Re: Apple Mail

[Hal]

There is a free update for Entourage in Office v.X to allow integration 
with an Exchange server. My company does not use  pop-based email, so I 
was able to download the update and use this version of Entourage. I'm 
planning to switch to Office 2004, as soon as I get used to the new 
version/interface.

I have the original version of Office v. Mac. Do you all think
Entourage in that version might be worth switching to from Mail App or
is it only the 2004 edition that seems worth it?
We have an Exchange Server for our mail at work (LOTS of spam) and I'm
going to inherit a Pocket PC with a wireless card. I read mail
remotely on my Mac via my browser, but I'm wondering if anyone thinks
Apple will ever provide the integration some folk need. Or does the MS

immediate future?

Re: Transfer of saved e-mails/recommended e-mail app?

[Hal]

I'm in the process of migrating from Office v.X to 2004 and I believe 
that Entourage gives you the option to import data from a number of 
applications, including previous versions of Entourage. That said, I 
use Apple's Mail client as well and think they're both good tools. I 
need to use Entourage for integration with an Exchange server at work, 
and it's been great for that.

Good luck with the upgrade.

Re: Power Adapter for iBook

[Hal]

No, it doesn't. It uses the same adapter as the later white iBooks and 
Powerbook G4 models. These were available as a "yo-yo" adapter (early 
TiBooks) or as a small white square (later TiBooks and iBooks). The 
difference is that the connector is a smaller diameter than the one on 
the early iBooks and powerbook G3 models.

Hope that helps.

Re: Pismo HD

[Hal]

I agree. I personally had great experience with IMB.Hitachi's 
Travelstar drives in my Pismo. I think the Pismo will take up to a 
12.5mm high drive.

You will definitely notice a performance boost with the faster 
drive/larger cache.

Good luck.

A 5400 or even 7200 rpm drive will give you a

life (probably made up by the increased speed of disk
access).  Most importantly, the price difference
between 4200 and 5400 rpm dirves is about $20 for a
40GB, which makes choosing the faster drive a very
easy decision.  Another benefit on most faster drives
is a larger cache.  The 4200 rpm 40gb drive that came
in my PowerBook has only a 2mb cache, but the 5400 rpm
drive I replaced it with (80gb) has an 8mb cache,
which is probably responsible for as much of a speed
gain as the faster mechanism.

Re: PowerBook won't boot from Panther CD

If it's a current generation 15" Powerbook, and it came with 10.3.3,

Re: DV editing and dvd burning realistic on a Pismo?

[Hal]

iDVD doesn't support burning to external DVD-R drives, but there is a 
patch. I've used it successfully on a G4 Cube with an external firewire 
burner.

That said, I think the encoding will take a quite a bit longer on a 
Pismo G3 than on any G4. I'm not sure how well iMovie runs on a G3, so 
you'll have to play with it.

If this is not practical, I am considering upgrading to an iBook with

The 3500c is a bit different. Those can go anywhere from $100-300 on

Virtual memory and ramdoubler will give you minor relief, but not a

128MB or 192MB should do the trick.

Re: Buy new PowerBook or add a new PC?

[Hal]

I have a similar problem. Fortunately, I can get decent performance 
with VPC and am using it to run Win2k. In my case, the company's web 
proxy has some funky configuration that I can't get MacOSX to work 
with. The solution was to go to VPC. It works great. I even use OSX's 
built-in VPN client to connect to the company LAN when I'm out of the 
office, and use Entourage to connect with their exchange server. Then, 
when I'm in the office, I boot up Windoze and use Outlook. There are 
some functions that don't work well in Entourage yet...

If you have better than a 1gHz G4 you should be fine running Win2k in 
emulation. I was able to run Win98 in emulation fairly well on my 
Pismo, but that was under OS9. The OSX version has more overhead. I'd 
suggest trying to pick up a used G4 Powerbook or iBook and go from 
there. That'll be your least expensive solution.

Just my $0.02.

Now to the crux of the matter. Do I buy a PC and have 2 different types

I'll have more questions about that later. I know that G5 Books will

With that said, what are the chances of a revised G4 Book coming out

Re: ibook question

[Hal]

I had these exact same symptoms on my iBook (g3/900). I'd say with 90% 
confidence that it's your battery. I got mine replaced and it solved 
the problem.

Good luck.

does not seem to be working. I can get it to work plugging in the ac
adapter, but all I get is an X through the battery even though they are
installed. Can someone give me some info? Does that mean the battery is
shot or is it something else? When the adapter is plugged in the light
goes to amber for a second then turns green. Does that mean anything?
also is there a pram battery in it? If I don't leave it plugged in the
date goes back to 1/1/04. Please help! any info would be greatly
appreciated. I have worked on desktop macs for quite awhile but I do 
not
have much experience with the laptops.

Re: this is getting redundant, isnt it?

[Hal]

Just to be clear, you're waiting for a fix from Apple to allow their 
new OS to play DVDs on your 5 year old Powerbook?
I wouldn't hold my breath on that one...

I have a Lombard PowerBook and I can't play DVDs on OS

Apple suggest to boot on OS 9 (or OS 8.6) for DVD
Playback.
As I believe that is NOT a solution, I made the
following: I installed Jaguar and Panther from copies.
I'm not going to spend another cent on Apple's
Incomplete Software (I believe X is).
I will not pay again for Apple Software until this

Re: this is getting redundant, isnt it?

