Re: PCMCIA Ethernet Card (Nuked PowerBook Ethernet)

2003-03-31 Thread Ruby Appling
 RE; My tower same thing,failed ethernet socket, your notebook however, 
  is far from doomed, my first choice is airport if your machine can 
 use it, second choice is then PCMICA card wireless, or last PCMICA 
 card ethernet, Im not familiar with what is available and price 
 comparisons in your location, here a Comp-Usa store stocks all these, 
 and the store brands marked for macintosh are OK. Im useing airport 
 card and D-link base station with my new notebook,I dont want a repeat 
 of before ,wireless Im now insulated from lightning.. hope this helps


 An investigation / test of the machine and network seems to point to
 the onboard ethernet having been fried.

 Replacing the motherboard to solve this problem will be just too
 costly and I suspect there's no one out there who will do a component
 level repair for anything substantially less than the cost of the
 mobo anyway.

Re: Digital camera

2003-03-31 Thread Ruby Appling
RE; My opinion, I did not repeat entire message, Anyway, I love my 2meg 
digital camera,I knew little of photography,however, the ability to 
shoot vast numbers of pictures and then printout only the two or three 
without blemishes has just made a world of difference in useing a 
camera,otherwise for me it was just too frustrateing and expensive to 
enjoy takeing pictures because of all my beginners mistakes.even if you 
plan to become a film photographer, a digital is the way to learn,and 
you will,I also think that pretty soon you will begin to get results 
you had not thought possable, just because learning is so affordable. 
as for me my nikon 775 was $299 at best buy plus extended warranty, as 
compared to a film camera I never used enough because processing a 
hundred pictures only a few of which I want is expensive as heck, I 
made it all back with the first car I rewired with it.just my luck so 
far. best wishes

 But the liberating feeling that Ed is talking about comes from the fact
 that I can take 100 pictures with my digital camera, see the results
 *immediately* and toss the ones I don't want, and not worry about 
 paying
 for developing 4 or 5 rolls of film, truding off to Walgreens to drop
 them off, or pick them up, or the wait between what you think you shot
 and when you see what you actually shot.

 Most people are, as Ed is, inhibited by the thought that 'each shot I
 take is gonna cost me $X', whereas a digital camera is free (yes, I 
 know
 about the costs associated with increased battery consumption, etc, but
 frankly, it's  a lot cheaper than buying and developing film.)

Re: no sound - No output devices were found

 Can anyone help?

 The sound on my G4 powerbook has gone (running 10.2.4). Nothing 
 (except if
 I plug in the earphones, I get loud intermittent sounds in the right
 channel as I work. Insert a cd and I-Tunes won't play it.

 If I go to System Preferences and open the Sound panel, I find all the
 options have gone grey, and can't be set. The alert sound is stuck on
 'Funk', whereas I'd set it to Sosumi previously. In 'Output' I find
 nothing in the box under Choose a device for sound output and below 
 that
 Settings for selected device: No output devices were found.

 Anyone knows what's going on

 Any advice much appreciated,

 Barry
