Re: Painting AlBook ???
From: Aase Marit Waage [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am just now trying out the new iBook on the net for the first time and boy does things go faster than on the Pismo... Just love it!!! One of the biggest factors is VRAM for OS X!!! --- BTW, have you now decided for sure to go for the PB? I think I would have had problems deciding Em, no. I AM (!) having problems deciding!!! The issue is that the PB needs a new battery, but at least the I KNOW it is new, and that raises the price tag to just over 1000SEK (a basic 12 iBook costs 9495SEK with 256MB and combo), but that does include 768MB RAM and a SuperDrive. It also has AirPort Xtreme, which I know the iBook has. Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Re: Superdrive and DVD-RW?
DVD-RW works fine for recording data but iDVD used to reject them. I read some hints on how to get iDVD to accept them but never tried it (look at http://www.macosxhints.com/ ) and I seem to recall someone claiming the problem no longer exists but I wouldn't swear to that. Hmmm, I bought some CompUSA branded DVD-RWs and after trying 4 disks I came to the conclusion that my TiBk 1GHz SuperDrive didn't support writing to them (although the specs says it should). So my question is, was that just a case of low-quality, (virtually) generic media? Or something else? Covert settings? Faulty SD? Sunspots? -Al Terego The original TiBook 1GHz superdrive is NOT supposed to work with DVD-RW (only DVD-R). I have one. There is an unsupported, do-it-at-your-own-risk firmware upgrade which, in principle, allows you to do two things: double the burning speed for supported media (DVD-R at 2x, CD-R at 16x, CD-RW at 8x) and also burn to DVD-RW (at 1x). I did that and can do the first of those happily. Burning to DVD-RW is still not working great. Some burn, but give problems later, some give burning errors. I have been told that writing something to a DVD-RW on a different drive and then erasing it makes it work ok, but I have no other machine (mac or pc) that can write to DVD-RW, so I have no way of testing this claim.

Re: Multiple mail accounts (was Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice)
At this stage, the only feature you've mentioned that Mail doesn't have (set automatic check intervals on a per-account basis) is entirely unnecessary for anyone with an internet connection faster than a 14.4k modem. Cheers, Ben I (almost) stand corrected. You're right that having different intervals on a per-account basis is not terribly important. I would gladly switch to Mail... now I tried it and it imported all my mail from Eudora quite nicely. Good. It appears to do almost everything I need. It does not import my accounts (personalities in Eudora parlance), but I can remake them. Not a big deal, I have currently 10. I can select, on a per-account basis, whether to check mail automatically. What I can't seem to do is to check mail for a specific account, or set of accounts, individually. Let be more specific: I have a few accounts for specific purposes that are not used daily. In Eudora, I can have these set up so that Check mail does not check these accounts. One, for example, is an backup account with a free ISP that only allows POP when using one of their modem connections. I want to be able to keep this account accessible but disabled, in the sense that manually selecting the Check mail command does not try to check mail from this account. I don't find any way to achieve this. Now in Eudora I can leave the check box check mail on manual checks unchecked and, when needed, bring up the personalities pane, select this (and possibly others) personality and hit the check mail button, thus checking mail for this personality, while the regular check mail does not affect it. Can I have this sort of functionality in Mail? I would love to. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I used the old paperclip method and opened the CD drive and inserted the Restore CD and hit the power key and the system booted up to OS9. The battery shows one light and so I tried to boot up from the internal HD which has OS 10.3.6 . I get the big apple no spinning wheel and it just hangs with the big apple showing. I get the usual start up sound as well. After waiting 5min or so, I give up and press the power key+apple+control to restart holding down the C key to start again from the Restore CD and it will do this. How frustrating. Any suggestions any one? I had a somewhat similar problem. I tried all of the suggestions from the Apple Support site, but finally solved it almost by accident. I tried to start up with the OS 9 disk, but no luck using the C key. So I tried a couple of times by starting up using the Option key in order to select the CD as the startup disk but I could not get it to show. Finally I just clicked on the OS 10.3.7 icon and then the box with the right arrow in it. It started right up. I then went to the startup disk system preference and selected OS X.

iBook 500 - How capable ?
