Many things
Firstly I have to say thanks Bruce for the advice re getting high quality output from Appleworks. In the print dialogue box, click on copies and pages, third down is Output Options - here you can save as pdf or as ps. Have just printed two large posters from pdfs - 2 sq metres each - and they are as sharp as a tack - no pixelation! 2. For the problem of editing pdfs, say filling out downloaded forms, I find Keynote does this very well - once you have adjusted the page size. Alignment tools are very handy for producing a very spiffy document. No loss of resolution, tho it does put a frame around the doc; will see if I can cure this next time. 3. I am doing a thesis on intellectual property. Around the middle of March, there was a story online about the high number of inventions that don't make it. It had a quote from one of the big wigs at Intel (may have been Gordon Moore) describing how one particular invention succeeded more by accident than anything else. He commented something to the effect that 'there must be many other inventions which don't make it' Does anybody recall this story? Possibly Newsweek, NYT, etc. I have searched bookmarks, histories, online - can't find it. I would be very grateful if anybody recalls this story and for any link etc. Thanks, Stuart. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Here's a fairly dumb question...
Opps. Did I imply that FAXstf is in the system? That is not the case. Apple delivers fax functionality in the system, but it is quite bare bone - you can send and receive faxes. When receiving, the faxes can be directed to a printer automatically or send to e-mail address. That is about it - check the System Preferences -- Print Fax for details of what can be set. You will find the number of rings in there. One warning though - when you send the fax make sure to save a copy as their fax does not do it for you. Also there is no confirmation that the fax was sent correctly - I guess the implied confirmation is that the fax goes away from the fax queue - which means that it was sent correctly. On 4/17/05 11:23 PM, Barton Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the info -- I didn't even know Apple bundled FAXstf with OS X, and I've been using OS X since first release... guess you gotta look for these things!

SV: European Powerbooks _ the last word
Hi Ben, All my PB's has had the schuko grounded plug (plug with two round pins and grounding on the sides). A lot of other things (like laptops) does not have the grounding though, but all Power Book cables has had it. I don't know how my new iBook's plug is though. It came with the white square power supply that looks just like my Airport Express Base, but the guy I bought it from had lost the plug. He preferred a longer cord, so he used a standard power cord. Neat how they now use a standard power cord with the small standard plug so you can just buy any power cord at places like the Radio Shack... Do you know if you can buy the plug for the white adapter, without buying a whole new adapter? My iBook is still in the hospital, poor thing. Checked status on it today though, and it said they planned to finish it tomorrow. Then they'll probably use a few days to get it here. I can't wait to get it back, I really hate using this PC. Only one good thing about it, I have got a bit more used to the awful little rubber pointing device it has...

Apple Airport Stuff - MAKE Magazine
Folks, Just got the first issue of a magazine called MAKE. Extremely Mac friendly and there is an excellent article on extending the range of your Airport Express while traveling or otherwise. Also, another good article on setting up a wireless MESH network for your home or office. A friend turned me on to this magazine and read it cover-to-cover over the weekend ... I highly recommend it!! -Bob- Bob Angell 1238 Fenway Avenue Salt Lake City, Utah 84102-3212 v: 801-583-8544; cell/pager: 801-706-2520 regular email: angellr *at* activepipes.com Had Momma Cass Karen Carpenter shared that ham sandwich, they might be with us today!

Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 05:46:21 +0900 Can anybody suggest a reliable auto back-up program or Applescript for OS X apps ? I am regularly adding new photos to iPhoto, as well as many new entries to iCal and my address book. I would really like to have a program/script that would automatically back up the new additions on a daily basis at a certain time. I use Apple's Backup to backup to an external FW drive. Works great. I think you have to be a .mac member to get it though. -patch I highly recommend SuperDuper!. It's the best backup app that I've tried, and the best part is that you can customize it in a million different ways. I've been using it for about 8 mos. and it hasn't let me down yet.

Lexmark 6170 all-in-one on Mac
Last year, after reading a couple reviews in Mac publications and Lexmark's promo literature, I got Such A Deal from BJ's that I bought a Lexmark 6170 printer/fax/copier/scanner/Bass-O-Matic... only to find when I got the pig home that there were no Mac drivers -- OS X or otherwise -- and both Lexmark tech support and several DLs told me there weren't any such drivers, and most likely never would be. I tried GIMP Print, with no success, the only thing remotely related to the problem I found was this: LOCAL TALK INTEGRATED NETWORK OPTION FOR 4039 OPT Price: $250.99 Mfr 1325494 This is an internal network adapter that adds AppleTalk interface capability for Lexmark printers. Which is LOT of money to have to run a printer in Classic mode. Anyone else have this problem? Better yet, has anyone found a solution?

