Re: Getting satisfaction from Apple
Amen, I've had apple replace so much stuff while being nice about it that it's really sold me on the company. The list includes three ipods, out of warranty, parts in a G3 bronze that wasn't originally mine, and was a year out of warranty(didn't even have apple care!) and the entire logic board out of my G4 desktop a month after apple care was up because of some flaky processor errors. I know not everyone can have a good experience, and I know i've certainly had my fair share of karma with getting hardware repairs, so thats why i'm on this list, in case someone comes along with a problem I can help out with ( = Wether you get applecare or not isn't my choice- but i've never been disappointed by getting it.

Re: New 12 PB
Other than watching movies, I just couldn't think of anything that the 15 would do appreciably better than the 12, while of course it wouldn't travel as well. There is also the price difference, with the 15 combo drive version costing about $300 more than the 12 superdive version. Finally, I already have a nice Brenthaven case for the 12, not to mention a second battery that I purchased barely 6-months-ago, neither of which would work with the 15. Andrew On 2/2/05 9:46 PM, Matt and Sue Halter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Congrats, I agree the 12 is a great combination of size and power. I always thought I'd want the 15 until I got to play with them in the Apple Store. I quickly warmed up to the 12. If I had the money I would buy one in a heartbeat. If Apple keeps lowering prices... Matt On Feb 2, 2005, at 11:18 PM, Andrew F. wrote: 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: iBook G4 ext Batt
On all the international flights I have been on I have *never* seen a power socket to plug up a laptop. Never. It has always made me wonder if they really exist, I have just assumed that they are for the first class. The flight is on a 747 on Quantis airlines. I have flown on Quantis on a 747 and haven't seen a socket, either. Thus this monster D-cell battery pack :) BTW, has anyone seen an Air socket on a flight before? Because I would really like to know...

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.

TiBook DVI 667 vs. AlBook 1GHz 12 ???
After all the thinking, contemplating and talking I have now got my 12 AlBook, the one with the dent and twisted chassis (not too bad damage as it happens). However, I have also got myself a TiBook DVI 667MHz, i.e. the 1280x854 revised model, with lots of cracked paint (= perfect repainting object). My question is, does anyone have a direct real world experience comparison between these two ? While the 12 is real neat, the 15 is something else, like this AlBook 15 (not mine, but work's)...

Re: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original
I have a kanga with a 5GB HD os 9.2.2 64MB Ram and it has to be one of the best laptops I have used. Only problem is finding the ram for it and the expansion bay the minimum for that would be floppy and CD. I don't use mine any ore due to the screen becoming cracked by my foot back in January of this year. But it was a great laptop with very little flaws but the flaws are there. It lacks USB ports but has Serial ADB and SCSI. Its proscessor is slower than a 250MHZ Wallstreet or even a 233 with L2 Wallstreet. If you are strapped for cash I recommend it it served me well and I have plans to replace its screen eventually.

Re: AirPort in TiBook ???
I would try and get your hands on one of the old Lucent Orinoco cards. I have one (sold under the Agere name) in my Kanga and the reception is even better than my 12 AlBook's. I believe you can get the same card on eBay under many names, including Dell TrueMobile or Proxim, just be careful on the Proxim cards because their new one won't work at all on a Mac. You will need a 3rd party driver for OSX or OS9, but this is easy to find, and if you go with the Orinoco card I can email it to you.

Nope, 32MB is stock. Speaking of which, if you aren't going to fix yours, how much would you want for the 32MB module inside, and even more important, how did you get 9.2.2 on there? I found links to hacks for Apple's updaters, but I guess Apple got wise and changed the updaters as it no longer works. Do you still have the hacked updaters for 9.1 and 9.2.2?

