Is anybody here happy with using their iBooks or small screen 
PowerBooks as desktop machines?  Do you hook up an extra keyboard and 
mouse?  Happy with the small screen?  Or do you hook up a larger 
monitor?  Elevate the laptop on a stand?


Any helpful hints welcome!  Oh, has anyone tried using a laptop like 
this and found it best to move on to a conventional desktop or 
tower/monitor setup?


Al,

I saved up my pennies and bought the same iBook you have last October. 
I have a gigE dual 450 G4 that used to be my main machine, but now 
this iBook is it. The G4 is still in the same place  on my desk but is 
now acting as a server for the most part. I love the portability of 
this iBook, I use it everywhere in the house, I even put it on the 
book holder of my exercise bike and do a little web surfing while 
riding the bike. I also find it nice to have while waiting for my kids 
at the different lessons I take them to all week. I love this iBook, 
it has replaced my desktop 100%. I do like having everything I do on 
this iBook, I think that is part of the draw, it would be hard to have 
some things on this and some things on a desktop. I guess it all comes 
down to personal preference and how you work.


Now, you did say you could buy a new iMac and set it up, I have to 
admit, if I had the cash on hand I might buy a new iMac and replace 
the old beige G3 we have in our kitchen. :)


take care,
Kevin Avery


I use my G4 iBook as my main computer. I'm a heavy user often on my 
'book 10+ hrs a day, but my son brought his new G5 iMac home over 
winter break.  There's no comparison.  The iMac is awesome.  If I had 
to choose one it would be the iMac.  The screen, the speed.  You'll be 
much more productive on it.

Re: REPOST: How can I connect Wallstreet II/ OS 9.2.2 to iBook 500/ OS X 10.3.9?

[Matt Kane's Brain]

I think you may need to manually set up ip addresses on each powerbook. 
This is not difficult, but your original post leads to believe that you 
may not agree. :)


On the OSX machine, go to System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet -> 
Configure and type in 192.168.1.1 for IP address and 255.255.255.0 for 
Subnet mask. If you use Ethernet on that PowerBook regularly, you will 
probably want to create a new Location before doing this.


On the OS 9 machine, you need to go into the Control Panel for TCP/IP 
and do pretty much the same, but use 192.168.1.2 for your IP address.

Dear List-mate,

I imagined this was an easy question, but I've never done it, and 
don't know

how.

How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and 
an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy 
files from

one to the other?

Here's the equipment I have available to me which might prove useful:

- USB A-B cables and a Belkin USB hub

- straight and crossover ethernet cables,

- D-Link DWL Wireless USB adapter,

- 2 USB Bluetooth adapters- a D-Link Bluetooth DBT-120, and a Mitsumi
CE0197,

- Belkin 802.11B PCMCIA CardBus Wireless Notebook Network Card 
F506020.



I don't know which device and/or cable to use, for what, and how. I 
don't
know whether to attach these before startup, which machine to start 
first,
which control panels to set up on each machine, and in what order, 
etc.


Do any of these units require drivers which may need to be installed 
in

either system?

Does one of the machines have to be a master and the other a slave?

Does one of the operating systems have to have control over the other?

Have you ever done this? Please tell me how! If you really know how, 
will

you please explain it step-by-step?

Has someone written a simple guide to how to do this, which I can 
download &
read? I've checked MacHelp for "connecting two (or 2) powerbooks" and 
have

found nothing which seems to address this topic.

Also, if you're attempting to respond to this appeal, please be kind 
enough
to copy my email with your answer, to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
since
I've been receiving a large percentage of "bounce" messages relating

Correct.  Many homeowner's policies cover personal possessions from 
loss, accidents, etc.  If I leave my iBook sitting in the airport, drop 
it down the steps, spill a drink on it, it's covered. (minus the 
deductible of course, up to the policy limit, which is $3500 in my 
case.)  A few years back my son's bicycle was stolen while he was at a 
friend's house.  Covered.

Check with your agent.

I'd like to have opinions on what I should do with my daughter's iBook.
Back in September 2004, I purchased a 12", 1GHz iBook for my daughter.  
All
was well and she was very happy.

About a month ago, she called me and said that her iBook was suddenly  
acting
strangely. I went over and noticed that the display would only show
vertical, narrow colored lines on a black background. I think I posted  
to
the list about what the problem could be.

In anycase, I asked her what happened and she said "nothing". I was a  
little
suspicious because after having used a PowerBook for more than 3  
years, I
know that things cannot get wrong all of a sudden for no reason.

I took the iBook, still under warranty, to the closest Apple store. The
genius looked at it and said there was obviously something wrong with  
the
main logic board and said they would have to send it to the Apple's  
repair
facility.

3 days later, I've got an email from the Apple repair facility asking  
me to
call them because they had discovered a problem. I knew that this  
wouldn't
be good so I called my daughter immediately and told her what was  
happening
and that before calling Apple, I wanted to have the truth. Sure enough,
something wrong happened. She actually spilled water over the keyboard  
and
since she didn't know what to do and didn't want to tell me, you can  
imagine
the consequences.

So, I called Apple and they confirmed what I had just found out. There  
was
still liquid residues on the motherboard and this had shorted the  
display
circuit. It seems that the computer is still working fine because I  
was able
to boot it in target disk mode just fine.

Anyway, Apple quoted me at over $750 to replace the motherboard of the  
iBook
who was purchased for $1000.

