DVD media.
Which media the newest PowerBook SuperDrive is able to burn to? I don't know that much about DVDs, but apparently there are a couple of incompatible standards. Apple's site mentions only DVD-R and DVD-RW [1], but I was able to successfully burn DVD+R, and the just inserted DVD+RW was also detected and is apparently ready to be toasted. Could anyone please shed some light on this?

Re: OT: iTunes and iPod
1. Load all the tunes on the PC first, then plug the iPod into the Mac (if you start on the Mac, the PC cannot read the iPod and you have to initialise it for the PC, losing your songs). Itunes for Windows formats the iPod as a fat32 file system, which OS X can read. Itunes for OS X formats the iPod as an HFS drive, which windows cannot read.

I'm trying to determine the speed of this module: SMS 128MB A006628 / 6S16641BELNTUV (Separate Label) It also says FM Computer Components Q31732 on a third label The chips say: F (with lines above and under) Japan 81164842A-100LFN 9816 M26Z Is there an online service where I can find this info about old SMS modules or can you guys help me deteremine the speed? I've used this in a Powerbook G3 / 266 so it's either PC-66 or PC-100 I suppose. I couldn't find this module on the SMS Systems web. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: this is getting redundant, isnt it?
On my Lombard, OS 8.6 works better than 9.0.4, 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 I'm very happy with 8.6 and the FREE Panther (Tiger will be soon installed from the same source). I made some changes on 8.6 with ResEdit and it looks a little different (replaced the Keyboard flags, the StartUp Screen the DVD icon, etc). I don't need 9.2, because it eats more space and adds nothing (I replaced the 6GB HD for a 60GB one). I prefer to burn discs with Toast (Multi session, CD-RW support and a few things that 9.2 don't have). That's why I keep OS 8.6 and for Classic, ResEdit can replace the version number of the System so OS X can use 8.6 as Classic without problems and FASTER. Really Thanks for your advice. --- michael Vogt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have Lombard also but I use Panther orf everything then when My kids want watch a DVD we just boot into 9.2.2 you don't need 8.6 and if not a move you want to watch you use VLC for X works fine for some stuff but all you is a basic version of mac OS 9.2.2 Michael Sharon Vogt On Jul 19, 2004, at 1:43 PM, Pauline Turtle-Bear Guillermo wrote: On Jul 19, 2004, at 5:25 AM, Marcin Wichary wrote: I would love to go over to your house and break your Lombard and put you out of your Mac OS X misery...

And of course they don't accept inventors Confidential Disclosure Agreements. They are simply covering their asses. I understand that they need to cover their asses. But they don't need to be so apparently unreasonable. I have asked my government to make such 'agreements' illegal. I look forward to the day we have a Standard Confidential Disclosure Agreement negotiated between say Chamber of Manufacturers or like and e.g. Inventors Association. This is an active engineering research area for them, and they don't want you coming back in ten years and suing them because they developed something *like* your invention. There is nothing like my invention. I didn't mention that according to the information I have about water cooling, my system has about double the performance. Anybody have a figure for delta T °C/W for the water cooled g5? Very few corporations will accept unsolicited technology submissions, much like very few movie production companies will accept unsolicited scripts. You want to sell your script? Get an agent. Then, at least they know they're dealing with a professional. You want to sell your invention? Get a patent, then set up a corporation to license the technology, and you'll find that they are generally more willing to deal. Expensive? Yep, it is. If it's as truly revolutionary as you say it is, though, it's worth the investment; licensing fees for it from a few large corporations could make you a wealthy man. I have no faith in the patent system. It is said that it costs about 15,000 US to get a US patent. It is also said that 97% of inventions fail to return this expense. In my country even the patent office quotes a figure of 99%. Having had other promising inventions denied patents by hostile patent offices using obviousness as a means of denial of last resort, I am reluctant to push good money after bad. If you get a patent, do you know what it is? Simply a license to sue! Spend more money. Until the (total) patent system becomes less of a rip off of inventors, I will do my best to encourage other inventors to 'fuhgetaboutit'. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