You will find the number of rings in there. One warning though - when you send the fax make sure to save a copy as their fax does not do it for you.

Re: replacing optical drive in G4 iBook?
Avail yourself of the best deal in the world for replacing SuperDrives (and lots of other stuff: HDs, LCDs, etc.). Go to PowerBookResQ (part of MacResQ): http://www.powerbookresq.com/ and check out this, and many other, deals: PowerBookResQ 8x Dual-Layer SuperDrive 24 Hour Nationwide Full Service Upgrade for All G4 PowerBooks and G4 iBooks $289.00 When my SuperDrive went Tango Uniform, I called everyone from Apple's friendly tech-support (hello, Bangalore!), to our local friendly AppleStore (replace a WHAT, dewd?), to my friendly local Apple VAR (is that made by Macintosh? I think I've got some info buried here somewhere...). Apple Tech HQ in Bangalore quoted me $800.00 WITHOUT the drive. The saggers at the AppleStore quoted me $800.00 WITH the drive, and the Apple VAR is still digging through a midden of Sinclair ZX-80s, 286s, and disco lights. Somebody hipped me to PowerBookResQ (and NO, I'm not an employee, investor, creditor, or groupie -- well *maybe* a groupie -- for MacResQ), and I called them up. You can just do it online, but I had questions... MANY questions. They told me it was a good idea to back up any critical data, just in case, and I did. The very next day FedUp delivered an extremely sturdy pizza box with lots of customizable foam cutouts in it. I asked Mr. FedUp to tally a mo, popped my PBG4 in and off he went (did I mention that this is all pre-paid shipping, included in the price?). The next day I suffered through a whole day in the shop without iTunes or the net, but the next morning the pizza box came back with my PBG4, brand new Matsushita SuperDrive, and not a single piece of data missing. This was last September, so I wasn't able to take advantage of the dual-layer SD they're offering now, and it was actually a little more expensive -- $320 or thereabouts -- back then. Not a single hiccup since, and I (and YOU) get to keep the box, which is unbelievably robust. Considering the price of an Apple-firmware Dual Layer SuperDrive, this is the no-brainer of the century.

few newbie questions
Greetings g-listers, Some of you will know me from the P-book list which I've been on for ages, though mostly lurking for the past year or two. My very trusty PB1400c has been showing signs of strain, all fixable but enough to get in the way of work, so I recently found a Tibook 400 in fabulous condition for a good price. Decided to just get it and start the switch over A couple of newbie questions to help get me up to steam. 1) Will a 2.0 USB PC card port give me 2.0 speeds or is there an internal bottleneck? (How can you tell I've been using a 1400?) 2) As I understand it, any of the battery numbers for the 15 Tibooks (A1012/M6091/M8244/M8511) will work. Did they get better with time? 3) I take it the choice was either a CD-RW drive or a DVD-CD Rom, which is what I got. Is the swap easy? Is there a third party option to have both? 4) I've heard hinges are a problem for some? These ones seem fine. What happens? 5) Can I load OS9.1 straight onto it, then boot from it with a key combination? (It has 10.2.x and 9.2.x but old software might need 9.1 -- I'll see first if the software will run in classic. Anyone using Word 98 with Endnote 4 in classic?) 6) Any advice about things to watch out for would be appreciated. Best to you, Rick -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I ran into one problem with installing Endnote 6 on os x, it has to be installed by the same user who installed Office, or the installer fails on a permissions issue.

Re: replacing an optical drive in a G4 iBook
Thanks for the info on MacResQ. I had checked them out earlier. All I want is a new cd/cdr/dvd drive. The drive is available for $89. Paying MacResQ and additional $229 is out of the question. I understand there are a zillion screws and it is a tedious time consuming project but I would like to try it myself. So, I am back to my original query. If you have done this surgery perhaps you have some tips.

I think I've got some info buried here somewhere...). Apple Tech HQ in Bangalore quoted me $800.00 WITHOUT the drive. The saggers at the AppleStore quoted me $800.00 WITH the drive, and the Apple VAR is still digging through a midden of Sinclair ZX-80s, 286s, and disco lights. Somebody hipped me to PowerBookResQ (and NO, I'm not an employee, investor, creditor, or groupie -- well *maybe* a groupie -- for MacResQ), and I called them up. You can just do it online, but I had questions... MANY questions. They told me it was a good idea to back up any critical data, just in case, and I did. The very next day FedUp delivered an extremely sturdy pizza box with lots of customizable foam cutouts in it. I asked Mr. FedUp to tally a mo, popped my PBG4 in and off he went (did I mention that this is all pre-paid shipping, included in the price?). The next day I suffered through a whole day in the shop without iTunes or the net, but the next morning the pizza box came back with my PBG4, brand new Matsushita SuperDrive, and not a single piece of data missing. This was last September, so I wasn't able to take advantage of the dual-layer SD they're offering now, and it was actually a little more expensive -- $320 or thereabouts -- back then. Not a single hiccup since, and I (and YOU) get to keep the box, which is unbelievably robust. Considering the price of an Apple-firmware Dual Layer SuperDrive, this is the no-brainer of the century.