So, what are my options here? I thought I could maybe find a  
replacement for
less and replace it myself, since I have disassembled various  
PowerBooks and
was able to put them back together and they still worked. However, that
would probably void her warranty. OTOH, my experience is that the  
warranty
might not be that helpful and will be running out anyway in a few  
months.

So, what are you people suggesting?
Thanks for any opinion!
-Laurent.

Re: Dead (ish) Wallstreet help ?

[Matt and Sue Halter]

First, after you do shift-Fn-ctl-power  and the fan runs hit the power 
button again.

Second, a bad keyboard will give you startup problems.  Do you have 
access to another keyboard?

Third, I saw the tech in our High School bring more things back to life 
by resetting the pram.  She would reset it at least 3 times before 
trying anything else.  Here's the drill if need to refresh:
  1. Locate the keys Command, Option, P, and R.

  2. Make sure the Caps Lock key is not down.
  3. Restart your Macintosh (using the Command, Control, and Power 
keys or the reset button, if necessary).
  Immediately after hearing the startup sound, press the Command, 
Option, P, and R keys simultaneously. If you don't hold down the key 
combination within 5 and 10 seconds after you restart, you may need to 
repeat steps 1 through 3.

  4. Hold down the keys until you hear the startup sound again.
  5. If the computer shuts itself off, press the Power key to turn 
it back on.

  6. When the computer has finished starting up, restore any custom 
control panel and network settings.

Also, does it exhibit this behavior plugged in and unplugged, battery 
only?  Have you tried to startup from a system CD?

I think a dead pram battery can also cause startup problems.  Sometimes 
it can be revived by leaving the computer plugged in for a few days.

First thing to try is to reseat the processor card. Make sure it

Next would be to replace the processor.

Re: Wallstreet vs iBook G3-G4

[Matt and Sue Halter]

My wallstreet w/bluechip 466 G3 will run many programs faster under OSX 
than my 800 G4 iBook, even though I have 640 mb ram in the iBook and 
only 256 in the WS.  I think it has to do with the difference in L2 
cache size as much as anything.  Just speculation though.

Part of it also was the EXTREMELY positive experience that I had with 
my
previous 12" G4 (1.0 GHz), and while I'm sure that the 15" is just as
reliable and well made, the 12" really fits the way I use a laptop.

So far, I really don't notice much of a performance difference, 
although my
1GHz book already had a fast 5400RPM TravelStar drive like the new one 
does.
There are small differences though.  The new scrolling trackpad is very
nice, and only took me about a minute to get used to (no more SideTrack
driver), and the keyboard feels even better, if such a thing is 
possible.
I'm scoring the keyboard as just production variance, but it is 
possible
that somewhere in the last two years that Apple may have switched 
suppliers
or just improved on the design, as the keys are both quieter and a 
little
crisper in feel, VERY NICE.

Everything else is about the same.  I don't have any BT devices so I 
can't
test the new BT speed.  I'll install "Knights of the Old Republic" and
"Return to Castle Wolfenstein" over the weekend and I'm sure the 
difference
of 50% faster processor speed and double the VRAM will make a huge
difference.

In all, I cannot complain.  With my student pricing (they gave it to 
me even
though I graduated at the end of July) I ended up with a 1.5GHz, 80GB 
HD,
SuperDrive and AirPort Extreme for the same price I paid for the 1GHz 
with a
40GB slow drive and the add-on AirPort Extreme card last year.  What a 
deal!

Re: iBook question again

[Matt Halter]

Aase,
My advice is to buy one with the faster processor.  My G4 800 is a dog 
compared to my wife's 1 gig mhz.  The 30 gig HD  is too small.  You'll 
run out of space fast especially if you have lots of music or photos. 
Built in bluetooth is nice but I would trade it off to get a faster 
processor and larger HD.  Just my 2 cents.

Re: Will PC133 sodimm work in a clamshell?

[Matt]

Yeah it should work, the clamshell will just slow it
down to match its own bus speed. The interesting thing
is that most on-line memory retailers will note that
the memory they have for all Clamshells are rated at
PC100 speed i.e. 100MHz, but the Clamshell's bus
operates at 66MHz. So when you stick a PC100 memory
stick in, the computer will run it at PC66 speed. It
should do the same with a PC133 memory stick too.

Yeah but that doesn't stop us using it, and it being

All for free.

Audion is now free for download!

[Matt]

In case anyone doesn't know, Audion (an MP3 player a
bit like iTunes) has now been made completely free for
download for both OS8,9 and OSX. There's a recent
article on Low End Mac that mentions it and it really
is quite cool to use. 

Definitely worth 2.9Mb of anyone's downloading time.

Re: lombard & diablo 2

[Matt]

I had this game for a while and played it on my iBook
466SE with 320Mb ram. It played pretty well, a few
pauses here and there which I put down to the 66MHz
bus and the slower HDD that spins at 4200rpm. 

I think this because I also had it loaded on an iMac
450MHz with a 100MHz bus and 5400 rpm HDD. That ran
the game with less hiccups, almost perfect I think. 

Yes, I would invest in more ram for your lombard, but
before you do, try messing around with the games
settings. You can turn off things like shadows and
some sort of 3D trick which can help run the game
faster. I think graphic detail can be turned down as
well. 

