Re: Free Wireless Internet access on the road report

2005-08-12 Thread Michael J. Amato
 A growing chain throughout the midwest, called Panera's Cafe offers
 free wifi at almost all of their establishments.  I'm pretty sure
 there's a good number of them on the West Coast too.  (several near
 here are located near a Starbucks, who charge $6/hour!).  Also if you
 need an email fix, be sure to look up local libraries and community
 colleges--more and more of them offer free wifi too.
 Later.Howard

We have them in the Northeast, too.
Many public libraries also have wi-fi

Re: Is Apple really moving to x86 architechture?! [signed]

2005-06-17 Thread Michael J. Amato [c]

Please remember all the hoopla about Apple shifting to Unix with OSX.
Cries of doomsday and a big Wass'up.

Apple shifting to an open system???

It's all been uphill pretty much.

The biggest problem Apple had with Motorola/IBM was delivering a faster chip
for their laptops, one of the bigger selling sectors.

There seems to be a wider horizon opening up. Intel is a chip making company
period. IBM had so little expertise they had to sell their computer
manufacturing unit. Remember IBM was responsible for Microsoft, practically
giving them DOS, figuring it wasn't worth much and clearing the way for BG
and crew to monopolize the OS for pc's.

Open vistas ahead, maybe even getting game for Mac!

I'm sure this is a well thought strategy for the future.
Hang on for the ride.

Re: Lombard snags [signed]

2005-06-16 Thread Michael J. Amato [c]
As a former Lombard owner I can empathize. It had a serious flaw on wake up
and was known as the sleep of death. It would be worth it to send it to
Daystar - http://daystartechnology.com/ and upgrade. It solves your dvd
problem and gives you the altivec engine. Then you'll never have these
problems. (I was never able to get Panther on my Lombard -got a kernel
panic) I plan on upgrading.

There is also a person named Chuck Wright on e.Bay who specializes in
Lombards and has scads of parts. I bought a logic board from him and was
very satisfied with his handling of the sale.

He also turned me on to a website that has the service manual for the
Lombard (it's in pdf format)

 http://www.whoopis.com/computer_repair/PowerBook_G3_Series_Bronze_kbd.pdf

Happy sailing, (I really like the old Lomby)

BTW, I also remember it being picky about memory ups.

 Michael,
 
 I know you did this to help out but folks have to remember that it is
 *STRICTLY* prohibited to post any URL to Apple's service manuals. We
 certainly don't want to have Apple's legal after Dan, the List Mom because
 that would mean the end of the G-Books list (and all the other lists, for
 that matter).
 
 I will ignore it this time but posting such URL is supposed to result in a
 ban. Again, I know you did it to help. If you folks need to post help to
 disassemble a PowerBook, post the PowerBook FixIt URL instead.

From MacDaily News -

Report: Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hits piracy sites

Saturday, June 11, 2005 - 12:14 PM EST

 

There is nothing at all that prevents the version of Mac OS X that runs on
the developer transition machines from running on any PC with compatible
components, Jeff Harrell writes for The Shape of Days. The Intel-based
Power Macintoshes that Apple is showing at their developer conference are
based on an Intel motherboard, generic Intel graphics and off-the-shelf
Pentium 4 CPUs... I estimate that we¹re down to a matter of hours before Mac
OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hardware is available for download on Internet
software piracy sites and peer-to-peer piracy networks. (Update: A reader
who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me
that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy
sites.) If I can think through this stuff, Apple¹s management can think
through this stuff. This is the most awe-inspiring stealth marketing move
I¹ve ever seen.

 According to reports, Apple¹s bundled iLife applications, major selling
points for the Mac operating system, are already Intel-native and run at
full speed... Given Apple¹s experiences with software piracy, particularly
the rampant software piracy that spread developer builds of Mac OS X 10.4
Tiger all over the Internet this past spring, Apple¹s management from the
top down knows full well that this developer preview will be in the hands of
every kid with a cable modem within days of its release. Most of them will
be able to install it on their own computers and run it and the full suite
of iLife ¹05 applications at full speed, and run most existing Mac software
in translation. As a result, Apple will give thousands, possibly millions,
of people a taste of Mac OS X running full speed on their own PCs. Apple¹s
giving their potential future customers a free taste, that¹s what they¹re
doing. It¹s a try-before-you-buy deal, Harrell writes.