[Hal]

It's called "residual revenue".
Apple, like any company that is only going to sell you a major product 
every few years, needs to insure that they can make money on a regular 
basis. It's the same reason Microsoft updates Office every 2 years and 
makes just enough changes that if one person in your office gets the 
new version, everyone has to upgrade...

Seriously though, I've been impressed enough with the last 2 versions 
to pay retail for them... 10.2 and 10.3 have been pretty major 
upgrades. I hope 10.4 is as good.

Just my $0.02.

I am looking for a 12" iBook 600/700/800 with a CD/DVD drive and 
would like
to know what the going price for this setup is right now. I only need 
it for
traveling and have no interest in one of the new faster models.

Thanks

I think you'll have to rely on luck to find one of these. There 
weren't many 12" G3 iBooks with DVD drive; mostly they were fitted 
with plain CDs. This was one of the enhancements that came in with the 
G4 range. DVDs were available on the 14" G3 iBooks.

Actually, that's not entirely true. While the "low-end" iBooks were 
offered with CD only drives, there were 12" models with DVD or Combo 
drives available at every revision as well. I currently have a 600mHz 
and a 900mHz G3 iBook with Combo drives. They're readily available on 
eBay and are pretty cheap. Most of the ones left at resellers will be 
the CD version as they were the cheapest and slowest selling models. 
Apple kept them around to have an entry level machine at a good price 
point.

To be truthful, my feeling is that you'd be better off looking for a 
s/hand 12" G4 iBook; the 800 Mhz ones from the beginning of this year 
are beginning to show up s/hand now, and they are very, very good. 
Considerably better, IMHO, than the G3 iBooks: G4, of course; DVD; 
Airport Extreme; nicer keyboard; and it's believed they're free of the 
motherboard problems that have beset the G3 iBooks. They do cost a bit 
more, but one result of the reduction of new prices over the last 
couple of years is that second-hand prices have also been compressed; 
a 4 month-old 800Mhz G4 iBook won't cost that much more than a 
12-month old G3 iBook.

I'd have to agree with you here. You can probably get an 800mHz G4 
iBook for a few $$ more than an 800-900mHz G3 one. The benefits noted 
above are real as well. The only downside is that OS 9 is only 
available in Classic on the G4 models. Make sure you get a DVD version 
though. Apple made G4 CD only iBooks as well.

As far as I know the Powerbooks before the AlBooks (pismo, lombard

also non-FW800 Powermacs should.

Re: G3 900Mhz 12" iBook opinions

[Hal]

Pat,
I have a 900mHz G3 iBook and I love it. I was my "daily driver" until I 
got a great deal on a 1gHz TiBook. For most tasks, it's about 80-90% as 
fast as the TiBook and is much more portable. If I didn't have to use 
Virtual PC so much, I'd still be using the iBook every day. That's the 
only program I use daily that was just too slow on the iBook. I'm 
keeping it as my "back-up" and to use around the house as a spare.

I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I've been nothing but 
thrilled with my iBooks. We still have a 600mHz and 900mhz in the house 
and both work flawlessly.

As usual, your mileage may vary. :-)

If the only thing you want to do is make a copy, then you can use an
application like Toast which will make an exact duplicate, no quality 
lost.

If you want to import the songs from your CD into iTunes, then prior to
importing, go in the iTunes preferences, under "Importing". There, you 
can
select which encoder and what quality you want.

You could also copy the music in AIFF format to the hard drive, then 
burn it back to CD. AIFF is supported in iTunes an so is Apple's new 
"lossless encoding" format. AIFF is an uncompressed format and works 
great for this purpose. A friend of mine is a professional DJ and uses 
AIFF for his entire library.

Good luck.

Re: Taking the plunge

[Hal]

Congrats on the upgrade! You'll notice a nice performance boost.
From my perspective, you'll get a nice boost by upgrading the RAM 
(pulling the 128MB module and replacing it with a 512MB). You have a 
full year to get AppleCare, so unless you need the phone support (which 
is initially only 90 days), you have some time. You can elect it 
anytime during the first year warranty and it will add 2 years to the 
total time. It also extends the phone support from 90 days to the full 
3 years. In the end, I recommend it "just in case". You can often find 
ithe enrollment kits discounted online as well. I got mine 
(iBook-specific) for around $125 on one of the boards.

I'm a big fan of Airport, and highly recommend it. The Apple card isn't 
too expensive (and you can usually catch one on eBay). I really like 
the base stations as well, but if you don't need the external modem and 
antenna jacks, you might be able to get by with the new Airport 
Express. It' looks really slick and is a bit cheaper.

I have one each of the Airport Extreme base stations (with and without 
the external antenna jack) and they work great. I use one as a repeater 
to completely cover my house for wireless.

Good luck with the new hardware.

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design

[Hal]

Heh, I agree with you. I have an old PB180 that I still occasionally 
use.

I like the feel of the TiBook keyboard over the iBook (I have a 900mHz 
G3) and previous G3 Powerbooks. I had a rev. B 12" PBG4 that felt OK, 
but not a significant improvement from the Ti (IMHO). I also find that 
I make far more typos on the iBook than I did on the Ti, so I'm 
switching back to a Ti as my daily driver for a while.

