Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system
After a few months with my 15 G4 PowerBook, I so rarely fire up the Quicksilver that I've decided to try to use the Powerbook as my desktop system on the rare occasion that I need the luxury of my swivel chair and 21 CRT ... I love how the PowerBook works with the extended display and have been surprised at how cool it's been running with it... seemingly, cooler than using the PowerBook alone, though I can't imagine why that is, unless it's been my lap and not the machine generating the heat all this time :-/ ... I plan to run an external Firewire DVD-RW (the PB has a combo drive) and an external USB2 hard drive for storage of customer jobs, and have extended AppleCare ... If anyone here is using a PowerBook like this, I'd love to hear how it's working for you and any problems or surprises you've encountered. Are you using USB or Firewire hubs? External drives?

missing Laserwriter II NTX

Outlook Express: Deleted Items deletion quandry query. . .
Hi, Gang! I'm running Outlook Express 5.0.6 on my Wallstreet II with OS 9.2.2. Whenever I've purged the messages in the Deleted Items folder (by selecting the whole contents, and then pressing Delete), although they appear to be deleted and the Deleted Items folder has become empty, the available space on my hard drive doesn't increase. This holds true even after a subsequent restart. Even if I delete, say, 15,000 messages, I don't seem to have gained even a byte of storage space. Have you ever noticed this? Could it be that I should trash some preferences file(s) from the system folder? The three reasonable candidates seem to be OE 5.0 Update Preferences, OE 5.02 Update Preferences, and Outlook Express Prefs. Could there be some cache which isn't getting properly updated? I'm anxious for a way to regain perhaps 5 gigabytes of storage space I think should now be available to me on my crowded hard drive. If this is a problem which affects many Outlook Express users, a protocol for correcting it might benefit many. . . What do you suggest?

Re: G3 HD replacement.
Debra, From my experience, HD replacement in a Pismo is even easier than this. Heat shield yes, heat sink no, Airport card no, processor no. It is necessary to remove the aluminium heat (RF?) shield, but leave the heat sink and processor. You can carefully lift up the inboard end of the HD bracket (it may need to be squeezed a bit at the inner end), and you can pull it clear of the body. However, it is still attached to the main board so be careful not to pull on the cable. Undo the HD bracket from the drive, (4 torx) then carefully (little by little so as not to jerk the cable) ease the cable from the drive at its outer end. Sometimes its not clear where the cable and connector ends and the drive starts. However about 1/4 inch of the black plastic is the connector, which comes off with the cable. Then just put the new drive on in the same position / orientation, and put it all back together. There may be a small risk to the HD cable this way, but it saves the risk of removing heat sinks, processors, and airport cards, and also the HD cable at the main board.. But I'm not a techie. Anybody have any caveats (notwithstanding YMMV) about this? Good luck. On 23/05/2005, at 2:30 AM, G-Books wrote: Hi Debra, No worries. Swapping drives in the G3 powerbooks is pretty easy.

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system
I love how the PowerBook works with the extended display and have been surprised at how cool it's been running with it... seemingly, cooler than using the PowerBook alone, though I can't imagine why that is, unless it's been my lap and not the machine generating the heat all this time :-/ ...

I personally use a firewire hub and a usb hub to minimize the cable clutter, and because I had some minor issues with device chaining (I had an external DVD-RW drive, Isight, and 3 external firewire hard drives, plus an ipod all hooked up at once). It's worked out quite well for me. I have a small stand that my powerbook goes on.

I don't use an external monitor with mine, but that would certainly be an option that would work well.

TiBook power adapter problem ???
Yes, my questions keep coming... My wife's TiBook 400MHz has now developed a strange problem where all of a sudden the charger stops charging, the LED switches off and the PowerBook runs off the battery until it goes to sleep due to lack of battery power. When one unplugs and plugs the charger back in again, it starts to charge. It doesn't seem to be a loose connection as wiggling the adapter or plug makes no difference, only unplugging/re-plugging makes it charge again. ?!?

Re: TiBook power adapter problem ???
Based, unfortunately, on personal experience, you have a slowly dying power cable. You have about 8 months (give or take) from the when the problem initially began. To avoid buying an overpriced Apple replacement part, check web sites for a replacement cable. Also, my Book has the vertical stripes. Apple will NOT fix the problem.

You will need to replace the unit that runs from the Book to the adapter. On my unit, the cable from the adapter to the electric plug works fine. Because I dawdled on buying a replacement cable, I had to shell out $85 for a replacement Apple power cable. Hence, I have 2 units that have the long electric plug but only 1 cable that runs from the Book to the adapter. On the bright side, I unplug the cable at the adapter source and put the Book and the adapter into my bag because I keep one long electric cable at the house, one long electric cable at the office, and the plug only in my bag (just in case). -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: TiBook power adapter problem (update)
I only seem to be getting replies relating to the hardware, specifically crappy cables, but that does not explain why it only stops charging when the PowerBook is asleep. When it's running or off, it charges quite happily. I have read on the net about this only being an OS X issue and not OS 9, though this PowerBook doesn't have OS 9 installed (might do it just to see though).

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system
Been using my Ti500 as desktop system for over 4 years now. 2 firewire hard disk and 1 burner daisy chained. Use a Matias tactilepro keyboard with a Microsoft wirelss mouse. Recently hooked it up to a 20 in. Dell display works OK, but there is not enough video ram to run screen savers in iPhoto. Oh, well, guess I need a new PowerBook, other than that it has served me well. The DVI on the Dell is hooked up to a Mac Mini, so I switch back and forth PowerBook VGA to Mini DVI, even have a video recorder hooked in to the S plug, so I can switch to the TV also or use P in P. All the wires are a nightmare though. Love these PowerBooks. Brian -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mac OS X.3.9 on Wallstreet 233MHz?
Hi, Listers! I'm getting a Wallstreet with a 6 Gb HD, 288 Mb RAM, and 233 MHz G3. It's going to be used mainly for light Web browsing, and a few Excel spreadsheests. Nothing processor-intensive. I was wondering if OS X.3 would run OK on this machine, or if I should stay with OS 9.2.2. I have OS X.2, too. But I've grown acustomed (spell?) to OS X.3.9, it runs very well in my iMac 400 MHz with 320 Mb. Thank you for your input.

I think about how much better it would be if it could support more memory, but I've had some issues with larger memory. The sound of broken glass at startup with two different sticks that work in other computers. It did this with the original processor, too, a 233 like yours. I think that the processor upgrade would be worthwhile if you really like Panther more than Jaguar. This comp had issues with Jaguar; it ran more slowly, wouldn't wake from sleep, and it had some serious video issues (screen would turn blank, for example, or it would 'melt'). The upgrade to Panther fixed all those issues, but ran slowly until I upgraded the processor, not that it's blazing fast now, mind, but it runs quite well for my needs.

busted iBook
I tripped and fell on my iBook causing it to no longer function. Upon disassembly, I discovered the HD to be *bent* and shattered. In addition to that, the logic board is damaged as well. The damage is restricted to one IC which is located on the bottom of the board near where the HD ribbon attaches. What has happened is while the IC has remained attached to the board, the top of the IC popped off. I do not know much about IC, esp. how physical alterations will affect performance. If there is anyone in this group that does, your advice will be greatly appreciated. What I would like to do is blow it out to remove the moisture/dirt, and then glue the top back on. Is this possible or am I sol? Thanks. Russell -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Another Opinion wanted
Someone will probably disagree with me but I say go for the G3 if you want to use Jaguar or the G4 if you want to use Panther. Panther is more G4 optimised... If you want to use Photoshop or apps like that, go for the G4..