Re: AirPort in TiBook ???
Or maybe a USB adapter, memory stick style thing... ? If you're looking for cheap, and I mean REALLY cheap, go here and check this out: http://astro.temple.edu/~moshe/intersil/ I bought a 10 dollar Syntax USB-400 usb tab, just to try this out, and it works surprisingly well. Its cheap, and the drivers that come with it are windows, but no worries. D-Link has drivers that you can modify to recognize the Syntax instead, and it works just like D-Link's, only 1/3 the price. Its only 802.11b, but the range is pretty good and the price is awesome. However, if you aren't using OS X then this doesn't help much...

But in a couple of years Apple might stop using the current type of power adaptor plug and then you have to sink another 20 bucks to get another auto adaptor, whereas if you get an inverter you can keep it over the years, given it keeps running (it shouldn't die really soon, unless you have a 130 watt power adaptor or something :) To the original author of the thread, I guess it comes down to form vs wallet, whichever is better in your opinion.

Re: RE.: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original
The new PowerBooks should drop everything down in price. I got very lucky and sold my 1.0 GHz 12 (Combo Drive, AE and 80GB HD) the day before the new ones were announced and got $1000 for it, only $400 less than I paid for it a year ago (student pricing), and 2/3 the cost of the 12 SuperDrive model I'm typing this on now. Actually I sold my Pismo the day after which made up the rest of the shortage, so I got the new PB without spending any money at all, though going from two books to one. Guess I'll get another Lombard or Pismo in a few months to get back p to parity, though the Kanga isn't bad for now in the backup role.

Thanks, Mark -- I don't know if anyone here can help you just getting the printer to work on the wireless router or not, but number 4 is the correct way to connect the two routers (LAN - LAN). Though before you do that you are going to have to connect to the wired router, login, and turn off its DHCP server. That should fix your problems. That's because the wireless router when it sees you trying to access the Internet it tries to send it out the WAN port where there is nothing.

Some of the routers I've used do this, some don't. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting One issue might be that the SMC wireless router may not pass Appletalk through the wireless side.

As far as connecting the two routers, I have a similar setup - DSL to Linksys wired and then to DLink wireless. I run one of the Linksys out ports into one of the DLink out ports, and then it just bridges the wired side. You have to turn off the DHCP function of the wireless first.

Re: AirPort in TiBook ???
In 8.6 was actually easier to just install the Orinoco driver than to try and get AirPort installed, for me at least. Works like a champ either way, with far better reception than any other wifi card, built in or PCMCIA that I've ever used, including two 12 PowerBook G4s, a Pismo with original AirPort card, a Lombard with an 802.11g Belkin card and a PC using a 3Com PC card. At the opposite side of the house from my AE base station where the 12 G4 is alternating between one and two bars, the Orinoco utility shows a very strong signal. Across the street where the 12 G4 is constantly acquiring and dropping the signal, the Lucent card in the Kanga still shows about half strength and never cuts out. To make things better, supposedly you can attach an external antenna to the little plug on the antenna portion of the card (the plastic part that sticks out of the machine). If that's so, I would imagine reception could be significantly boosted over the already excellent range.

Re: Power Inverters
I've got one. I liked the fact that it was MUCH less than a car adapter for my Powerbook and would work with any device not just this Powerbook. As for warnings, I've found out that mine works much better if I turn it off and unplug it before I turn the car on/off. That just seems like a good idea as if there was going to be a power surge, that seems like the time when it would happen. Yes, it's bulkier, but I just stuffed it under the seat. No problems thus far. Timothy - Any suggestions on what specs to look for? I saw several today at a computer store and the wattage capacity varied considerably. For the record, I have no plans to power anything the size of a TV, only to charge up my iPod and G3 iBook.

Re: Power Inverters
Note that most of these will put out 110V, not 120V. For PowerBooks, that's not generally a problem as the PowerBook AC adapter is tolerant of 110V to 130V (or so). My portable CD player's AC adapter is not so tolerant... After an hour or two of being plugged in, the CD player overheated (I don't know exactly how, but it seems like the CD player was being fed too much power and the thing got REALLY hot where the power cord plugs in to the device). Mine's a Vector brand inverter, but I don't remember the exact wattage. More than 75W, I think. All things being equal, I'd go for a dedicated DC auto/air adapter instead of a DC-AC inverter - AC adapter. Given the prices of some of the PowerBook auto/air adapters, though, things are hardly ever equal...

