Re: Mail app & the bounce feature

[Joe Armstrong]

It's good to use a mac. :)

At least you don't have to worry so much that by clicking on a link like
that, you're going to have something interesting downloaded and installed
without your knowledge and consent.

A lot of the "phishing" mail is not just after email accounts (and bank
accounts, and paypal accounts), but is also a vector for turning an
insufficiently protected/improperly configured/not updated windows machine
into a zombie.

The marriage of virus writers and spammers and organised crime is producing
some real wild things out there :)

Re: Mail app & the bounce feature

[Joe Armstrong]

One last comment on bouncing spam (from me anyway :) )

Even if you do successfully get a bounce all the way to your friendly local
spammer, a bounce from your mailer is easily distinguished from a bounce
from your isp ( in most cases ).

In other words, it's just a dangerous as trying to unsubscribe from a
spammers mail list. All you actually do is confirm that your email address
exists, and hey bingo, you can join me on the magic million, double
confirmed, opt-in only, address lists that spammers love to sell to each
other :)

Don't you just love those righteous spam emails you get that affirm  that
you are only receiving this junk cause you opted into whatever ?

Like hell I did :)

Joe

Re: Mail app & the bounce feature

Yeah,
 Its more than likely :(
 Any mail list that has a web browser accessible mail archive is likely to
be "spidered" for addresses. There are actually automated programs out there
that will trawl through a website looking for [EMAIL PROTECTED](.whatever).

Re: Mail app & the bounce feature

[Joe Armstrong]

Hi Jim,
Yep, I guess there are really still /some/ spam that use real reply-to
addresses, but not a lot.

 Just because they don't bounce back to you, doesn't mean they aren't faked.
:). In point of fact, many of the ones that don't bounce back to you, are
probably going to real inboxes. It's just that they probably didn't send
them to you. You need to look at the actual mail header information to see
where a mail came from.(in entourage you can do that by doing a view
source). It can have a return/reply address of eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED], but
actually be sent from a mailer in say Korea. You bounce it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If fred exists, it gets accepted - and you think you've inconvenienced the
spammer. In fact, poor fred is sitting there coping a couple of thousand
bounces a day, on mail he didn't send out.

 
 Also, I (and many other postmasters) don't bounce bounces to non-existent
addresses at my domain. I do let the sending mailer know that the address
doesn't exist, but early enough in the conversation that a bounce can be
avoided.

A long time ago, I offended a fairly major and long lived spammer, by
convincing his isp to disconnect him :). He's pretty much been sending out
email with a return address of any made-up username at my domain, on an on
and off basis for years. :).

Occasionally he slips up, and I can get a couple of his relays closed down,
more often these days, he's sending out through zombie windows machines.

What folk often don't realise, is just how vulnerable the mail protocol is
to "dishonesty".

I can easily, just by talking directly to a mail server, convince it that I
am you (as the sender), send a couple of thousand emails to addresses I know
the mail server will not accept, and bury your mailbox in bounces.

I'm not in any way proposing to do that, but I know it can be done - It has
been done to me :). Ironically, in the trade, this form of mail abuse is
known as a "joe job".

Regards,
Joe

Re: Mail app & the bounce feature

[Joe Armstrong]

Hi Jim,
 Please whatever you do - don't bounce them.
 Drop them on the floor, put them in a folder you never look at, but don't
bounce them.

 All (and I do mean all) spam these days fakes the from address, so all you
do by bouncing spam is annoy the heck out of someone who didn't send it to
you in the first place - or get a second copy of it returned to you because
the address your sending to doesn't exist.

 All you achieve by bouncing spam is to increase the volume of junk being
mailed around the net :)


Regards,
Joe

It happens when there's nothing in either bay, as well as when on

Does this happen when on battery or when plugged in (or both?).  If it 
only happens when on battery, check your battery contacts.  If it 
happens while plugged in, it could be a bad solder joint in your power

Both. I've tried it plugged in and on battery.

DVD burning in OS X

[Joe Crow]

Hi, folks.
A while back I replaced the stock DVD drive in my Pismo with an LG 
GCC-4240N. I got the burner update files from xlr8yourmac.com, and 
replaced the authoring support files in OS 9, sans problem. 
Unfortunately, I just updated to OS X, and have no idea how to do the 
same thing. The OS X file is labeled LGCDR.device-plugin, but I don't 
know where it goes. I tried putting it in the extensions folder, but it 
doesn't seem to do anything. Profiler still says burning isn't 
supported. Any advice from the pros?