The other thing is to see if you have the latest
version of Open GL installed. You can download this
from Apple. In theory that can make a difference too,
but I'm not technically minded enough to know if it
does. Something like each new version of Open GL
improves graphics and maths routines to make things
move better...

An internal CDRW for Wallstreet powerbook

[Matt Patoray]

Hi all,
I have been wondering if it is possible to install a PC type CDRW drive 
in the case for the 20x CD-ROM drive in a wallstreet G3 powerbook?

And if so what models do you recommend.

Re: laptop comparison?/photoshop

Actually you can buy new iBooks from MCE with superdrives installed for 
about $200 extra.  Usually includes upgraded hard drive and ram as 
well.  Not a bad deal.

Matt


The iBooks do not have the Superdrive option either so that was 
another draw to the PB.

 All the tray loading iMacs had this problem. They were very fragile.
Funny, my tray loading iMac has worked from day one.  Guess you are 
lying to make a point since "all" tray loaders don't have this problem.


 The standard CD drive that came in my PC that was manufactured around 
the same time as the iMac had a much sturdier design. The system 
worked without it but it had to be sent in to an AARS to be fixed. If 
the design had been similar to most desktop PCs or Power Macs the 
drive could have been taken out and sent in to be replaced instead of 
the whole computer.
The standard drive that was in your PC wouldn't have fit. Secondly, in 
less than 10 minutes you can pull those drives, you didn't have to send 
the whole computer.  But if you did I bet you got the whole computer 
checked out not only the drive.



That's because it really isn't any better. That's just a myth.
The fact that you personally can't discern a difference doesn't mean 
it's a myth.  It's only your opinion.

 I'm not sure where you put those two ideas together. I still maintain 
it was a design flaw, and the Extension Program supports this. 
Regarding it being an "issue" had to do with Apple being dishonest 
about the issue.

Again, simply because it's your belief that it's a design flaw doesn't 
mean it actually is one.  You have offered no technical evidence, only 
anecdotal evidence.  My son has owned one of the effected iBooks 
without problems.  Secondly, if Apple had not yet determined what the 
issue was I don't think you can call them liars for saying there was no 
known issue, unless you have specific evidence when they determined the 
problem.

Me and 2000 other people. You can go ahead and call each one of them 
out on the issue if you like.

2000 out of almost a million iBooks sold.  2 tenths of one percent.  
How bout you call the almost 998,000 folks who haven't had a problem.  
That'll give you a different perspective, eh?

That doesn't change the fact that users of iBooks that aren't covered 
are left out in the cold.
Sorry, life isn't fair sometimes.

Re: Any way to import video into a Wall Street Powerbook?

[Matt Halter]

I can vouch for the Capsure, but it will only import analog video.  It 
doesn't digitize it.  Your best bet is to use something like the ADS 
Pyro Pro (which will digitize your analog video and import and export 
in multiple ways) and you could import via firewire PC card (which I 
think would be fastest way to transfer video to the hard drive). I 
don't know of any PC card that will import and digitize at the same 
time.  There are some digital video cameras that allow you to run 
analog video into them and they digitize it for you.  Some of those 
export in USB as well as Firewire.

Re: Wallstreet Woes -- Commiserators welcome

[Matt Halter]

I would suggest 1) resetting the pram 3 times.  2) Reset Power manager. 
 3) Reseat ram chips and processor.  4) Pull one ram chip at a time and 
try the computer with the other chip to test them.  5) Sometimes a 
failing keyboard can cause strange symptoms on the Wallstreet.  These 
steps have all cured similar problems on my Wallstreet II.

Then, one day it woke up and decided to function only occasionally. I

I've tried reinstalling OS 10, deleting OS 10, lots of things, like

But despite all my best efforts, the unit continues to have 
difficulty. I've
done away with OS 10 completely. Running OS 9.2.2 (or 9.1 on the other
partition) and am running extensions I know are compatible on my other 
mac
units. Yet the computer continues to have intermittent freeze ups-- 
well not
really intermittent-- I can count on at least once a day.

I've gone back to using my pb 1400; but I'd like to use the wallstreet 
again
someday, due to bigger screen, and especially, enough RAM to run 
photoshop.

If anyone has experienced similar wallstreet woes, and has an answer, 
I'm
all ears. Of if this situation "sounds familiar" maybe you have a
suggestion.

Thanks to all

Re: wallstreet and 256mb ram module = update

[Matt Halter]

John,

My understanding when I bought my Powerlogix upgrade was the card would 
not officially support more than 128mb ram in either slot (256 total)  
Although I believe a few folks were able to have more recognized, it 
seemed to be hit or miss.  The Sonnet upgrades recognize 512mb.

How much do you want for them.  I might be able to use them in my 
daughter's iMac.

Re: Last iBook/PowerBook that starts up on OS9?

[Matt Halter]

You are incorrect.  Any G3 iBook will dual boot.  Check the Special 
Deals section of the Apple Store.  It specifically says the 800/900mhz 
iBooks will dual boot.

Re: Moving from 9 to X

[Matt Halter]

There is no need to wait.  As we just saw last week ANY update can have 
a problem.  OS X is very good as is.  I have been running X on my 
wallstreet since the first week it was out--a true early adopter.  It 
takes about a week to break your old habits.  My only question is why 
now?

Re: Which Powerbook?

