Re: Improper off-list emails
Folks, you need to accept that not everyone will agree with what you're saying and get over it. No matter how hard you try to enforce your point, the other people are free to make their own opinions. No offense, but you need to accept the limitations of managing a list. You've no control or say in what one listmember may or may not send to another listmember off-list, and I'm sure many an argument/conversation that has been deemed off-topic has been taken off-list. This is exactly as it should be. We accept that list-moms and nannies have control over the list and keeping things on topic. We all understand the need for rules regarding messages to the list, but I'm confident that I'm old enough and competent enough to handle whatever someone sends me off-list, and if other members can't then they need to grow up. I truly enjoy being a member of this list and having access to the wealth of knowledge the members bring to the group. But, if you're going to get into a pissing match and start grabbing for control over what I send in private to one or two people on the list, then this isn't the list I want to belong to. Email is about the freedom and ease to communicate with people, for better or for worse. It's a freedom that everyone has access to no matter how smart or brain-dead they may be. Let's keep it that way. Hamlin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Improper off-list emails
So, nobody on this list really care if they start receiving OFFENSIVE emails? Well, I do care, for a starter and I think it's legitimate from other subscribers to care if the offender got their email address from the list. Sure it will bother me, but asking you to take care of the problem is like asking my mom to get the playground bullies off my back. Didn't work then, I doubt it would work now. Asking someone else to take care of my problem is becoming powerless. I get 30 spam messages a day, one or two more isn't going to make a difference to me. Gee! I would think that we're dealing with reasonable people here and I wouldn't have to do that kind of work. This list has been doing great since I've been the nanny compared to other lists on LEM. Can't we keep it that way? Is anybody opposed to this? I'm reasonable, and not opposed to an open forum (which is what I understood this list to be). I am opposed to anyone encroaching upon my freedom where unnecessary. I would not tolerate the government telling me to be careful what I say in email (let alone verbal conversations), and I'm not going to tolerate you telling me (or anyone) what they can or can't say off-list. Off-list is where off-topic emails are supposed to migrate. Now you're trying tell us that is no longer acceptable? Regardless of how offensive a conversation might get, sometimes things need saying. Plus, how do you decide what's offensive? Do you say that it's foul language, angry emails, or is it simply when one person feels offended (regardless of content)? It's a very loose concept.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
But Apple does have control where the serial port issue was concerned. And they chose not to write support for the serial port into the OS. And this was a major issue to a lot of people. Especially those who had big bucks wrapped up in peripherals (laser printers, scanners, cameras, modems) that suddenly wouldn't work anymore. With laser printers at least you do have other options. Most support a network protocol. For $60 on ebay you can pick up an appletalk to ethernet bridge. OS X has basic support for all printers (most printers will work from a generic driver), and you can add in the gimp print drivers (which add specific support for a great many legacy printers, so long as they are hooked up to a USB or ethernet port). Some standard serial port printers will also work with USB-serial adapters. Not all of them will, though. There are several adapters out there. Belkin makes a few. Can be had on ebay for around $30-45 used. These may also work for modems, though I am not sure. Go to the Belkin site for more info. IIRC, OS X will support the internal modems of older systems. Scanners are a different matter. Generally, the scanner maker is to blame if it doesn't work with OS X. It's up to them to write drivers. For instance, OS X supports my SCSI card but the driver for the scanner (a photoshop plugin) doesn't work. The reason is that with OS X, plugins/software don't talk directly to hardware (such as ports, PCI cards, etc.) the way they did in 9. It's up to the manufacturer to re-write the plugin. Digital cameras should also work with a serial-usb adapter. Not all of the will work this way. Depends on whether Apple has written in support directly to iPhoto. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer. Like scanners, it's their job to make this work. Not Apple's. Our only other choice was to trash our serial stuff, buy a USB card and USB peripherals, and hope they had drivers for X. Generally speaking, this isn't an issue. If you're at the store, it says right on the box if they support use in OS X. If you're buying online, you may need to research a little more. In either case, you should never ever have to purchase something before knowing it will work with OS X. Hamlin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I have to agree. In the end, class action suits only hurt both the company and the end user. Received information on another one against Apple many years ago. Forget what it was, but the originator got around $1000 or so, lawyers got millions, and I (along with several thousand others) was offered a whole $1.50. The only winners in these suits are the lawyers, always. Hamlin I received the full settlement report from the lawyers. As a mac supporter, I threw the hole thing in the trash. Class action suits benefit the law offices that file more than the actually participants since they get there cut from the over-all settlement amount, or their high fees are paid on top of the settlement. These law offices regularly seek ways to design a class action and then lobby for participants. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
The lawsuit started off with the Beige G3 support and grew from there (IIRC). The basic premise is that when apple stated that the computers in question met the minimum requirements for OS X, and that they (Apple) would support the OS on those computers that they were somehow making a claim that the OS would fully support all hardware features. Problem is, Apple only ever claimed that OS X would run on the computers in question and not that it would work with all hardware features (ie. the AV cards in Beige G3 systems). I think they also run into problems where not everyone who purchased OS X were able to get it to install on the computers. A good number of these can be attributed to additions/modifications that the installer is not expecting (or designed to work with). I don't know how this affects the laptops (as I mentioned, it installed fine on my Lombard), but on the Beige G3 it meant that if you'd installed any internal SCSI device then the OS probably wouldn't install.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I did follow the thread at the beginning before it turned into a class action. I think the original intent was to force Apple to complete the ATI RageLT driver so that those users would benefit from video hardware acceleration.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
It's a moot point in any case, since Apple never promised graphics acceleration (of any sort) on these older supported systems (nor was it ever planned). It got added as a compromise (on Apple's behalf) as a way of showing that they were willing to listen to user requests. Read the original release for 10.0, it says only that the OS will run on any computer that was sold with a G3 or G4. Hamlin Nope, sorry... don't buy that. There is an ATIRagePro.kext and ATIRageProGA.plugin (2D acceleration) and the GA plug wasn't even activated for the Lombard until 10.2.4, you needed a hack before that. The RagePro.kext refers to a non-existant ATIRageProGL.bundle for OpenGL acceleration. There is no 3D acceleration for the Rage Pro chips. The 128 Pro is NOT the same as the Rage Pro, but newer and appeared in the Pismos. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Red Hat vs YDL was Re: linux on lombard
I have an impression that Red Hat goes through frequent new builds. Is this true of the PPC versions? Also, (Don't laugh at my naivete) is Apple's processor going to be PPC much longer? Does the G5 and IBM's possible ongoing collaboration herald anything new on this front? Apple has no known plans to migrate to another processor. Doing so would require extensive re-working of OS X. Considering they've only been offering X for 3(?) years now, and are still optimizing the code, it doesn't even sound like a prudent thing to consider. I've heard OS X described as the best performing Unix/Linux GUI ever developed. In my opinion it is. Gnome always seems to rough around the edges. KDE is nice, and getting better with each release but it seems to be a little bulky and unresponsive at times, and it is difficult to get used to finding the various settings and system utilities (split between several different locations). Apple's GUI is reasonably responsive even on a 233MHz system, and the OS is blazingly easy to install (especially when compared to any flavor of Linux I've ever tried).

