Re: Clarification?
Dylan, you're right, they did have an option for a zip drive on the Quicksilvers. I didn't opt to get it because I thought they were on their way out. But the option was there.

Re: Clarification?
I can confirm that it will go in--I have a QS dual 800 and I put one in--but I have never figured out how to get the access door to open. So I added an external on top and use it. Need is about gone since I only have some old files archived on Zips. I would be interested if anybody can tell me how to access the internal door. At one point somebody indicated I needed a different front bezel??? but I couldn't figure it out.

Re: 12 Powerbook G4: an AppleCare and AppleStore assesment
All support agencies SUCK. I am a lot like the earlier poster that walks around with the cup half empty, expecting someone to take it from me. AppleCare == Insurance == Repairs == Cost Apple would rather you buy a new iPod for $300 dollars then replacement the $20 battery. Apple is not the only one guilty of this, any cell phone service provider is prof enough. Replacement Battery == $120 the replacement phone == $100. It costs money to provide an excellent level of support. Not good support, not expected support but excellent support. The entire world market boasts that the customer is #1 but they don't mean it. It's a crappy attempt at winning mark share by using a catch phrase. Why am I so bitter about support? I am a Support person my self and I deal with customers, sales people and other support people daily. I do so well at my job because everyone else does such a poor job. I believe the cause of support issues are TRAINING and PAY. To properly train someone and pay them enough to stay in a department that does nothing but generate COST does not make financial sense. It is better on paper to send all support to a 3rd world country and piss off customers then it is to fix the problem. Why train a person that is going to replace parts and rack up overtime for a customer that is not going to pay any additional money??? This is the short sighted attitude of the the BIG 3 that costs them market share daily. They say customer service is number one. WRONG!!! The share holders are number one, the poor fool buying the product is #5 and customer service doesn't make the top 100 list... Oh! my point before my vent... Local NetWork Support, nothing to do with apple My laptop can not get a DHCP address, it gets a default 169.X.X.X. I try a second laptop and a second ethernet drop. No DHCP, most likely a problem with the two laptops, two network drops or one DHCP server? The tech support person didn't understand why I was assigned a 169.X.X.X address (SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIS FIRST TIP OFF). The tech support person refused to comprehend why I tested a second laptop with no luck (SHOULD HAVE THANKED ME FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING THE PROBLEM). He had me re-install the network driver for my ethernet card, WOW that didn't fix it. He then dispatched a DELL service rep to replace the ethernet card on my laptop... After an hour they send a global e-mail to everyone saying they are experiencing network problems. AN E-MAIL!!! how am I supposted to get that E-MAIL??? osmoses?? The moral to the story If you have a problem, fix it your self!!! No one else cares!!! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

spilled water
Hello all: My niece called me today. Her daughter, a freshman in college spilled a soda on her keyboard. The tech support people said, of course, that it was not covered by applecare and will cost several hundred dollars to replace the motherboard, which they say was fried. I told her to check her homeowners insurance, but I don't think she has any other option. Am I missing anything? John Slavin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

John Slavin The trick to fixing this problem is keeping power of any kind away from the computer for at least a week while the wet areas dry. If you feel comfortable or know someone who can open it up to help dry it out, do so. The computer isn't destroyed. The damage could only be the keyboard. I've spilled Sprite on my Pismo several times over the years, and yet here I am, typing this email on it right now. You need to make sure the soda is removed from any internal components. I've used water to do this, with the idea that all power must be kept away from the parts for at least a week. Remember that with soda in general, the syrup elements in it can be more dangerous to the internal components than any other liquid. Once everything is dried out, put it all back together and hope for the best. For what it's worth, I used this method recently to recover my friend's cell phone, which had a glass of milk spilled on it.