Dude, your best bet is to just get a 3rd party DVD unit and drop it into the
tray. I went through 2 DVD units from Apple in my Pismo 500, and late last
year I bought a DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit off ebay to replace the last one that
went funky. I had to update some burner software (found the hack at
xlr8yourmac.com) but it works much better now.

Check some of these out:

The one I've got is the LG version, but they've got some HP ones up there
for dirt cheap. Worth checking out.

I've been using sleep between work and home for a year now on my 17"

machine up, choose a different Location out of the Apple menu, and 
I'm on my wireless network and surfing away.
I too have been using sleep mode with my PowerBooks since 1998 
(Wallstreet II, now 15" Titanium).  Works great, you can leave it for 
an extended period of time no sweat.  Also, sleep mode is handy for 
swapping batteries.  If you do it quickly (less than 60 seconds I 
think but don't quote me on it) you can swap out a discharged battery 
for a full-charged one.  I use this when traveling on airplanes and 
want to finish watching a DVD.  Usually I can't make it all the way 
through a movie on one battery.  I simply put it to sleep, swap out 
the battery and start it back up.  Works like a champ.
I've read somewhere that you can have the battery out for three minutes 
while swapping out.  I think it was on apple's site when i was 
researching their product before i bought my 15" albook.

whether in apple, windows, linux or whatever I'm staying away from 
those cards.   I'll vouch for their other stuff though (i'm on network 
with their 54g access point going through their cable router w/4 port 
switch then through their cable modem - not to mention the cute little 
5 port switch that the access point plugs into - on my airport extreme 
equipped al pb)

Alright Joe; no need to make anyone feel silly...!
I guess you're right, sorry...   I have to be sarcastic at least once a 
day and both of my co-workers are out of the office today!

Anyway, IF the person looking for a way to play their movies SKIPPED 
over the
WMP for Macs, I would not blame them it sucks!

It can only play one song at a time, cannot do any programmed 
play-lists...
essentially it is a demo!
Wow, didn't realize.  After years of using Linux I pretty much ignored 
anything Microsoft, until I discovered Xine could play wmv files.

What is the VLC Media Player? Does it have more feature than the WMP?

Never used it...   being just two months into using a mac i'm still 
discovering what's out there...

Re: Running Yellow Dog Linux on a 400 MHz PowerBook G3 Pismo

[Joe Sleeper]

Why would you ever want to install Linux on a Mac when OS X is the 
best personal Unix ever?
Who cares _why_ he wants to use Linux?!  Sorry, but answers like that 
really get under my skin.

There are plenty of reasons why a person might want to use Linux 
instead of OS X.  Cost might be one of them (Linux is "free", OS X 
costs $130).  System resources are another.  Heaven forbid that 
someone might NOT actually LIKE Aqua/OS X!  Or someone might LIKE 
Linux!  But why make this person defend his question like that?  It's 
perfectly reasonable to want to run Linux on a Mac, regardless of 
whatever bias you may hold against it.

I put YDL on my Wallstreet, and it ran fine.  Shortly after that, I 
got into software development in OS 9, and eventually uninstalled 
Linux to reclaim that hard disk space.  A Pismo should be easy(ish) to 
set up, and it should run YDL like a champ.  There is no version of 
iTunes for Linux, but I'm certain that there's no shortage of MP3 
players.  Some might even allow you to synch up a hardware MP3 player 
(though probably not as gracefully as iTunes handles the iPod).

Fascinatingly, there is a version of Linux that will run on the 
iPod... ;-)
<http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/faq.shtml>

I'm in agreement that there is nothing wrong with wanting to put Linux 
on Apple hardware...  As a recent convert to Macintosh from Linux, I 
was planning on dual-booting my new powerbook but liked OS X enough 
that I decided against it - I'll lug my old Thinkpad around if I need 
to do anything that I need Linux for that I can't do on this laptop 
(mostly network stuff).  I love OS X, but I also love Linux (Gentoo is 
my flavor of choice) and I don't see myself stopping use of it anytime 
soon...

Check out GTK-Pod.  A friend of mine uses that to sync music to his 
I-Pod using his Sony VAIO laptop running Mandrake Linux.  I think he 
just uses XMMS to listen to the MP3's, and there are lots of options 
for ripping your CDs.  I used to use Grip, which is a graphical front 
end to some various command line utilities that are used to rip then 
encode into mp3.

Cheers

All you need is the wireless router, your airport card should connect

No smoking signon lombard at boot into OSX.3.2

[Joe]

What does this mean and how do I fix it?  This is for my sisters lombard and it had 
been working fine, the only difference is I lent her my battery so she could use it to 
take notes in an especially long lecture class, it does not seem the battery should 
have effected to boot process, as it seems unrelated but it was the only change in the 
machine, so I thought it was worthy of mention...