I still haven't recieved the iBook 500 that doesn't charge the battery/runoff the mains, but I will have a good look at it when it does arrive. If anyone has got any tips on how to solve this, please mail! BTW, it runs off battery ok. I am currently using an iMac G4 1GHz for showing AVI films on a TV, but it's overkill when looking at capital value vs. usage. I am thinking of using the iBook for Internat radio, iPod base station and playing movies onto a TV, maybe the odd e-mailing, nothing more. Anyway, how capable is the iBook 500 of showing AVI films on a TV at full screen with MPlayer for instance ? Min 256MB RAM, maybe 384MB. Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Re: Eudora Philosophy (Was: Multiple mail accounts)
Thus spoke Frank P. Eigler [EMAIL PROTECTED]1/18/05 I know you can use Eudora for free with ads, but why support a company with a philosophy like that? What the heck is wrong with that? It's called choice. Better than either being forced to pay a fee *or* be tempted to use it without paying for it. I wish *more* companies would do that. I use it this way. Yes, it *is* annoying *some of the time*, but it's nice to have a fairly feature-rich email client for free. Imagine that philosophy being applied to something like Photoshop Elements for or Office? When I said support a company like that, I meant paying for silly bug fixes, not because they have ads. I don't mind paying for something that has new features, but why pay full price for silly bugs?

Re: Setting up a prev. owned iBook Was: Re: Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice
Hi Tim, This is sort of a test too, because my last mail bounced, saying that my domain was black-listed... Please read my other mail, Tim. And to address specifically what you are saying... The system and software that is on this computer, is now mine. We are just talking about what came with this computer. I got all original CD`s, papers etc. that came with it too. The only additional thing that came with the computer, was the music he had collected. He asked me if I wanted it, and I said yes. Of course I could have chosen to say no and started downloading it all over again. But that really does not make much sense to do. You probably did not notice that I do not live in the US, since you are telling me what is right according to US law... But I don`t live in the US, I live in Norway - and I follow Norwegian law, which is very different than yours on this. If I deleted iTunes and started downloading it all over again, I would still be following Norwegian law. I only own one copy of this music, and I am not breaking any law. So I consider this music as mine, and I have my full rights to do so. The case would have been different if I lived in the United States of America, but I only have to relate to US law when I am in the US, just as you have to relate to Norwegian law if you visit our country... It might as well have been the other way around, meaning that if something is forbidden by law here, I can`t just assume that the same goes for you guys that live in the US... E.g. I think it is really horrendous that people dock tails and ears on dogs, and if somebody does it here, they would be in real trouble, it has been forbidden by law since 1981. Everybody here agree that it is a violation of animal rights to do so, it is considered as abuse and inflicting needless pain and suffering onto an innocent animal. I have been on a lot of International dog mailing lists over the years, and this issue comes up all the time. You bet I really feel like speaking up, telling how this issue is seen here in Norway and how I feel about it. But I just can`t push that belief on the US participants, or US friends when I visit the US, for that matter. I just have to respect that you follow your customs and legislation, and in the US this is still allowed. It is just one of these things you have to draw a line on, I think. I don`t like everything that is considered right in other countries, and people in other countries of course don`t like everything that we consider right. But, if you really don`t know, a simple question most often clears it up real quickly... Just my NOK 0.50 worth... :) Aase :) Hey Ben, that's somebody else's music! What you are suggesting is tantamount to theft. Aase, put your OWN music in iTunes, the stuff that is there now is NOT YOURS! For that matter, any software the previous owner left on it is NOT yours unless he gave you the install CD's and licenses. GUYS! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Setting up a prev. owned iBook Was: Re: Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice
Hi all, I have not got to reading the other mails, been too busy today. But I see that obviously has been some discussion, and I just feel compelled to make one thing clear... I see that Ben pointed out one thing, you guys don`t know which situation I am in. Ben - you are so correct! :) (and BTW, I am a she:) - Aw-Seh) I live in Norway, and my obligation is to follow Norwegian laws. According to the big red law book which I actually own copies of, we are here allowed to own 1 copy of music etc. for our own use. If you however choose to make copies to sell or distribute, then you are breaking the law. That we still have this legislation here, has been subject to a lot of discussion, but the law still says this, and I really don`t think it will be changed anytime soon... Actually I just read a long article about it, and there is no disagreement when it comes to interpreting this law, it is crystal clear (I promise you, the record companies do not like this one bit). Bottom line - as a Norwegian citizen, keeping one copy for myself of whatever it is in iTunes, is completely legal. I am fully aware of the fact that the laws says otherwise e.g. in the US, but I really don`t have any obligation towards US law except for when I am there... :) So, to be honest, I really don`t feel bad about enjoying this music when I know that according to the legislation I have to relate to - I am not doing anything wrong, and I hope that you guys can understand that. I must say though, I was really disappointed to find out that iTunes Music Store is not available for us here. I would love to use it, and download music to enjoy. I figured that I could just access it e.g. in the US, but I just get a window saying that it is not available in my country... Again, I appreciate all your help and input on the issues I need help with!!! This time I however think one point was proved, that things aren`t always as they seem... :) Have a nice evening! Here it is getting late, so it is time to hit the sack... I will be back tomorrow to really read your postings! Until then - take care! Aase :) Well, another thing to consider is that any music downloaded off of iTunes Music Store won't be able to be accessed unless he keeps the former user's account. If the former owner is 'OK' with this then. But I doubt it. It's just sad that we even have to remind others of the obvious. I will continue my attempts at 'tikkun olam', but experience tells me that it's an uphill battle.

