Headsets

2005-03-08 Thread Peter Saint James
And I thought this would be simple.
	I want to buy a headset for my Powerbook G4 to use mostly for language 
programs.  I am finding many different kinds with many different prices 
and little explanation of what makes one better than another.

	What is the experience of people here as to specifications, features, 
and brands to look for?

TIA
Peter

External Antenna

2005-03-08 Thread Orlando Mac Geek
Has anyone had any experience in buildling your own external antenna
for a Titanium Powerbook Airport card?  Specifically I am looking for
any websites that might have instructions on building one.

Souped up G3 Wallstreet

2005-03-08 Thread Nima
Hell everyone:
I have a G3 Wallstreet (the roadkill) which I have upgraded with a 20 
gig HD, a Crescendo WS/G3 550 mghz board, 288 Ram, and have changed the 
screen from the bogus 12 inch to the decent 14.1...

I am running OS 10.1.5... Does anyone think I will have any issues 
installing 10.2.8? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
NBT

Re: OWC RAM?

2005-03-08 Thread Nick Marshall
I have a 512MB DIMM in my Tibook 667 and it has never given me any
problems.  It was purchased in july of 2003.  I also have a 120GB Mercury
Firewire drive that has performed perfectly also.  Plus they are fully behind
the Mac.  They do alot of compatibility testing and have a very
informative site.  

They have a great warranty and return policy so if you do get a bad chip, you
can get it replaced.

Pismo wireless

2005-03-08 Thread Bruce Ryan
Dear Listers
Can I tell you a shaggy dog story and then ask for some advice, 
please?  (If not, please just delete this mail!)

Got myself a 400MHz Pismo recently. Love it to bits for the look 
alone but I want to go wireless with it. (I have a wireless router 
that's accessed by my flatmate's PC and - via ethernet - my G4/400)

Fell for an eBay advert for an 802.11g cardbus card that apparently 
would work with a mac - and won the auction.  Here's the rub. The 
manufacturers say it will work with a mac but only under OSX.  OSX is 
slow enough on a G4/400MHz with 384MB RAM. I hate to think how slow 
it'll be on a G3/400 with 128MB. (I do have an extra 512MB and a 30GB 
hard disk arriving soon.)

So, do any of the assembled multitude have a clue if the card 
(Buffalo technology WLI-CB-G54A-3) can be jinxed into working under 
OS9?

Will OSX be as slow as I fear, even with the bigger hard disk and more RAM?
Is the delay in going wireless my karma for wanting to go faster than 802.11b?
Many thanks
Bruce

Re: Pismo wireless

2005-03-08 Thread Mark Edward Attew
OSX on my Pismo with a 400MHz G3 and 512 RAM was fast.
With the bluechip upgrade to 900MHz and 1 GB RAM it is even better, but even

Has anyone had any experience in buildling your own external antenna
for a Titanium Powerbook Airport card?  Specifically I am looking for
any websites that might have instructions on building one.
This is what I did:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/macdan/ti_antennae.html

It ain't pretty, but could be almost acceptable if one was a bit tidier 
with the application.

Lombard overheating?

2005-03-08 Thread alienbill
Normally I hardly hear the fan on my 333mhz Lombard, but sometimes after 
using it for awhile on my lap or bed the fan suddenly gets louder and warm 
air is pushed out the left side. This has not yet happened while using it 
on a desk. At first I'd panic and shut down as soon as possible. When I 
grew tired of this I started keeping it on but moving it onto a desk. 
Normally the exhaust fan then stops after a few minutes.

I suppose this is the computer's way of cooling itself when getting too 
hot? My question is, is this a normal thing I can ignore, or is it a 
warning to shut down for awhile?

Thanks for any information.

bill