No direct experience here.  But reading between the lines, I feel you

You nailed it pretty well there Al. I don't NEED to upgrade, but it'd 
be nice and I have some money I could spend. The bigger screen size is 
a "nice to have not need to have" for work...

I checked out the Small Dog site and it was helpful, particulary 
because they had a 1gHz TiBook with 1GB off ram for $1599. That seems 
like a good compromise for me. It'll be a bit faster than the iBook I 
have, has more memory, and I get the widescreen to watch movies on the 
road (traveling for work) without spending $2500.

I've had good luck with Small Dog before, so I'll give it a shot. 
Besides, I'm sure my wife will appreciate the upgrade from her 600mHz 
iBook to my 900mHz one. :-)

Advice on upgrading: iBook to Powerbook

[Hal]

Ok, I know this question has been beaten often been asked and has been 
discussed to death, but my interest is very specific, so hopefully 
someone can give me some specific insight.

I've been an member of the list for quite a while and have really 
valued the thoughts of the members and tried to contribute when I 
could. Unfortunately, I recently moved and there's no local Apple Store 
to go play with the new hardware, so I have to rely on your help 
here...

I currently use, as my daily machine for work/play, the last G3 iBook 
(12", 900mHz, 640MB ram, combo drive). I really like it a lot. It's got 
2.5 years of AppleCare left on it and it works great.

I'm in the process of changing jobs and am considering purchasing a new 
Powerbook (got a lump sum payment and am eyeing a new computer). I'm 
wondering if anyone has made the switch from a G3/800 or 900mHz or so 
iBook to a 1.25, 1.33 or 1.5gHz Powerbook and could share their 
experience. I briefly used a 1gHz 12" Powerbook and found the speed 
increase from this iBook to be very minimal if any in most 
applications. I found the benefits to be so marginal, I sold the 
Powerbook and stuck with the iBook. I also had a TiBook (800mHz) for 
quite a while and really liked it, but it wasn't much faster than the 
iBook and the iBook is far more durable than the Ti.

I use the computer for email, web browsing, Office apps, etc. I don't  
play games too much on it, as I have a 1.2gHz upgraded Cube with a 17" 
flat panel at home, and it works great. I do occasionally use Virtual 
PC and it's a little slow on the iBook, but certainly useable. I'm 
wondering if anyone has specific experience with VPC on a newer 
Powerbook as well.

I'm leaning towards the 15" Powerbook partly because the backlit 
keyboard is so cool, but also partly because I prefer ATI graphics 
chips. From what I've read, the 9700 is a great chip whereas the 
GeForce5200 in the 12" Powerbook is adequate, but nothing to write home 
about.

As I said, I'm doing the homework on this, but would really appreciate 
any advice. Also, if anyone has thoughts on ordering the 128MB graphics 
card or the 5400rpm hard drive options, I'd love to hear those as well. 
I'm considering the 15"/1.5 gHz/128MB VRAM/Superdrive/512MB single 
chip/80GB 5400rpm configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Re: ...broadband cable modems + Airport ???

[Hal]

I actually have Comcast's broadband service. I have their cable modem 
(they don't charge a fee for it) connected directly to an Airport 
Extreme base station. I connect my wireless and wired Macs directly to 
the base. There's a network ethernet port for conencting downstream 
Macs to the base and they share the same NAT pool (same subnet).

The Airport Extreme base provides NAT to wireless and wired clients, so 
there's no need for another router.

Comcast provides little Mac support, but they're better than some.
Hope this helps.

Hi Folks, I am looking at Comcast, broadband internet cable,  the only

one computer on my internet cable?  Where and how does a wireless 
device connect into this scheme?  I will get one IP address from 
Comcast so I will need a NAT equipped device to share the connection.  
Does the Airport do this?  Can one Mac connect via ethernet cable to 
the modem/router and another Mac use WiFi to share the connection?  
How about some Comcast approved brand name devices?  Thanks very much.

Re: ...Airports...early and late...

[Hal]

Sorry for the late reply. Actually the graphite and snow versions are 
the same speed.

The Airport Extreme base stations are faster. They also have an 
ethernet port for downstream networking, so you can use it as your 
router.

I have mine plugged directly into my cable modem, and connect all 4 
macs in my house via wireless. When I occasionally need to plug in a 
wired ethernet computer, I just plug it into the network port on the 
base.

You can set up Airport to provide NAT/DHCP over wired as well as 
wireless clients.

Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone, aside from the speed difference, are there any

with Panther 10.3.3, regular Airport card, and internet cable modems?  
As the Airport has only one RJ-45 port, can an ethernet switch be 
connected between the cable modem and the Airport to provide a place 
for a non-wireless Mac to connect to the network?
Thanks, Jim.

Sounds like a defective battery. You should bring it back to your

Good call, thanks. I called AppleCare and they're overnighting me a new

pre-paid box they're sending) there's no charge.

Go Apple!

"No Batteries Available" - iBook G3/900

Does anyone know what can cause this in this model?
The one way I've figured out to get it to see its battery is to pull 
it
out and snap it back it - a pain since it's on the bottom, plus it
doesn't work all the time any more (or for very long when it does
work).

