Google Groups functions as an email list, so if you want to keep doing things like you have in the past, that's fine. It also adds a searchable online archive plus the ability to read and reply to posts using your browser. To sign up for the new list, go to http://groups.google.com/group/g-books There are some things about Google Groups that are a bit different, so be sure to read the updated list FAQ, which explains the subscription confirmation system and some other features, such as online subscription management.

Re: [OT] The old days [Was:Re: Reminder: LowEndMac lists rules]
Hmm. I worked on the project that put SPSS together. Cards. Stacks of cards. Hated keying those cards; probably two bad ones for every one that came out right. Big IBM 360/67 in a building the size of gymnasium. One day, I loaded a stack in, went into the snack bar, put in change for a coke, pushed the button and the whole bloody system crashed. I was almost convinced I'd caused it. When the system was up again, at least a week later, all our data was interspersed with data from the Stanford Hospital... Sat through hours of classes in Fortran IV. The project finally moved on to the University of Chicago; I was invited to go, too, but then I watched the riots at the Chicago Democratic Convention and decided that was one of the last places I wanted to go. Never touched another computer until I got my hands on my sister's Mac Classic. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: replacement CD drive for Wallstreet?
Well...On my Wallstreet (with my Wallstreet, I should say) I use an external Zip cd-rw, via a USB card, and it does what I need it to do. Takes up a little extra space, but a used ext cd-rw isn't all that expensive.

I need some ideas/help
I'm running Word 2001 on my Wallstreet (sys 9.1). When I send Word attachments to non-Mac users (yeah, dark-siders), most of the time they claim they can't open them-and, often can't. Once in a while one will fly through, open simply by the other end clicking on the attachment. But mostly, they can't I just finished a three hour stint of sending an attachment to a friend and he wasn't able to open it, until something happened-he doesn't know what or why-and he got it open. Can anybody help me with why this happens? And, how do I walk the others through the process of opening the attachments? I've had serious p.c. types give up on figuring it out at their end.

Re: WS, Lexmark, 9.1, freezes
Close, but I'm running off AC. Damn. I believe this is a USB only printer so I will through this one thought out. A friend of mine had a WallStreet with a USB PC card and USB mouse. She complained that it was freezing all of the time. When I looked at it, I couldn't find a single problem, but I did notice that it only froze while on battery. Further testing showed that it only froze when I tried to use a USB device while running off battery. I never figured it out, but she was able to work with it once she knew that it had to be on AC to use a USB device. HTH, Kris Skinny Butt -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

recycling--on topic!
Here's a good idea--bound to set the manufacturers and dealers off on multiple tirades, but it's about being responsible with our junk! C B C . C A N e w s - F u l l S t o r y : Alberta sets electronic recycling fees Last Updated Fri, 07 May 2004 15:16:38 EDMONTON - The Alberta government is tacking a recycling fee onto the cost of electronic equipment, the first of its kind in Canada. The fee will be attached at the first point of sale - from the wholesaler to the retailer. The fee breakdown is: * $15 to $45 for televisions * $12 for computer monitors * $10 for computer processors * $8 for printers * $5 for laptops or notebook computers Environment Minister Lorne Taylor says he hopes to divert more than 360,000 kilograms of lead from going into Alberta landfills every year. If you had the opportunity to be out to the Edmonton landfill to see literally a mountain of electronic material out there, you'd realize it's not about fees, says Taylor. Taylor says the fees were set after studying guidelines set by the Electronic Products Association of Canada, made up of companies such as Dell, IBM and Sony. Saskatchewan and British Columbia are about to set up a similar program The fee will be collected through a non-profit organization called the Alberta Recycling Management Authority, starting in October. Taylor indicated recycling fees may be applied in the future to cell phones, stereos, VCRs, DVD players, fax machines and video games.

