At 9:35 PM -0600 2/1/05, Andrew, a Mac Freak wrote: Hello, I have a 14 hour plane flight coming up and, wanting to watch movies/play games the whole time, I built a 15 D-cell battery pack. The fully charged voltage is 24.2 volts. I searched on Google and found that the power port on Apple's new laptops are standard 2.5mm stereo audio jacks (surprise!) so I connected the pack (with the polarity in mind) to a 2.5mm plug, connected to the ibook, and it works. My question is: at what voltage will the iBook so into sleep mode, if at all? I heard somewhere not to go under 12 volts, to avoid damage to the iBook; is this true? I don't think it's going to matter. When the menu bar ICON switches from Charged to On Battery you may have reached the point where the external battery pack isn't helping. I say may because it might still be providing some power to run the computer and the iBook's battery is providing the rest, I don't know for sure, it depends on the internal power circuitry. You could test it by monitoring the current from the battery pack and reduce the voltage (use fewer and fewer cells). When the On Battery ICON comes on if the pack is still supplying significant current then it is helping. I would at a minimum put a fuse right off the battery pack.

Getting satisfaction from Apple
We've had numerous flamewars about Apple's service here, thought I'd pass along a tidbit from the latest Tech Tails, one of SmallDog's newsletters (SmallDog is a sponsor of the LEM lists, and, speaking as a satisfied customer, one heck of a good company): Beyond Apple Tech Support by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have encountered several customers who have had the worst luck with a computer that you can imagine. Often the frustrated customer has had repair after repair attempted on his or her computer, yet is still having hardware problems. In these extreme cases, I encourage the customer to call Apple Customer Relations. Unlike Apple's Tech Support, customer relations is trained to handle sensitive and unusual computer issues. For example, we once had a customer who bought a G3 iMac from us. She brought it back a couple of months later because it had a video issue. The screen would intermittently turn a shade of yellow. We replaced the power-analog video board, but within a month she was back with the same issue. Once again we replaced the power-analog video board, but still within a couple of months she was back. This time we checked the cables from the PAV and it seemed to resolve the issue, so we did not replace the board. However, she was again back within two weeks with the same video issue. This time we replaced both the logic board and the power-analog video board. Within three months, the computer had problems. Thankfully, the iMac was still under warranty because the customer had purchased AppleCare. At this point the customer contacted Apple and pleaded her case. Apple called us and got some facts, then sent her a replacement unit. I asked the customer-relations representative what qualified a computer for replacement. He told me that Apple did not have a set number of repairs, but took each case on an individual basis. In my experience, after three or four separate hardware issues, it's a good time to call the customer relations team for help. To reach that department, call 1-800-275-2273 and ask for customer relations. -- Bruce Johnson This is the sig who says 'Ni!' -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Comatose TIBook
Have a TiBook on the bench here that's been getting increasingly cranky about waking up from sleep, It's an 800 MHZ DVI model. I reset the power manager as described in Apple's tech note, and it seemed to wake up and work fine. Now however, the user said he had trouble starting it last night, got it started up then it quit, unexpectedly. However this was off the power supply and the battery is depleted. Now it will not start up even after resetting the PMU. User isn't sure whether date and time has been off or not, he did say the battery's been getting more anemic about holding a charge. Is this a pram battery/PMU issue or a logic board failure?

Re: Getting satisfaction from Apple
I can second that. About a decae ago, I bought a 15 multiscan monitor (bundled with the best-forgotten Performa 6200) and after a month, the speakers stopped working. Apple sent a technician to my house, couldn't repair it, so they replaced it (this monitor was a replaceable, rather than serviceable item). Where it gets better is that after four more monitors, each replaced for different issues, Apple Customer Relations agreed to send me a different model, and I became the proud owner of the much higher-end AppleVision 1710. It gets better. My 1710 had serious flicker problems, and was replaced by an identical unit, with a different (color) problem. Customer relations appologized profusely and told me they would send a new rather than refurb replacement. The box that arrived was extremely heavy, because the AppleVision monitor inside was 20 rather than 17 inches.