[Matt Halter]

The speed tests I've seen put the iBook even or faster than the little 
Al Book, except when using software that uses the G4's altivec.  IBooks 
get more run time when on battery power, especially the 14".  What you 
describe your wife will be doing the iBook will handle no sweat.  
Worked as computer tech in High School this past year. We had approx. 
120 ibooks in use, around 40 used by teachers.  Never heard one 
complaint about speed and most of them were using 600mhz/700mhz ibooks 
doing exactly what you say your wife will do.  We used iBooks to do all 
our presentations.  Very easy.  Bought my son a 800mhz 12" iBook for 
Christmas, we haven't been disappointed.  That said, the practical 
advantages to the Al book are it has airport extreme, they're now 
making Gig ram chips for it (doubles ibook)(in the OS X era that can be 
important), and it has the way cool aluminum exterior.  If I were you 
I'd buy an ibook and spend what I saved not getting the al book on an 
ipod.(Apple had special deal on ibook/ipod purchase).  In a year, if 
it's not fast enough, sell it and buy a new G5 laptop.  Just my 2 cents.

My wife is buying a new Powerbook to go with her new teaching job. So 
the question is, which one?
My suggestion is for the 12" G4. My reasoning is that it represents 
the most recent technology, where the 15" TiBook is a bit older design 
and the iBook even older with a G3 processor. It also is very small 
and light--a plus.
Still, it would be nice to have a bigger screen than the 12". If that 
were so, how would the 14" iBook go versus the 867mhz TiBook.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: DVD on Wallstreet

[Matt Halter]

I don't have my OS X handbook with me but I remember reading about a 
problem with OS 9 not being able to boot.  I don't remember the 
solution but I know there was one.  If I can get to my book tomorrow 
I'll send you the info.  In the meantime, I've had several computers 
with OS X not want to boot off the 9 disk.  A re-install(not a clean 
install) of X took care of the problem sometimes.  Also, try resetting 
the power manager and pram. A couple weeks ago my wife's Wallstreet 
wouldn't boot from anything and out of desperation I reset the PM and 
pram and got it to at least begin booting off a CD.  Can't explain why 
that worked, but may be worth a try if you haven't already.

As an aside--Most of my mac using friends feel it is asking for trouble 
installing X over 9.  They all recommend wiping the disk and starting 
fresh.  I was a doubter, but the more I see, the more I think they may 
be right.

Hmm, so you did install onto the Wallstreet with the CD before 
installing X?
Or did you use a separate CD? The thing is, if you cannot boot using 
the CD
you installed 9 with... then there is a problem with the CD or your

It does sound like your HD is going south though... the best way to 
check is
to boot off the 10.2.x Install CD and run Disk Utility, or from the OS

Re: Buying new Powerbook

[Matt Halter]

Your assumptions are not entirely accurate.  I bought my son's ibook 
for $1200.  Used average on ebay at the time, for combo drive older 
model only about $130 less with slower processor, smaller hard drive, 
slower combo drive, and weaker video card, out of warranty.  SmallDog 
selling Apple refurbed 800mhz combo drives for under $1000 for next 3 
days.  I'm willing to bet doesn't lose anymore value in next couple of 
years vs. pismo at $800 used which is what I was comparing value to on 
my post.  For this price why wait?  The performance/value/$$ ratio is 
as good or better than used.

Ummm.. not meaning any offense, but why? The last time I bought a new
computer was in 1990. That was a high-end 386 IIRC, close to being
cutting-edge (for the time), and the reason I bought it new was because
there were few on the secondhand market.
An iBook is by definition not cutting-edge - it is value-priced. Much
better plan, IMHO, to let someone else take the computer off the shelf
and incur the resultant devaluation whack. I simply don't see the
percentage in buying a new (new) computer unless either:
a) a specific model is required for something, e.g. college course, or
b) it's a gift for someone else, or
c) you simply must have the BEST and LATEST now.
Simple economics: the same money that will buy you a new mediocre
computer will buy you a couple-of-years-old-cutting-edge model.

Re: Buying new Powerbook

[Matt Halter]

I don't have any firsthand knowledge with the Pismo but from everything 
I've seen they are rock solid.  If you want something that is 
upgradeable the Pismo is your ticket.  I had the opportunity to work in 
my local High School for the last 7 wks of school as the Computer Lab 
assistant and all the hardware problems were funneled through me to the 
district tech.  We averaged one iBook being sent out for warranty work 
a week while I was there, (we had 110 in the building you do the 
math-None of them were the newer 800 or 900mhz models.), all because of 
the well documented screen/cable problem.  I would be wary of buying an 
older iBook used/out of warranty/Applecare.  That being said, they were 
loved by the teachers who used them and everything else seemed to work 
great.  We bought my son a new 800mhz combo ibook last Christmas and he 
won't give it up for anything. It simply rocks.  If you shop hard you 
can find new/refurbished iBooks very reasonable.  SmallDog had their 
refurbished 14" 700Mhz combo's on sale for $1065 this past weekend.  
New 700mhz CD only under $800.  If it were up to me I'd pony up for a 
new iBook- its the first "new" mac I've bought in the last 13 years.  
And I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Speed is certianly a primary consideration but what about things like 
the quality of construction?  Is the iBook as well made as the Pismo 
or is it going to fall apart?  What about the feel of the keyboard?  
Things that make up the daily experience of using the computer.  So if 
you had the oportunity to buy a Pismo or an iBook for say, $800 and 
the hard drive, RAM, etc where all about the same; which would you get

One thing to consider is that only the more recent iBooks (last two

significant difference to speed.

