Re: next generation of laptop construction and design
I love the trackpad. I'm a high-speed touch-typist and to me the track pad is far better ergonomically than a track ball or mouse. I don't think I have ever hit it accidentally during the course of typing.

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design
I see your office 2004 test drive footer. How do you like it so far? I have and like v.X, but figured on upgrading since I qualify for the student and teacher addition, which is a steal at $150 for three licenses and I only have the single license on v.X (installed on two computers, but can't use simultaneously). Any problems on the new version yet? Any features that justify spending money? Andrew On 6/7/04 11:27 PM, Timothy Luoma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 6/8/04 2:21 AM, Andrew F.

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design
The whole ergonomics of the G3 Series is (are?) superior to later models. The trackpad that follows the contour of the case interior, the excellent keyboard, the curved case that somehow makes it more human-friendly, the feel of the matt black finish against your hand when you carry it.

OT-Burning a DVD for Windows use
Hello all: I have a problem that has left me stumped. My daughter has an IBM Thinkpad issued by her University. She received it when she was a Freshman and will be getting a new one this August when she starts her Junior year. She has quite a bit of music that is on her iTunes for Windows. The university will not transfer files, so it's up to her (me) to help her archive her files, including her music. She has a cd burner on this machine, but not a DVD burner and over 10 GB in music files alone. My thought was to somehow burn these with my iMac's DVD burner. I was able to connect to the iMac with Windows sharing turned on. I was also able to transfer the files. When I started getting ready to burn, I discovered you first have create a disk image file (.dmg), but in looking around on the net, I see that Windows machines have a lot of trouble dealing with .dmg files. Then I happened upon a site that said that the newest version of disk copy allows you to create master which works ok on Windows machines. Clearly when I selected that, a cd-r file was create rather than a .dmg. And it burned just fine on a dvd with disk copy. But even my iMac won't recognize the finished dvd, which makes me wonder if this route works with dvds as opposed to cds. Can anyone help me with this mess?

Re: Wallstreet processor mitch-match
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: My questions (finally!) are these: I assumed that mis-matching a WS series I or II motherboard with a series II or I processor would result in the laptop not working at all. Eveidently not? Anyone have similar experiences? This might be, but I never heard of it. I'd assume the CPU would adjust it's speed to the appropriate divider matching the bus speed. I think that in the Beige G3 at least , that is what will happen. On the other hand, my experience with the Powerlogix 500Mhz G3 bluechip, showed that you have to have the correct Mac Rom. Possibly Apple CPU's do have the correct ROM, no matter what. I did run my 266 CPU on the 83 Mhz original motherboard and it worked. I did not check the speed, however. This was for a short time as the 83Mhz board had problems. Also, by mis-matching the processor/motherboard, is there any chance either part could have been damaged? I don't think so. I have matched several processors on one WS I and one WS II boards and have had no probs, except for the Powerlogix 500Mhz G3 upgrade as mentioned. Others may have more informed experiences. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: pismo for recording
Thank you. I am serious about digitizing sound and doing a high quality record in the field. I am VERY new at this. Want to make a good decision. And keep it simple. I am considering using my pismo for recording ambient sound. I'd also like to control input as I am recording as much as possible (don't want to do much on computer). So I guess the interface needs to plugs for mics and knobs to adjust sound in stereo. also need lightweight and low money Will read article. What about the edirol UA-5.

Re: Upping to X.3.4
Myh X.3.4 udates went perfectly (1GHz 12 PB, 400MZ Sawtooth) by doing something similar. I booted from the Panther CD and ran disk first aid for both errors (none) and to correct permissions, then just used Software Update which worked without a hitch.

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design
Heh, I agree with you. I have an old PB180 that I still occasionally use. I like the feel of the TiBook keyboard over the iBook (I have a 900mHz G3) and previous G3 Powerbooks. I had a rev. B 12 PBG4 that felt OK, but not a significant improvement from the Ti (IMHO). I also find that I make far more typos on the iBook than I did on the Ti, so I'm switching back to a Ti as my daily driver for a while. -Hal On Jun 8, 2004, at 12:28 PM, Andrew F. wrote: No, you aren't.

