Quark is outdated, expensive, bloated and hateful of it's users. What company is as evil as quark? They still don't have a Mac OS X version shipping. They don't even have an estimated ship date for a Mac OS X version. OS X has been around for what those of us in the industry consider a long time. Quark is a joke. It's the *PC* of the desktop publishing world. For years they have had their way with their users. Mainly because there was no alternative.

You could get LEM into a heap of trouble by doing so. I posted yesterday with a warning about doing so. What part of that was so hard to understand? We take this stance because of the history that Apple has demonstrated with their tenacious legal actions against people who post those manuals online. It used to be that people would just post links to Apple's own ftp sites. Apple recently securely modified their ftp access because of all the unauthorized log-ins. Gamba's site now bounces out of the country to a site that Apple would have a more difficult time pursuing. Apple monitors many world wide web mailing lists looking for posted links like this so that they can go after the sites and legally and shut them down. I know this because a fellow tech friend of mine (a member of the infamous 8500 list) used to serve them out of his home and had scary people in a black unmarked Chevy blazer with badges show up at his house and serve him with a federal cease and desist order. It is not a joke. So please...do not post any links to the manuals on any LEM lists in the future. I can not, however, tell you what you can or can not send in a private e-mail... ;-) -- == Kyle H.

Maybe all those of us who would like to see another Macintosh laptop come out with rounded corners and/or a better appearance than the (IMHO - and at risk of starting a flame war, ugly) TiBook, should fill out the feedback form on Apple's site to let them know we'd like a less mechanical appearance for PowerBooks and iBooks. Can't hurt and might (remotely) help - if enough people voice their opinion and wishes to Apple... :-) You can fill out all the forms you want (and I do suggest that you all voice your opinion, but I doubt that it will make any difference whatsoever. Your dislike of the TiBook's appearance puts you in a very small minority. The TiBook is revered by even hardcore PC users as the most beautiful laptop design on the market. Your call for rounded edges is an outdated and even Retro design ideal and that has been passed over in the last decade in favor of sharper edges and newer appearances. No one wants a laptop that looks like it was designed in the 80's (well, maybe a few people do). I absolutely love the appearance of my TiBook. It is thinner and lighter than a Pismo and has such a beautiful large screen that I often catch people looking over my shoulder at it in public places.

And as far as Hardcore PC users revering it as the most beautiful laptop design on the market, that and your reference to such a beautiful large screen that I often catch people looking over my shoulder at it in public places, get a grip. I will not get a grip at all, maybe you should take some of your own advice. I own a Pismo 500, a Wallstreet, a 1400, a 3400, an iBook SE/466, a bunch of older Powerbooks and even an Outbound. I *love* my Tibook. My Pismo on the other hand is bulky and heavy. It is no more durable than a Tibook. TiBooks just *feel* more delicate. They are very durable. I had a client slam his Tibook in a desk drawer and it just dented the lid. Screen is functioning perfectly. It was the Pismo and Lombard lines that had the bad hinges. I have never heard of TiBook overheating. They get hot on the bottom, but that is *not* overheating. They function fine.

I disagree profoundly with Charles' religious leanings but it's just like tv...BYPASS it if you don't like it.. I agree with you, but I have something to say. Everyone is saying that it is free speech basically. It is Dan's right to post what he wants to on his site. Essentially that is true...but not without consequences. Mine may be an unpopular opinion, but I must say that it is also Mr. Bauer's right to complain about it if he sees fit. He is allowed to complain about a religious article posted to Mac-Content site (or at least bring it to the attention of advertisers so that they are aware of it). He probably didn't join Lem to talk about religion. He probably joined to talk about Macs. Why is everyone slamming him for complaining? It's his free speech right just as it is Dan's to post such an article. (disclaimer: I don't know Mr. Bauer, and he may be a total jerk in real life. I have only heard of him through this discussion). Dan knows that I am not a religious person and we get along fine, but he also know that I support LEM 100%. This article bothered me as well. Not to the point where I would contact advertisers, but it did bother me, and I am a Nanny on many LEM lists. It made me wonder if I should spend anymore time here with LEM. It made me wonder if I want my name attached to a Mac site that promotes religious rants by it's writers. I think it is important for you all to consider (whether you like it or not) that about 20% of this population at LEM (as in US Society) is not only *not* Christian, but not religious at all. We have rights as well. Sometimes people who are devoutly religious stomp all over other people's toes without even thinking that they are doing anything wrong or offending. I suggest that everyone think about it. I think about how my opinions and statements will affect a religious person before I make them, and you should do the same. I have said my peace.