(I know flat screen is the biz when it comes to screens, but IMO
when it comes to Macquariums, curved screens are the biz...   ;o)
My bow-fronted aquariums look much larger than the flat ones due to the

Re: Macquarium (OT)

[Matt Peacock]

Ah, thats ok then.

I've dealt with loads of people before who just open up things with 
capacitors the size of a house, and look blank when you say "No, thats 
dangerous. Bad.".

For polishing the coating off, I recommend brasso. It gets rid of 
anything! Once you have it clean wash it in hot water a number of 
times, I would think that would be fine. Do you know the clarity of 
screens? (I don't) Are you certain you will get a satisfactory result, 
as far as i know they are quite think and also would the 'mesh' be a 
problem?

It's a nice idea nonetheless, would certainly look fantastic if 
successful.

Re: Macquarium

[Matt Peacock]

Please do not do this.

Screens are under extreme pressure. They also hold a substantial charge 
even after being turned off. I am very worried you could get seriously 
injured. Also the coating in a screen would no doubt be toxic to fish. 
I do not know what it is, if anyone does post it and I'll tell you if 
it is or not.

Re: Unreal Tournament on Pismo?

[Matt Peacock]

Yes you'll be fine, UT is very CPU dependent, and you have no problems 
there. Your 8MB will render an excellent 640x480 game and a very good 
800x600 game, you'll find you can set the detail levels quite high 
as-well. For internet play, you might want to knock down the number of 
players by a couple.

That is, if you are talking about the original Unreal Tournament. If 
you are talking about UT2003, forget it. People with dual 1.25GHz are 
getting crap frame-rates out of it, hopefully patches will bring it up 
to speed.

Hi,

I have a Pismo upgraded to 1Gb RAM, 900MHz G3, and I was wondering if

I really miss multi-player mode over the Internet

Re: Are there any alternatives to Aqua window manager?

[Matt Peacock]

I completely understand. I have a PowerBook G4 and still notice the 
sluggishness. Even Classic is fantastically snappy compared to X.
The reason is that OS X has fantastic multi-tasking capabilities, at 
the sacrifice of UI responsiveness. OS 9 stops everything while you 
hold down the mouse button, OS X stops nothing.

Apple's own internal tests cited this as a major focus area (along with 
boot-up and login time), and one that has been tackled in Panther. 
Although it pains me to say it, it looks as if you are going to have to 
shell out for another OS upgrade.

get no noticeable improvements.
The "eye candy" may look good but I'm getting quite fed up with it. 
When you work with a computer on an everyday basis it's hard to accept 
the time you loose while looking at window animations and transparent 
menus.
I'm thinking of buying one of the faster Powerbook G4 but I'd like to 
see Apple try to please their costumers, even the ones that don't have 
the money to buy a new computer, before a give (a lot) of my money to 
them.
I once tried Yellow Dog on the Pismo. Color correction was all wrong - 
the LCD was rather bluish, the OpenGL drivers were buggy but the 
screen was Fast! Faster than the 1GHz Pentium III with Redhat/Sawfish 
I use at work. Why is OS X/Aqua like this? Even computer games have 
performance tunning options.
Anyone has any sugestions?

Re: Webcam and NetMeeting ?

Now If I could only find a good website telling me how to set up the 
cam as
a webcam (that old style, non streaming, new pic every 10 secs), I'd be
happy ... Nowadays looking for that in google only reveals xxx stuff ..
Have you tried looking for info like that on something like techtv.com? 
I was just thinking that if you could find a site with some decent 
information on it, you could bypass the xxx. Otherwise the boards at 
macaddict.com have been helpful for me.

Just a thought if you havent given those a go yet.

Yep, I'm sure.

MacRumors.com (of which I'm a member and completely agree with you) 
don't seem to have been emailed yet, and usually they comply straight

Re: RAM upgrade crashing OS X in PB Lombard

To be honest, I havent had any major OSX problems like this except for

Either way, good luck, I am sure it will work out.

Re: Webcam and NetMeeting ?

Although not much help at the moment, OS 10.3 (Panther's) version of

You may find that 10.3 will natively support your cam them. I am hoping 
it will, I have about 4 web-cams knocking around the house and not one

Re: Has anyone replaced the sound-out plug for a Pismo (Itripped& broke mine)

[Matt Peacock]

most techs use plastic bins - you can get them at Office Max, Office 
Depot, etc etc, and at most computer stores that also sell tools - 
MicroCenter, Fry's, etc. effectively, they're just like ice-cube 
trays, but with more compartments and a top.

Yep, thats what I do, it's very useful (once you've taken a few laptops 
apart and NOT marked what goes where, you'll understand how important 
this is. No you won't remember when you come back to it the next day!)

lots of techs also use paper cups in mostly the same way, but they 
stack the paper cups as they go.

Now there's a good idea...

There was a rumor a while back that Apple were developing a new 'pro

this one was flat on the mouse), and two buttons.

I don't know the validity/reliability of the rumor, but it was around

Re: 17" PowerBook

[Matt Peacock]

Granted. but if the majority of users dont want 2 button mouses, or 
will plan on buying a more professional mouse than a simple 2 button 
mouse, why should apple put the money into it? especially if it would 
contradict the apple design philosophy.

you have to keep in mind that with the imac line, and even the emac, 
apple has been courting the consumer market, not the power users. So 
the majority of new purchases will either be from people who want the 
simple apple design, or you have a high end power user who will 
purchase a kensington pro trackball, regardless of whether or not 
apple produces a 2 button mouse.

