Re: TV tuner for G4 PB
I'd like to record TV on my 15 G4 PB, OS 10.3.9 and am wondering what's the best tuner/software etc. A friend with a PC recorded a show for me and I can't say I'm impressed with the quality of either the video or the audio. If that's the best I can do, I won't bother. Any suggestions? Willi I have an EvolutionTV, from Miglia (www.miglia.com). It connects to my PB (TiBook 1GHz) via usb2 on a Cardbus Card (it *might* work in the regular usb1.1 ports of the TiBook, but I did not try it). It does hardware compression in MPEG2, DivX or MPEG4. It has an analog TV tuner and also composite and s-video inputs (great for finally digitizing those old tapes). You can do sheduled or live recordings, timeshift live tv and more. The video quality is outstanding and the software is constantly being updated. For the record, the EvolutionTV can also be driven with EyeTV software (at a cost), though [my limited knowledge of EyeTV not withstanding] I much prefer miglia's. Included are plugins that let you do basic editing (like removal of ads) and even creation of dvd's from with the EvolutionTV application.

Re: Cleaning keyboards.
Anne, I thinks it's better to use a vacuum cleaner; using the narrow nozzle. I had a keyboard develop problems (keys not working) from using compressed air to clean it.

Got a new Wallstreet and have some questions
Greetings. I finally managed to score a good deal on a 233/cache, 14.1 Wallstreet off E-bay. It arrived a couple of days ago in better condition than the E-bay seller advertised. Just goes to show that not everyone is a crook I suppose. Anyway, I have some questions. The display hinges seem kind of 'loose' in that the display has about an inch of free play when open. Is this a sign of the hinges getting ready to fail? If so, where is the best place to get them replaced/repaired? Also this PB came with only 32M ram, which I would like to expand. I understand that it uses SDR Sodimms the same as an early iMac. Correct? Or can any SDR sodimm be used up to 256m? Anybody tried a 512 sodimm in one of these? Is there a DVD module available that will work under OSX? Thanks for your help. Garry Hamblin Saskatoon SK. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Real computers
There was an article about a month or so ago where the author, reviewing several different Winders computers wrote 'And we've got work to do, so we can't use a Mac' Never let the truth interfere with a good story. If the truth be known; Just now trying to debug a windows box for a friend. Had heaps of viruses, (380 odd) including one (I think) that made the cursor jump over all the buttons so you could not click on them. Eventually got the viruses out, now still has spyware - and any time you click on a search for 'spyware remover' the browser crashes Now computer has crashed hard, looks like I need to reinstall system. The mouse on this thing has a 'warranty will be voided if broken' sticker over the plate that unscrews on the mouse bottom to let you clean the rollers. So you can't clean the rollers. They expect you to send it in for service - On 07/12/2005, at 3:30 AM, G-Books wrote: THe other thing that could be done with a tech person who says you need to use a real computer -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Backlit keyboard in Powerbook 12 hack
I was wondering if it would be possible to put a backlit keyboard from a Powerbook 15 or 17 in a 12 (867MHz). From what I understand, they are all the same size, just that the 12 doesn't have the ALS. If possible, the backlight could be controlled via the keys, correct?

Universal Power Cord for Powerbook and Dell?
Realizing that some of you also live in two worlds when it comes to computers, I wonder if someone here might have any experience with a universal AC power adaptor which would work both with a Powerbook (15 1.5Ghz) and an Inspiron 700m. I need a spare power cord for the Dell and thought I could do the ol' two-birds/one-stone thing. Thanks TjL -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Surely Windows is better in most situations than DOS, but the comment you quote reminds me of something I ran into years ago working in the commercial Nuclear industry. I had some spreadsheet work to do and the tool available in the office was Lotus 123. After struggling along for hours I told my boss I'd be done in minutes if I could use my Mac (at that time a Mac Plus). The IT folks were worried that I'd create a data island if I used Excel on the Mac. The short of it was that I brought my Mac to work, did the job(s) in short order and saved the spreadsheets as wk1 files (a Lotus 123 format for you young whipper-snappers ;-) ). No, I didn't win any converts that I know of, but using my real computer saved a lot of time and certainly aggravation on my part - and the IT guys learned something new too.

Lombard Battery
Hi, I just got my new Lombard 400 in, and the battery is completely dead. I left the thing plugged in for about 2 1/2 hours while I was at my band concert, and there was no change from the battery. It's still at 0% charge, according to OS X. Is there any way to make this thing work? My only other 'Book is a 190 with a NiMH battery, so I didn't have to worry about it, which is why I'm asking about the Lombard's Lithium Ion battery.