Lombard and Pismo video quesion?

[Joe]

I realize that these laptops do not have a video card in the sense that desktop 
machines do, but I Was wondering if the video card in these machines was on a PCIesque 
bus or and AGPesque bus?  I wonder because I noticed that quartz extreme is not 
enabled on these laptops and in OSX.3.2 sys profiler it says that the video card is on 
an AGP bus, I thought mayeb this was an error.  I know apple didn't support quartz 
extreme on the rage cards (which these laptops had) and that enableing quartz extreme 
generally results in poorer system bus performance due to the higher traffic from the 
video data on the bus, but if these laptops do indeed have AGP rage cards, would the 
quartz extreme hack not cause the ill effects that using the hack with a pci vid card 
would have (like in a blue and white G3)?  My mom's and sister's lombard are only the 
333 MHz system with 6 GB drives and I have upgraded the memory to 256 MB in each 
laptop, mine is a pismo 400 with 512 MB of ram and OSX.3.2 is sluggish compared to 
using OSX.3.2 on my G3 400 at work with 256 MB of RAM which is a blue and white 
machine that is stock except it has 256 MB of ram...

Just looking to increase the finders responsiveness, but I don't want to use the hack 
if the vid cards are indeed PCI in these laptops...

The Pismo has TWO 6 pin Firewire ports, if yours doesn't, it's NOT a Pismo.
Also, AFAIK all Mac Firewire connections are 6 pin. If you connect to a 4
pin FW device it's by way of a 6 pin to 4 pin cable.

Byron;

Sorry to be so long responding, but I am on vacation at my daughter-in-law's
home in Florida, unfortunately she doesn't have internet access so I have to
go out and find a hot-spot to down load my mail. Will upload this answer the
next chance I get. 

If you check out the GPSy site they have links to where you can get a serial
to USB converter and the driver for it comes with it or you can download it
from Belkin. Once you have the converter and Garmin cable you should be able
to use the GPSy application with several different mapping options. Strongly
recommend you spend some time on the GPSy site reading their information.

My newly repaired pismo

[Joe]

I just fixed my pismo, and when I turn it on the lcd is very red and then after about 
the time it takes to get to the log in screen the red tinting is gone, is this a 
common thing on pismos, or do I need to start looking for a new lcd for mine?

it works great other than this, and it doens't bother me at all, but I was wondering 
if this means its failing or something?

DEAD Pismo help?

[Joe]

Hi all,
I havea  dead pismo here, and I was wondering it it would be possible for me to send 
my cpu card, sans RAM, to someone and if they'd be willing to test and see if the cpu 
worked in their pismo?  If the cpu card turns up working then it is probably the power 
board, does anyone know how to test the sound/power board? This Pismo is in practicaly 
MINT shape on the outside and the screen and keyboard, but it won't do anything :-(

Dead Pismo

[Joe]

I have a dead pismo, and it shows no signs of life no matter what I try or what I 
reseat, is there a way to test the sound/power card to see if it is functional before 
plunking down $100ish for a new one?  Does anyone know if a dead cpu would make the 
computer be dead?  The pismo does have a crack in the case that would be on the belly 
side of the mouse button if it were facing you in your lap, I took it ALL the way 
apart and checked for things that would look broken or burned or whatever, foudn 
nothing.  If I can't get a simple solution to this the guy trying to sell it to me for 
$125 will most likely give it to me for free, and I could repair it with parts from 
ebay.  I have a lombard, would it be possible to swap the sound/power card out of that 
and into the pismo without killing anything?  My lombard works fine except for a 
vertical white line of pixels that I'm trying to fix as well, but that is not as 
important as getting this pismo running.  As I can use my lombard with the pixel 
issue, it s a little harder to use a dead pismo ;-)

Pismo 400 no worky

[Joe]

ok so I'm trying to buy this pismo 400 from this guy I work with for $125, but the 
thing won't turn on, I reseated the ram and cpu cards, is there something common with 
these that makes them not turn on?  I pressed that funny reset button on the back of 
the machine a few times as well and it didn't seem to help...

I use a Garmin eTrex GPS receiver and two applications, one called GPSy and
Delorme's Street Atlas on my Pismo and it works fine. My only complaint is
that I have to use Classic mode. Delorme refuses to make an OS X version of
their software.