I've tried restarting, resetting the PMU (using Apple's instructions
for this powerbook), and using the battery update software from 
Apple's
site (which isn't described as solving this problem - in fact, the I
only remember seeing the "x through the battery" problem mentioned in
conjunction with WallStreets, and couldn't find any mention of it
happening to Aluminum G4s).  None of these helped.

It should be under warranty still, and definitely has a CompUSA
extended warranty (I got the floor model from there), but CompUSA is
inconvenient to me - over an hour - and I wanted to know if anyone 
here
had an idea what the problem might be (battery? PMU? other?) before I
check out the local Apple repair site or hit the road for CompUSA.
How long did you have it? It could be the battery running out, but 
since
it's a 17", I would think something else is at cause, like the PMU.

As some one mentioned earlier, if you use Photoshop, then G4 makes a 
big difference because of the Altevec engine that it supports, which 
Photoshop 7. This will really give you a speed boost in that program.

A fair point. I have a desktop that I use for most Photoshop and video 
work. For day-to-day email, web surfing, word processing and even most

Significantly slower. They've ramped up the clock speeds to compensate

Re: Best laptop for $750?

I got a used 900mHz iBook G3 for a bit more than that on eBay, still

I'd go for something like that. I'ma Pismo fan as well (I've had 3 of

Re: VPC on a g4 12inch..

I concur. I run VPC with windows 2000 on an iBook 900mHz G3 without 
problems. I only use for a couple windows-specific apps that I need. No 
games.

I've been using VPC since version 3 on Powerbooks since the Wallstreet 
G3s. It's been a great solution.

I haven't tried XP on VPC yet, but I have used it on low-powered PC 
laptops.  On a Pentium II 300MHz, XP was acceptable, but only if all

2000 on that machine.  For example, I could play a DVD (PowerDVD 2.5 
- a software decoder) on 2000 and have it very watchable, while under 
XP with the same software it was a jittery, unwatchable stutter-fest. 
 VPC feels as fast as that 300MHz PII under some tasks, while other 
things just bog it down quickly.  I guess it depends on what part of 
the emulation it hits, and whether or not it needs virtual memory 
(emulation FAT32 to emulate RAM = slow).  I did install Windows Media 
Player 9 on VPC and while I can watch film clips (my school website), 
it is choppy generally not so great.  I'm thinking of making another 
"PC" with Windows 98SE and WMP 9 to get more speed, but will wait 
until I upgrade my memory and see if that helps enough (I hope).

My recommendation would be Windows 2000, as you won't use this for 
serious game play anyhow.

Re: Mail issues.

[Hal]

I have this same problem with Mail on my 900mHz iBook G3 under Panther 
10.3.2. It happens all the time. I usually have to quit mail and 
re-launch it and everything works for a while.

Any info or insight is appreciated.

Running OS X v, 10.3.2 on my 17" PB with Mail 1.3

Mail repeatedly asks for my password in spite of my asking to remember 
it. Had this problem a few week back but the trick advised by one of 
you guru's then does not work anymore.
This trick was: ~ library > keychain > thrashing the doc. with my 
small name on it, restarting and once more giving my password. Now I 
can only find a doc. with 'login.keychain' as title and thrashing this 
does not solve the issue.

Can anybody help me? Greetings, Andre.

Re: 9.2.2 boot doesn't mount OS X volume

[Hal]

If the OSX partition is the first one on the disk (i.e. was at the top 
of the list when you formatted the volume), you should be able to boot 
from that partition by holding down the 'D' key when rebooting the 
Powerbook. If I remember right, that attempts to boot from the first 
partition on the internal drive.

Also, doesn't the system look for an OSX boot volume if you hold down 
the 'X' key?

I'm pretty sure either of these should work. Anyone else confirm one or 
both?

Hope that helps.

Problem:  When I boot in 9.2.2, at startup I get a message suggesting 
I initialize an "unreadable" volume which turns out to be the OSX 
volume.  I click "no" of course, but that leaves me stranded in OS 
9.2.2 without a way to re-boot in OSX because, since it couldn't be

tried a bunch of stuff to find a way to mount the sucker, but failed

finally have had to choose "netboot" in the Startup Disk control panel 
from 9.2.2, which doesn't find a server after a few minutes, and then 
boots the newest system it can find on local volumes.

Anybody know what's going on here?  I'm tired of this issue.

FS: 12" PBG4 1gHz 768/40/Combo/Airport Extreme

[Hal]

I don't think I've used my "once a year personal sale" post to the 
list, so here goes. I also posted this to the swap-list, but not 
everyone here is on that list...

If you've already seen this listing there, please accept my apologies.

I'm selling my 12" Powerbook G4, and thought I'd hit the list before I 
hit eBay. It looks brand new and has never had any problems. I still 
have all the original accessories, CDs, manuals, paperwork, etc. It was 
purchased new in September 2003, so it's still under the original 
warranty and eligible for Applecare. I will include a copy of the 
original receipt for the Powerbook (dated 9/30/03), so you can have it 
for warranty purposes. The RAM and Airport Card were purchased 
separately, but I can't find the receipt for them.

