebook computers Environment Minister Lorne Taylor says he hopes to divert more than 360,000 kilograms of lead from going into Alberta landfills every year. If you had the opportunity to be out to the Edmonton landfill to see literally a mountain of electronic material out there, you'd realize it's not about fees, says Taylor. Taylor says the fees were set after studying guidelines set by the Electronic Products Association of Canada, made up of companies such as Dell, IBM and Sony. Saskatchewan and British Columbia are about to set up a similar program The fee will be collected through a non-profit organization called the Alberta Recycling Management Authority, starting in October. Taylor indicated recycling fees may be applied in the future to cell phones, stereos, VCRs, DVD players, fax machines and video games.

9.5 mm will work fine. As long as it's not larger than the original drive in height.

dropped pismo
Hello All, Late last night my Pismo slipped from my grasp onto my hardwood floor. Landed sideways on a corner of the lid. Popped the lid and DVD open. What a sick feeling Good News: it started up again, nothing physically broken. Bad News: blank screen, big gouge on top. I waited for the hard drive to stop making noise and assumed I was at the opening dialogue. I typed the first letter of my startup name and then my password and it seems to be running OK. I'm at work now with nothing but PC's around. Tonight I'll try either Target mode with my desktop or the external screen with my TV and verify everything is running (except of course my display). What should I look for as the reason for the blank display? (besides my clumsiness). I have installed a hard drive and airport card and am not afraid to open it up but not very experienced with this kind of thing. A disconnected wire? Maybe just false hope here but if any suggestions please reply direct to me or send a cc as I am on digest mode. Hello all, I have traveled extensively across the U.S. in a van with my pismo and noticed that every so often when I turn on my computer I get a blank screen. Usually it is caused by my either tossing my laptop too much while in its bag or just general vibration from the road. What happens is the CPU card gets loose and then I have to push down and reset it. So you might try pushing down a little harder than you think necessary on the CPU card to see if it seats itself better in its slot. This is a source of my blank screens and could be yours??? If you haven't tried it, it won't hurt... later, Darrin Oklahoma's true FCP, Mac guru -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

iBook crash
Any help possible here? We have an original clamshell running 9,2 and during sorting thru the spam today it froze, and the three-finger salute produced boot up only to the desktop picture and clock. No icons. A few more tries with the same result. Restart with no extensions allowed use of Tech-Tools (on the disk already). Two tries on that seemed to fix what ailed it and now it boots, but can't see the Airport - says it can't communicate with the Airport software and shows Airport error 3278. Also can't read CD-Roms and wants to initialize them (it does not have a burner.) As ever, any help appreciated. Offline if this is too far OT. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Probably - there are commonly little metal strips stuck in the brick mortar and nailed back to the house to secure the brick veneer, making a nice RF shielding. But those strips (at least the ones I've seen) aren't continuous. To block a radio signal from getting through you need metal with holes no larger than a certain size. The size is a fraction of the wavelength). Much of my has has stucco which has a metal mesh embedded in it. The holes in this mesh are about 1. This is small enough block the signal. One advantage of UHF and above is that it will tend to bounce around a lot and go in and out of windows or other openings in a shielded structure. Even with the stucco walls I can get a signal out in front of my house.

Re: Pismo booting OS X from external Firewire?
On 2004-May-07, at 09:19, Brian Braunschweiger wrote: Will a Pismo boot from an external Firewire drive with OS X on it (specifically Panther)? Yes, under Jaguar also. Due to a problem with some of the internals on my Pismo, I had to install Jag onto my new drive (after I partitioned it), and it will boot Jag or MacOS 9 off the external FireWire (by picking the partition - can hold down Option key and select which partition, or use Startup Disk to choose). And, you can boot Classic apps running MacOS 9 off a different partition from your MacOS X one (or I know you can under Jaguar). If yes, a follow up question is if I can use Carbon Copy Cloner to simply move my present OS X to the Firewire drive and then boot from there. Yes. Glad Edward answered that one for you (I would have suspected the same). Putting my .02 in for those who might be wondering about Jaguar (which is currently cheaper to buy than Panther - or will be until Tiger comes out for sale).