I just heard about one called Route 66 2004 that will be out in January; I
intend to get it and the OS X update of GPSy and try them next year. The
GPSy web site has info on cables, adapters and other things you may need you
can check it out here:http://www.gpsy.com

Last year a group of us rented a house in the Poconos for the NASCAR Pocono
500. Although one of the group had been there the year before, I asked for
the address and used my Pismo to track our route. As it turned out, we got
seperated from the other 3 cars in the caravan but since I had the address
and the GPS; we got to the house 45 minutes ahead of anyone else. Now my
buddies don't give me quite as bad a time about my geekiness.

Yeah. Happened to me twice. The first time, I just brought it in and they
replaced it with another LG drive. Same thing happened a few months later,
just as my Applecare was about to run out. Apple wanted me to bring in my
whole system so they could see if it was something besides the drive. Bah. I
just went on Ebay and got a 3rd party CD-R/DVD-ROM drive and dropped it into
the tray from the old drive. After I found the burner software update,
everything worked great. Plus, now I can play the LOTR Extended Editions.

CD/RW drive question

[Joe Crow]

Hey, folks.
I just bought a CD/RW DVD drive and popped it into the sled from my
original CD-ROM DVD drive. Everything seems to work fine, except for burning
CD/RW's. Disk Burner says it's not supported.
I'm using a Powerbook G3/500, running OS 9.2. The drive is a Hitachi-LG
GCC-4240N DVD-ROM CD/RW drive. Anybody know how to remedy this? New driver,
Disk Burner update, something?

I'm running VPC 6.1 (Win 2K) on my Pismo with Panther and it runs fine. I
haven't really stressed it with anything harder than IE but it appears to
run pretty well. I can definitely state that VPC 6.1 is much better the VPC
5 under classic.

As for the minimum machine, sorry, I upgraded to a 500 MHz G4 processor in
my machine along with a Gig of memory. But, I would venture to say that as
long as you have a lot of memory, you should be able to get along OK in VPC
6.1, If not, there is a fairly cheap upgrade of your Pismo that will turn it
into a 900 MHz G3.

On my second, and it just crapped out a few weeks ago. So, soon, I'll be on
my third. It's almost as bad as the AC adapters. Much love for Apple, but
there are some bigass holes in select pieces of their technological
infrastructure. 

Once I get it replaced, I'm probably gonna get one of those cd-dvd burner
replacements off ebay. My Applecare contract's almost up anyway. Then the
upgrading begins.

Sorry, I beg to differ with you, I connect my iPod to 2 *different*
computers all the time. I have a Pismo and a 867Mhz Quicksilver desktop
machine. Depending on how you have your iPod configured; you will see 2
different scenarios. If you have it set for Auto-Sync and the last machine
it was mounted on was the Pismo and I hook it to my QS; it will ask if I
want to wipe whats on it and replace with the QS iTunes library. If I have
it configured for *Manual* syncing it simply mounts the iPod without doing a
sync and you can use a nifty little program called ipod.itunes and actually
transfer and sync the files on the iPod with those in iTunes. I frequently
do this because in the evening, I will sit in my living room with my Pismo
and browse the iTunes store and buy and download music and put it on my
iPod. Later, when I have some tiime, I will take the iPod and connect it to
my QS and add the new music to my QS which serves as a back-up. This way, I
keep BOTH computers with an up to date and synced iTunes library. (BTW: this
is perfectly legal, read the iTunes user agreement)

Well, first suggestion, if she doesn't have a compelling reason for using OS
9, she should switch and go to OS X and stay there. Next re-install iTunes,
the latest version and repair permissions. If you supect a firewire problem
on her machine, do you have another FW device to test with? Perhaps another
FW drive or camera.
You could use your Pismo to check her FW connection by using yours in Target
Disk mode. Do you know how?

Do you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes? When you plug
it into your wife's Pismo, can you start iTunes and have it recognized? If
not; I would recommend you re-install iTunes on her Pismo and do the "fix
permissions" thing with disk utility.

You are correct Laurent, I was just on the site. That's really a shame,
because I have been very happy with the G4 upgrade as I posted earlier. I
did see that OWC is offering a G4 (Newer Technology NuPower Pismo G4/500MHz
1MB 2:1 L2 Cache Processor Upgrade ) for $290.

I'm not familiar with their reputation but you can check out other buyers
experiece with them at <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com>.

You WILL see speed bump with the G4, I did with mine, the key is memory, put
in as much as you can afford. Also get a roomy hard drive.
I gussied mine up with a Gig of memory, the BlueChip G4 upgrade from
PowerLogix, and a 60Gig hard drive. Also if you intend to try your hand at
video editing and DVD burning, you're much better off with the G4 as opposed
to the G3 900. But again it really depends on what you want to do with the
machine.
As for satisfaction, I don't intend to even LOOK at another laptop until
Apple comes out with a G5 model.