Re: Power Inverters
I've been using DCAC inverters for about 15 years, for a wide variety of applications. They've come down quite a bit in price: I have one which originally cost over $20,000! Being able to purchase a creditable unit for less than $20. today, although they don't put out much wattage is amazing to me. For my money, and from my experience, they're one of the most useful electronic inventions ever. And, as Bobgir suggested, they're multifunctional. Many have more than one receptacle built in. One of the things to look for when you buy is to find a unit with a modified sine wave output, and which seems to have few restrictions on its recommended uses, given its wattage output. Most also will put out up to two to three times their rated wattage for short periods of time. Good units can dish out twice their rated wattage for maybe five to fifteen minutes, and three times their rated wattage for perhaps a few seconds, without tripping their circuit breakers. Good units also will shut themselves off when the battery they're drawing power from falls below a pre-determined voltage. Some of these products allow you to custom-set the minimum voltage left in the battery before the unit shuts down to protect the battery. This dramatically reduces the chance that you'll leave your battery with too little juice to re-start your vehicle if you've been using your inverter with the engine off. Incidentally, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can often be used as a combination battery and inverter (that's what it is, after all!) for a limited period of time, and can even be used for such functions as running power tools in the wild, should you ever need to do that, or if you have other portable needs for AC 120 volt (or even 240 volt AC with units with that voltage option) when there's no easy access to ordinary AC current, the type we have in our homes. Seems an economical way to keep your iBook, iPod, and other devices powered on long road trips. For the same price, its much safer to get an auto adapter for your laptop. Andrew Andrew - Thing is, with an inverter I could take along the iPod and charge it and one or the other of the iBooks and charge it too, and any other items I have that require batteries and have a charger.

Replacing RAM: PC100 vs PC133
I have a PB G4 400 MHz (Titanium Mercury) and want to upgrade my RAM. I currently have one 256 and one 128 Mb SIMM for a total of 384 Mb. Both SIMMs are PC100, whatever that means. I was thinking of replacing the 128 Mb with a 512, to yield 768 Mb. I have two questions: Can I just swap the 512 into the 128's (bottom) slot, or does the 512 need to go in the top slot and the old 256 into the bottom? Can I have one PC133 SIMM and one PC100, or do they both need to be the same? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I got a 300 watt inverter from WalMart several years ago...paid $40 for it and never had a problem...It will put out up to a total of 150 watts from each ac outlet...Has a built in fan and a low voltage thingy that shuts it off if the car battery is too low...I have run my iMac SE 400 and an Epson 740 printer off of it going down the highway in a van...Works great...Just got a 500 watt unit at WalMart after Christmas for $40 but haven't used it yet...The safest way to use one of these units is to start the car then plug in the inverter...plug in the ac plugs...turn on the inverter then turn on the appliances you are using one at a time...waiting a few seconds in between so the power draw is stabilized and then you are off and running...Shut down is the same...1 appliance at a time then the inverter itself...Took the 300 cross country...powered a 12 color tv and also the computer/printer combo w/out any problem..

Re: New 12 PB
I've lived with the 12 for over a year, and a number of other 1024X768 laptops before that (not to mention the older 800X600 and even 640X400 models), so I guess I'm used to the amount of real estate I have. I was seriously thinking about moving up to the 15 this time, but the small size and light weight won out again when I saw them side-by-side.

