Re: importing analog footage into Final Cut
I have used used the Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge to successfully import analog video (from a VHS tape) into iMovie. After cutting the scenes together, I was able to output the video to analog video (taped on my home VHS recorder because I don't have a DV recorder) and also creat a quicktime movie of the whole thing. It was easy to use and cheaper than buying a DV cam. It looks like Pinnacle has discontinued making them, but there are still some on ebay.

Electovaya PowerPad
I too have been curious about rebuilding/replacing the cells in my Pismo. After all the talk about the controller chip, white hot shooting shooting jets of lithium, I decided to bite the bullet and buy an Electrovaya Powerpad 160. It promises 16 hours of power on a full charge. So far, i've used it once for 6 hrs, and there was plenty of charge showing on the indicator. just my $0.02. = Doug Behr [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

One reason you're probably seeing less spam is that you have a new e-mail address... If your new address is posted on the web, it will be only a matter of time before it is harvested and the spam begins again. My primary e-mail address (and about two dozen forwarding aliases) appear all over my various web sites. Because of this I receive about 2000 UCE per month. I recently posted a totally fresh address (new address, new domain, etc) on a web site for which I've done from freelance work. I started receiving spam and virus infected e-mails on that address within 3 weeks of it appearing on the 'net. As far as I can tell, as long as there is e-mail, there will be spam. = Doug Behr [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo!

Electrovaya PowerPad
Is anyone using an Electrovaya powerpad (particularly the 160)? with a Pismo or other G3 or G4 laptop? my Pismo battery is pretty much useless (about 15-35 minutes per charge) and I think the hi-capacity of the powerpad will be useful for me. Aside from wondering what people's experiences are with the Powerpads (use time, convenience, general satisfaction, etc.) One more specific question, are any 160C users powering the Powerpad with their Yo-Yo adapters, or are you using the special electrovaya adapter. Elecctrovaya says their adapter is necessary with the 160C, but a local retailer has a great price on the pad (without the adapter and tells me that I can use my yo-yo). I haven't gotten word back from electrovaya yet, but wanted to see what experiences in the real world were. Thanks. = Doug Behr [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

After that, I ordered a HD from them and it took over four months to get a replacement after they initially sent a dead unit. A "plus one" and a "minus one" leaving me leaning toward negative. After my last experience, I vowed not to buy from them again, and have all taken my hardware and software biz elsewhere. I bought some desktop RAM from Crucial about 4 years ago and was very happy with that transaction...although I'd guess that their RAM is more expensive than OWC. Good Luck.
