Bugdom on original Cds?

[Dan Palka]

I remember my iBook 366 came with the original Bugdom pre-installed.  
I'd like to reinstall it, since reformatting.

Where is it on the iBook Software Install CD?

Re: TiBook display crisis

[Ben Dyer]

The briefly flashing screen, hissing sound, and uneven illumination 
suggests that your problem is with the inverter circuitry that drives 
the LCD backlight. If the other suggestions don't work out, replacing 
the inverter board might work ($84.50 at 
http://www.wegenermedia.com/titp.htm). Although the inverter is located 
under the optical drive in your model of PowerBook, cleaning fluid 
could have shorted the backlight connector.

Hope this helps.

hello folks,
I've cleaned some hours the display of my 1GHz TiBook with a spray 
product and a microfibre cloth. All was well, I booted it up as usual, 
then logged on. But only in a matter of minutes the screen went dark. 
It wasn't sleeping, the screen went to the lowest level of luminosity 
(when the screen picture is only barely visible), although the 
luminosity setting was still max (one can still see the settings, 
while adjusting the luminosity). I then restarted the machine a few 
times (also reset PMU) and the symptoms are as follows:

after powering up, the boot procedure is normal. The screen flashes to 
normal luminosity only for a fraction of a second right before the 
apple appears at screen centre (I believe this is when the screen if 
first powered at booting time). Simultaneously to the flashing, a 
noise is heard, sort of white noise, apparently coming from the area 
where the Power board is. The flashing is usually very brief, only 
once was lasting a whole second or so.

The other thing I just noticed is that when opening the lid after 
having slept the computer, some light comes to illuminate the screen 
for a second or so, higher (but not full) intensity at the 
bottom/right side (where the video cables are fed through), fading to 
dark towards the left.

The product I have used for cleaning is a spray suitable for TFT 
display, but I was told it is fine also for notebooks (there's also a 
notebook picture on the bottle). What have I done there? Perhaps some 
drops have penetrated somehow in the machine? Or have I damaged the 
LCD for good? Any hope to recover this beast, or idea of what to look 
at? I never had any display issues in the past on this machine.

thanks in advance for any precious suggestion. cheers, gianfranco

He was trying to give you some advice that will enable you to get 
better help and be taken more seriously.  As with most things, if you 
know the right terms, it can be a signal to folks that you've done your 
homework and therefore make them more likely to help you.

If you're dealing with folks who are volunteering their time to answer 
your question.  Your "job" is to make it as easy as possible of them to 
want to help.  This document is well worth the time to read, at least 
the Introduction

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
If you want to take shots at people who are trying to offer helpful, 
well intentioned advice, then I'd expect fewer people to try and help 
in the long run.

Personally, I called it the "Mac Key" or "Apple Key" several times 
because that's what it looked like.  I agree that if they wanted to 
call it the Command Key it would have made a lot more sense to put 
"Cmd" on it instead of an Apple or Cloverleaf, but nobody asked me and 
it's unlikely that the nomenclature will change to suit my preferences. 
 So I can choose to call it the Mac Key because that's what I prefer, 
and be assumed to be a newbie who doesn't really know all that much 
(whether or not that is really the case)...or I can choose to accept 
the given advice that it's generally called the Command Key by those 
who know what they are talking about, and use that term even though I 
think it's rather silly (the NeXT keyboard did label it "Cmd" which 
made it much more clear).

These are the options open to me.  Personally I appreciate the folks 
who pointed out the name to me, because when I heard people talk about 
"Command Key" I could have mistakenly assumed they meant the "Control 
Key" unless they helped me understand.

That's fine and dandy, and I usually do say Command when talking to other
Mac users, but to myself and other non-mac users I still say Flower out of
habit.  I like saying flower, and if it was up to me, I'd say flower all the
time.  It makes the Mac sound more friendly.

If that makes me sound unprofessional or not serious enough, then you need
to do one thing...

I think you mean "leech".

But the point is well taken. Maybe use "Apple" or "cloverleaf" to guide
someone by means of the symbol to the correct key the first time, if not in
their presence, while instructing that it is called the Command key and
henceforth using that term.

Bruce

It's also  been called the "Apple" Key because of the apple silhouette on it.

But I think what Mikael was trying to say (if I can try and translate 
his meaning) is that in language things go by specific names in order 
to be understood properly. And people who don't use the proper name 
for things aren't regarded as seriously as those who do, (If that's 
not Mikael's viewpoint, it certainly is mine.

You can call a basketball "that round thing" if you want to, and 
still be somewhat accurate. But I sure wouldn't take someone 
seriously who called a basketball "that round thing."

I feel the same way about people who call the Command key by another 
name. The first thought that goes through my mind is "That's a newbie 
that doesn't know any better." It doesn't matter to me how many 
alternatives MacAddict puts on a list.

So my feeling is the more serious a person wants to be taken, the 
more accurately they need to communicate.

I'm not trying to denigrate Dan, or anybody else. I'm just explaining 
why someone might correct a person if they refer to the Command key 
as the Flower key or Cloverleaf key.

AOL has a reputation of cultivating users who don't know much more 
than how to turn on the power key. I hope Mac users don't reduce 
themselves to that level. I think it's a responsibility of seasoned 
users to help newer users to understand and adapt to the established 
vernacular and method of doing things -- without being rude, 
condescending or egotistical. One of the joys of using a computer is 
learning new things all of the time. That doesn't mean every user 
should become an expert, but the person that is too lazy or stubborn 
to learn as they go along will be a leach for the rest of their 
virtual life.

If I have come across as rude, condescending or egotistical, I did 
not mean to. And I apologize.

Re: wallstreet LCD backlight not on after wake from sleep

This pops up from time to time.  Here is what I wrote about it some time ago.
In my case, following a crash the backlighting would initially light 
up during boot but would later black out.  Once the system booted I 
could hit the brightness button and it would light up.  But if I put 
it to sleep and then woke it up the screen would not light up and 
there was no response from the brightness button.  The solution I 
found was to restart in OS 9.2.2 then put it to sleep and wake it 
back up again.  After that I could reboot into OS X and all would be 
well.
