Re: Bluetooth Q
On Mon, 6 Feb 2006 21:01:52 -0800, David Rodriguez wrote I've got a bluetooth question for someone knowledgeable. I am using a G4 Ti book. I'd like to have a better voip connection with Skype and go 'wireless' . So I have been contemplating acquiring a bluetooth headset and bluetooth USB adapter. My question is this. Most of the bluetooth earpieces out there are bluetooth Version 1, which gives a 33' distance, but there are some bluetooth V. 2 adapters out there that work at 66'. So if the V2 adapter is transmitting at 66', will the V.1 earpiece work at that distance or be limited to 33'? Not to confuse Bluetooth version with USB versions. You are limited by the shortest ranged version, the short one could recieve the signal but transmitting wouldn't make it. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Mike K in central PA I think perhaps it is not the same as a mastercard itself. Maybe it varies with the bank. My bank indicated that if I got a product, even if dead/disabled, I had no claim thru MCard with my debit. If I got no box at all, then I had a claim. Fraud I think is different issue than I got a dead/broken/no product. I really had no gripe, was just checking once out of curiosity, so I had no reason to push and see what gave :) Anyway still be aware that going with a debit card, even with a mastercard logo, won't be as easy as using a regular mastercard if you have a problem, perhaps depending on your bank :) Better? :) thanks for the info-- -B -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Curing screen-scratches?
I've been sent some old P'Books (another Pismo another Wallstreet) and the soft acrylic LDC overlay that's used is particularly marred by screen-scratches. I was hoping that the one with the Pismo would be in good condition, but such is not the case. Has anyone figured out a way of removing the key-marks on the screen? Both the Pismos i have here, the marking is noticable even when the screen is lit up.