Re: OT - Spoof Warning
Small world: the email just before this one was from paypal too. I automatically tossed it. Never have had a paypal account...Yeah, I am a Luddite. Buyer Beware (sorry in advance for the length): I received an email Monday I thought was from PayPal ([EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]) asking me, by name, to confirm my account info since it'd been a relatively long time since I'd last logged into PayPal. It listed the last 4 digits of my credit card on file with PayPal and included the correct expiration date. When I clicked on the Click here link and entered my email addr and PayPal P/W, I decided to update my card info since I'd gotten a new one recently with a later expiration date and a new Card Verification Number (3 digit code on back of card). Once I hit submit, I took a peak at the URL to watch it update and I noticed the s was missing from the address I incorrectly assumed was secure (e.g., https://...). Before I could hit cancel the form was submitted. I contacted PayPal that day making inquiry into the post and the security (or lack thereof) of the web site I'd given my updated credit card info to. I including the link I'd gone to. They replied the next day that if the post started with Dear First_Name Last_Name it was definitely from PayPal. Since they did not answer my question regarding http:// vs. https:// I queried them a 2nd time (same response) and then a 3rd time. This time they looked at the URL (finally) and said 1) the post I received WAS NOT from PayPal and that the URL I'd gone to was not a PayPal web site.

Re: Fake email
I've been getting these forever--or so it seems--I toss them. Spam like that deserves the Al-Anon approach: I didn't cause it and I can't cure it. That won't help either, as I have a e-mail address that I have never sent an e-mail from and I still get tons of spam each day. Go figure!

Re: USB 2.0 for Powerbooks, CHEAP!
Yes, I did the same $17 + 4 routine and mine works, too. I also buy my clothes at 2nd hand stores. Okay, this does it... I LOVE MACINTOSH!!! I got tired of seeing all these nifty USB2 devices, feeling trapped inside my Powerbook. Yes, it's got firewire and USB 1.1, but golley... digital cameras, scanners, and all sorts of other stuff, not to mention cheaper external HD enclosures... are all coming with USB 2.0, not firewire! We all know how *slow* USB 1.1 is for most purposes. Well, my Pismo has a PCMCIA Cardbus slot that I've never found particularly useful So I started exploring the PCMCIA to USB 2.0 adapters that various companies sell. Some are inexpensive, others are not. Some have 2 ports, some have 3 or 4. Some include firewire. Most require an external power supply, some using a PS/2 adapter cable, others using a dedicated AC adapter. Few claim Macintosh compatibility. I didn't expect that system 9 would support them, since there were no USB 2.0 Macs during the production of OS 9. And I've had my share of troubles with PCMCIA cards under OS 9 as well, but that's a different story. I finally decided to just give it a shot. My main consideration was power: I knew that PCMCIA *can* supply power, because I used to have a PCMCIA-linked hard drive back in the days of my powerbook 1400, and it was fully bus-powered. But none of the cards I found, with one possible exception, claimed bus power. Some weren't even clear HOW they were powered. I planned to use the adapter for a USB-to-compact flash adapter, and for a 2.5 external hard drive. Both need bus power. I shopped around online, but felt pessimistic and decided to start with the cheapest. Ordered a house brand 4-port adapter, model UC214, from PCMicrostore.com, for a mere $17 (plus $4 for US Mail delivery). This product never even mentioned Macintosh. It arrived. It came with a small, dedicated AC power adapter, an instruction leaflet (for windoze users only), and a CD of drivers. The label on the CD actually does mention Mac OS X, but I was reluctant to let some generic house brand install drivers on my Mac, so I tossed the CD aside and ignored it. Plugged it into my PCMCIA slot, plugged the AC adapter in, and plugged my drive in. AND IT WORKS!!! It works with my compact flash adapter, too! So now my Pismo has USB 2.0 and it only cost me $17! And all with the drivers built-in to Jaguar. You want details and benchmarks? You got it: I'm running Mac OS X Jaguar 10.2.8 on a Pismo at 500MHz, with 1GB RAM. My internal hard drive is a partitioned IBM 40GB model 40GNX at 5400rpm with 8MB cache. The external hard drive is a 20GB 2.5 Toshiba MK2016GAP at 4200rpm with 1MB cache, in a Welland model ME-910U2F enclosure (combo USB2.0/USB1.1/firewire 400). As a simple measure of throughput/speed, I finder-copied a 375MB JPG, with various arrangements as follows: COPY from internal drive to external drive, via built-in USB 1.1 bus: 526 seconds. COPY from one partition to another partition, both on my internal hard drive: 49 seconds. COPY from internal drive to external drive, via UC214 USB 2.0 adapter: 34 seconds. Copy from internal drive to external drive, via built-in firewire: 26 seconds. So this PCMCIA to USB 2.0 adapter isn't as fast as firewire, but it sure beats the socks off of USB 1.1 by a WHOPPING 15.5 X FASTER! (Perhaps a different external drive enclosure would perform even better under USB 2.0 with this pcmcia adapter.) But for $17, plug-and-play, I'm VERY satisfied with this house brand UC214, from PC Microstore. Other models you might like to consider: ** Startech CB2U2F (dual firewire400 plus dual USB2.0), explicitly Mac compatible. Costing $90 at MacMall. ** Startech CBUSB2 (triple USB2.0), explicitly Mac compatible. Claims to be bus powered. Costing $44 at MacMall, $30 at computerstop.com. ** Koutech 7400 (dual firewire400 plus dual USB2.0), explicitly Mac compatible, Powered by USB 1.1 cable. Costing $47 at outpost.com, $53 at newegg.com. ** Koutech IOFlex 2002-2a (dual USB2.0). Costing $22 at newegg.com, $19 at outpost.com. **IOGear/Aten GPU202 (dual USB2.0), explicitly Mac compatible, even with System 8.6 (USB1.1). Costing $40 at amazon.com, $37 at MacMall.

