Re: Panther and Canon digital Rebel

I had to jump through some web hoops before even being allowed to send them an email. I got a canned response that was not at all helpful (directing me to irrelevant tech documents). I was then allowed to send them an email, and got another canned response, advising me to do a couple of steps I'd already done. When I wrote back telling them that, I never heard from them again (except for a survey asking me what I thought of their tech support). I've repeatedly asked for further help, and not heard anything back. At this point, I'll have nothing to do with Canon again. My newspaper ordered a 50mm lens for our D10 and three weeks later the thing fell apart. Sent it back to Canon and they rejected to fix it. Reasons they listed: 1. Cost to fix would be more than the value of the lens. 2. They suspected abuse of equipment. I was there when it fell apart. The photographer just put the thing on the camera body, gave it the twist to lock it, and it fell in about three pieces. Me and photog had and have a good relationship; asked him if it had been dropped and told him I readlly didn't give a shoot one way or another; he said no, and I had good reason to believe him. So yeah, I'm ticked at Canon, too. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Apple iBook G4 or PowerBook G4?

I know the iBook is faster but I really like the look of the TiBook, and an AlBook is too before anyone asks. David. Have had a tiBook 667 for about 3 months and love it. Bought it refurbed from MacResQ for $1,299 (512 RAM, 30g hard drive, combo drive). Added an Airport card I already had (installation's pretty simple) that has a range as good as the Dell 80211.b card in my old Kanga. Only complaints are that the paint does flake some, the trackpad was more erratic than I liked until somebody reminded me to reset the ignore accidental trackpad input, and the keyboard layout is about 90 percent as good as I'd like it to be; it took a little getting used to but I've adjusted well. I also wish that it had at least a 5400 rpm hard drive instead of the 4200, and I'd prefer a SuperDrive instead of the combo but not for the amount of money it would cost. Also, I don't think iDVD will run on a 667, but since I can't burn DVDs right now, I'm not going to cry too much about it. The screen is beautiful, the form factor is impressive, and It's run flawlessly; installed Panther as soon as it was available, and in all that time, I have not had one single crash. Granted I don't use classic much on this 'book, but still, that's pretty impressive to me. I've run permission fixes a couple of times but that was just for regular maintenance. I love this machine. Right now they're selling for $1,100 to $1,200 on ebay, although if you've got the money I recommend going for a higher-speed processor (I'm a cheap bast- I mean, frugal guy, so I didn't want to part with more money :-) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Yet another argument for partitioning the hard drive into at least two parts. Partitioning is not the best answer. Making a backup that is not stored on the same physical device is. Burn DVD's or use an external HD. Most times all partitions will be lost at one time when a device fails. Very true, but if there was a backup of the data, there would be no need to try and retrieve the lost files with recovery software such as TechTool or Norton. When there is no backup available, as was the case in the original post, having a partition allows you to save the recovered files to another, separate segment of the HD without fear of overwriting other files you might still want to recover from the first partition. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
