Re: Short-term ISP, try access-4-free
My latest PB is the first one with a wireless option. I'm pretty much ignorant about how it works to simply sit outside a library and tap into their network. Don't I need a password and stuff like that in order to get on line? Lawrence On Apr 4, 2005, at 10:53, Jason wrote: do alot of libraries have wireless now?

Short-term ISP
Dear Listers, I am going to be traveling in the USA for a couple months this summer. Could some of you recommend some ISP options which would provide me with at least dial-up access in most major cities? I saw that I can get 45 days of AOL for free but I'm not real excited about loading AOL's stuff onto my PB. Looking forward to your recommendations.

Lombard Chimes Dies
Listers, I have a PowerBook G3 (Lombard) 400 512 MB ram OS X 10.2.6 USB Apple mouse 40 GB hard drive with two partitions - one for OS X and the other for OS 9 This baby has been running great for over a year. Last night I finished up with things, put my PowerBook to sleep (I rarely shut-down) just as usual. This morning when I went to wake it up, nothing! The power indicator light had been flashing as normal in sleep mode. I hit the shift key and everything went dead. I left it for a few seconds and then pushed the power button. Nothing. I know that there have been times in the past where things could freeze up while in sleep, although I haven't experienced that for a long time. So, I pushed the Command + Control and Power button. The machine gave me the start-up chime but that is all. It didn't start up. The back-light on the screen flickered ever so slightly but still nothing. Breathe Breathe, Breathe... OK, removed the keyboard and checked the ram, made sure that everything is seated well. Made sure that the battery had juice - it does - and plugged the power cord back in. Try again. Hold the power button down - Nothing. Command + Control + Power button gives me the startup chime but no start up. Try the reset button on the back panel. Press in and release. Power indicator light gives me a blink but nothing else happens. Press the Power button and all I get is the startup chime but no start up. Try pushing the power button again, nothing. Have to push the Command + Control + Power button to even get the chime. Any ideas? Thanks in advance because you guys are great. Lawrence -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Cardbus PC Card iMovie
Greetings, I'm running OS X 10.2.3 on my PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keyboard) 400 Mhz with 512 MB ram. I have a rather generic Firewire Cardbus PC card that I had used without problem under OS X 10.1 but since upgrading to 10.2 I can't get iMovie to recognize my Sony miniDV handycam. What I get is a message telling me that the camera is disconnected, which it clearly isn't. Any ideas on what I need to do so that I can import all my video memories into iMovie? Thanks for the help.

Display Problem
I'm running OS X 10.1.5 on a PowerBook G3 400 Mhz (bronze keyboard). I have 256 Mgs of ram. Up until now OS X has worked like a charm. And the upgrades have all been improvements. My son was recently playing a game, running in classic mode, which called for 256 colors. This could only be accomplished by setting the resolution to 800 x600. No problems so far. The problems came after he finished playing. Since then I am unable to restore the resolution to 1024 x 786. When I make the switch in the System Prefs, the screen goes black. The screen is still on but it is black and stays black. If I restart in 9.2 there is no problem and I can adjust the resolution and color depth as I choose. Any ideas how I can reset the resolution here? Wondering if a file has been corrupted or something like that. Oh, one more item. When I upgraded to 10.1.5 I also ran an update for the LTPro video card. This was the RageProFix recommended by MacFixIt.
