MAC Re: Western Digital external hard drive help
20040210 First thing to do is take it back to the store and ask for a replacement (they're usually more willing to replace than refund). If that doesn't work then you could try finding a program to low-level it. I don't know of any such programs on the Mac but if you have a friend with a PC then a program like Max LLF would do the trick.

POL Re: [OT] Latin
20040205 As a youth I was taken to meet Jimmy Hoffa by an older friend. They had grown up together and worked together in their youth. They had gone their separate ways in terms of business but remained friends. I saw the sign on his desk, in Latin, and asked what it meant. He replied: Don't let the bastards wear you down. The English stuck with me but not the Latin. The friend who took me was a successful businessman who told me that no matter what anyone said, he thought Jimmy Hoffa was a great man, that Hoffa had taken teamsters from being treated like scum by the employers and turned the job into a way to make a good living. My friend believed it would never have happened but for Hoffa. Bruce Caution. Good sentiment but caution. I'm in the restaurant business and have exposure to owners of various ethnic derivations many of whom are reputed to have organized crime connections. They are charming people but I have no illusions, and I do NOT admire them. Jimmy Hoffa may well have helped the Teamsters but at what price to their reputation? Remember the Faustian bargain. To bring it back to computers...we seem to have come into an era of low inflation and real bargains in technology, and in fact we seem to get more and pay less all the time. But is anyone really satisfied with the state of tech support these days, for example? Something has to give and it's usually US. Oh, BTW, I had 3 years of HSchool Latin, 2 were under a lovely lady named Mrs Aldridge who had a masters from Columbia and studied under Moses Hadas, foremost Latin scholar of the last century.

MAC NWKG MR Re: ethernet port
20031121 Have just set up a little three computer network in the house... picked up a D-Link router and a ton of cable. Although nothing was easy (except running cable) in the set up, i got it working. Found that the G3 Lombard was losing the connection every few minutes and nothing i would do seemed to reconnect other then rebooting (and sometimes that didn't work) All my settings were right, etc etc... As a last resort i put a tiny bit of pressure on the ethernet cable plug at the rear of the machine... That was the problem... the connection could be moved and my router lights would come on and go offA tiny cardboard shim seems to help, but still lose the connection once and awhile... Is having the actual port replaced a huge job ? Or is this anything anyone has run into? gordon - Gordon, I do my own ethernet terminations (rj-11/14/45) with the fancy tools, etc, and every once in a while I will make a bad one. My guess is to check the male plug(s) before you conclude the female port is bad. Use known trouble free cables, etc, to see if you are only having trouble with the one cable rj-45 plug. Definitely cheaper to fix than the Mac's port. Gently wiggle the wire independently of the male plug if you can--might reveal the wire connection as the problem more readily. If the plug is actually loose, well HTH Jim -- Tanglewood Ordinary Restaurant True FamilyStyle Dining since 1986 On the National Register of Historic Places the Virginia Landmarks Register Anne Jim Hardwick, Proprietors 2210 River Road West Maidens, VA 23102-2705 804-556-3284 804-556-4432 (personal emergencies) 804-350-6895 cell phone/vmail E-fax 1-707-929-1392 (Pls check w/ us 1st; comes to us as e mail) PDF files welcome in lieu of faxes -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

MAC BATT Re: Battery and screen care
20031009 2. I'm normally working someplace where I can use the power adapter. Is this OK, or does the battery need to be used occasionally and then recharged? If yes, how often and how low should the charge go before I recharge? Someone else may correct me, but AFAIK, there is no memory associated with the batteries Apple uses in the iBook and PowerBook. You can either leave the computer plugged in or not; I've run my battery down multiple times and have not yet noticed any dropoff in available charge. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Phil Burk ___ Systems Support Technician Wiley Publishing, Inc. Indianapolis, IN 317-572-3049 --- Phil, the only amplification I might make on your advice is that the Li-on batteries have a life limit as to charge cycles, so short charging them when they do not need much charging might constitute a bad thing. Certainly they are far removed from the memory-hampered Ni-Cad batteries of old (and new Motorola GMRS radios). But our compulsive desire to always have our batteries fully charged probably contributes to shortening the lives of these high tech energy cells. I thought about this after discussing the rather short life I was getting from my cell phone batteries with a local vendor of same. Same issue, and think of how many of us simply plug in our cell phones to either our car or home charger every chance we get. Mine have only been lasting about a year, though the advent of digital service in our area has helped a lot (uses less power). Comment, anyone?

If my employees were to see me cheating the IRS big time or taking sanitation shortcuts to save money, they'd probably not be very disinclined to cheat me--stealing food, etc. You'd be surprised how honest people are with others they see as honest.

LIST Video transfer VHS to Lombard?
20030617 One other way to get analog video into digital is to use a Sony PC-100 or certain other mini-dv camcorders which has the capability to pull vhs via regular RCA/S-video cabling onto its digital tape, giving you a no-loss copy to transfer from, to your Mac and into iMovie, or otherwise. It's pretty fast with my g4-733 destop using fw but I can only imagine using my Wallstreet or a Lombard. I used an older Hi-8 Sony for years and will soon transfer all that video to digital using a Hi-8 deck I kept when I sold the camcorder, then I will sell the deck. Maybe I will put it out onto dvd, but some is not worth saving, making the process one to procrastinate on.
