When I used the hub linking to the Cable modem then to the ABS and the Primary link on the hub, it started working and I've just left things alone since then. Joe, I ran into this problem a while back. When @Home folded and Comcast switched me over to their own network, my cable modem connection via ABS suddenly stopped working. Drove me nuts bouncing back and forth between Comcast and Apple support for about a week. Then I happened to find out that it's because Comcast changed their networking protocol somehow. The recommended solution was to get a hub or router to put between the cable modem and the ABS, which I did. This resolved the problem. Some months later, Apple corrected the problem with onr of their Airport updates (sorry, don't remember which). I've subsequently ditched the router. My recommendation is, unless you absolutely need the hub, download the ABS updates and try it out. You may gain other benefits as well. -pha -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: G3 Pismo Cooling and Desktop Use

I got it so I could use one computer for both my at home desktop needs and on the road to do GPS and general portable stuff. At home it's connected to a 19 in. monitor, an external keyboard and mouse, and through a 4 port USB hub to a printer, a scanner, a pda cradle, and sometimes a camera. The iMac used to do the same stuff. I left it on all the time and put it to sleep when I wasn't sitting in front of it. I want to do the same with the Pismo. Now, the Pismo is setup to run with the case closed. Should I continue to do this or not? I've noticed that the bottom of the case gets hot when it's awake and doing stuff. It cools down some when it's asleep. I have it raised up from the desk surface sitting on two 1x1x10 in. pieces of wood, to allow air circulation under it. I'm thinking of building a small fan box for it to sit on. Or the idea just hit me to build a padded stand so the Pismo could stand on end with the cd-dvd drive pointing up. This would allow natural air flow around it. Is this necessary? There must be other people using them for regular desktop use, what are your thoughts/experience? Dan, I use my Pismo in a very similar situation. When in desktop mode I leave it on all the time, sitting on a CoolPad (the smaller, portable version), and connected to all my external peripherals. Since running OS X (from first official release), I don't shut it down at all (I have some backup scripts that run in the wee hours of them morning), and have had nary a problem. When I first started running it like this, I monitored the heat situation closely, but it never got significantly warm just sitting around. It's been well over a year now that it's been serving in this manner, and runs just as well as ever. Paige -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Totally OT - RE listmember's woodworking
Yep, it's good stuff... I checked it out yesterday. Recommendation for him though: use JPGs instead of GIFs for your web pictures, so we can see the true beauty of your work, not just in 256 colors. I sure like those cherry bookshelves! Paige on 7/18/01 1:50 AM, dog b at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Check out the quality of this listmember's woodworking.

Re: Mac.com errors
No, but I notice the Apple servers have been kind of finicky the past few days for some reason... iTools was down for maintenance 2 days ago. I'm sure it was just a temporary outage. I've received the below message several times with my @home account, since my server seems to go down for a few minutes about once every month or two. Paige on 7/18/01 3:27 AM, Richard J.

Re: Slightly OT: Office 2001 Upgrade

I thought about e-mailing Microsoft to ask, but figured I'd pose the question here first. I tried using Appleworks for a while there too, but I don't care what anybody says, it's just inferior to Word in particular, and the converters don't always work. Agreed. It's good for what it is, but for heavy-duty stuff it just doesn't fit the bill. Since I'm sharing a lot of work with MS Word owners, it's very tedious to have the document converted each time and then lose most of the formatting when it opens in AppleWorks. Plus, I've been hearing how good Word 2001 is on the Mac (some people claim better then the PC version), so I need to try it for myself. Paige -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