Mostly cosmetic, but still an opening where one should not be. Finding the replacement lens is harder than installing it. When I get a clients machine in that has the lens rattling around inside I just disassemble the machine's top case and epoxy it in. They fall out all the time. If anyone finds a reasonable source for those lenses please forward it to me. I end up taking them out of dead Pismo's that still have the lens intact. That makes it hard.

I used to be one of the AppleCare phone agents. the first $50 is for the call, and is sometimes waived if the problem requires hardware service. the second is for data transfer, but is only charged if the transfer is both necessary and successful. this $50 is completely optional. So my next questions are: 1. This only applies to Powerbooks under Applecare and through Apple...yes? (because it d*mn well does not apply to any other machines brought into any of the shops that I have ever worked at). 2. This was implemented relatively recently? The reason I ask is that I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Why would Apple transfer data off of a drive? Why would they offer to take that responsibility with thousands of failing machines a year? If the processor is bad they would have no reason to transfer data. If the drive was truly bad the transfer (most likely) wouldn't be very successful. What would be one situation where that would be a necessary and sucessful operation? -- == Kyle H.

On 12/9/02 1:31 PM, Jeremy Derr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: most often, data transfer is essential when there is still troubleshooting to be done before the issue is isolated to a specific part. for instance, i often will perform a clean install of the Mac OS before replacing any parts. On some machines, I will even wipe the drive and restore from the Software Restore CDs My goal here is to make sure that (a) if I replace the part, it fixes the problem and (b) I replace the right part. Also, if it's a software issue, no part is ever going to fix the problem. A large percentage of people tend to insist that every problem they have is hardware... I like to make sure they're right. True..true. We do things in the same manner, but I have drives for every Apple computer so I use my own drive leaving theirs intact eliminating the need to do any backups).

Re: Insurance Coverage on BeerBooks et al
On 11/25/02 10:34 PM, Geoffrey Loeffler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: This is not theft and is very offensive to call it that, but it seems some lads have special privileges in the sand box. We all have the same rights. This is an interesting conversation. Try not to belittle it with random accusations. FWIW First for getting up to see what the problem was you were being a good citizen True. No one ever said anything to the contrary. Your situation was clearly an accident and that is exactly what insurance covers, accidents. This is not finding a loophole. You paid premiums for just this possibility, probably higher ones as the coverage was good. Now unfortunately it is time to collect fairly what is covered. Unfortunately you will not replace what you had, you will only get partial replacement. Filing a legitimate claim does not drive up rates, it is factored in as part of doing business, a tax write off for the Insurance company. There is no controversy here. No scam, no fraud, no immoral actions, just a legal contract and a honest good citizen. This is your personal opinion. He had a Powerbook 500 series and was able to buy a Pismo on eBay as a result of the insurance settlement. THAT is not fair business. Do the math and figure out the dates between the machines. When was the Pismo introduced and what was a PB 500 series worth at that time? About $50. That's what. He got over on his insurance company by about $1500. That is not right IMHO. He should have been reimbursed for what he lost. A 500 seres Powerbook worth (at the time) about $50. The 400MHz Pismo was released in Feb of 2000. At that time I was giving 500 series PB's away. Maybe $50 for a 540c. Some of the more ridiculous points about throwing the computer at the perpetrators head, well first that would probably would not be covered by your insurance and unless you were in grievous fear of your life then the person throwing the computer could be arrested for assault, yes dumb I agree. Grabbing a 9 mm to investigate a problem outside, well you better read up on your gun laws. Only in the instance of you again fearing for your life, with no other avenue of escape can you point the gun, let alone use deadly force with a gun. I do support the right to bear arms, but you better know when and how you can use a weapon. And I do. I understand my rights very well. Insuring a expensive computer is a wise choice or at least one that should be brought up, too bad anyone with a view not agreed on the list, by a few, get such harsh treatment, throwing slurring innuendoes because they disagree. It was never a question, but rather a commentary offered by the original poster. No one has disagreed with his actions, but some have questioned the morality of asking an insurance company to pay for him dropping a laptop. Let me ask you a question. If you were typing away on say...a Tibook-500, and you heard intruders ...would you jump up and let the powerbook fall to the floor? And if so would you ask for your insurance company to pay for it? Or would you take 1 second, set your powerbook down and pursue the intruders? Just a hypothetical question. -- == Kyle H.