Here are the specs:
Powerbook G4 12" 1gHz (DVI)
768MB ram (256MB base, 512MB in expansion slot)
40GB internal hard drive
Slot-loading combo (DVD/CDRW) drive
Apple Airport Extreme card installed.
Currently Running MacOS 10.3.2 (Panther)
It has all the usual specs of this machine (2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 Firewire 
port, 10/100 ethernet, mini-DVI video out, internal 56k modem, etc.) 
You can check Apple's website for the details. This is the current 
model. The display is clear, bright and sharp with no keyboard scuff 
marks on it. I used the Pixel Check LCD screen test software and could 
not find any bad/stuck/dark pixels. The display is perfect.

It is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. I've only rarely 
travelled with it, so there are no cosmetic blemishes and the battery 
holds a full charge.

I will ship the Powerbook in the original double-box, complete with all 
accessories, manuals, CDs and packing materials. I'll need a couple 
days to back up my data, and I can ship it as-configured or with the 
original factory software configuration, if the buyer wishes.

This Powerbook is currently $1599 at the Apple Store, plus $$ for the 
Airport Extreme card and memory (plus sales tax).
I'm asking $1600 plus shipping or best reasonable offer. I'll also 
throw in a sleeve-case (Mar-ware, I think), to keep it nice and safe. 
:-)

Basically you're getting $250 worth of upgrades in exchange for a 5 
month shorter warranty with no sales tax.

Please email me off-list if interested.

Re: Panther and the forgetful Personal File Sharing

I have the exact same problem with my G4 Cube running 10.3.2. I'd love

The setting for Personal File Sharing in the File Sharing system 
preference doesn't stick.  I'll turn it on then do a restart and poof, 
it's off.

Two of the machines are brand new and very clean (little or no third 
party stuff).  The other two had OS X recently installed and are 
likewise clean.

I can vaguely recall hearing something about this but of course that's 
about all I can recall about it, hearing of it.  File Sharing works 
fine and it starts up manually okay following a restart but that's not 
good.

All four are on either on a wireless or wired connection to a router 
(they are on two distinct networks).  I've set this up on OS X.2 with 
no problems.

Does anyone know about this?

Re: Moving to a PB

[Hal]

You could connect the computers using a firewire cable and firewire 
disk mode, and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy the entire drive. I've 
done this a few times when I've upgraded machines and it's worked 
great.

The one time I had  a problem, I booted the new computer off a Jaguar 
CD and did an Archive and Install to clean up the system folder, but it 
preserved all the data I had transferred.

Just my $0.02.

Not possible.  They are not interchangeable.
That's curious, any information as to why this might be? Apple didn't 
change the form factor at that point, so while I am not the person 
asking, it would be interesting to know why.

There were changes to the logic board layout that make them 
non-interchangeable. For example, the VGA port has been replaced with a 
DVI video port, not in exactly the same place. The display is 
different, so the internal wiring for it is probably also. The external 
form-factor is the same, but many of the internal components were 
changed.

This is not entirely accurate. I had a 600mHz iBook G3, a 12"  867mHz

The new 1gHz 12" Powerbook is significantly faster than the last

Odd Panther problem on 1gHz 12" PBG4

[Hal]

I've encountered a strange problem on my 1gHz Powerbook G4 since I 
installed Panther and upgraded to 10.3.2. When I close the lid and put 
the computer to sleep with applications running, it invariably crashed 
on wake. That is, when I open the lid to begin using it again, it 
crashed, sometime immediately, always within a minute or 2. I get the 
dim screen power symbol "Your computer has crashed, please reboot" 
message. I think this is referred to as a kernel panic. I though it 
might be my Kensington Mouseworks software, but removing it didn't 
help. The other 3rd party software I have installed (that I thought 
might be problematic) is Palm Desktop (for OSX) and PocketMac (syncs a 
PocketPC with iSync), but the problem existed before I installed these.

The G4 has 768MB of ram and was originally running 10.2.8 with no 
crashes ever. It is still completely stable and never crashes if I 
don't put it to sleep. When I bought Panther (retail) and did an 
upgrade install, the problem started. I've since done an archive and 
install to try to fix it, but nothing's changed. Any ideas on how to 
fix, or where I can look to see what's happening?

Any help is appreciated.

airport sharing under OS9?

[Hal]

Does anyone know if you can use "internet sharing" to share an airport 
network connection under OS( the way that you can under OSX? What I 
want to do is use the Airport card in the Powerbook to get it on the 
network, then bridge that network to a wired ethernet computer by 
connecting the 2.

Under OSX it's simple, I'm just wondering if it works under OS9.

Any info is appreciated.

Re: installing Panther

[Hal]

You can do an upgrade install and install panther right over jaguar 
(10.2). That's what I did and it works great.

Re: Lombard price?

Yes, it's a good deal if the laptop fits your needs. They don't go for

Re: VPC 6 on a Pismo/400

[Hal]

It really depends what guest OS you try to use. I can tell you that it 
won't run anything above Windows 98 well on that machine, but it will 
run. I ran VPC 5 and 6 on a 500mHz Pismo, and the performance was slow 
but acceptable emulating Win98. Running Windows 2000 was painfully 
slow. Completely unuseable. Interestingly enough, VPC with Win98 ran 
better on my 500mHz Pismo than on a 600mHz iBook. The cache makes a big 
difference.

