Re: Trackpad on PB17
Hi: I've a Powerbook 1GHz 17 (I've had it for about a year now) and the trackpad drives me nuts. The cursor is always jumping all over the place and when I turn on the ignore while typing I get the delay as you have described below. I'm more used to it now and I guess I've trained my hands to stay far away from the keypad while I type as it happens less frequently now. Have never had this problem on any other Powerbook/iBook prior to this one. Sheesh. ...

Re: extreme prices for non-extreme Airport cards
Hi: Just thought I'd pass on a rumor I heard from a rep at CDW. He said that he spoke with a D-Link rep at Comdex (I think he said Comdex) and the rep told him they were going to be releasing an internal airport card (like the old card Apple used to sell) for the Pismo, old iBooks, etc. The time frame the D-Link rep told him was end of September. If you read MacInTouch, I posted this rumor over there as well. Hopefully this is true and will end both the scarcity of old cards as well as the hyper-inflated prices. ...

Re: extreme prices for non-extreme Airport cards
It will probably sell for $79, but with the legendary D-Link rebates, it will likely cost $39 in a few months! - Original Message - From: Clark Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: G-Books [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 2004 7:59 PM Subject: Re: extreme prices for non-extreme Airport cards At 9:53 AM -0500 9/9/04, Mark Kippert wrote: Eric Morrison on 9/9/04 8:31 AM wrote: Just thought I'd pass on a rumor I heard from a rep at CDW.

If you read MacInTouch, I posted this rumor over there as well. Hopefully this is true and will end both the scarcity of old cards as well as the hyper-inflated prices. ... Eric I certainly hope they release it as the faster 802.11g. It would be nice but very unlikely. The card would still have to be a more or less PC Card, non-CardBus. It's not going to be able to handle 54MBps.

Re: wireless

I currently use an orinoco gold card for wireless on my lombard and have on the way a belkin wireless card for use on a second laptop. has anyone used one of these belkin cards and if so what drivers do they use,as the drivers that you get with them are PC only. also what other wireless cards can be used on macs running 9 and 9.2 The macs in question are a 3400 and a wallstreet 300mhz. Rather than repeat information that has been mentioned on the list repeatedly, I like to suggest you email list member Ken Vann [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask him to email you his wireless FAQ, which he will do for free. It has more good information than you can imagine. If that doesn't answer all, or most, of your questions give the list another shout. But you'll be surprised what you'll learn from Ken's FAQ.

Re: True Processor Speed
My Aluminum Powerbook is a 1.33 ghz and if I type in the line in terminal it spits out 1.33328 ghz so pretty accurate.

I read a lot of back and forth ( most posts were from 2003 ) some people said resetting the PMU made the number more accurately reflect the actual listed speed (do not want to do this). Others said that this would not return an accurate number no matter what. Some said it was totally worthless as any sort of indicator. Some said running XBench is a far better guide. This I did. Great results. As I previously said most of these posts were from late 03, I wanted to inquire as to whether or not anyone else has experienced conflicting numbers with ill effect or otherwise found that this is a generally meaningless issue. Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks.