A similar situation with mine was resolved by the replacement of the Power
Manager module. I had to send it to MacResQ to get it fixed. There are
several places you can order batteries from, A Google search will give you
them. For other parts there's http://www.pbparts.com here's what I would
suggest you try.
1. Buy a known good PRAM battery and a known good regular Battery.
2. Install both in one of your machines and see if any of the various
revival techniques work.
3. Cycle through all 3 of your machines.
4. If you can't get one revived. Use the teardown guide (a Google will
locate a copy) to take 2 of the machines apart down to the logic board.and
swap sound, inverter and power modules sequentially into the 3rd machine to
see if you can get one running.
5. If all else fails, put one together with your best estimate of good
parts, take it to an Apple Dealer, I believe they have a flat rate repair
fee of $300 to make one whole again. MacResQ has a $99 deal but that only
gets you a diagnosis, you then have to pay parts and labor for whatever they
fix. (In my case, that ended up a little more than another 225$) so I ended
up paying a little more than I would have paid Apple, but considering where
I would have had to go to get it to Apple, the cost was about the same.

Which Office are you speaking about? Mac or Windows? There is a version of
Office for Macs (Office 98) That will run in OS 9 or in Classic mode if you
run OS X.

I run Office v.X on my Pismo running OS 10.2.8 and it runs fine. You cannot
run Office 98/2000 in OS X.
Sorry, I take that back, if you run VPC you could run the Windows version of
Office, but I fear it would be very clunky.

Look around, if you currently own a version of Mac Office you can upgrade
for a very reasonable price. While some folks have complained of problems
with Office v.X; I have not experienced any at all, although I don't use it
as frequently as a lot of my other apps. I have made signs for my wife in
PowerPoint, typed up invoices in both Word and Excel and I use Entourage as
my email program every day.

Dead Pismo

[Joe Ellis]

In the course of trying to keep a couple of youngsters entertained via DVDs
on my Pismo; I ran both my batteries to the fully discharge state and have
been unable to recharge them. Since the batteries are about 3 years old I
presumed it was time to invest in a new one. After spending $130 on a new
battery I still have not been able to get the computer to turn on. I believe
I have used every Power Manager reset procedure there is and every key combo
I could find in the literature and I still haven't been able to revive it.
Is it possible the small PRAM battery being dead will cause this problem?

Essentially, you are saying you want to re-format the document, in that case
as long as the file was generated from a text document originally, it's
copy-paste to your hearts content.
Hopefully it's not a scanned document because you would then need some kind
of OCR software.

Actually, the PDF file is more condensed than any Word file would be. That's
one of the reasons for using the PDF format on the web. If your PDF file you
downloaded seems large, it may be that it was generated from a scanned image
and if it was, you won't be able to copy the text with PDF Reader because it
really is an image. You should be able to print the file directly from PDF
Reader without going to the trouble of converting it, that's the point of
the PDF format in the first place.

Re: is my powerbook dead?

[Joe Ellis]

While it eliminates your hard drive it does not eliminate other
possibilities such as a loose connection or perhaps a cracked circuit board.
It's my understanding that Apple has a flat charge for repairing Powerbooks.
If you are not comfortable doing a teardown rebuild yourself, it may pay for
you to take it to them for repair.
Just a thought.

You may have a hard drive that's going bad, have you tried booting it off a
firewire drive, plugging it in, and moving it and getting lockups implies
that something may be loose and floating around inside the case causing
flakey operation, have you dropped it recently?

Pismo CPU upgrade question.

[Joe Crow]

Hey folks.
I've been thinking about the upgrade path I want to pursue once my
Pismo's Applecare warranty runs out in December. One of the things I want to
do is upgrade the CPU, using either the Newertech G4/500 or the PowerLogix
G3/900 chip. I'm currently running OS 9.1, but I expect to jump to OSX
soonish. 
So, the question. Is there any real consensus as to which option (G3/900
or G4/500) is more useful and/or powerful? Anybody out there made the jump
and care to give some testimonials?

It's been over 15 years since I actually worked in the biomedical
engineering field so my memory is a little dim, but if you do a google on
biomed standards one item I pulled up is here
http://www.ohmicinstruments.com/pdf/BET300.pdf .
This is a test instrument we used to check any electrical equipment that
could be hooked to a patient such as a  heart rate monitor. The "Upper
range" of leakage current is 20 ma but
I believe the "limit" was usually in the range of a couple hundred
micro-amperes. This is a link to a book that discusses it.
http://www.sencore.com/newsletter/June02/Electrical%20Safety%20Book.pdf This
has drifted off topic but I post it for the curious.

