Re: hard drive question
Rad, I am not happy with my Hitachi 60 Gb 7200 rpm. Although it performs well, it has a very noticeable unpleasant vibration. Not yet had a chance to take it back - not sure of my luck there.

Dodgy DVD Players
From time to time people - me included -have asked for help with non-functioning DVD players in Pismo Powerbooks. I thought mine had died again (Matsushita replaced LG as recommended). I've just upped the RAM from 192 to 640. Suddenly CDs mount, DVDs play again. Mind, I had a scary morning as nothing happened at all after I'd put the RAM in first time. After about five disassemblies/reassemblies it all sprang to life again. Phew! So the moral seems to be - if your CD/DVD Player won't work, try more RAM.

BUT I could buy a new one from them for $379 or so...Both units will mount/play a CD but will not see a DVD at all just keeps spinning up and down several times before finally stopping and then I have to hit the eject tab on the side...Also did the cleaner and compressed air bit but no joy...

Re: Wi-Fi, Pismo and Panasonic Cordless Phone
Sorry to be so late answering all your helpful posts, but I learned the hard way the answer to my problem: Two days ago there was a BIG fire in a warehouse about 2 miles from my apartment. It was so big that burned the electrical and cable TV wires that feed a large part of my area. So I was without electrical power for about two hours, and without cable and cable internet for about two days. And guess what? My phone worked perfectly, without the strange noises. Mind you, is a Panasonic 900 MHz, so there should not be any interference, but there is. My previous phone, a different brand 900MHz never gave me problems. So yes, there is interference between my NetGear base and my phone.

Re: OT: Deodorant Theory (formerly Aluminum and Alzheimer's)
Truthfully, I was being sarcastic when I said I don't wear deodorant. I don't use the kind with aluminum in it and there's no reason to expound any more on any of that. I was just replying to what I thought was an uneccessarily reactionary reply to my original post. But, hey, whatever works for ya! I thought it was only me! I can't believe I am sharing this, but maybe it might help others, it's just not something commonly discussed. I have NEVER worn deodorant and I'm 37. I have also never had stinky armpits either. Now, I'm not a tree hugger, about as far as you can get from that, and I am a very clean person. I have my own 'deodorant conspiracy theory'. I think that using deodorant, rubbing those chemicals into your skin, pores and glands, daily (thousands of times in a lifetime), acutally CAUSES the odor to be worse than what would naturally occur. Sure, everyone has a natural 'odor', for instance if you've ever smelled someones head or hair right after vigorous exercise, but it's nothing like the odor of a normal deodorant wearer who goes without it for a day or two and does some exercise. When I was growing up, all my buddies used it, it's just 'what you do' when you go through adolescense, (like shaving, may not actually need to, but it makes you feel older) and they all stank like hell, and I thought, when mine start to smell, I'll start using it then...well, mine never started to smell like that. Sure I get sweaty, but I don't reak, just the natural 'odor' like your head/hair has...and you can't put deodorant on your head...well, I guess you could. ;) I have only told a couple of close friends about this, and my wife of course, and have made sure I asked them if they have EVER smelled any odors from me and they said 'of course not'...then I told them I had never worn it. I think using it, actually causes odor, or makes it much worse, so you keep using it...a viscious cycle. Now, I don't think you can just stop using it, if you have used it for 10+ years and expect not to smell...I have no idea if that would eventually pass, or if some permanent change has already happened to the glands/pores/whetever-dermis. All I know is that it works for me probably because I have never used it. I have a 10 year old son and have already told him my thoughts on it...of course if he starts 'smelling', I will of course tell him to start using it. He is athletic, as I was/is. Anyway...just wanted to propose the idea. And I don't eat any garlic other than whats normally in food. Rad... -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

TiBook power supply question
My son broke the connector to his charger where it plugs into the PowerBook. I found a replacement plug at Radio Shack (3/32 stereo plug). What I need to know is the polarity of the 3 segments of the tip so I can solder it onto the wire. I don't care about the status lights I just want to be able to charge the battery and run the machine. All of the 65watt chargers should be the same. I just don't have access to one right now. Its a 550mhz TiBook.

Re: Almost Dead Wallstreet (update)
Glad to hear its up and walking. Try running a CD cleaner through the CD drive. Sounds like its dirty or out of focus. There is an adjustment process for the drive, I had to do it for my 1400, but its a little complicated. Somebody had directions for the PB1400 CD drive (should be similar).

Re: Aluminum and Alzheimer's
starfleet52 said: Quote From Website You sure do give impressive references. The Web! Wow, then I guess it must be true. Most experts will tell you, however, that aluminum is not a cause of Alzheimer's disease. You can safely continue using your antiperspirants, drink the city water (aluminum is used in some water systems to remove silt), wrap left-overs in aluminum foil, take antacids, and cook with your aluminum pots and pans. Most experts? If blanket statements like this doesn't ring a warning bell then you better try and get a little bit wiser. Did they meet all the experts themselves? Did they read all available output from most experts. How do they define an expert in the field. If this is unclear, this Website of yours is not credible and nor is the information. And how would you know the status of the above? I'd instead try and look for medical references within the subject on Medline (Google for the best starting point) and armed with those go to a biomedical library and look up the relevant articles. Or, if short on time, read a website that actually quotes just what references they base their arguments on. As for the medical reality concerning aluminium I'm not updated on the current status, but I think it's a valid concern worthy of attention. I'm more concerned with radiation though as I don't think my TiBook was designed for life on top of my chest and all radiation adds up (also science is way behind the current situtation). But it's kinda nifty sometimes when I have books to read. Maybe I should get a bigger better Palm with pdf capability? Any tips? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Classic keeps losing WiFi Internet connection; OS X connection fine
Graphite iBook SE, running latest version of Jaguar. When connected to our home wireless network -- either an original AirPort or a Netgear WGR614 -- OS X software works flawlessly with the WiFi signal and the greater Internet beyond. But Classic-based programs (including Outlook Express, IE and printing functions) loses the WiFi connection unpredictably -- sometimes within a few minutes of connection, sometimes much longer. Only way to restore connection is to restart Classic or the whole computer altogether. And then the connection may again disappear quickly. Any suggestions for getting Classic to stay connected -- at least as well as OS X? Thanks. CM -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Sorry, but I must correct myself. Meant latest version of PANTHER, not Jaguar.

Re: Aluminum and Alzheimer's - I am on topic - it's the topic that's off topic!
That reminds me of a joke, Rad. Little old lady went to the doctor and said she had a problem. Doc says What's your problem? LOL says Well it's not a big problem but I would still like to fix it. The problem is I can't stop passing wind But as I said, it's not a big problem, because you can't hear it, and you can't smell it Doc thinks for a bit and then gives her some tablets. Take one of these twice a day for two weeks then come back Lady comes back two weeks later Doctor, I took the tablets, and they made the problem worse. They still don't smell, but they sound really loud now Doc says Good, that's your ears fixed, now I'll give you some tablets for your nose .. Actually you could be right Rad - peoples body chemistries vary a lot. Some people are naturally immune to tooth decay for instance. .. P.S. Hard drive still has vibration.

I can't believe I am sharing this, but maybe it might help others, it's just not something commonly discussed. I have NEVER worn deodorant and I'm 37. I have also never had stinky armpits either. Now, I'm not a tree hugger, about as far as you can get from that, and I am a very clean person. I have my own 'deodorant conspiracy theory'. I think that using deodorant, rubbing those chemicals into your skin, pores and glands, daily (thousands of times in a lifetime), acutally CAUSES the odor to be worse than what would naturally occur. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
