Fire lite drive
Hi All Ok have a problem that seems to be boggling me, I use an external firelite drive to back up my powerbooks, It is partitioned in three parts one for my pismo one for my daughters pismo and one for the family ibook. This is used once a week for back up and that is it , Last night i plugged it in and it did not show up on the desk. so i went into the drive utility and it was seen as a 1.1TB firewire drive (thats a bit big as the drive is only 60gb in total). Now it does not show on any of the books desktops, but when i took the drive out of the case and put it in my pismo it is seen and i can boot to any of the drive images on the disk. Does this mean that the case has gone south (firewire one) and if so does anyone have any recommendations for what type of case to get to replace it. The drive is a 2.5 9.5 mm powerbook drive. vicki -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

If all the data is available when drive is moved to the Pismo and works fine it is possible there is a case problem. Depending on age of Firewire case it maybe under warranty. Best of luck.

News coverage via Mac
There is an interesting article in Editor and Publisher about how a newspaper in St. Petersburg, Florida, heavily using Macs, covered Katrina's damage in New Orleans. Newsroom in St. Pete was communicating with its reporters and photogs in NOLA using iChat. A stunning pix of damage was transmitted back to St Pete by a photog who parked in front of a hotel, picked up a wifi signal on his powerbook, and sent the pix over that.

Re: what's a good lap top cooler and question about Memorex travel drive
Hi, Just wondering what's a good laptop cooler. Anybody using the Targus Notebook Chillhub? (It's a cooler and a 4-Port Hub). The salesman at Best Buy said it was okay to use on a G4 iBook.but the back of the package does not say that it is okay for Mac under the system requirements section. I'm wondering if it is really Mac compatible. Also, I bought a Memorex 512 mg USB travel drive and it keeps turning my Mac files into PC files. The instructions that came with it says that there is no Mac drive needed. Guess I'm just supposed to use with a PC formating and forego Mac formating? Any thoughts? Jocelyn P.S.

Re: what's a good lap top cooler and question about Memorex travel drive
I was looking at these at Office Depot. But I decided against them because I'm a bit of an efficiency freak an I gather that what they do is blow air using the USB port power. So I would get lower battery life running a cooler. Decided it made more sense to just put the thing to sleep and let it cool off now and then.

Setup a folder on the Win2k box as a network share, and then do CMD+K from the Finder on the Mac (obviously) and type in smb://win2kbox/ but replace 'win2kbox' with the NetBIOS name of your Win2k box. It will ask you for your username, password, and domain (which should already be filled in). Enter the appropriate information (as if you were logging into the Win2k box) and then try printing again. That *should* do it, but as always, when dealing with Windows, no promises ;-) TjL -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