Then the question becomes; is there 2 slots for PCMCIA cards because he's
already occupying one with his firewire card.  There's also the question of
his intended use for airport; how big is the WI-FI thing in Europe?(He lives
in Sweden). Is he intending to network his home or is this for road use?

My understanding of Lithium batteries is that they don't develop "memories"
like a NiCad can, so there is no need to "break it in" with a
charge-discharge cycle. At one time, I believe that was a recomendation to
help the OS establish an estimate of how long you can go on your battery;
but I don't think it applies using Jaguar.

That's what I did with the 10 GB drive from my Pismo. What you do is buy
what is called a Firewire enclosure (they come with the electronics
required) you simply install the drive in the enclosure. You can get
enclosures that use the FW bus for power or you can get one with it's own
power supply adapter. For your application since you are using a FW card you
probably want to get one with it's own DC supply. Check with OWC; I think
they carry them.

> How easy is it to go wireless with this model? Do they make an Airport
> Card that's compatible? What kind of range can I expect?

I'm not sure where the Airport card installs on the Lombard, on my Pismo it
installs above the area for the PCMIA cards internally. Does the Lombard
have an antenna for Airport installed? If not then you need to get a PCMIA
card version. In either case the nominal range is about 300 ft. I have a
base station in my "computer room" at home and it covers my entire house,
but it can vary depending on what building materials you encounter.

Yes, I have this upgrade in my Pismo and I'm delighted with it. Would take

The 2 weak points are where the wire comes out at the center of the "spool"
and where it attaches to the back of the plug both these points tend to get
a lot of wear. I tend to try to keep a loop around the center so there is
little or no tension on the point where it enters there. On the other end, I
always make sure I grasp the whole plug piece when connecting or
disconnecting so that I don't strain the wire.
I've had my Pismo and 2 Yo-Yo's for over 3 years and haven't had a problem
with either of them.

That's it.
In order to use Carracho, I apparently have to sign up, which I don't care
to do right now.
But it looks like you have the file anyway. If you have questions, I'll try
to answer them. Good luck on your project.

DON'T USE FOAM! You need to recheck how the keyboard is seated. At the top;
between the function keys you will see a center latch screw, use a jewlers
screwdriver to unlock the KB, then there are 2 tabs to the left and right
that should slide back to allow you to lift the back edge of the KB up.
Towards the bottom of the KB you will see 3 small metal tabs make sure when
you seat the KB that they are slotted under the lip of the case. Then make
sure that the upper tabs are retracted as you lay the KB in place. If you
need a picture to follow along with, let me know and I will contact you off
list with a place you can download the repair manual for the Pismo.

My understanding of the type of battery in the Pismo is that it makes very
little difference in how often it's cycled and charged. They simply start
losing capacity over time and the lifetime for the LION battery is about 3
years. After that they start degrading fairly rapidly. I have two that are
approaching that 3 year mark and I have begun to see shorter run times when
I go to my batteries. Of course I am probably contributing to shortening
their life by running a G4 processor in it also. The only other thing I've
heard is to be very careful to not FULLY discharge one because that may kill
it entirely.

I've been running the BlueChip upgrade in my Pismo for almost 7 months and
am delighted with it. I also maxed memory out with 2 512 MB cards and a 40
GB hard drive. It is one smoking machine; the only caveat, battery life is
significantly shortened, i.e. I get about 1.5 hours on my batteries which
are about 3 years old. I'm about ready to investigate either rebuilding one
or buying a replacement. I've held off doing that since I rarely am on
battery. In my truck I have a battery adapter that plugs into a lighter
outlet. I also purchased one of those rechargable car jumper battery packs
that have a lighter outlet so I can use it when I am in our hunting camp in
the fall, great for DVD viewing.

Norton won't help unless it was installed "before the fact" and Diskwarrior
needs a directory file to work and unfortunately that is exactly the file
you erased.

Two thoughts, since you called your volume "backup" do you have the
original? If not check out Version Tracker for Mac file utilities, I think
there are a couple there that may help.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/7846 this one may be of
help.

I would suggest you get more RAM, OS X really works well as long as you have
a lot of memory. 128 MB really isn't enough. I have 2 512 MB sticks in my
Pismo. I'd also suggest you get a larger Hard Drive. Both upgrades are
relatively cheap and should give you a good machine. As long as the rest of
your machine is in good condition investing in the above should will give
you a reliable alternative to a new machine.

