Re: iBook and high speed internet and cable splitter
Besides looking for a splitter that isn't cheap, you should know that most digital setups now want to run with splitters that will transfer at 1ghz... Go splitter shopping and tell me how many 1ghz splitters you find. You CAN find them, but your general run of the mill splitters that you pick up at walmart and whatnot are usually 800mhz. Cable internet and digital cable do not like running through an 800mhz splitter. Spend the extra effort looking for a 1ghz splitter and your results will be rewarded. I know Best Buy carries them, but they also carry the 800mhz variety as well (and quite a lot of them). You'll notice that the 1ghz splitters are usually quite a bit mroe money as well (ie ~$1.50 for a cheap splitter and more like ~$12.00 for a quality 1ghz one.) Sionnach __ Yahoo!

It's happened to me and I get a slight shock. Power supply is plugged in. I try to remember to discharge before I sit down, but it's easy to forget. If everything is plugged in, and you have a grounded outlet that is really grounded (only one in my house is), and Apple has done things right, then I'd think you'd ground thru the case, out the cord, to your house ground, and the static shoul follow that route from the case and all should be isolated from the sensitive bits. Too much of the case is plastic (even some of the metal). Even if it is metal it may not have a good connection to the power jack. And if the power supply has the two prong connector on it there is NO ground connection. Even in a desktop computer with a good ground and all you can have trouble. I knew a guy who had a Mac II that would restart sometimes when he touched the keyboard. The static caused a surge somewhere in the keyboard and triggered the restart. It is far better to discharge the static before you touch the computer. Touch some bare metal on the surge strip for example. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Titanium Hinge Replacement
David Rodriguez wrote: Thanks Bruce, I had googled but came up with a variety of 'experiences' so was hoping to receive some more first-hand feedback here. I guess the only other question I have for anyone is if there is any good or bad feedback on the Rev 1 Titaniums? In this case a G4 500. Dave I have a stock Ti 400; bought it new and put it through heavy use with absolutely no problems... no hinge or paint issues. It's been mobile almost every day of the week but I do treat it with tender care at all times. I've been thinking about a new computer but this Ti has been so good to me, rather than replace it, I might get a larger hard drive for it and purchase a new iMac (my mobil needs will be much less starting in 2006).

Re: Reminder about static electricity
I think the ground is the metal lug on the power supply that guides the plug insert.