I'm using Panther, which I really like, but Thoth 1.7.1 and Reunion 
8.04 now have some stability problems. While infrequent enough to be 
only mildly annoying has anyone else had any problem with these

Tom, what are you talking about?  iBooks have had DVD playback option 
for
years...
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was referring to the entry level 
12" iBook, which until this upgrade just had a CD drive, plus of 
course a G3. That was what my wife was looking at, and abouit 11 
months ago a used Pismo looked like a better deal - 14" screen, DVD 
player, etc, etc, for rather less money. With the latest upgrade the 
entry level iBook has come on a long way - G4, Combo-drive, 30 Gb 
disk, etc. I was just wondering if the differences in spec between the 
entry-level 12" iBook and the entry-level 12" Powerbook are worth the 
considerable difference in cost?

Powerbook: 1 Ghz CPU; extra video capability (non-mirrored monitor at 
different resolution); digital video out; 40 Gb HDD; umm - anything 
else?
iBook: 800 Mhz CPU; mirrored-video only; analogue output only; 30 Gb 
drive (as standard, 40 Gb available as 'build-to-order').

Pretty much everything else is much the same, as far as I can see.

I would have to argue that the Powerbook 12" is still a great option to 
have. I briefly had an 867mHz Powerbook G4 (12") and the difference 
between that and the new 1gHz model is HUGE. It is significant;y faster 
(the difference between 256k and 512k cache is quite noticeable).

The new iBook G4 is much closer in horsepower to the old 867 than the 
new 1gHz 12" Powerbook.

I upgraded from an 800mHz TiBook, and the 867mHz 12" Powerbook seemed 
slower overall than the TiBook. The new 1gHz version is much faster. I 
couldn't run VPC very well on the TiBook, but it runs great on the new 
12" Powerbook.

Just my $0.02.

It doesn't work. Why? Well, unless Ford is using a smaller rim size

just fine. If they don't fit this year, wait a few they probably will 
again. Each car company has a tendency to use a specific layout of 
posts for attaching lug nuts. I seriously doubt that Ford has changed 
theirs. For that matter there are only a few variances on the 
placement/number of posts within the industry. This hasn't changed in 
decades. So long as the tires are in good shape (doubtful if they're 
the originals), they can still be used. Now, automotive filters (of 
any type), that's a different story. These are changed regularly based 
on the shape and size of the engine compartment and the engine being 
used.

Actually, this happened in the mid 1980's. Ford released the Mustang 
SVO with wheels that were not compatible with other Mustangs, even ones 
made the same year. And everyone was pissed.

Anyone use toast to burn DVDs?

[Hal]

I'm trying to burn a DVD of about 2 hours of video. When I set it up in 
Toast, it tells me that I need 5.6GB of space to burn it, and the blank 
DVD-R only has 4.4GB. Has anyone used the more expensive double sided 
(9.2GB) DVD blanks on a Mac? I'm using a Pioneer mechanism (DVR-105, 
LaCie external firewire drive). I have Toast 6, and imported the DV 
files into iMovie via a firewire bridge.

Any help is appreciated.

Hal, you may be better off by doing your clone and then reinstalling

Good call. If the clone doesn't work right off, I'll try that. I should

12" PBG4 1gHz vs. TiBook G4/800?

[Hal]

Has anyone seen any benchmarks on a comparison of the new 12" 1gHz 
Powerbook with older models? I currently have a TiBook 800 DVI and am 
considering getting the new smaller model. I don't really need the 
larger screen anymore ( I have a 17" LCD on my desktop).

Any info is appreciated.

-Hal

P.S. If I make the switch, I'll be selling my loaded TiBook G4/800 DVI 
(Combo Drive, 1GB RAM, 40GB 5400RPM 8MB cache HD, Airport card). It has 
NO scratches, chips, dents, etc. It looks like it did the day I got it. 
It's also got another year and half of Applecare and all the original 
boxes, a TiHandle and a WF Designs sleeve. Anyone interested in it can 
email me off-list as well.

It is in good condition, with 2 exceptions. It has 2 cracks on the

the right rear corner (near the hinge). Neither crack affects
operation, they are cosmetic. Both are about 1-1.5 inches in length.
The top cover can easily be replaced, Powerbookguy.com sells the top
cover part for around $60, and can install it.
Other than the 2 cracks, I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. It has some wear
on the keycaps, but everything works great.
I'm asking $550 plus shipping.

I'm interested.  Still available?

It won't. The drivers you just attempted to pull off of the powerbook

figure out which drivers to pull back, they'd be in more than one

I suppose you could try to clone the drive from another OS9-compatible

What's the earliest OS the Pismo can run? (My 1400 HD
has OS 8.1 installed) Would there be a problem with
this?

FS: Pismo G3/500

[Hal]

I have a Powerbook G3/500 Pismo for sale. It has 128MB RAM, 20GB Hard 
Drive, Apple DVD module, 2 Apple Li-Ion batteries (both hold a good 
charge), weight saver module, Apple Yo-Yo AC Adapter. It has all the 
usual Pismo ports (2 firewire, 2 USB, 10/100 ethernet, modem, etc).

It currently has OS 9.2.2 installed with a few applications.

