Current OS on early G3's [was: Need help]
On Saturday, December 7, 2002, at 08:24 AM, Administrator wrote: On the older G3's you have to partition into 2 seperate partitions. OS X will only install on the first 8 gig of the HD. Sooo.. Create 1, 7.9 gig partition and then the rest in another. It's not just OS X... Some of the early G3's will not recognize any system folder as being valid (i.e., bootable) unless it resides on a partition that is wholly within the first 8 GB of the hard drive. You can have 16 bootable partitions on a drive if you want, but all need to be within the 8 GB on these machines. If your drive is larger than 8 GB, then you need to have at least two partitions, one of which (the one you want to start-up from) resides wholly within the first 8 GB. A system folder on any partition that strays beyond the first 8 GB of a hard drive will not be bootable on these particular early G3's -- it may be recognized, it may appear to be blessed, but it will not start your machine. The OS X installer is smart enough to check this, and won't install if it thinks the installation won't be bootable. The OS-9 installer does not make such a check. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.

My friend Theo stated that if you had used the powerbook as a weapon and hurled it at the vandals/burglers then he thought that it should be covered, but since you just dropped it rushing out to investigate it was your fault and you should be responsible for it. Sometimes we put a little too much stock into what we (and our friends) think. I'm wondering if anyone took the time to look at one or two insurance contracts? The contract specifies what are termed covered perils upon which the premium rates for that particular coverage are structured. It matters not what you or I think it should or shouldn't say, or whether you or I agree with what it does say, but rather what the contract specifies. If we disagree with the terms, we can choose to join a different pool of insured by buying a different contract, possibly from a competing insurer. Different contracts have different specifications (and, very likely, different pricing). Contracts that include stupid people tricks among it's covered perils will likely be priced higher than a similar contracts whose owners need to be more responsible. In the case of insurance contracts, you pay for the coverage you get (in the specifications). Whether a claim is or isn't filed (for a covered peril) is up to the individual. That's the way it works. Insurance companies simply offer products with features that customers seem to want -- and are willing (or gullible enough) to pay for -- and the product is priced accordingly.

Personally, I've not noticed any difference between battery life with 10.1.5 before, and 10.2 now. That's not to say that I'm getting great battery life, but I seem to get the same 2-1/2 to 3+ hours that I've always had in the past 6 to 9 months. John at Wood-n-Shavings, Inc.

That would take patience, but DAMN will I use that technique in the future. Great idea! Yeah, don't plan to hold the screwdriver till the epoxy sets. You need to rig a small fixture (a folded piece of cardboard, or even a toilet pater tube and a little tape) so you can do something else while the epoxy sets. All that's needed is something to hold the bits steady during the cure. John -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Go to a good hardware store or an auto parts store and get a small 'easy out' and a drill bit to match. The easy out is a small wedge shaped screw with a reverse thread. You drill a small hole in the center of the phillips head 'X' on top of the screw and the easy out screws into the hole. The wedge shape quickly gets jammed in the hole and continued turning unscrews the damaged screw. Bring the laptop with you to show how small the screw is.

Re: OS X nested Preference problems
Has anyone else tried running the repair permissions script more than once? When I ran it the second time, I figured that no new changes would have been made, but I figured wrong. One day had elapsed between the two. When I ran it a third time (a day later) more changes were reflected in the log. The first run reflected quite a few changes (the log file was over 160 KB) while the subsequent runs were much smaller.

Re: shutting down pb pismo
On Saturday, June 29, 2002, at 09:24 PM, Kyle Hansen wrote: 4. A colder computer is a happier computer. Constant heat form even nominal operation will reduce the longevity of your mac. Sounds cute, but there is no basis in fact for this statement. A cold computer is one that is off, and I don't know whether that qualifies as a happy computer or not. Although largely academic, your computer's happiness is more likely attributable to minimized temperature swings. A constant temperature means there is no thermal cycling. It's a physical property of materials (not an emotional one) that temperature changes cause the components to physically change size. Since not all materials change the same amount for any given temperature change, mechanical interference and flexing will occur, ultimately leading to loosened connections and actual cracks in soldered joints (and even the components themselves). The fewer the cycles, the better. Since some cycling is inevitable, an effective trade-off is to minimize the cycle severity. That's the physics... From a practical standpoint, if you turned your machine on and off once a day for three years, you will have gone through just over 2,000 deep thermal cycles -- probably not enough to make a difference in more than 99% of the machines produced. But a colder computer is not necessarily a happier one. Taken to an extreme, this philosophy can actually induce damage that would not otherwise have occurred. 2000 excessively large thermal swings may indeed cause premature failure.

I was going to let this one go, but as an Apple Certified Tech, you must be aware that the only parts in a computer that suit the idling engine analogy are the mechanically moving parts -- the disk drives and the cooling fan -- all of which are designed for some minimum life-cycle performance. There are, in fact, some engines that are designed for continuous operation, and shutting them down periodically will actually reduce their longevity.