relevant question
I have a wallstreet I got out of a pawnshop. It has two quirks I want to ask about: 1. If I restart, the desktop shifts around--that is, the aliases and such change positions. I've reset the PRAM. Could this be the PRAM battery? The time stays right on. 2. My internet connection is dialup, via the internal modem. Quite often, when first logging on I get the message it can't find a dial tone. If I try two or three times, it works. Then it will disconnect w/out warning--but usually only in the first ten minutes of operation. The length of time it stays connected varies between one and three minutes or so. After the first ten minutes, however, the connection seems very solid and on-going. Is this a problem that could cost lots of money? Thanks for whatever help anyone can offer. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: All your base are belong to us
Absolutely. I need a reference to figure out whether to go with an Asante base wireless, or an Apple Extreme Airport refurb with no antenna jack---or buffalo tech--or another. I think I want the Buffalo Tech repeater thingy, but it's not due out till January. I just want a cheap wireless broadcaster for home. I'm not even sure I have to have a g. Any current ideas? If I get an airport base without an antenna jack is it that much harder to use a pringles antenna? -- -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Pismo rubber feet

Re: off-list tempest in a teapot
So, happily making a filter (Eudora 6--but as I recall, it works in earlier versions, too) that screens for improper off-list emails in the subject line and deletes them, I say good-by to the topic.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I've lived over 65 years without iTunes. I plan on doing the same thing for the second half. On 10/28/03 10:22 PM, Kyle Hansen wrote: Oh yeah...for those of you/us still running OS 9.It's been considered a dead OS for a couple of years now. Get with the times or QYB. Apple should not waste any more time or money un-developing their software so that it will run on machines that are years old. 18 months is a LIFETIME in the world of computing. If you can't handle that fact then you need a reality check. You shouldn't be biting the hand that feeds you (aka suing apple). All that I sgoing to do is hurt us all in the long run. First, I think most lawsuits (including probably the current Apple one) do more to line the pockets of the lawyers than accomplish anything for the claimants. But after that, I find it a tad two-faced of Apple that they will support Windows 2000 for iTunes and the Music Store (an OS which is much older than MacOS 9.x), but not Mac users running MacOS 9.x. As I wrote in feedback to Apple, it's like telling those who haven't been able to afford the hardware and software upgrades You'd be better off buying a Wintel box so far as being able to access the Music Store. And yes, there's some inaccuracy in that analogy, but it is arrogant of Apple to provide support for an older Windoze OS when they choose not to support MacOS 9.x users. It's like a slap in the face, IMHO. And I suspect the main reason is that Emporer Steve wants to force more MacOS 9.x users to upgrade and line Apple's pockets. As I said in my feedback, I may just go find a used copy of Jaguar and NOT line Apple's pockets out of mine.

Re: legacy hardware and Jaguar/Panther
You mean, gasp, those of us using old equipment just aren't all that important in the scheme of things Mac? If we're not important to Apple, then...what about our self-esteem???

Only New World ROMs are supported because newer technology [which only came on Macs with NW ROMs] doesn't work on Macs with Old World ROMs. And OW ROMs are not upgradable. Its not like Apple made the decision just to screw you. The OW ROM supports onboard SCSI, serial, ADB etc ... the NW ROM supports FireWire, USB, AGP, PCI-X, AirPort, and a bunch of other technology. You can't do both sadly. It's not that you can't do both, it's just that there is a point of diminishing returns for Apple to keep supporting old hardware.