Re: New PowerBook question.
On Jun 8, 2004, at 3:40 PM, Marcin Wichary wrote: Hi again, To get straight to the point: I am currently thinking of buying a PowerBook G4 15 1,33 GHz Combo with 512 MB DDR 333 SDROM in 2 SO-DIMMs and with a backlit keyboard (which as a touch-typist I don't really need, but I just wanna have it for the cool factor :) ). That would cost me around 2200 euro with discount for [PhD] students. (I am currently residing in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.) It seems that with some slight effort I can afford that. Good choice. I REALLY recommend getting Applecare, though. I believe it's pretty much mandatory on laptops, since they have a much higher chance of breaking. What I would want to do with it... Nothing heavy, I suppose. :) I was thinking about some basic stuff: emails/WWW, music, office work, writing, getting to know Mac OS X better (perhaps with some programming?), driving presentations, and on top of that maybe using Photoshop/InDesign for simple design/webdesign/typesetting. Possibly iPod in the near future. This would be a good choice of machine for that purpose. - can you upgrade/change the memory later with generic sticks, or can you only do it via the official Apple stores? No you can upgrade the memory via third party memory later. In fact, it's usually cheaper to buy the minimum ram configuration from Apple then use the rest of the money for Applecare and memory from a third party. For example, your solution costs $100 extra at the apple store, but Datamem.com sells a 512 mb SODIMM for $118. For $18 more than you were going to buy, you get 768 MB of ram... - can I drive both digital LCD screens and analogue projectors from this PowerBook out of the box? Yes. You'll get a VGA out and possibly an ADC out(?) adapter with this. - is AppleCare REALLY recommended? (yeah, I know it is, but it's a really steep icing on top of the already hefty cake... I guess I need some horror stories to convince me ;) ) It's saved many of my user's butts more than once. All of the faculty members here with macs travel extensively, and so are utterly dependent on their Powerbooks. also, you have to buy it straight with the computer, right? or can you purchase it later? This may depend on the locale, but I think you can buy Applecare for any system still under the original warrantee. - I assume that I can't buy this system at my local Apple Store, but I have to order it as BTO from Apple Store. How much time do you reckon it should take for the machine to be delivered? In my experience, absent constraints such as brand new systems, the Apple store ships pretty quickly.

Re: Taking the plunge
Congrats on the upgrade! You'll notice a nice performance boost. From my perspective, you'll get a nice boost by upgrading the RAM (pulling the 128MB module and replacing it with a 512MB). You have a full year to get AppleCare, so unless you need the phone support (which is initially only 90 days), you have some time. You can elect it anytime during the first year warranty and it will add 2 years to the total time. It also extends the phone support from 90 days to the full 3 years. In the end, I recommend it just in case. You can often find ithe enrollment kits discounted online as well. I got mine (iBook-specific) for around $125 on one of the boards. I'm a big fan of Airport, and highly recommend it. The Apple card isn't too expensive (and you can usually catch one on eBay). I really like the base stations as well, but if you don't need the external modem and antenna jacks, you might be able to get by with the new Airport Express. It' looks really slick and is a bit cheaper. I have one each of the Airport Extreme base stations (with and without the external antenna jack) and they work great. I use one as a repeater to completely cover my house for wireless. Good luck with the new hardware. -Hal On Jun 8, 2004, at 5:21 PM, Samantha Goodson wrote: Today I ordered a refurb 12 Ibook 800Mhz G4/256MB/30GB/Combo from the apple store.

Re: Taking the plunge
I would get the airport card before AppleCare, as the waranty can be added anytime during your first year. As for a Panther book, O'Reily's Missing Manual is excellent, if I could only find my copy.

Any recommendations there? peace, love, and joy, Samantha Samantha, I just made the same purchase and received my iBook Monday. My laptop was 1400/G3-220 so I know where you started and you are not going to believe the change. My desktop is a G4/400 w/ 512MB and the new iBook makes it feel like a turtle. If your PB 1400 has been your primary computer the iBook will really blow you away. :-) My first purchase was an Airport Extreme card and will be followed this weekend by a 512MB RAM. I already had a wireless router so I was set there. If wireless is NOT your primary concern, I'd go for the RAM first. As for the base station, depending on your needs, the soon to be released AirPort Express looks like a nice item. Best, JeffW. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

java development on a PowerBook
I am a java developer who is thinking of switching. I would like to hear reports from other developers who develop on a Powerbook rather than on Windows (I work for a windows-centric client), or on Linux (which I currently run on an aging ThinkPad). Specifically, *what tools do you use? Eclipse? Intellij? something else? How about J2EE frameworks and application servers (for development)? Does anyone use BBEdit? When do you think the JDK 1.5 vill be available for the Mac? What is the lag time between Windows Availability and and Mac availability for JDKs? Thanks much.

FireWire for Lombard?
Does anyone know: 1. if a video ichat via an iSight on a Lombard would work in terms of the processor speed? If it would be reasonable, then 2. can you recommend an inexpensive firewire card for the Lombard and where to get it? Perhaps off topic but perhaps not: 3.

Re: New Powerbook Question/Applecare
- is AppleCare REALLY recommended? (yeah, I know it is, but it's a really steep icing on top of the already hefty cake... I guess I need some horror stories to convince me ;) ) I don't have it for my iBook or iMac. But I do have very nice repair policies from the store I bought them from, much cheaper than AppleCare, and for more years. So far I have used the repair service twice and been very happy with it. If you buy from a very reputable dealer with a good return/repair policy, AppleCare is not needed. YMMV!! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I would not trust store repair policies or extended warranties if my life depended on them - even with the more reputable stores. They often have clauses/small print that excludes coverage of numerous repairs and are often a hassle to deal with. In my experience with Applecare, my computers were fixed very quickly. In addition, when I had bad USB port on my iMac's keyboard, they sent another one to me via FedEx and I got it the next day. Applecare also offers 3 years of phone support and extended coverage and can be a good selling point if you sell your computer within the 3 year period. I guess it boils down to personal preference. I just have had good experiences with Applecare and not so good experiences with store warranties. Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