Re: Printing and Wireless Connectivity
G-Books wrote: I don't remember if the 4/600 could use IP printing, but that might be your option. The LaserWriter 4/600 PS is LocalTalk only, so far as I am aware. I have a 4/600 PS running on a wired network at my parents place using LocalTalk Bridge. We have a 7200/90 on the network which is around for the sole purpose of running LocalTalk Bridge 24/7. This setup works flawlessly. Of course, this is under 8.6 to 9.2.2, and it is wired. I am not sure if it would play nice with OS X. I don't see why it would not, though. The router on the network there is a LinkSys, and AppleTalk is officially not a supported protocol. I am running a Netgear on the network here, and it seems to play nice with AppleTalk to the NeXT Laser Printer. Again, wired network and my machine is running 9.2.2. The NeXTstation is running OPENSTEP and Columbia AppleTalk Protocol (CAPer by Frank Siegert). In effect, the NeXT spools print jobs from the Mac, and digests them for the printer, which hasn't got any brains. Since your problem is that WiFi doesn't like the AppleTalk, IP printing does seem like the logical solution. But, you can't give the 4/600 an IP address. Just a thought but, what if you were to try specifying the IP address of the host which the printer is physically plugged into (herein called hostof4/600PS) as the address for IP printing? If you run LocalTalk Bridge on hostof4/600PS, which I assume you are doing, I would think that it might work. The reason I think this is that with LocalTalk Bridge, you are printing to a printer that does not physically exist on the ethernet network anyhow. As long as the print request gets to hostof4/600PS, IMO LocalTalk Bridge should look after the rest. At least, that would seem logical ... which means it probably won't work.

Re: Replacing RAM: PC100 vs PC133

I currently have one 256 and one 128 Mb SIMM for a total of 384 Mb. Both SIMMs are PC100, whatever that means. I was thinking of replacing the 128 Mb with a 512, to yield 768 Mb. I have two questions: Can I just swap the 512 into the 128's (bottom) slot, or does the 512 need to go in the top slot and the old 256 into the bottom? Can I have one PC133 SIMM and one PC100, or do they both need to be the same? If both the 512 and the 128 are physically the same, then I believe you can swap them. I'm just not sure that the Titanium uses low profile SODIMMs. I believe that you can mix PC133 and PC100 together. That number refers to the memory speed, the larger the number, the faster the memory chip works. However, when you put a faster chip into a computer with a slower memory bus, then the memory downgrades its speed to match the computer speed. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fiber-seeking backhoe: [common among backbone ISP personnel] Any of a genus of large, disruptive machines which routinely cut critical backbone links, creating Internet outages and packet over air problems. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Where can I find a $15 auto adapter that is 75W and has a plug that fits my laptop? Warning! A power inverter is easily misused. Forget to unplug and you may have to buy a new battery. Plugging in before starting or forgetting to unplug before turning off your engine may cause damage. Devices such as heavy-start draw motors, etc. should not be used. In other words be very aware of the Power demand of what you plug in. Sorry if this is too obvious to most of you. But I have sinned in ignorance. As far as unplugging that sort of depends on how your car is wired. One of our cars turns off the power outlets with the key. Another turns off one with the key, the other is on continuously. That's the one you have to be careful about. IIRC all three inverters I have have a low voltage alarm. I had it trigger once when I was charging up some gear. I immediately turned the key to start up and the starter had to crank a little longer than usual. It worried me a touch as I wasn't exactly by the side of the road at the time. AM radios don't work well on them because the electrical noise is easily picked up by the radio. TVs can be a problem, depending on what type of power supply they have. An older power supply will pass the electrical noise through to the picture. It doesn't hurt anything but it makes for a bad picture. These devices are designed to be used by just about anybody so they are pretty tolerant. They have overload protection of the inverter, both an electronic kind that protects the inverter and a good old fashioned fuse to protect the wiring. One problem is if the inverter draws too much power from the car outlet and blows the fuse on the car. It won't hurt anything but it can possibly leave you high and dry. I have used the inverter with my laptop during start and shut off without damage. There really isn't much likely to cause damage with start up or shutoff. The power dipping during startup may cause the power to cut out but when powering a laptop it's not a big deal. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