I have the same Pismo upgrade as yours, and I use DHCP without any
significant slowdown that I can detect. I have a cable modem feeding
ethernet to a router/firewall that routes ethernet to my Airport Base which
is configured as a simple bridge. My Pismo uses its' airport card and
receives its' IP address via DHCP from the router/firewall. I have a fixed
IP address with my cable company and a guaranteed 1MB down and 375 KB up.
Surfing with Safari is super fast. How many machines are being served from
your DHCP server? To me that would be where I would look for a slowdown.

I tend to leave both my desktop G4 Quicksilver and my upgraded G4 Pismo
running all the time. When I do re-starts after updates, I don't see any
real difference in boot times between machines. By allowing them to run all
the time, OS X can do the housekeeping it wants to do. There are some
utilities like Cocktail that will help you "tune up" your system and perhaps
shorten those boot times. I so seldom do it that it's hard to do an
objective comparison. As for OS 9, I haven't used it in over a year. Just
Classic when I use my GPS in my truck.

I just helped another person recently, same problem. I believe you have to
disassemble the entire machine to get to where you can properly replace it.
I put a copy of a PDF file of the Pismo repair manual in my public folder on
my .Mac account and he was able to download it. Unfortunately, being of the
senior persuasiion, I don't recall the password I supplied for access at the
moment. If you can wait til this evening when I can be on my home machine I
will find the email and send it along.

Dan, I cc'd you on this so if you still have the password to my .Mac public
folder and can send it along before 5 PM this afternoon maybe it will this
guy out a little faster. My account user name is joeateb.

You only need the display adapter if you have a non-Apple display card and
an Apple cinema display. The Apple display comes with 2 USB connections on
the back of it. The connector that comes with it has a special connector
head that allows for both the DVI and USB to connect through the same
connector head. If you buy one of the newer display cards such as the ATI
8500 or 9000, they come with a "standard" PC DVI connector without the USB
connectivity; thus you need the "dongle" which provides a connection to the
card and to one of your USB ports on your machine on one end and connects to
the Cinema display at the other. Thus you lose one of your USB ports on your
machine but retain the 2 on the back of the display. I know this because I
have a G4 Quicksilver with an 8500 display card and a 17" Apple Cinema
Display.
In fact, if you get an Apple display and need a card, I have a twin head
(Apple connector) and standard video 2X AGP card that I will sell for a
resonable price. You will need a machine that has the AGP slot to use the
card.

I did what is called the "Blue Chip" CPU upgrade, there's a review with the
relavent facts and figures here
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/PB_G3/powerlogix_bluechip/ I'm very happy with it
and with the addition of 2 512MB RAM sticks and a 40 GB hard drive, I have a
machine that is every bit as capable as a Titanium Powerbook. The RAM cost
me about $180, the new Hard Drive was about $180, The Blue Chip upgrade was
$300, so for about a total of about $700, I got what I feel is close to the
same performance as some of the newest laptops in a rugged albiet a little
heftier form factor.
After checking out the latest models at an Apple store a couple of weeks
ago, about the only one I would trade up to from it would be the 17" PB for
the extra screen real estate. As for selling it; although there may be some
legitimate deals on Pismos on eBay, you would have to offer me close to the
price of a new 15" BP to get me to part with it.

I wouldn't try to burn DVDs on a G3 Pismo either, but I've already upgraded
mine to a 500 MHz G4 which is almost as fast as my Quicksilver Desktop unit
which has a SuperDrive and does a pretty good job producing DVDs.

However, that said, further investigation of the $99 unit (LiteOn
LSC-24081-01 ) shows it to be a DVD reader only. I'm still looking for
something that is less than the $450 unit.

I'd live with the ugly
to get a SuperDrive capability for $99.00. I haven't read the
xlr8yourmac.com review on the LiteOn LSC-24081-01 drive yet. But if it lives
up to it's billing, they will soon have $100.00 of my money.

OOPS my bad!
Further reading of the specs for the $99 drive shows it only supports DVD
reading, it is NOT a SuperDrive candidate that the articles on xlr8yourmac
say you can build. Need to keep looking, I do remember seeing some on eBay a
while back, but they went really fast.

They also want $450.00 for it! As one of the previous replies to this thread
mentioned, there are cheaper alternatives, personally I'd live with the ugly

I don't know about the Lombard and where the cut-off is but depending on
several things you can find on the Apple site, there is an 8 GB partition
limitation on installing OS X. The Documentation and limits are pretty
clearly outlined if you go to the Apple site and search their support site
on how and where to install OS X.

working on things electronic. I work on my own Apple products, I've used
them since 1986 so I'm very familiar with them. If you're interested,
contact me by my email, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) and
I'll send you my phone number so we can talk.