The damage occurred during the prevention of greater damage to my home...A police report was filed and the adjuster ( a Nationwide employee rather than an independent adjustment firm, BTW) had absolutely NO problem with the claim.. They could very easily have rejected the claim but my actions prevented a much more expensive claimI find your reasoning to be irrational, to say the least...that's what insurance is for...it was NOT intentional, it WAS an accident..so if you are stupid enough to park your vehicle on a street and it is stolen, by your reasoning you shouldn't be able to file a claim because your mental deficiency is responsible for the theft...BTW...The vandals were later apprehended because I was able to provide a license plate off of their vehicle...it also cleared a series of vandalism reports... I asked a group of my friends and co-workers this morning and *all* of them thought that it was an accident on your part and that your insurance company should not be held responsible. My friend Theo stated that if you had used the powerbook as a weapon and hurled it at the vandals/burglers then he thought that it should be covered, but since you just dropped it rushing out to investigate it was your fault and you should be responsible for it. I have respected your extensive contribution to the list, but I feel that in this case, as well as in a recent discussion, you over-stepped the bounds of civility and I would respectfully request an apology.. I did not call *you* a thief. All I said was that is seemed a bit like theft. Insurance fraud is a huge problem in this country. Lets say that some normal joe accidentally dropped his laptop and cracked the LCD. What's to stop him from making up a story that my house was being broken into, and I leaped up and dropped my powerbook on a whim. He could then call the police and file a report, without anyone ever having been there, take the padded estimate and go to eBay and buy a Pismo. I have no doubt that your story is true, I am just illustrating a point. But since another list member stated that insurance companies will pay for an act of stupidity then I guess whatever! All the others whose premiums go up as a result of people filing claims like that one will no doubt be happy as well. The way I was raised would not allow me to do that. I accept responsibility for my actions. Even if I was doing a noble thing by stopping a rash of home vandalisms, I would not have filed a claim for dropping my laptop on my way to the door.

As for Trans, It in fact has taken 3 phone calls and a e-mail on 4 different days to get a RMA from Trans. They then wanted to push me off directly to IBM as Trans could not guarantee they would have a replacement drive on hand when mine arrived. We worked it out today but rather bumpy RMA ride I would say. If I were sending either of my kids pismos drives in it would not be a big deal about wiping the drive. You may not care if others share your data, I do. However, to make such a impudent remark as in your post below, referring to someone who is asking a question as paranoid is boorish and takes away some of the good work you accomplish here. Do not let the titles go to your head or effect honest questions. My comments are based on experience. My titles mean nothing. I am a glorified car mechanic. I warranty drives all the time with Transinternational (most of them IBM and Western Digital). I dial the same number as you. They offer me no *special* treatment, and my record with them has been sparkling. I am never on hold for more than a minute or 2 and they are prompt. I got an RMA from a fellow named Damon this morning and it took less than 2 minutes. Sometimes they refer me to the manufacturer, but what do you expect? They really aren't obligated to allow you to return it at all. You may have dropped it, or handled it incorrectly,or static discharged it. How should they know what you did to it? Secondly, they are perfectly correct when they say that they may not have a replacement drive on hand and they want to push you off to IBM directly. Why should they replace a drive that is covered under a 3 year manufacturers warranty when IBM can do it even faster than they can. And by law they are only technically forced to warranty your drive if you return it within 72 hours of the purchase, as they are located in California and that is the law here. After 72 hours, unless specified in writing, any further obligation is on the manufacturer of the goods that were purchased. They are licensed and bonded. None of your data will be shared, and if you feel so strongly about it then you better not go to an ATM in public, or use a VISA card a a store, or appear on a security camera, or (heaven forbid) get fingerprinted for a job. That's all I am saying. The following is my strong personal opinion so stop reading at this point if you are easily offended: It is people like you sir, that tie up phone lines by demanding unreasonable customer service and in the process make other people wait. You should have listened to the person at Transinternational and sent the drive back to IBM. IBM has a 48 hour turn around (faster than Traninternational), meaning that you would already have your drive back and not have wasted the time of the reps at Transinternational, or the time and bandwidth of the people on this list. By going through Transinternational you place the blame of faulty hardware on the supplier...not the manufacturer where it belongs. By doing so you also remove stock from the shelves of the supplier that may be destined that very day to a school, or your friend, or myself... instead of dealing with the problem in a professional manner and contacting IBM for a replacement.

