Damaged directory
There is damage (according to disk first aid) to the directory of my wallstreet running OS 9.2.2. Disk First aid cannot fix the problem and neither can Disk warrior.

Carbon Copy Cloner
Observation... I use CCC (carbon copy cloner) to backup my powerbook to a firewire external case. I use image backups because I can fit 3 or 4 backups on my external drive instead of just one. I backup it up once a week and have about a month of backup images. The CCC process was failing with a Bad File Descriptor error. After 2 weeks I figured out the problem. My external hard drive was too full to create a new image. Instead of saying FULL TARGET DRIVE it gave me the Bad File Descriptor error. Just a heads up. I was worried that my powerbook hard drive was corrupted... and I did not have a recent backup... Remember - ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR DATA... -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Carbon Copy Cloner
How about another reminder -- ALWAYS run disk utilities on your backup drives (Disk Utility, DiskWarrior, etc.). While I had been doing this quite regularly on my internal drive, for some reason I spaced out doing this on my external backup drive. When the time came to restore from that backup, I found that it was too corrupted. Following that, I have become really thorough. Not only do I run DiskWarrior regularly, but I bought two more external drives, and rotate them, keeping one off-site at all times.

15' Wallstreet
Laurent, I had to customize my Wallstreet (I grew out of the 14 inch screen almost as fast as the jeans I wore in college). It took some tinkering with the casing just to get the new screen in (lots of shaving and adding an titanium strip around the edges that aligns with the new titanium strip on the bottom panel). Mind you I was simply following the instructions of a friend. I gave it to him and I don't know how but he managed to get the video card and the video RAM up to standards enough to push this screen into working order, as well as maintaining decent backlighting. I'm not sure what else he did but he does work for Disney and they wish on a lot of stars, so who knows. Either that or I just hit the '5' key instead of '4'. I'll have to measure. :) Edward Date: Tue, 17 May 2005 15:01:14 -0400 Subject: Re: Wallstreet Tiger From: Laurent Daudelin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 17/05/05 14:59, Edward Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [snip!] Powerbook Wallstreet 15 PowerBook Wallstreet 15?

Upgrade my Wallstreet?
I have a G3 wallstreet and I would like to bring it more update. I would like to get it a faster processor (make it as fast as a G4), a bigger hard drive, a wireless card, a more current OS, a usb port that supports a pen drive and other peripherals. oh, and the power button is on the fritz because it take pushing it down real hard to get it going. I don't want to do this myself. I would like to ship it out and have all this done. What do these kind of upgrades cost? I know it is cheaper to buy all the different bits needed and do it myself, but I don't have the patience. Is it worth it or should I just save up to buy a newer machine? Can anyone recommend an upgrade service place that is reasonsable and reliable? Thanks Athena Nazario -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Auto adapter revised
I think the laptop auto adapters are too expensive. It's much cheaper to buy a small 120v AC inverter than fits your lighter plug that's larger wattage than your regular wall charger and then use your regular charger in the car. Sam's Club has 70-watt inverters for $13.24 each. You can also use other AC devices such as mobile phone chargers or GPS or iPod, etc. See: http://tinyurl.com/8onkt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Auto adapter revised
Inverters work, but are a clunky solution at best. Auto adapters for laptops are a bit pricey, but are also sleek and compact, and usually have interchangeable tips so you can use them on your current PowerBook and also on whatever you might be using next year. There are also for a bit more $$ universal adapters that work on AC AND DC. I have the Kensington and leave the car cord in my glove box and carry the adapter in my PowerBook case with the AC cord attached. This also has interchangeable tips, so I can also use it with my ThinkPad when I plan on gaming on the road.
