FW: G4 Sleeve recommendations? 2 (addendum)
Can anyone recommend a good sleeve for a TiBook 15? I have a Port laptop briefcase with the sling suspension system, but want some extra protection for the TiBook. You can't be too careful with that big screen and the painted surfaces. Ideally, I'm looking for a sleeve that I can then put into the case I already have, for double protection. I;ve seen the Waterfield design sleeve and the Maccase G4 sleeve, and both look pretty good. Any one use one? I use a CaseLogic Neoprene sleeve as further protection.Low cost, too.

Which routers support AppleTalk between the wireless and wired LAN. This is a must for me, just to be able to print. I don't know why but this should be difficult but it seems like the device should transfer ANY Ethernet packets. As a general question can the wireless routers be used simply as an access point. That is, to connect a wired LAN to wireless computers. It seems some at least should be able to based on looking at some features. I have a software router now and want to stick with it unless I can find a hardware router than can do as much. Are there any low cost routers that not only do port mapping but also remap the port numbers. I think this is a big limitation of the ones I've seen so far. They'll map one port number to a computer on the LAN but what if you have two or more computers you want to make available. For example you can have multiple computers accessible by AppleShare IP or Timbuktu by mapping them to different port numbers (549, 550,... and 408, 409, ... respectively).

Re: airport alternatives for Wallstreet?
From: Kent Wieland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone had success using any of the Airport-alternatives, such as D-link, etc...? I'm interested in setting up a wireless network for my Imac and Wallstreet from my cable modem. Ideally, I'd like to get a combination access-point and router to connect the Imac directly via ethernet and the Wallstreet by PC Card. Could anyone recommend brands/models for both the access-point/router and PC card? BTW, I'm using OS 9.1 in both computers. Kent (digest mode) Kent, I am using a Linksys Wireless router. I have a Lombard with a MacWireless pc card, an Ibook with an Airport card, an Imac with a Macwireless.com usb wireless adapter and a hardwired Mac 6116 and Starmax. Microcenter is having a sale on the Linksys so others probably do as well. No problems so far. The Linksys router is about the onl Mac they support. Don't get their car or anything else that requires drivers. Hope this helps, -- Mike Amato -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: wiping hard drive clean
Aladdin Systems, maker of Stuffit has a product called Secure Delete. This is from their web page: http://www.aladdinsys.com/secure_delete/index.html Secure DeleteĀ is like a paper shredder for your computer files. If you have confidential paper documents you need to destroy, a paper shredder is the best tool. But, today's paperless office needs a tool that safely and effectively handles computer files as well. Paper documents you crumple up and throw in the wastebasket can be easily picked out and read by prying eyes. The same is true with digital files. Even after you drag files to the trash and empty it, those files can be recovered and read by people who should not have access to them. With Secure Delete you can permanently remove files with confidence and ease. Just drag and drop the files of your choice onto the Secure Delete icon, and they are gone for good. SECURE DELETE CAN HELP IF YOU: *Use A Laptop. Theft rates are high and laptops are easily accessed by others. *Share a Workstation. Be careful of co-workers prying eyes. *Take Your Mac in for Repairs. Don't let technicians read your private files. *Need More Disk Space. Why waste space? Get rid of useless files for good. *Operate a Home Business. Whether your office is inside or outside your home, private documents need protection. *Must Destroy Confidential Files. Secure Delete can help you comply with the law if you are legally required to destroy confidential files. WHEN YOU NEED TO BE CERTAIN, USE SECURE DELETE! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Battery life is also a big issue for me. My battery life is 2 to 3 hours for each of the two batteries I have and that works well for me, but I rarely take flights longer than 5 hours. Try an airplane power adapter, they're relatively inexpensive. -- Mike Amato -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: power-saving tips needed -TiBook

In talking about battery life, now that my year-old Ti-Book battery is failing, they mentioned I could extend battery time by turning off the Airport card when I'm on the road anyhow. Anybody got other ideas like that? Is there a way to turn off some of the memory or other things I might not be using that add to power drain and heat production? Max out the ram and put as many apps as you can in memory. Put your cache for browser in ram. The more tasks in ram, the less you will use the hard disk which is the greatest user of power. -- Mike Amato -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Key indentations, help!

I've been very careful with it to not scratch or touch the screen, but one day in my bag, i think some extra pressure was applied to the closed 'book and now I have an exact indentation of my keyboard on my screen. Its fairly light and if I turn up the brightness, I can't see it and the screen itself is just fine. So, first of all, is there any means of repairing the lightened areas of the screen from where the edges of the keys touched the screen, and secondly, I've heard that placing a peice of cloth or rubber across the board before closing stops the indentations from getting worse/happening at all. Is this true, and what material is the best to do this? I'd apreciate AS MUCH information on this as possible, as I have to take it around with me quite a bit and I dont want the screen to get all banged up. Thanks! -Dylan Moore I'm as old as the macintosh Dylan, Other World Computing has a laptop screen protector, made of soft leather, for $14.95. Below ia from their website: OWC LSP Laptop Screen Protector Have you ever noticed that the keyboard is leaving marks on the LCD screen? Apple PowerBooks made since the 1998 Wallstreet models all the way up to the brand new PowerBook G4 Titanium have had problems with their keyboards coming into contact with the delicate LCD display and leaving marks on the screen that sometimes will not come off. Most are oils left from your fingers on the key caps; however, some are not removable. Why take a chance? We at Other World Computing have been troubled by this for a number of years. And instead of just putting up with the problem, we decided to do something about it. We have created. Made of 100% top grain leather cowhide, this is a beautiful solution to the problem. Finely crafted from first quality 1 oz. (approximately 1-2 mm thick) black vegetable tanned cowhide, it is an elegant accessory for any laptop. Please note, this is an all NATURAL product. Some slight marks, or blemishes may appear on the surface of the protector. This is not because of low quality, it should be viewed as proof of a genuine leather product. Leather has always been thought of as one of the most durable natural materials, and it is also very soft. The leather used to create the Laptop Screen Protector is glove soft, you can be assured that it will protect your screen from any marks. The Laptop Screen Protector has one side of the leather finished in a smooth, tight pinpoint grain, called a chrome finish, to protect your screen from any lint or dirt gathered by an unfinished hide. The back side that lays on top of the keyboard is a soft suede backing, natural unfinished leather hide. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Screw Problem - Repost
From: Dan Pennington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Auto mechanics and machinists will apply a small glob of grease at the spot where the hole is to be drilled, to catch the chips so they DON'T contaminate other parts.

Re: UW students forced to purchase a PC
From: Thomas Ethen [EMAIL PROTECTED] UW Stout requires every student not in the Arts to purchase an unknown brand and model (top of the line is all they would say) of PC laptop (as is Windows) and if you purchase your own, you will have two laptops. This is to make sure that all students have the same (coloring outside the line is bad) laptop and software installed from Stout. How Orwelian is that! Tom Wow, they probably expect you to attend classes and hand in papers,too. What is this world coming to? Next they'll even try to grade everyone. Cheez, what are we gonna do about this regimentation (;=) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