NVRAM reset and dead motherboard
Hello All, A coworker told me that he was about ready to get a new battery for his daughters Powerbook. He asked if there was any way to get more out of the battery she had before he plunked down $150 or so for a new one. Since I had some luck getting more time out of my Pismo battery, I told him to try what I had done. Here are the instructions I gave him: restart with command-option-O-F to bring up open firmware type reset-nvram type reset-all I got this from : http://www.macintouch.com/laptopbatt.html and it has been quoted here in G-Books as well. As I said, it gave my old battery a nice boost. However, things didn't go as smoothly for him. In fact, the laptop died and would not restart. Unfortunately he ran out of Applecare just a month or so ago. He took it in to a local Apple shop and they had to replace the motherboard. Cost him over $400. They said that it had nothing to do with my help, but I feel terrible about it. I remember several posting about this and nothing about any adverse affects. So... Could running these instructions fry a motherboard? I don't know exactly what type of Powerbook his daughter has. I could find out if needed. Thanks in advance for any info.

Re: sync
Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Kevin Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sync Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2005 20:40:36 -0400 Is there a cheap, inexpensive (actually that should read FREE) way of syncing a folder between a laptop and a tower? I would like to be able to take my laptop wherever, do some work and then when I come home and get back onto my LAN the machines automatically sync the changes or additions I've done. Or vice versawork on the tower, open the laptop to go and the folders sync. I tried a demo of You Synchronize awhile back and it trashed files that I didn't want trashed...and I really took my time to figure out how to do it., So, I either made a mistake or something was wrong. Of course, i emailed their support and get no response. Soany suggestions? thx -- Kevin Thomas www.kevinthomas.org Kevin, Take a look at SilverKeeper. I've been using it for about a year. Support was great, especially considering its free. I got a response the same day as my question. I use it for backup, but a quick read of the manual shows it has the capability to sync a folder between computers. Let me know how you like it if you give it a try.

When receiving, the faxes can be directed to a printer automatically or send to e-mail address. That is about it - check the System Preferences -- Print Fax for details of what can be set. You will find the number of rings in there. One warning though - when you send the fax make sure to save a copy as their fax does not do it for you. Also there is no confirmation that the fax was sent correctly - I guess the implied confirmation is that the fax goes away from the fax queue - which means that it was sent correctly. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: S Video Out 15AL (OS 10.3.9)TV?
Use the adapter cable that came with your machine and plug the 2 wires together, one end into the AlBook's S-video port the other into the yellow plug on your TV's aux input. Get a Stereo adapter cable with the stereo mini plug on one end and RCA plugs on the other. Plug the RCA ends into the red and white plugs on the Aux input next to the yellow plug. Plug the mini plug into the headphone port on your AlBook. Now you can watch DVDs on the big screen from your PowerBook. You can use the TV as an additional screen or mirror the PowerBook screen. That¹s how my kids watched DVDs while visiting the grandparents this past winter. It works great! John How do I feed the video from the S video out port on my 15 AL PB running 10.3.9 to a tv set?

Re: Network Printer options, Brother MFC 420 CN
I purchased the 2430 DL and it works perfectly. You really ought to research a printer before you buy it. This reminded me that I should report back on my printer experience. I had asked about inkjet printers here and on the Thinkpad list and based on several comments I got a Brother MFC 420 CN color printer, copier and fax. So far it prints over the wireless 80211b network from the Lombard G3 (OS 9.2) as well as over ethernet from the desktop that dare not speak it's name (WinXP). The Thinkpad didn't have enough disk space for the whole print/fax/scan software package but Brother was considerate enough to provide a non-network print/scan driver for direct USB connection. I haven't got the scanner or fax to work wirelessly on the Lombard though I haven't tried real hard. Facsimile shows up as an option in the Word98 print menu and the scanner shows up as a twain device in Graphic Converter. All in all I'm happy, the only downside seems to be the limited paper tray capacity (120 pages). This doesn't bother me since I don't print large amounts. Besides the printer is so small it sits on a corner of my desk which makes adding paper easy. -- Andrew in Ann Arbor -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
