Onyx Question
Based on an earlier thread I downloaded Onyx to do some house keeping. I have run it twice and each time it asks for my system password. Is that usual? I know that to install software I get asked to provide the PW, so I know I'm open to comment as to what am I worried about, but this constant request for the PW concerns me. I suspect that Onyx needs the PW to work with the system files and the fact that I have to enter the PW is indicative that the software does not save the PW.

Re: Onyx Question
That is 100% normal. Yep, you're exactly right. Onyx needs the password to be able to mess with system files, and the fact that you have to re-enter it means that it does in fact not save the password.

Don't worry about the future, by then a g (or n, x, y or z) router will likely be cheaper than what a b is now. You probably won't find any routers that are just 802.11b - g is pretty much the standard and compatible with the Airport card in your iBook. n is becoming the new standard but isn't 'standard' yet. I steer people away from Linksys, I've heard bad things about their reliability and features. D-Link seems okay as is Netgear. Oh boy do I agree here. We completely stopped carrying Linksys products this year due to their flaky wireless routers. We recommend Netgear highly as well as Apples Airport stations for the technophobes. The airport station is one of those areas where Apple deserves its reputation for high price - they are very high priced compared to other wireless stations. But there is something to be said for one stop support. There is nothing worse then getting stuck on the Support Merry Go Round of - you'll need to talk to Apple about that problem - you'll need to talk to XYZ about that problem. I'd also recommend just powering the unit up, plugging it into your network and then trying it out with your iBook. But do be sure to turn security on soon afterwards. cheers david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Somewhere in the long ago, I recall some expert stating that every 2 or 3 years, one should backup the hard drive and then reformat it. Well... Formatting ain't gonna happen on an IDE drive. Apple doesn't support that (and they're right - it's not necessary). But you can zero it ... which writes and reads every block on the drive. This forces remaps if a sector has gone bad. Better to remap a zeroed sector than one with your good data on it. And, of course, the reload after a fresh initialization insures your data is unfragmented. I am going to install panther on the iBook and am wondering if I should reformat the drive before I do this. +/- the above, I would. Also, will I be able to use the same administrator's password, etc? In short, is it more trouble than it is worth to reformat the drive? After three years, I think zero'ing is worth the effort.

Re: Superdrive Question?
I'd suggest either a Pioneer DVR-K05 or Matshita/Panasonic UJ-845, either will work great. I chose for my TiBook the Pioneer unit, under US$90 (shipped) from zipzoomfly: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=171021 or from meritline for US$90: http://www.meritline.com/pioneer-dvr-k-05-slim-8x-dual-layer-dvd-burner-dr ive.html meritline also has the UJ-845: http://www.meritline.com/panasonic-uj-845-b-8x-slim-dvd-drive-bundle-nero- suite-software-pc.html Reading DVDs and CDs uses the same lens, but with separate lasers. I'd try a light shot of compressed air on the lens before tossing the drive. It's quite common for a bit of dust on the lens to foil proper operation with one media and not the other. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 . -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

The correct, _original_ Murphy's Law reads: If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it. This is a principle of defensive design, cited here because it is usually given in mutant forms less descriptive of the challenges of design for lusers. Edward A. Murphy, Jr. was one of the engineers on the rocket-sled experiments that were done by the U.S. Air Force in 1949 to test human acceleration tolerances. One experiment involved a set of 16 accelerometers mounted to different parts of the subject's body. There were two ways each sensor could be glued to its mount, and somebody methodically installed all 16 the wrong way around. Murphy then made the original form of his pronouncement, which the test subject quoted at a news conference a few days later. Before too many years had gone by variants had passed into the popular imagination, changing as they went. Most of these are variants on Anything that can go wrong, will; this is correctly referred to as Finagle's Law. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Airport Question
That's what I was getting at. Plus, as far as my bespectacled eyes can tell, the box says Designed for Microsoft Windows XP on most, if not all of their products. That's enough to make me look the other way. No blue X = not buying...

Re: Airport Question
Generally routers works fine for both PC and Mac but manufacturers had the habit of putting in their box that product works ok with Windows -- XP etc and no mention that it works ok with Mac. Perhaps they are not targeting Mac users as their clients. Clem On Dec 22, 2005, at 10:40 PM, Caleb Cupples wrote: That's what I was getting at.
