Re: MacWorld Expo
Clark, Right on the money. For the rest, take a read of the book Icon. Tons of insight into Steve, Apple and the entire industry.

I come into Apple when it was being run by a fizzy water merchant. The company was unfocused and losing marketshare despite having a superior vision. The company had competing divisions which used company politics to play executives off each other for their own advantage. I saw a company heading down the tubes. It got no better until Jobs came back. I don't care if Jobs is rude and abrupt - as I know he is. I don't care if he is eccentric - as I know he is. The company has focus, direction, and is moving forward. Stock that I paid between $13 and $22 for split and is now closing in on $100 a share. The product is reinvigorated and we have a code base on which to grow for quite some time. Just because you don't like his choices doesn't make him wrong or you right. Many of us complain about the lack of distinction in the iMac models but few are going to say it didn't galvanize the market. When you look at Jobs' flops vs his successes, the flops are hard to notice. Without Jobs, Apple starts looking like any other computer company. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: OT: the long arm of the law
Thanks. It is filling up my in-box at alarming speed. Ron On Sunday, January 15, 2006, at 00:40AM, Amber R.

I am pleased to say that I participate in this list far more frequently in the capacity as a list member than I ever have as a list nanny. However, there are times when list nannies have to step in and intervene I feel this is one of them. I have seen other lists deteriorate with astonishing speed, into considerable mayhem, when seemingly innocuous or even general political comments were made and went unchecked. I do not want to see that happen to the G-Books and I am sure you don't either. Therefore, this is a general request to all list members to refrain from continuing this thread in a political vein. I respect that you all have political viewpoints but the G-Books list is simply not an appropriate place to discuss them.

Re: Li-Ion Wasting charge cycles?
Here is a good web site for batteries. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm Ron On Saturday, December 31, 2005, at 08:25PM, Clark Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 9:30 AM -0500 12/31/05, Jim Katz wrote: Someone mentioned that the L-I battery should be drained completely if used at all since any charge cycle is one less from the total number of charge cycles possible for that battery. If true, then I've been wasting them. I play Scrabble with a partner. When I pass the laptop to the other player, I unplug the AC. When I get it back 5 minutes later, I plug it in again during my turn, so as to restore full charge for off-leash work after the games are finished. Is this a bad habit? No, it's not. The other poster was mis-informed.

Re: Battery Care
Udo, Check out this link for Lithium batteries. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-34.htm On Wednesday, December 28, 2005, at 04:32PM, Udo Huth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: finally, what's the final word on whether or not it's a good idea to fully discharge your battery once a month or so? It is a VERY good idea to always discharge a LiIon battery fully. A LiIon battery like in the PowerBook Wallstreet is good for about 1,000 charge cycles. Even if you discharge the battery only a fraction of its capacity and then charge it again, this will count as a charge cycle. You reduce the lifespan of the battery significantly when charging it again before it's empty. Regards, Udo -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