I missed OS 9 until. . .
Hey folks, Just a reminder as to why OS X is so much better than OS 9. The other day, I had to do some file transfers and installs that required I boot under OS 9.2.2 on my Pismo. After boot, I noticed how fast the overall performance was, and how quickly some apps run, i.e., internet radio in iTunes etc. I also had a flash back if you will, with the neat sound effects in OS 9. That was it though. I quickly missed the pre-emptive multitasking that has made OS X the OS that it is today. For those who don't know, OS 9 has co-optive multitasking. This means that under OS 9, if an app. doesn't want to comply to whatever the multitasking needs that the user demands, then it doesn't have to. With OS X, the app. is forced to comply. . .no questions asked. The simple tasks I take for granted under OS X now made me realize that Apple is on the right track, and I waited far too long to upgrade to X. Just wanted to give my two cents on this subject. . .no need to start a huge thread over it. Zoltan THE BLUETOOTH (and WiFi) MASTER -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I hope this one goes through. -- I've been trying to create a live web link in email, both in Apple Mail and Entourage (MS Office X). I've looked at some HTML tutorials, and seen the underlying code when I receive a link like this: (I can't put in the code, since that will ensure that my message gets bounced again). What's visible is something like Click Here and the underlying code is a specific lengthy URL. The specific coding is something I got off of a good HTML tutorial (and works on the web, but not so far in email). But whenever I send an email with code like this, the actual code is visible (both for me in Mail and Entourage, even with View HTML enabled) and for other recipients. I use Mail almost exclusively, but I set up my account information in Entourage so I could try it out. In Entourage, I set up outgoing mail to be HTML. I even tried using open and close html tags in Mail, but it had no effect. When others send me a link with this type of code, it shows up properly for me in Mail (i.e., all you see is Click Here but clicking takes me to the correct web page in Safari). This is even true when people have copied what I wrote and sent it back to me. Someone else using Outlook Express said there's a button you can use to create links like this.

Printing and Wireless Connectivity
I am having trouble with my network and I don't even know what to call the problem I am having or where to search for answers. I have 3 devices I want to connect: a PowerBook G4 using airport (10.3.7), a BW G3 using an Ethernet cable (10.2.8), and an Apple LaserWriter 4/600PS using a serial to Ethernet bridge. I am using a SMC wireless router to connect them all (SMC2804WBRP-G). Here is my problem: 1. If I plug the printer into the wireless router the router does not recognize it and will not route print jobs to it. 2. If I plug the printer into my non-wireless router (SMC7004VBR) the printer is recognized and I can send print jobs but it is not wireless. 3. If I chain the two routers together by plugging one of the ports on the wireless router into the Wan port of the non-wireless router I can access the internet wirelessly but I can't print. 4, If I chain the two routers together by plugging one of the ports on the wireless router into a Lan port on the non-wireless router I can print but I can't access the internet wirelessly. Clearly there is some funky network stuff going on here but it is way out of my league. Any suggestions? Where do I look for help?

Power Inverters
Looked at power inverters for the first time ever. Seems an economical way to keep your iBook, iPod, and other devices powered on long road trips. Did a search and, among other hits, found this: The Vector 70 Watt Power Inverter was designed for the person on the go. It's an easy way to power up your portable gadgets while on the road. Converts your car's power adapter into an AC outlet and provides 70 watts of continuous AC power for notebooks, cell phones, PDAs and more. On sale for only $15, it seems too good to be true. Anyone use these things? Any warnings to pass on? Anything different than simply plugging your iBook into the wall socket at home? TIA, bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

New 12 PB
Well, I went and got my new 12 PB with SuperDrive this afternoon from the Apple Store in Pasadena CA. Actually, I called them earlier and was told that they only had the 15, so I went to look at it, but the 12 models got there about an hour before I did. As I am all finished with school, I thought that perhaps the 15 model would be a better fit, as I no longer truck my laptop all over the greater LA area day in and day out, but looking at them side by side, the 12 was just just so much sexier, and well, I couldn't resist. Part of it also was the EXTREMELY positive experience that I had with my previous 12 G4 (1.0 GHz), and while I'm sure that the 15 is just as reliable and well made, the 12 really fits the way I use a laptop. So far, I really don't notice much of a performance difference, although my 1GHz book already had a fast 5400RPM TravelStar drive like the new one does. There are small differences though. The new scrolling trackpad is very nice, and only took me about a minute to get used to (no more SideTrack driver), and the keyboard feels even better, if such a thing is possible. I'm scoring the keyboard as just production variance, but it is possible that somewhere in the last two years that Apple may have switched suppliers or just improved on the design, as the keys are both quieter and a little crisper in feel, VERY NICE. Everything else is about the same. I don't have any BT devices so I can't test the new BT speed. I'll install Knights of the Old Republic and Return to Castle Wolfenstein over the weekend and I'm sure the difference of 50% faster processor speed and double the VRAM will make a huge difference. In all, I cannot complain. With my student pricing (they gave it to me even though I graduated at the end of July) I ended up with a 1.5GHz, 80GB HD, SuperDrive and AirPort Extreme for the same price I paid for the 1GHz with a 40GB slow drive and the add-on AirPort Extreme card last year.

Re: Need help creating a live link in email
Almost, but not quite. I want a link that reads Click Here or some such thing, not something that looks like a URL. I want it to flow within the sentence. I know it's possible I see it all the time. It's a snap in Windows Outlook/Outlook Express. Even friends who barely know how to use a computer do it with ease. AOL has a little heart icon (or so I'm told; I haven't used it for many years) that makes it a snap. But it seems that in OS X, neither Mail nor Entourage can do this.
