Re: Yeah! Success! was Re: Help! iCal died!
I don't see having a need for floppy disks as being anti Mac, just being practical using the least expensive way of transporting classroom projects from school to home for my students. I have always used Mac's and would never think of going to a PC, but still find the floppy to be far more practical than CD's or DVD's for classroom use. Since only 60% of my students have internet access at home, although 80% have computers, the internet is not a viable alternative either. Tom on 9/7/05 8:44, Dennis B.

I'll leave it out for a couple days and see if I have any problems when I put it back in, but first I want to fill the drive back up again first and see if we get errors again.

Re: 144 buck expansion bay DVD-R/RW
Did you try burning in Toast without the patch? My Matshita 330 that I used for replacement in my Pismo went flawlessly and burning with Toast was supported as soon as I put it in the expansion bay to replace my old drive. I replaced my Superdrive (DVR-104) in my desktop with a Pioneer DVR-108 ($85) and the switch went perfectly and burning both DVD's and CD's are three times as fast as with the original drive. I have not tried burning with anything other than Toast 5 and 6 though, as that is all that I use. Tom Wanted to share my positive experience regarding the DVD burner upgrade to my Pismo [500, 40gb 5400, 1gb, Airport, 10.3.5]. I purchased the 'Panasonic' (actually shows as a Matshita in ASP) UJ-825-B from newegg.com at the low price of $143. It is: slot loading, black, 2.4X DVD+R, 2.4X DVD+RW, 4X DVD-R, 2X DVD-RW, 2X DVD-RAM, 16X CD-R, 8X CD-RW. After installing it in the exp. bay, I found burning unsupported in 10.2.8 but DVD viewing, CD reading was fine. Pros - Cheap, slot loading, DVD burning, boots to CD, quieter than stock DVD. Cons - Bezel doesn't match. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Tom The real premium batteries these days seem to be the ones from Newer, via OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=999Title=PowerBook%20Acces soriesTemplate= According to this page, Apple's standard Lombard/Pismo batteries are 4800mAH. So the $159 Newer battery (6600 mAH) offers 65% more capacity (roughly equivalent to time) than the $109 battery (4000 mAH).

Re: powerbook/ibook reccomendation?
If you are traveling light, a PCMCIA compact flash card reader takes up no space and works far faster that USB. Tom Of course there are many uses for PC cards but does the average user really need them today? Looking around campus (instructors, students, and university owned) the biggest use I *now* see is adding current technologies to older notebooks...firewire cards, for example. The point I was making is that once upon a time having a PC card slot was essential because notebooks lacked so many features. I well remember spending big bucks to get a modem/network dual card so the Toshiba the university expected me to use would actually be useful for more than keeping a bit of my desk dust-free. But for typical usage I don't see the overwhelming need today. david -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iBook key pops off
I replaced the key on my daughters Clamshell iBook which has the scissors mechanism and it was an interesting experience getting the new key back on. It would have been even more difficult if the keys had not been translucent so I could see what I was doing. You have to slide the front part of the scissors mechanism into place first, then while holding it, place the back part of the mechanism into the two holes on the keyboard one at a time. Dental tools work well to get under the key, without dislodging the front and to hook each of the back arms to direct them into the holes at the back. Good luck!!

Re: WiFi range?
On the card inside the ABS there is a small plug on the end, which if removed will show a connector for an external antenna such as the one inside a PowerBook. You can purchase the connector that goes from the card which has a connector for a CB antenna on the other end(I got one on ebay quite a while ago), which will give you range of between one half and two miles if the antenna is placed high enough. You will have to modify the ABS case to allow the cable to extend outside to be able to attach the external antenna. There are also commercial antennas available for ABS which already have the correct connector to plug onto your Airport card.

Re: iBook G4 into a G3.
Cute! You could fold it also. Tom Is it feasible to put the logic board of an iBook G4 14 into an ice iBook 12 dual USB. After working into a few PowerBook models and seeing how tight the space is in a laptop, I would imagine you would have to bend the board a little bit, or maybe cut a couple of pieces here and there to make it fit. Of course, it would probably not work anymore, but I'm sure it could fit! -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: VHS to DVD
Toast 6 does a direct DVD burn if you just want a straight through copy without any editing, but you still need to convert the analog signal to digital. Tom In my somewhat limited knowledge in this, you will need a DV bridge to connect your VCR to your Titanium because as far as I know, there are no VCR with FireWire output. Then, you will have to use something like iMovie to put the raw footage coming from the VCR and finally, iDVD to create a professionally looking DVD. I'm not sure if Toast can do that or not. Once you mastered your DVD, I'm pretty sure you can make copies using Toast, but I'm not sure you can author DVD with it. -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: iceBook 500
The 500 iceBooks had a very slow bus and therefore don't sell for much over $500, but then you can get faster iceBooks for around the $700 mark.

Re: External Firewire HD issue ...
I had a Piranha drive and after almost a year of dealing with them I finally tossed it, as it was so unreliable that it was not worth messing with.

Tom Also, when trying to get a hold of Piranha, I eventually turned to the Better Business Bureau in their area.

Re: Pismo keyboard wobble
I had the same problem with my Pismo on one of the many times I had the keyboard off and could not see anything wrong with the way it was put back on the Laptop.