Re: wiping hard drive clean

So really there is no way to safely protect the information I have on this month old drive. It holds multiple online bank account numbers, passwords, 3 stock accounts, passwords and similar personal Maybe TransIntl deals in poor products, this was my 1st buy from them and they have brushed me off with 2 phone calls and 1 e-mail saying the right person is not there to handle the RMA. Now it seems the only protection is to eat the drive cost to protect the data. The zeroing 7 times sounds good but how hard would that be to break?? Thanks again for all the help Transinternational is a fantastic company. I always use them for drives. IBM drives IMHO stink...almost as bad as Western Digital. I only use Maxtor in Desktop machines, and Toshiba in laptops. IMHO you are being paranoid. Just send the drive to them and be done with it. They are insured and reputable...if not bonded.

Re: wiping hard drive clean
On 11/19/02 12:27 PM, Dan K [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: Ah, but Obi-Wan Kyle, what does it take to actually retrieve 'real' data from a zeroed-once (or twice or thrice) drive? Is there a practical way to do it without going through a pretty serious HW recovery effort? I assumed the OP merely needs to ensure the IBM refurb factory or a later user of said HD won't stumble upon some corporate secrets (or whatever.) What I recommend to clients that have security issues is to use Magneto Optical or CD/DVD drives to save the really sensitive info. And then burn the media when they are done with it. I have a client that works at Lawrence Livermore Lab here in the Bay Area. That is how he handles his data. That way it is portable and destroyable. There are several consumer level disk recovery utilities on the market that will do 100x what...say Norton Unerase is capable of. What Shawn King pointed out is true as well. Drive Savers (also local to me) will recover any drive for between $800-3000 or so. They have capabilities that I wish I had sometimes. They can resurrect data from machines that have been submerged, or caught on fire. All I am saying is that there is no real safe way to be sure that your data is 100% unrecoverable, which is what the person was asking. That's all. -- == Kyle H.

That's all. Well, there is, but you'll lose out on the trade-in value: an industrial shredder will pretty well take care of any data recovery issues you might have. This is, in fact, the preferred way of some corporations to 'surplus' old HDD's. That's why my ex-Motorola 7600 came with no hard drive in it... Then if you want to be showy about it, about a half-pound of thermite will do it, too. ;-) This is VERY true. In fact Lawrence Livermore Labs does shred/compact their drives after they are done, but that is only for internal computers drives, and this guy hired me to work on his home network.

Add another $200 and you can get one for that on ebay if you shop around the auctions, although a nice one will be double your bellow mentioned price. Tom A bit off topic but Thats what the told me about my BW my $285 BW/G3-400/dvd-rom 0/0/no video card ( about 8mos ago.) as it sits today: G4/450 CDRW/DVD 1GB ram 60GB HD Mac Radeon DDR PCI usb Floppy ide Zip + bezel Ive got $650 in the above system to date after replacing and selling what was no longer needed. One could do good to get a stock G4 Yikes for $600 + shipping and if/when one did it wouldn't compare in speed or performance. Ya, but your B W is dropping farther and farter down the food chain. I just bought a G4/500 Gigabit ethernet for $600 (40gb/384mb/DVD/56k) to act as a server. It depends on where you look. I could've snagged a second G4/450 for $500, but I didn't have the cash in my hand. The advice to avoid a Wallstreet (and all their problems) is sound. Get a Pismo 400 at the least. And if you don't have the $ then save up until you do. I have a pile of dead Wallstreet units here. Don't go there. -- == Kyle H.

