Re: Wallstreet queries
Hello, I have just acquired a Wallstreet (292 mhz, 64 mb ram, 5 GB hd with OS 9.1) which has a yellow tinge along the bottom of the screen for about half an inch. Is there a cure, besides a new screen? Also, the Re-set of: Shift, Control, FN and Power does not work and I have had to pull the plug out to shut it off after it froze. Are there other suggestions for a way to shut it off? Thanks. Actually, it should be: Cmd-Ctrl-Power Luis -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Buying a new or refurbished iBook may well be a better idea than buying from a private seller. The Apple store has sometimes had great buys on refurbished items and you can get the Applecare plan on them. I am not sure if Apple offers refurbished items to all areas of the world but I have had friends buy them and they have been very pleased. As you said New is new - warranty and all. Laptops are generally much more susceptible to expensive repairs so buying new would allow you to purchase the Applecare warranty. If you are a student or teacher you can also qualify for the educational discount which generally reduces the price by approx $200-300 (CDN).

PB repair in Canada
I was told by Applecare today that Canadians cannot have their PB's or Laptops sent in for repair - they can only be serviced at local authorized repair centers. Are there no Applecare repair centers in Canada that can do this work ? The wait time for local repairs can be up to a week just to get your computer looked at, whereas I have heard many people outside Canada talk about 36 hour turn around times when they shipped their laptops off to Apple and had it repaired. Are there any Canadians here who have actually been able to send their PB's in for repair or is this a new policy (only local repairs and service) ? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The tiny 12 screen is just too small for me to be practical for any of my uses - including Photoshop and Illustrator.

Shift-apple-cmd-power key combo ?
What does this key combo actually do ? I was advised to do this by an Applecare Tech because my 15 AL PB will not wake up from sleep. After I did this combo, it does seem to wake up from short term sleep - 5-10 minutes but it is still not waking from a 20-30 minute sleep without plugging it in or powering it on again. Just wondering also - should a hard disk sleep respond to tapping the keyboard to wake it up again or does it normally shut the computer off after a certain period of time ? This PB just won't wake up after an extended sleep. Am I missing something really basic here or is there something wrong with the way this PB is sleeping ?

Re: iPhoto (was: screen sizes vs. reality)
Iphoto, at least in the current version, makes all kinds of folders within folders that appear to have nothing to do with organizing pictures. There are folders for thumbs, and cryptic names to these folders and the folders inside them. I used it for a while last year (I have only been in OSX for about a year) and after having to open every single folder under pictures to find my photos, such as my old 2002 - January folder, which had changed and scattered photos that used to (in Windows) be organized the way I wanted them organized. I honestly don't care for the way iTunes does it either, but since I download music and manage the playlists on two iPods, it is a necessary evil. While I never liked Windows Media Player, I did like that its playlists, rather than text or whatever files, could be the contents of a folder on my PC. I'm sure iTunes has a way of doing that too, but like iPhoto, it just sorted my music the way IT wanted to the first time, and it has stayed that way.

Re: iPhoto (was: screen sizes vs. reality)
And don't forget that the arcane file structure of iPhoto makes it more difficult to store those pictures off the hard drive. I have all of my 2002 and older photos on a single DVD (with a duplicate of that DVD just in case). I upgraded to a 5MP camera in 2003, so I use a few more DVDs, but once I have about 3.5-4GB worth of photos on the hard drive, I like to offload them, keeping the recent ones on the hard drive.

Re: Apple menu additions
Another trick that while not an actual Apple Menu is to enable the Script Menu, and then drag your aliases into it. My script menu has all of the programs I use on a less than a daily basis, in subfolders by type, as well as a few documents that I regularly access but don't want on the dock. I tend to keep my dock fairly empty, with only my primary apps (14), my Documents and Applications folders, and the Finder. Anything else I want easy access to goes into the script menu, which is a bit slower access (it thinks for a second or three before opening when it has lots of things in it), but its free and does the job.

Re: Apple menu additions
On thing about the script menu is that by default (it is activated from the Applescipt folder in Applications) it has lots of Applescript aliases in it. I don't use any of them, so I just emptied the whole contents allowing me to use this as my own Apple menu. Also, it looks kind of strange with certain programs (Office), which have their script menus. Right now I have Entourage open, so right after the help menu is a script menu, then a little over an inch away is my script menu, both of which have the same icon, but very different contents. Andrew On 1/3/05 6:49 PM, Andrew F. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Another trick that while not an actual Apple Menu is to enable the Script Menu, and then drag your aliases into it. My script menu has all of the programs I use on a less than a daily basis, in subfolders by type, as well as a few documents that I regularly access but don't want on the dock. I tend to keep my dock fairly empty, with only my primary apps (14), my Documents and Applications folders, and the Finder. Anything else I want easy access to goes into the script menu, which is a bit slower access (it thinks for a second or three before opening when it has lots of things in it), but its free and does the job.

Re: naming of the second-to-last G3 PowerBooks?
This is nothing personal, but it just made me laugh what three subsequent emails said tonight: Lombard is the second to last G3 model line. From your battery descriptions, I think you are looking for the Wallstreet name (kind of encompasses Mainstreet/Wallstreet/PDQ). I believe you are lookong for Pismo. And the winner is...? :) The question was broken. The flat battery which the questioner quoted was the Wallstreet which wasn't the second last G3 Powerbook. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: naming of the second-to-last G3 PowerBooks?
Only Dan knows for sure! Yes, the Lombard was the second to last in the G3 PowerBook line... However, the battery that Dan describes (M4685, for the Wallstreet), has never/will not/will never fit in the second to last G3 (Lombard). Just to sort of answer Dan's question(s)... 1) The Lombard is the second to last G3 PowerBook 2) The Wallstreet (and Mainstreet, and PDQ) use the M4685 battery 3) The Lombard and Pismo use the M7318 battery 4) Which means the M4685 and M7318 are not interchangeable Hope this helps Dan Oh, and by the way Marcin...the winner(s) are? Lombard is the second to last G3 model line. From your battery descriptions, I think you are looking for the Wallstreet name (kind of encompasses Mainstreet/Wallstreet/PDQ).

Re: WS I and sleep
Alejandro said: I can asume that Panther was made to be installed on Wallstreets also but Without Support (there aren't ADB Macs supported by Panther). They may have been initially targeted, but explicit support removed some time before release. Or quite likely general changes in Panther affected Wallstreets unspecifically without these actually being targeted. Far from all OS changes in incremental upgrades are on the specific hardware level. I'd guess a minority of them. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

No it isn't, but then I'm very selfish when it comes to my laptop, and I can't stand people looking over my shoulder at what I'm doing, a definite annoyance when using my Pismo.

Re: screen sizes vs. reality
One surprising thing on the 12 is the quality of the sound from the built-in speakers. When I'm in a hotel room the sound is good enough when watching DVD movies that I rarely bother with headphones. I've not tried the sound in the 15 or 17, but in comparison the sound on the Pismo is downright wimpy, as is that on my friend's TiBook and my coworker's current generation 14 iBook.