It is in good condition, with 2 exceptions. It has 2 cracks on the 
outside top case. One is near the left front corner, the other is near 
the right rear corner (near the hinge). Neither crack affects 
operation, they are cosmetic. Both are about 1-1.5 inches in length. 
The top cover can easily be replaced, Powerbookguy.com sells the top 
cover part for around $60, and can install it.

Other than the 2 cracks, I'd rate it an 8 out of 10. It has some wear 
on the keycaps, but everything works great.

I'm asking $550 plus shipping.

Does the "New World" ROM in RAM make the difference?

It shouldn't. I used to have a Lombard and I was able to boot it off of 
an external SCSI hard drive.

Re: hard case

[Hal]

I use a sleeve from Waterfield Designs in a Port laptop case. The 
sleeves are really great and I can't say enough good things about the 
company. It's not a hard case, but it provides very good protection.

Re: Attaching second display

[Hal]

You're correct. This is the adapter that you would use to connect an 
Apple ADC LCD display to your Powerbook (or any mac that has a DVI 
digital video connector). The reason that you need it is that the Apple 
LCD displays use a proprietary connector that carries digital video, 
USB and power to the display over a single cable. The DVI port on your 
powerbook carries only digital video. The adapter plugs into the back 
of the display and splits the ADC into video, USB and power. The 
adapter you are using right now just converts the connector on the back 
of your Powerbook from digital to analog VGA. It doesn't have to carry 
and split the other signals.

Hope that helps.

temperature range

[HAL]

I just got a 12" G4 PB and am using Temperature Monitor to monitor the 
CPU temp. I wanted to ask for feedback from list members using similar 
equipment as to what temperature ranges they are seeing. Also, is there 
any way to monitor CPU temp on a Titanium PB?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Low End Mac's Financial Crisis

Dan,

I signed up for a lowendmac.net mail account, but there's no 
documentation on setting up my client. Does the system send out a 
confirmation email to the primary email I listed with instructions?

best,
-Hal

To make a long story short, Low End Mac is about $6,000 in the hole due
to the collapse of ad rates in early 2001. Although ad rates have
recovered and we are pretty much breaking even today, we still have 
this
huge deficit that needs to be eliminated.

It wouldn't be urgent. I've been 3-4 months behind on payroll for a 
long
time, I've taken a part-time job in a local camera store, and our 
family
is just getting by from week to week.

However, we've just entered crisis mode. We've lived in our house for 9
years. Over that time, both my wife and I have endured significant 
income
reductions. Insurance and taxes have increased our house payments while
our income has dropped, and we have not been able to keep up on a lot 
of
small repairs.

No big deal. None of them endanger anyone -- until now. The city has
threatened to issue an arrest warrant and fine me because of some 
broken
cement, a storm door with no screen (we never use that door, but it
doesn't appear to matter), some branches touching the roof, and several
other minor repair items that put us in violation the Housing Code.

We just don't have the money. One of our sons had surgery, and our new
insurance meant we had to pick up part of the tab. Then our water 
heater
burst. Then the faucet on the kitchen sink broke and had to be 
replaced.
Little things keep coming up, and we're barely treading water 
financially.

I can't afford to go to jail, pay fines, or make these repairs. We are
attempting to refinance our home from a 9.0% mortgage to 6.2%, and 
we're
asking for some extra cash, but it won't be enough to cover the repairs
the city wants, reshingling the roof (which is desperately needed), and
taking care of some significant plumbing and electrical issues.

We're asking the Low End Mac community to help out.

For list members, signing up for a lemlists.com email address at 
$6/year
helps us and provides you a very low cost email address. For a bit 
more,
we also have lowendmac.net email addresses available, along with Web
space and other services.

I have decided to sell my 400 MHz PowerBook G4. It has 512 MB RAM and 
the
original 10 GB hard drive and DVD-ROM drive. The lid and screen were 
just
replaced under AppleCare, the keyboard was replaced some months ago, 
and
AppleCare coverage continues through January 31, 2004. $1,200 plus
shipping.

I also have two 333 MHz iMacs for sale. One has 320 MB RAM and the
original 6 GB hard drive. The other has 192 MB RAM (we tried more, but 
no
luck) and a 20 GB 7200 rpm drive. These include the original iMac
keyboard and round mouse. I'm trying to find copies of the original 
Rev.
D software CDs -- these were obtained used and did not include them. 
I'm
hoping to sell these for $400 each with local pickup. (I'd rather not
pack and ship these heavy beasties.)

We are also accepting donations via PayPal, the Amazon Honor System,
Kagi, and e-gold.

little wobble

[HAL]

Slight wobble in 12 inch G4 PB when sitting on a flat surface.
All four of the rubber feet are in, none missing. It appears that all 
are not even. When sitting on a flat surface 3 of the feet will touch 
but 1 doesn't. The one that doesn't touch is the one on the battery. 
The gap is very small - 1-2 mm. As I have the unit up on a tilt thingy 
most of the time it is not noticeable. I only noticed it last night 
when I placed it on my desk.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any cause for concern?
Thanks

Re: Virtual PC 95 and Airport?

little wobble (follow up)

[HAL]

See original post below for reference!