I don't know about other models, but on my Desktop G4 I had to purchase
Applecare before the first year was up and it runs for 3 years. I still have
2 to go so I don't know if they will offer a renewal. I purchased my Pismo
used and it was outside the first year with no applecare agreement so I
couldn't get one. Fortunately it has been a very rugged and reliable
machine.

Re: SOS _ swuakey computer, etc

Looks like a fair deal to me. Toshiba drives are good, that's what I have in
my Pismo. It shouldn't take more than an hour to do what you need. So his
price seems fair.

Good Luck

You don't state if you have any applications open or what OS you are using.
Your computer chiming is trying to get your attention about something, but
we need more info to determine what.

You can find them in stores like Wal-Mart, Sears or any store with an
automotive section. They have an integrated set of "jumper cables" for
connecting to a car battery, usually some kind of light and one or two
cigarette lighter sockets that you can plug adaptors into. They have their
own recharger so you can plug it into a wall outlet to keep charged. They
have enough capacity to "jump start" an automobile or lawn tractor which is
what they were originally designed for, but the lighter sockets provide an
easy means to use as an extra capacity battery for your powerbook.

Hi Dave;
Just a couple of thoughts, OS X is a lot more processor intensive than OS 9
and over-clocking the CPU increases the amp-hour drain and the machine is
now in what; it's 5th or 6th year of service? Time to explore the purchase
of a new battery or rebuilding the one you got. This is from a Pismo owner
with two batteries I got when I bought the machine used for a year. I'm
getting about 2 hours on each one; maybe a little more than 4 when I use
both but that defeats the purpose of have a DVD player in the thing. Not
emensely portable, but nice if you do outdoor things, get an auto adaptor
and a 12 volt jumpstart/camping unit. Does 2 full length feature DVDs on one
charge.

The batteries for my Pismo also have 4 leds; when the battery is in the
machine they only seem to display when the battery is charging. Once the
battery reaches full charge; my menu indicator changes to a plug icon
showing I'm on the power plug and the leds turn off. I would venture a guess
that your battery has a full charge. Try running on the battery for a while.
As the battery discharges, the leds should light to show how much they have
left.

OOPS maybe I spoke too soon, I did get the audio to work, video was black
but I though that was due to a problem with the camera (a stealthfire, iRez

How do you have your Airport Base Station configured? Considering your
description above; it should only be set up as a bridge to your ethernet
network, make sure it is not trying to assign IP addresses.

A while back, several months at least, I recall a thread about a young guy
who sold Macs on eBay and how he got ripped off with a fraudulent money
order for a system. Turned out there was a ring of thieves, buying Macs with
phoney money orders and then reselling them to others. He managed to track
the guy down and got him nailed, maybe this guy slipped through the cracks.

How are you configuring your ABS? Did you look at the Apple website for help
they have several articles on how to set up and configure your network. Try

Sorry for your loss, I know it's locking the barn after the thieves have
gotten away but as a suggestion to others who may use eBay or one of the
other auction services; for any transaction over a $100 I recommend people
use one of eBay's recommended escrow services and if the seller refuses it
should immediately raise a red flag.

Hi Andrew,

I bought a replacement CD/DVD ROM drive for my Pismo from this guy and ran
into a few problems myself. The first one he sent me had a broken faceplate
and it took a while to get it swapped for a good one. I also bought a power
manager card from him and it took some prompting before the core charge
refund got posted to my account. My impression is that he is a one or two
man operation and is having some personal and personnel problems. Other than
the delays, he was honest and provided resonable service. I would try
sending another email asking for a status and explanation for the delays.

Good luck,
Joe Ellis

You could check this outfit out, < http://www.gpsy.com/ > they just finally
got to a version that runs in OS X. I have been using their OS 9 version
along with DeLorme's Street Atlas (OS 9) version. I use a Garmin eTrex GPS
unit tied via a serial/USB adaptor to my Pismo. It all actually runs in
Classic without a problem. I haven't tried the OS X version yet but will
probably try it out sometime this summer. You can also sync it up with topos
downloaded from various sites. The most complicated part of getting things
to work was getting the serial to USB converter to port the GPS unit's data
into the computer. The other pain in the butt is that DeLorme doesn't plan
on supporting their Map Application in OS X so I will probably have to look
elsewhere.

Have you done the iTunes update? If so, did you develop any printing
problems? I'm still not sure which caused me lose printing but it had to be
one or the other since I did nothing else.
