free speech (apple care)
Hey geoff, i take issue with something you said... «So free speech is not allowed unless everything is good too the Apple ORB» your emails made it to the list and to everyone's mailboxes, they were not impeded in any way. Thats all free speech is. Free speech doesn't guarantee that everyone will also agree with you, which is the case here. So don't go waving the free speech isn't allowed here flag, because in truth, you've started an excellent debate with many participants. We heard you. some agree, and some just disagree. I dunno if it will get much further cause its been in a downward spiral and i'm sure most of the listers are just ignoring these posts now, I know i'm almost at that point. I mean, i like hearing about apple care successes and failures, cause it helps me as a consumer when trouble should arise. But the one thing about this issue is that you're speaking for someone, and while he sounds somewhat upset about his 14 ibook screen, he isn't as vocal and not nearly as upset as you are.

Re: End of life?
Jeff Hubatka said: most people believe that the size of the G5 and heat sink necessary precludes that from going into the current Powerbook. Perhaps so, but IBM had a slower G5 version for portables already when the G5s were introduced in 2003. I'm not sure if improved versions of that chip could fit in a Alu type shell of course, but they did have the processor already. A 1.5 or so Ghz powerbook G5 may be a quite interesting prospect compared to the PB G4 variety. however, I'm not holding my breath. My next step is a 1Ghz Titanium if I can find a fair price. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: what is wrong with this PB ????
Amber - I saw a reply to your reply - but I didn't see your reply to meclear as mud right? Your iPod is really an external hard drive with software that lets it do a little extra. Plug it in and treat it like any other external. I have a 1st generation iPod that I use only for carrying important files - it beats carrying around 10 CDs or a big external drive and power supply. The important thing is to back up your data - since you are erasing the hard drive I don't recommend updating applications. The only exception would be applications for which you don't have disks - things you've downloaded. Even then, if you have access to broadband, it would be best to do a clean install of them too. Remember, applications that have an installer often have files put in places other than their own folder. Good luck david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet Hard Drive Recommendations
Very interesting recommendations re: Wallstreet HD. Thank you Ben. I didn't know about the buffer and wonder if bigger than 8MB are available. Also, any reason not to go to 7200rpm?

You'll need an ATA-5 drive, which limits things a bit -- I'd go for a relatively low-capacity drive (say 40GB) at 5400rpm, preferably with an 8MB buffer. A large buffer is good, because it reduces the amount of mechanical work a drive has to do, so you'll get higher access speeds and a longer battery life, and a 5400rpm drive is good (even though it reduces battery life) because it is noticeably faster than the 4200rpm drives that come standard with most laptops. Due to the age of the machine, you probably won't be using it for video editing, gaming, or anything else that's too space-hungry (unless you have a large music collection), so the 40GB should be ample.

Good day all, I am glad this list is discussing hard drives, because I have just started looking into getting a new one for my Pismo PB. I am wondering if I ought to replace the internal drive or just keep it as is and get an external drive. The current drive is the stock IBM 18GB that came with the Pismo four years ago, and I don't know any other specs about it (rpm speed or RAM buffer size). I am comparing the drive speed rpms (4200 v. 5400 v. 7200) and the RAM buffer size, which are as small as 1MB or as big as 16MB. I think for an external drive, faster is better, yet how does the size of the RAM buffer figure into the equation? For an external drive is a larger RAM buffer actually better or overkill and wasteful? Is there a realistic buffer size where effective usefulness tops out and any more is just waste? For an internal drive slower uses less power, yet with a large buffer there is less drive access. So, is there a peak performance combination? Does a faster drive access less? And therefor is more effective? How much more effective is a 2MB buffer v. 1MB, and a 4MB buffer v. 2MB, etc, on up to 16MB v. 8MB? Is all that RAM actually used and effective? I am looking for the fastest *and* most efficient combination. I appreciate any facts, opinions, tho'ts, or experiences you'd like to share. Thank you all and have a great day!

Re: what is wrong with this PB ????
Hi Scott, Thanks for replying ! On 1/25/05 10:40 PM, Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amber, Have you done the usual resets, PMU, PRAM, etc? Yes...none of them made any difference though. How much RAM does the PB have? 512 MB - this is the original RAM that came with the PB when I bought it directly from Apple. Has the Hard Drive recently become filled near full capacity? It is an 80 gig drive. It currently has 10 gigs left but that was just as of today. All the problems started when there was still a clear 20 gigs left. I am trying to back stuff up to my iPod and the remaining few gigs of my Lacie External drive. I still have about 30 gigs to back up though and am seriously considering buying a second external drive. Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Start the PB as a firewire drive, T key held down. Extract the data and burn it to DVD off the other computer. I'm going to give this a try - but am just going to dump stuff on the hard drive of a friend's iMac and then transfer it back after the erase and install. Toast 6 should allow you to use the superdrive on the PB to burn your DVDs if needed. The PB's Superdrive should show as a supported firewire burner. I do have Toast but the Superdrive is currently not working at all. It is unable to recognize or acknowledge anything in the drive. Amber -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Wallstreet Hard Drive Recommendations
I got one of these, it's a great price. I would only buy a Dell _computer_ to use as a prop in a horror movie about bad computers, but this hard drive is in my iBook and I love it. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx? sku=A0242099c=usl=encs=19category_id=2999page=external On Jan 25, 2005, at 9:15 PM, Ken wrote: I have a Wallstreet II/300 with 196MB RAM. Recently obtained a retail install set for Jaguar and would like to give it a try. So far the highest I have gone on any of my machines is OS 9.2.2.

I have seem some in the 40-60gb range for $80-120 on ebay, supposedly new and have thought of getting one. Before laying out $$, does anyone here have recommendations?