As i see it, those are the two major markets apple caters to, with the 
rest of us falling in the middle. and for those of us who would like a 
2 button mouse, it isnt going to affect our decision to buy either > way.

anyways.. thats how i see it. and quite personally, i think that 2 
buttons on my pismo would really ruin the almost seamless design of 
the body.

No no no, I completely agree with you, the amount of time I spend 
trying to explain when to use the right button, when to double click, I 
stand by Apple's decision for a one-button mouse. (especially when 
working with some people who randomly press the left or right button 
depending on how they feel!), I was just saying that money isn't THAT 
tight!

It is funny when ignorant PC users say you can't upgrade macs, then 
complain they come with one-button mice. Perhaps the simplest upgrade 
of all would be to unplug the Apple mouse and plug in a Logitech 
mouse!!! Of all the Windows PC's I have, only one is still using the 
mouse it came with, and that's because I dropped the replacement one 
down the stairs, so to me the fact PC's come with 2-button mice is 
irrelevant, I replace them anyway.

About the clean lines, I agree that the laptops would loose some of 
their finesse, but how about a 'rocker' button design and a system 
preference, default is one-button operation, but 'advanced' users can 
set it to two button operation. (just a possible solution, not one that 
I anticipate or expect Apple to implement)

Personally I have a wireless Microsoft mice on my Macs, I can 
right-click and scroll to my hearts content.

Re: 17" PowerBook

[Matt Peacock]

No.  I'm saying that Apple's resources are rather tight, and the 
company
needs to focus on more important problems than esoteric user 
preferences.

The users are the ones who give them the money

Re: 17" PowerBook

[Matt Peacock]

When Apple can afford to lose over $300 million per year from their 
home
entertainment division, I'm sure Apple can then address your concerns.

Eugene Lee
So, your saying that becasue apple dosent have a lot of money they 
should
make crapy products? Hmm, maybe I missed somthing? Casue that makes no 
sence
at all, and dont try and tell me they dont have enough cash to
engineer(Read: "Basically COPY") a scroll mouse design.

I'm not sure I understand this discussion, can someone please 
elaborate? Especially Eugenes comment.

Apple have 41b cash, plus even more tied up in investments, money to 
develop a mouse is not an issue.

PowerBook G4 12"/17" Battery Problems

[Matt Peacock]

Hi,

I, along with other G-Books members gave some advice to someone on this 
list for their powerbook battery not reaching full charge, if I 
remember correctly they had it replaced.

Just reading the service manual and if the computer charges to 95% or 
under, replace the DC board, ie, if anyones battery doesn't get past 
95%, send it in for repair.

Just thought you'd all like to know in case anyone else is experiencing 
this.

Re: 17" Powerbook

[Matt Peacock]

I couldn't quite stretch to a 17", so I got a 12", but I know a couple 
of people who have one and the ONLY thing they have said so far is:

You can't use it on trains/planes unless you are in 1st/business class.
However they also say that after a few weeks using it, you will never 
go back to a smaller screen laptop.

I know very little about this, but was recently fiddling with the

While all replies about how hard to answer this question are, the 
simple answer, which i think is all you were looking for is, that AAC @ 
128 kbps is a very good rate for the average listener, and better than 
mp3 @ 128kbps.

I believe that apple says that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

i hope that helps. I used to encode my mp3's at 160kbps, and I was 
pretty happy with that, and I have been pleased with AAC at 128kbps. I 
think the best thing you could do would be trial and error though.

Re: iTunes Importing

[Matt Peacock]

Which kbps setting is best for input to iTunes of OTC jazz CDs?

It all depends what you are listening to the music through, how much 
you appreciate audio quality and how much space you have on your hard 
drive/iPod.

It's very hard to give a definitive answer to this sort of question.

Re: PDF files

[Matt Peacock]

Even if you are fortunate enough to own Acrobat or Acrobat Exchange, a
.pdf file may be "protected" by the originator so that it cannot be
altered. A password can be set when the file is originated.
Using Acrobat Reader 5, you can print to PDF, then import into Acrobat, 
thereby getting round the protection.

This is why Adobe removed Print to PDF in Acrobat 6.

Re: 12" Speed

[Matt Peacock]

Considering you did not read the post Todd, I find it very hard to 
accept what you have just said.

I did not cry about censorship, I merely stated the fact that when I 
posted about the problem it was deleted and I was sent the posted 
email. You have taken my comments out of context and exaggerated them. 
I completely understand the need for Apple to preserve a company image, 
and I have no intention of running them down, on the contrary I sing 
their praises every opportunity I get.

The rules are clear, being a member, and moderator, of many forums, I 
know what is and is not acceptable for discussion. I did not start a 
complaint, I was completely professional in asking for people's 
opinions on the speed, how to improve it, and was it possibly just my 
machine with a fault. The fact that Apple got very defensive about this 
is out of my hands, however not listening to the consumers is a 
self-defeating prophecy, once again I draw your attention to the MDD 
fans and the Airport deaths. Apple clearly states the discussion boards 
are there for users to post their problems, they have become a massive 
part of customer support. After paying $1800 for this machine, and 
approximately $10,000 in the last two years on Apple hardware and 
software, and being repeatedly told about the forums, I did not see an 
issue in posting an OBSERVATION.