After further study and comparison with a 12 inch iBook and a 15 inch 
PowerBook I have determined the following:

1) No surface be it desk, countertop, coffee table, dining table,etc.is 
exactly level/flat across it's entire surface.
2) The 15 inch PB does not wobble at all on the same surfaces that the 
12 inch PB does.
3) Moving the 12 inch PowerBook around in various positions on the 
particular surface one finds spots where it wobbles and spots where it 
doesn't.
3) The 12 inch iBook wobbles in the same way as the 12 inch PowerBook 
on the same variety of surfaces which I sampled. Also, it doesn't 
wobble in the same places that the 12 inch PB doesn't when moved around.
4) The occasional wobbling (dependent on location on the particular 
surface) exhibited by the 12 inch PB & iB is due the fact that the 
smaller size accentuates the unevenness of the various surfaces.
5) The 15 inch PB used for comparison does not exhibit this wobbling 
due it's greater size/footprint, this causing it to be less sensitive 
to unevenness of the particular surface.
6) The position of the rubber feet on the 12 PB out near the very 
corners of the machine and their small size contribute to the perceived 
problem. In contrast the 12 inch iB feet are larger and better 
positioned which allows the iB to wobble slightly less than the 12 inch 
PB but it still does wobble in a similar fashion.

In closing I would ask that my study be 'peer reviewed' to help to 
confirm these findings. Move your 12 inch PB around on the table in 
various positions and you will surely see spots where it does wobble 
and spots where it does not.

I do not believe that there is anything wrong with our machines but 
there is definitely something wrong with our table tops. :o)

This issue was disconcerting to me so I decided to check it out 
further. I hope this helps anyone else who is having a similar issue or 
concern.

Thanks
William

bridging/extending airport networks

[Hal]

Anyone know a good/easy way to extend airport networks (not extreme) by 
using base stations as repeaters? I've heard that this is a standard 
feature in airport extreme, but I have the older model. I'm trying to 
extend my coverage to my whole house and my one graphite base station 
is coming up short. Besides, I need coverage in my backyard as well.

Any help is appreciated.

The Travelstar is a great drive, you can't go wrong there. I have one 
in each of my Powerbooks. If you can find one, get the 5400rpm 8mb 
cache model. It made a huge difference for me. The 66mHz bus speed and

Good to know. I was told otherwise (at an Apple retail store) when I 
looked into upgrading the hard drive on a 600mHz iBook I used to have.  
I was told that since the hard drive is not listed on this document, 
it's not "user upgradeable":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50031

Rather than find out the hard way that I was voiding the warranty, I 
upgraded by selling it. :-)

Keep in mind that the advice (that I gave in particular) was related to 
Powerbook (Pismo and TiBook) models. I know for a fact that the hard 
drive is NOT user-upgradeable in any iBook models. I'm only mentioning 
this because I saw in yout sig that you have an iBook 700. That's a lot 
tougher to upgrade and will void your warranty.

That's really strange. I know I used to use the MCE enclosure on G3 
Powerbooks. I'll have another bare drive later this week and will 
install it in the MCE Data Shuttle Extreme I have (Has PC Card and 
Firewire connection cables) and give it a try. I'll try it in both the 
Pismo and TiBook I have here and will report the findings.

I always liked these enclosures because i could use them to move data 
back and forth between powerbooks very quickly, and because I've used 
them as boot drives in a pinch.

I actually need to do this later this month to help my brother migrate 
from his Wallstreet to the TiBook I helped him get.

Potentially. Have you tried removing all but the original ram that came

Re: Booting from pccard?

[Hal]

Vicki,

The Data Shuttle I mentioned is a laptop hard drive mounted in an 
external case, connected to the powerbook via a PC card interface card 
(ide/pc card adapter). I got mine several years ago from MCE and have 
used it with a Wallstreet, a Lombard, a Pismo and a 2400c. It's bus 
powered, so you don't need an external power supply. I'm not sure if 
they still make them though. I just sold my spare on the swaplist.

Hope that helps.

Re: Hard drives

[Hal]

Are these enclosures bootable on the Mac? I've found that finding a 
bootable firewire enclosure (even with Oxford 911) is hit-and-miss.

Re: Booting from pccard?

[Hal]

Marc,

Under OSX there are invisible files that you can't copy using the 
Finder. The best way I've found to clone a drive so that it's bootable, 
is using Carbon Copy Cloner. You can get it from:
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html

I've used it extensively and had no problems.

good luck

Re: Booting from pccard?

[Hal]

What powerbook are you using? In theory, I think you should be able to 
clone the CD to the microdrive and boot from it. I've got a PC card 
data shuttle hard drive that I used to use to boot my Pismo and an 
older lombard.

The installers on disc 2 are just packages that can be installed later. 
Don't worry about them, you can just copy the packages and run them 
later.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Anyone need a 512mb ram chip for Ti?

[Hal]

I have an extra 512MB ram module, pulled from a 667mHz G4 available. 
It's a standard SO-DIMM PC133 chip, works great in any TiBook or recent 
iBook. It's a Samsung chip and was Apple OEM in one of our TiBooks.

Asking $95 plus shipping.

There's actually a couple within driving distance, so I'll give it a 
shot. I'll drop by the grove later this week. I just wish they'd hurry 
up and open the one in Santa Monica already...