Re: Setting up a prev. owned iBook Was: Re: Questions: OS Upgrades, browser/Mail/News choice
Hi again Nancy, I guess I will have to learn to hold my hands in a slightly different position... I think it really got a lot more sensitive because I have a fever at the moment. I tried earlier, and I really don`t have to physically touch the track pad... It is really annoying, because i type real fast, so before I am able to react, I have sometimes not only to another place, but also managed to select and remove something... If it gets real problematic, I will just have to try to cut a piece of plastic or something to put on top of it, but that is really not an ideal solution, having to remove it to use the track pad etc. Maybe I should ask Apple about it, if they have some ideas on how to deal with it... Did you ever do that? The whole keyboard and the mouse button are also very different than the Pismo, I think. But I remember feeling that way when I got the Pismo as well, so I guess it is much a matter of getting used to it. But the track pad problem is really annoying. I just selected and deleted most of this pharagraph. Seconds later I typed a word in the paragraph above, before I just now suddenly was typing in the sentence above then a few seconds later moved back a few characters... I think things happened maybe 6-7 times just during this paragraph... That is a bit much... I hadn`t got to doing anything about the keyboard set-up yet, but stumbled u pon it while using a program earlier, I saw the US flag showing in the menu. So I went to explore, and a little while later, I was typing touch as i always did. I just have to resist looking down at all, because I then suddenly doubt where things are. I got a keyboard ordered though, so I hope it arrives fast. I just have to find somebody to install it. A Mac dealer I know told me on the phone though that changing the keyboard wouldn`t affect AppleCare, but I should check whether it can affect it if I don`t use an authorized Apple workshop to do it for me. I got it ordered from a place out of town, so I can`t get them to do it. Another place I checked with, said they couldn`t just order and sell it to me unless I delivered them the computer for them to install it. I am sure that either my boss or my nephew (who has formal training in such things) can do it though, but I just want to be sure that I don`t get any problems. I would like not having to pay hours for doing it though, as the labor is real expensive here, and I already used a bit too much... Oh well, I`ll soon enough find out... Thanks again for your help!!! Aase :) (Aw-Seh, not Ace, even if some of my US friends call me that because they just can`t say my name) Aase--FWIW, the jumpiness of the trackpad on my ibook is something I'm still not used to, especially compared to my Pismo. I've fiddled with the settings on it and it doesn't seem to help, so I guess it's just something I'm stuck with. Enjoy your new 'book! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Painting AlBook ???
Hi again Larry, Have you seen a laptop painted with a motif? You wouldn`t be afraid that it could sort of ruin the simple elegance the PB has - the sort of minimalist style? I think the candy apple red sounds really neat and elegant... But again, of course it is a matter of taste... Did you have a look at the red Ferrari laptop? There`s a picture at http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/fr3000.htm I didn`t look further though, I am sure that there are better pictures out there... But, as far as I can see, it really looks great. But a painted PB would look much better, no doubt in my mind :) When you decide, if you do it, you will just have to share pictures!!! Aase :) From: John McGibney [EMAIL PROTECTED] Candy Apple Red;) That's the one. My biggest problem is deciding between a straight (i.e. single colour) or going for a motif of some sort. A straight colour will always look good, while a good motif will look better, though a crap motif will look shit and spoil the PB. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