Finally apologies to the list nanny, while typing this I received the 
request to cease discussion. I understand this has now gone off-topic, 
but my original reply to Scott's message was completely on topic, and I 
do not appreciate having judgments made abut me from that reply.

Re: 12" Speed

[Matt Peacock]

Same thoughts here, and we're not alone, many people on both 
MacRumors.com and Apple's own discussion boards have commented on this.

Unfortunately putting it on Apple's boards got me a threatening email 
saying if I did it again my ISP would be informed and my IP blocked 
from registering or posting again.

Everyone seems to agree it is a collection of issues, which could be 
solved by:
- Firmware update (to solve the dreadfully slow booting)
- Graphics drivers (current implementation is very, very poor)
- OS Updates (the cynic in me says Apple will put this into 10.3, as an 
incentive, imagine a post on Apple's discussion boards saying "I just 
installed 10.3 on my 12/15/17" PB and WOW! I never knew the machine 
could go that fast, every-thing's snappy, my frame-rates in games have 
improved no end etc etc")

I suppose all you can do for now is ensure you have the latest updates 
from Apple (10.2.6, Bluetooth update, CD firmware update, iMovie 3.0.3, 
iSync 1.1, Quicktime 6.3 etc etc)

Re: PowerBook 12" Battery

[Matt Peacock]

Apple seem to be very polar.

I've had cases where I've been on the phone less than 10 minutes, have 
had a full apology, replacements sent out (and sometimes a 
complimentary gift), with boxes for sending the offending component 
back.

Other times I've had the dreaded "It is not a problem, that is normal" 
or the even worse "It falls within the computers specification".

It all depends who you talk to I suppose.

Re: PowerBook 12" Battery

Only going up to 76% is NOT normal, call Apple service, they'll either:

a) Send you a new battery and a box to send them your old battery
b) Ask you to send them your laptop and they'll test the battery and 
the laptop.

Hope it's fixed soon!

Re: PowerBook 12" Battery

[Matt Peacock]

OS X stops charging when it reaches (usually 90-90%), to prevent lots 
of rapid discharges and re-charges damaging the battery.

Your iPod is probably drawing charge and affecting this, disconnect the 
iPod and see what charge you reach before it stops, if it is still 88%, 
phone Apple support.

(do i make myself clear?)
try plugging in your pb when it has less than 93%
battery life, the
charge will hopefully go up to 100%.

Thanks. The only thing is is it happens to me to no
matter where the charge is. Last night it was 46% when
I plugged it in and it quit charging (or saying it was
charging) at 88%. Was the reading wrong? Could it
actually have been 93% or more charged?

Re: Warning; Mail lies!

[matt dudek]

When I deleted the discontinued email address from the preferences, 
all that mail disappeared; in spite of a popup appearing to say all 
would be safe. Of course, putting the address back in did not bring 
back the emails.

BE WARNED!

Could they be anywhere else? A search revealed nothing.

Stuart.

did you look in user/ library/ mail and in there are where that users 
.mbox files are. i've had luck moving .mbox files around before. 
although, if they arent there i dont know what to tell you..

good luck.

Re: TDK Velo-CD burner and Pismo

[matt dudek]

That machine shipped with 9, and 128mb is plenty to Run 9.
Actually, it only shipped with 64, but i bumped it up to 192 with a 
deal when i bought it.

kinda crazy to think 64mb was ever good enough for anything after just 
a few years of 'progress.'

Pismo Replacement LCD

[Matt Dudek]

Hi, I have a G3 Pismo with a broken LCD. I'm too poor to simply have 
someone else repair it. So i cracked it open and removed the LCD, but 
now I need to put a new one in it.

The Pismo shipped in two revs. the first rev shipped with the Samsung 
LT141X7-124, and the second rev. shipped with the LG.Philips LP141XA. 
In checking with a friend who had to replace his LCD in his Pismo he 
said that the connections for the Samsung, and the LG.Philips looked 
identical, but I'm afraid that the voltages would be different or there 
would be some other reason I couldnt replace my samsung LCD with the LG 
LCD.

In short, can I;

1. replace my Samsung LCD with the LG display?

2. or does anyone know another LCD I can replace it with?

3. does anyone know a place to buy a Samsung LCD for under $200 (ebay 
doesnt haveit, i checked.)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Matt Dudek

My understanding is it is OS 9 only.  No intention to develope OS 10 
drivers.
I don't know of any 3rd party drivers.

Re: Powerbook G3

[Matt Halter]

I don't use Office but my wife does at work and she says its slow.  I 
have that same printer and it only slows way down when you print a photo 
at the best setting.  For normal documents it is pretty spiffy, much 
faster than my newer photosmart 1115.  I've used it with my Wallstreet 
II (266mhz/192mb) and it worked fine, spitting out almost 8 pages of 
double spaced text in a minute.

Have you updated the drivers?  The latest versions are available for 
download at hp.com.  Does it print just as slow when printing from other 
programs?  If you're running OS9 or earlier increase the memory 
allocated to Office 98.  Turn off virtual memory if you are using it, 
especially if her hard drive is full, that may make a difference.