Re: G5
Actually 9 fans. 7 of which are designed to run at low speeds. As I recall, it also runs cooler (dissipates less heat) than similarly clocked G4s and uses less power. Apple has already stated that Laptops will remain G4 for a while yet. RE;look at the interior picture closely, I think those are plastic airflow chambers ,rather like funnels into the fans, 7 fans? are they serious?

Re: M/S Drops IE for Mac????
What the article isn't saying is that Microsoft is essentially stopping development on Internet Explorer in general! They haven't updated either their Windows browser nor the Mac browser for a forever, and they will also cease developing IE for Windows. The only browsers they are going to develop is their MSN browser (supposedly) and a system-based browser that will only appear in another couple of years. The whole thing smells funny, but I don't know why... It smells funny because Microsloth has decided this is the way to get around some of the remedies put upon them by the DOJ. Once they fully integrate the browser into the system, which is what they intend to do, they can no longer be said to be unfairly competing against other browsers. In other words, their browsers for Winblows will be so ingrained into the operating system that it won't be able to be considered a separate piece of software. Not surprising, when you consider it's already so close to that state now that if you uninstall the browser you cause major problems with the OS.

Spoofed email ( was OT virus or other mail return weirdness)
This is definitely not caused by a virus of any kind. It is a deliberate act performed by spammers. Spoofing is a big problem. Check the received lines in the full headers. Look for the first received header (should be farthest down the page). Then copy the complete message including headers into a new message. Send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (replacing the isp.com with the one you find in received), and cc it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the organization created to help police the internet). In the body, place a brief message explaining that your email address has been spoofed and that it appears to come from their (the ISP's) organization. The responses will be automatic. You won't get any personalized responses from either of them unless there is some further information required (or if you have not gotten to the originating ISP). If it's a US ISP, it should take a week or less before you stop seeing these returned mails. Every ISP has an abuse address. RE; Im getting tons of them also, I wonder if its a worm or virus thing? There is a new strin of Klez and Bugbear circulating since last week. Could have something to do with it. People are subbed to this list on PC's. Still strange, I have not seen anything hit my mailbox like that (I have read the virii warnings out there though). Hamlin -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Blank subject (was something more annoying)
I am not talking about your POP software but a different email service. -- Ryan Coleman System Administrator LEMLists.com The reason most people use the email service they have is because it comes with their ISP. Telling them that a valid solution is to change ISPs, or look for a crappy free email address (that usually means accessing through a browser) is not a solution. That's like Microsoft telling a customer that the reason his computer crashes is because he installed software on it, and if he just removes it or switches to the MS version everything will be just fine.

I really don't want to send the whole thing back to Apple (which is what they wanted me to do when I had lost one of the little screws in the lid, which luckily, I found again). The rubber piece appears to have a little nub on it which fits into a little indentation in the computer. That doesn't seem very secure. Would krazy glue be a really bad idea? I used rubber cement on my PB G3 Bronze. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that to be what was originally used. Seems to work pretty well for me.
