AppleCare and my iBook (part 1)
Here's my rave/rant about AppleCare's repair of my iBook. A while back, I traded a router, PIII desktop and some other stuff for a white iBook 500 with a dead optical drive and some video problems (the backlight was bad). So I used it for a while with OS 9.2.2, which was installed when I got it. The display got worse and worse and worse until I couldn't take it anymore. I called Apple and waited for about 2 minutes before I got a tech. I gave the tech the serial number that was under the battery, and he told me that the iBook didn't exist. So I looked in the Apple System Profiler and got a different serial. This one worked. Weird. In any case, the tech told me that it was out of support and it would cost $49 to continue the call. I told him about the repair program (it's on Apple's website). He put me on hold for about seven minutes while he checked it out. When he came back, he set up the repair. I gave my name, number, addy, etc. Then he told me that they could replace the optical drive (combo) with a new one for no extra charge. I agreed to this. I received the box and shipped it back with a prepaid DHL label on it. Apple received the box, fixed my iBook and shipped it back the next day. I had my iBook back by the end of the week, with a new combo drive and a fixed display. But that was not the end of the problems. I took the iBook out of the box and noticed that the delete key was off. The tab on the delete key was broken. I called Apple and waited for five minutes this time. I got another tech and told him what was wrong. He told me that I needed to talk to a product specialist. I was back listening to the hold music for about 5 minutes, when the music stopped and the phone system kept saying please wait. I listened to this for ten minutes when the original tech came back on and introduced the product specialist. The product specialist sent me a new keyboard and I installed it.

Re: AppleCare and my iBook (part 1)
Hey, I wasn't complaining. You should look up rant and rave in a dictionary. From m-w.com: Rant: 1 : to talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner I was using the excited part of the def. Rave: 1 c : to talk with extreme enthusiasm raved about its beauty I see no complaining in the post what so ever.

Re: MAC verses Mac
You're right about the SI units, Dennis. From the NIST: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html but Because the SI prefixes strictly represent powers of 10, they should not be used to represent powers of 2. Thus, one kilobit, or 1 kbit, is 1000 bit and not 210 bit = 1024 bit. To alleviate this ambiguity, prefixes for binary multiples have been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for use in information technology. Here is the web site for the correct units http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html so a giagbyte is a GiB, not a gb, GB. gB, or a Gb. - Original Message - From: Dennis B.

Let me get this straight You trade a pile of junk get a iBook 500 with a bad optical drive and screen. 15 minutes on the phone, for Apple Care, free shipping both ways, get a new combo drive and the display is fixed and back in your hands within the week, plus another call and you get a free keyboard, so WTF is the problem and is they greatest deal story I ever got or is the the suspense of the hard drive going to blow us away. I would say your pretty damn lucky and if your posting this as the best deal I ever ripped Apple for, what you forget is there were thousands who had REAL problems and struggled with APPLE CARE for years so you could post this little tale. Nothing is gotten for free, especially Apple, this battle took 2 years or more of people who bought new iBooks and then had screen problems, keyboard problems and spent MONTHS, YEARS, fighting Apple to back up their products and while fighting had to struggle with a crappy computer or in some cases no computer. Apple is only friendly when the courts are on the butt. So enjoy your deal, complain about 15 minutes on the phone, just remember a LOT of people made it possible for you to get your freebies, what have you done lately to make life better.

Re: Dead Combo Drive
Sounds good. If one comes with another manufacturer's face, can i adapt it to work with the iBook? Also, is there a firmware that must be flashed? - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: G-Books [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2004 10:03 AM Subject: Re: Dead Combo Drive on 15/09/2004 03:25, G-Books at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: CJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dead Combo Drive Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2004 17:53:37 -0500 I've just received an iBook/500 (dual usb).

Check out the oft-mentioned xlr8yourmac Database under Drive Compatibility, then your model of iBook and Combo (drive type). IIRC the iBooks used a Toshiba drive, so may be best to look for one of those. Though it wasn't the original model (as it's newer and faster), the SD-R2512 comes to mind, as I've seen it on ebay in Europe for approx. 50-60 Euro new, on ebay in the US I think it's around $75 from legit sellers. Check xlr8yourmac for this and other Toshiba models, and don't forget to see how they did with swapping the Bezel from the original drive onto the new one. Good luck.

Re: Explain the 802.11b Card Description
The DS standard is older than 802.11B and slower (about 1mpbs). It does form the underpinning of 802.11B/G, although it is not used separately anymore. Found on CNET: The 802.11B standard, also known as Wi-Fi, has become the standard used by corporations. The other standard, called 802.11DS, is a standard that pre-dates 802.11B and runs slower. Hope I clarified it for you.

If I am interpreting what you are saying below correctly, it seems that there is a conflict between you are saying and what CJ said yesterday (quoted after your text for reference). He says that DS is an ancient standard, whereas you seem to be indicating that it is a current standard (used to describe how most 802.11b stuff works). Am I misinterpreting either, or both, of you? Distributed Spread Spectrum is a technical term used to describe how most 802.11b stuff works. Frequency hopping was used at one point but is more or less gone now. So if you also saw 802.11FH it would be a technical distinction rather than marketing fluff. Seeing as this RoamAbout Card sounds kind of old then the DS would be a quite relevant description.

Dead PowerBook G3 (WallStreet)
Hi, I need some advice. I am looking at a dead wallsteet for purchase. The owner says it the problem lies in the PMU or the sound/ac board. What's wrong with the unit? Thanks Quote: The PMU broke. The machine booted (to OS X) for about a week. I tried to turn it on one day and it wouldn't, it exhibited the same symptoms as before I had replaced the PMU. If you hook everything up internally, it will sometimes do a PMU reset (where the fan turns on and the screen flashes) when you press that key combination. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