Re: Memory

[Matt Halter]

The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.  It's very simple.  All 
you have to do is unscrew a couple screws and then do some gentle 
prying.  I've got some easy to follow directions I can send you if 
you're ever interested.

Re: Wallstreet firewire pc card q?

[Matt Halter]

Firewire works fine on Wallstreet.  The MHZ limit is really what you 
need to process digital video adequately.  Now the speeds you get moving 
data will not be as good as say the new iBooks, but it will certainly 
connect you no problem.  It will only limit the burn speed of a burner 
you hook up or drop some frames of video compared to the newest chipsets.

Re: Upgrade

[Matt Halter]

I can't argue with your reasoning.  I'm not asking for a freebie ,but, I 
feel like if I was their guinea pig, working through the beta version on 
up, they ought to give me a break.  Jaguar wouldn't be here without some 
of us willing to take the time and $$$ to work through the teething of 
OS X. As I listened to the keynote this morning I reacted negatively to 
the pricing of Jaguar (although I'm amazed at what's in it, and can't 
argue with the value you're getting).  I did react positively to paying 
for .mac.  I think .mac is the first thing on the internet I really 
won't mind paying for directly.  Go figure.

Re: Comments on the "Jaguar" (OS 10.2) upgrade policy (there is NONE)?

[Matt Halter]

Jaguar sounds fantastic, but, unless I upgrade from my wallstreet II and 
older iMacs I can't really make use of all its speed and power.  If I do 
upgrade my hardware I won't have to shell out the big bucks just for 
Jaguar.  I really expected to get a price break on the upgrade since I 
bought my newest iMac only 7 months ago and it came with 10.1   Maybe 
the pricing is to motivate us older hardware owners to upgrade.
That's how I'm looking at it.

I know it's been ugly with powerlogix and replacements.  But I've had a

Re: Normal Temperature (was Re: Fan in Pismo)

I don't know what "normal" temperature is, but chips usually have an
auto-shutdown mechanism if it gets too hot to operate safely.  I have a
Wallstreet 233 (cacheless) with 192 MB RAM, and an upgraded hard disk and
processor (466 w/ 1MB@233).  I think the previous owner messed up some of
the thermal paste that was on there (among countless other things), so mine
probably runs on the hot side.  Gauge PRO typically reports a temperature of
62-65C, though that's with it propped up on books on my desk for
circulation.  I've seen it go as high as 80, perhaps even higher.
Regardless, I still have stability problems that I think are heat-related
(as I was typing this post up, the machine locked up--good thing Entourage
saved my message.)

Floppy Drive for PB G3

[Matt Reiff]

Quick question.  Anyone know where I might pick up a cheap floppy drive for
a Wallstreet?  I dropped a bag containing that, a bunch of disks, and a zip
100 drive; everything survived with negligible damage except for the floppy
drive.  Looks like the r/w head is trash, as is the mechanism.  Anyone have
info on where I could obtain one inexpensively, of perhaps have one they're
looking to get rid of?

TIA.

Desktop?  There's a desktop under here??  Well, I'll be.

Someone else, can't remember who, said this would not be the case because
the desktop is just another folder.  Not true--the desktop is on display all
of the time, meaning that all of the icons constantly have to be loaded in
memory.  Different, from, say, /applications, which only loads into memory
when you access /applications.  My machine just crashes a lot period, don't
know whether it has anything to do with icons.  Every couple of months I
just do a select all and dump everything (except for disks and the trash)
into a folder.  Doing the job with a shotgun, or however the saying goes.
That does bring up an interesting quesiton though--when I had macsbug
installed on here, one of the most frequent causes of crashing appeared to
be a call to SetIconDevice.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have plenty of
stdlogs around, if anyone has any theories.

No reason why you shouldn't.  I saw this one slashdot a while ago...Using,
IIRC, a long antenna, a signal amplifier, and a parabolic dish, a couple
guys broadcast an 802.11b signal around twenty-five miles.  It was
line-of-sight only, but that's still pretty damn cool.  I don't have a link
handy, but you can probably find it at slashdot's archives.

This happens to me quite frequently, as I use a 15" flat panel (1024x768) at
home, and the built-in (800x600) 12.1" screen elsewhere.  A resolution
switch messes up your icons, because if you switch to a lower resolution,
you lose the right part of the screen where all of the icons are--hence,
Finder moves them so that you can still see them.  I don't know why
force-quitting the finder works, if it does, but your problem is definitely
with resolution settings, especially if you use an external monitor.

Quick fix?  If you're not like me (ie, you don't have so many icons on your
desktop that you can't see the pattern) you can use applescript to fix it.
Move all of the icons slightly out of position, open up applescript, tell it
to record your actions.  Drop all of the icons where you would like them to
go, then stop recording.  Save the script.  Now, every time this happens,
you can simply run the script and it will reset the positions of all items
that were on the desktop when you created the script.  Icons added since
then, you may add to the script, or simply move back manually.

Hope this helps.

Re: Service Manuals on freehost.nu gone? News on Sight

[Matt Reiff]

Someone a while ago gave me a service manual for a firewire G3 PB.  I
checked the URL and it gave a link to apple's FTP site.  Last I checked,
then, file read was permitted but file scan was not--in other words, if you
knew the name of a file you could read it, but you were not permitted to get
a file listing.  That for what it's worth, I don't know if it's the same
thing you guys are talking about.  That said, how does one obtain an apple
service manual--by becoming an apple service provider?
