Re: Macquarium
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: Macquarium (OT)
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. Matt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Macquarium (OT)

Must have been too early in the morning :p (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 magnification a curve provides.

Re: Unreal Tournament on Pismo?
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.

Re: Are there any alternatives to Aqua window manager?
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. Matt On Tuesday, April 22, 2003, at 08:13 pm, jdc wrote: I'm not saying OS X is slow on my 500MHz 768Mb G3 Pismo but it doesn't feel as responsive as I'd like it to. I use APM Tunner, Shadow Killer and themes with no transparency but I 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?

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) Matt On Friday, June 6, 2003, at 12:25 pm, Scott Howe wrote: This has probably already been a topic on here so apologies if this is redundancy in action for you all but I was wondering what thoughts owners of the 12 have concerning it's speed.

Re: 12 Speed
Forgot to say, Apparently people who complained about the MDD fan noise and the Airport dying problem got exactly the same treatment. Matt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 12 Speed
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.

Apple has not said they are going to come break down your doors and haul you off to jail, they simply stated you would be barred from posting for a period of time on THEIR servers. I thought that the email was fairly professional. They have not barred you from posting emails on other lists (although I am sure those lists also have rules). Your point about the product may be right on, however your cries of censorship I believe are a bit off. The rules of those boards are very clear for anyone who wants to post. I completely agree with Mr Reeder. Todd On Friday, June 6, 2003, at 09:26 AM, Dennis Reeder wrote: I initially found it a bit disturbing hearing that Apple would not permit unhindered discussion of their products. However, on reflection, the list belongs to Apple. Imagine a bulletin board inside an Apple store where consumers can post messages. Why should Apple (as a huge profitable powerful corporation) allow any discussion to appear on that bulletin board that didn't enhance their image and contribute to their bottom line? This is definitely not Russia 1948! In the former USSR a capitalist firm such as Apple would not be permitted to exist, not permitted to innovate, not permitted to compete nor would individuals be permitted any opportunity to criticize an industry. For crying out loud you are complaining about a corporations right to manage its image. You don't like it tough. Start your own company. Your freedom of speech has not be infringed by an agency of the United States government. Cries of censorship are out of line. You are absolutely free to discuss/praise/criticize Apple, Microsoft, Ford Motor Company and Joe's Carryout Store on your own list. Or this list. Or your very own newspaper or e'zine. Why do you want to abridge Apple's freedom to operate their business as they see fit? Your right to free speech and assembly is guaranteed by the United States Consitution not Apples papers of incorporation. Look, I love my Mac but I have no illusions about Apple as a corporation. They want to make a profit, as big a profit as possible. Good for them. I wish them all the success in the world. Caveat emptor. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iTunes importing

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
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%. Benoit Fontaine 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?