Re: Power Manager Problem with my Wallstreet

I did, and the machine started right up. Diagnosis: bad keyboard. Strange thing was, pbparts sent me a bad keyboard which I returned after much whining--they didn't want to give me my money back, they wanted me to take a credit. But I had put my original keyboard back on and the startup problem was no longer present. Strange, but I haven't had a problem since. I've never replaced the power manager either. But disconnecting the keyboard definitely allowed my Wallstreet to startup when I thought it was dead. Prior to disconnecting the keyboard, I tried resetting the open firmware per Apple support. This did not solve my problem though. That is a very common and well documented problem. And the 300MHz G3 Laptop is not called a Wallstreet. It's code name is PDQ. -- == Kyle H.

Re: Stripped heat sink screws
On 10/10/02 7:51 PM, Sephee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spew into the Cybertrough: Huh!? What screw's that? I dont think I'm following that. I am trying to take off the heat sink covering the RAM slots . As far as I know that's the only thing getting in the way. That's what I had to remove when I installed RAM. It's the called the heatshield isn't it? Something I'm overlooking here? That's what I see to remove from Apple's how-to videos. No. That's what I am saying. You are never supposed to remove those screws. Follow the metal conductive arm that goes from the heatsink out to the left then it attaches to another heatsink looking thing. That is called the thermal transfer plate. The screw you want to remove is basically (imagine the Keyboard installed) under where the Left Apple Key would be. You remove that screw and then pull the processor, heatsink, and plate out as a SINGLE unit. If you remove the 2 screws you have to get a new Thermal Transfer pad from Apple (good Luck) or take it in to a service provider. Your machine will overheat and fry the processor very quickly is you don't adhere to this protocol. -- == Kyle H.

Probably this is a general laptop problem. I disable the bulb (saving battery and display life) and angle the laptop with the sun so that it provides the lumination I need. It increases battery life by up to 55% on my TiBook. If you opened your G4 and disabled the bulb you probably voided your warranty. Tell me you didn't do that Ryan.

I was replying to Kyle's OT response and I deemed it acceptable (margainally) because he is the nanny. A little OT stuff is fine. I don't jump on people for the occasional OT (as long as it is within reason). It's fun and it spices the list up. I went OT because I was excited at the chance that one of our members is a recognized actor. So what?!? I suggest we all lighten up a little bit. I dropped the thread by not responding and now publicly deem it DEAD. I could Rule this list with an Iron Fist if that is what you people want? I don't think you do though. -- == Kyle H.

On 9/18/02 1:56 PM, ross cottrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Broadcast into the ether: Of course, I don't use Entrailage, which is bloated and stores all of your mail on one database file, which is easily corrupted. Powermail does the same thing- dumb. I've used Eudora for years and never lost a single byte after transfering mailbox files from one hard drive to another several times over the years. It never crashes. It may not be the most user friendly, but it is the most reliable email client ever made, IMHO. I gladly paid the $40 to register it. And as a tech that has serviced thousands of machines, I assure you that Eudora is not AT ALL trouble free. I can't COUNT how many times I have had a client problem ith Eudora. That's why I went with Entourage. -- == Kyle H.

And with the sellers previous *3* sales I am sure that this is a fraud loaded with illegal software and it should be reported to eBay. Besides most prop Mac's are just shells...not functioning machines. I have an iMac from Nash Bridges and it is a shell with no guts that I got with papers proving it's history for a whopping $10 at an auction. -- == Kyle H.

Re: Entourage
On 9/16/02 12:23 PM, Christopher Hack [EMAIL PROTECTED] Broadcast into the ether: speaking of entourage does anyone have any views of entourage vs. outlook express. I have spent years using outlook express on my PowerBook for what seems like years, and received entourage with office 2001. Should I switch? Anyone have any views either way? I was going to stay out of this thread, but I have been around the world in browser and e-mail client land lately. I Tried Mozilla, Netscape (several versions), Opera, iCab, Explorer, Outlook and Entourage. I finally settled on Entourage. It is a very efficient program. It works very well for me. I never thought I would be saying something like this, but I love entourage. -- == Kyle H.

I think that in some cases, computers with a certain bus can take faster memory upgrades. Computers that are running PC-33, 66, or 100 can all take PC-100 or PC-133. You can't go tthe other way and give PC-33 to a machine that shipped with PC-133. -- == Kyle H.
