Re: Weird sound out of my Albook
How often do you have it set to check mail? Do you have a spam filter that pings when it tosses something? I get a ting when mine checks mail and there isn't any; a different noise when it downloads mail; I, too, am running an Al book 10.3.6take a look at your mail settings and see if you can spot anything.

Re: iPod Question (OT)
I use mine pretty often with a cheap cassette interface in both my cars; I'm sure it isn't ideal, but it sounds as good as a radio station does in the car and is mighty easy to use and move. I think it was about $10 at Radio Shack---it plugs into the headphone jack on the iPod and stuffs into the cassette slot in the car radio.

In iCab, you can press command-semicolon to stop all animations. I used iCab as my default browser for years, not least because of its image filtering options, but at present (a final release has been pending for a lng time) it can't handle CSS layout, so I can't wholeheartedly recommend it.

From what I've been reading on the Apple discussion forums, it seems that once the board is replaced it's usually not long before it goes bad again.

What would folks recommend that would cost under a grand, but with comparable speed and capability? I was thinking of a Tibook, but I use Airport and I've heard so much about the poor reception with the Ti's. Wish I could afford a new 17 er! I was tempted to suggest a Titanium, but since you're concerned about AirPort reception, then it might not be a good idea.

Just curious...
Over the last couple of days I've moved from an iBook SE466 clamshell running 10.2.8 with 320Mb of RAM and Airport .11b to a G4 Aluminum PowerBook 867 running 10.3.5 with 640Mb and Airport .11g; I was able to migrate everything by doing a fresh install of 10.3.5 and using the setup tools...made it easy. I used Mail and Safari on both; both were up-to-date as far as Apple's online software updater. My observation is that with no other changes (same linksys base station and cable connection,) my internet performance seems quite a bit snappier. I'm very curious...inasmuch as the 11.g in the new box is not able to run any faster, since it's linked to a 11.b base, and it's my understanding that either is far faster than my cable modem anyway, that doesn't explain the difference. So is it the difference in 10.2 and 10.3, or is a G4 faster at web browsing than a G3, or the extra RAM, or some combination? I just wasn't expecting any real difference...I've been telling myself for quite some time that a beige G3 at 233 was all you need for browsing and email but am pleasantly surprised at the difference.

How do I...
There's probably a FAQ or site somewhere that answers this; if so, please point me to it. I just got a G4 PB and want to import all of my email preferences plus Safari bookmarks etc...is there a way to do this painlessly? I know how to do my iTunes library; looks like they would have provided an easy way to do the rest. The G4 is 10.3 and the ibook I've been using is 10.2; is this going to work? Thanks!

Re: Command key
Really? Do you remember any of he other five? I've called it cloverleaf for years to tell non-Mac people how to do something...was that on the list?

Re: shutting down pb pismo
Sorry to escalate this, but IMHO, not shutting it down means you are contributing t0 the overall wasteful use of energy that has brought us to such a sorry global state. Pick global warming or Middle Eastern warfare: they both come down, in part, to lack of self-discipline on saving energy. Think globally, act locally, etc. First, the global state is hardly sorry; in fact, it is arguably the best it has ever been in all of recorded history...by any measure except perhaps morality; I'm not even sure of that. Middle Eastern warfare has essentially nothing to do with wasteful use of energy or self-discipline with regard to saving energy. Read your Bible or study history. Blaming the current situation there on energy makes about as much sense as blaming Vietnam on rock roll... Global warming, to the extent that it exists, has about as much to do with whether you shut down your computer as does a water shortage with whether you sleep on your side or your back (there is a measurable difference in how much you perspire...) In fact, there is not and has never been a water shortage---four fifths of the earth's surface is covered in water. There can be _temporary_ shortages of _clean_ water in a given locale, but, on balance, these resolve themselves. Similarly, the average temperature of the planet has been cooling for eons. There are small cyclical variations not easily attributed to any one cause; certainly not sleeping your computer. Man's influence is miniscule at best. Apparently, ol' Sol is the greatest influence. Now, if you really want to cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, I'm with you---let's start by seeing how fast we can convert production of electricity to nuclear. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: losing value....
I was trying to equate a 1995 PC with a 1995 Mac. The 8500 came out in 1995. Sure; but isn't an 8500 a power pc processor? (I'm not nearly as familiar with macs as I am with pc's---that's why I subscribed to this list: to learn.) I think the 486 and 68040 were roughly equivalent; the pentium is roughly equivalent to ppc. But if I'm wrong, please educate me; as I said, I came here to learn. I guess my point was that using year-of-release to compare them misses the mark; for example, Ford came out with a V8 in 1932; Chevrolet brought theirs out in 1955. But if you were comparing various cars, it would seem more realistic to compare a V8 Ford to a V8 Chevrolet or a 6 cylinder Ford to a 6 cylinder Chevrolet, even though the years of introduction aren't the same. Does that make sense? FWIW, I still use a 486 running Windows for WorkGroups for my invoicing, though I'm typing this on a 466se ibook...

Re: losing value....
OK, here I come to save your minds x86 CPUs and 68k CPUs are both CISC (Complex Instructions Set Computing) and the 8500 (PPC CPUs) are RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). is a 486 equal to that of a 8500? Um, no. But Kyle was saying that comparison for this reason: what was Apple releasing in 1995? the PowerMac 8500. I had a Quadra 900 that was made in 1991 that beats the pants off any 486 I have ever used. So, your strain of the thread is now dead as it has been explained to what needs to be explained. And, yes, the 8500 is about 4.5x faster than a 486 DX4-100. We are not comparing cars, but computers. I don't think there is a lowendcar.com, but Dan might want to look into that g What I'm getting from this is that there is some confusing of the hardware platforms and the operating systems. What is magical about the year 1995? No fooling, we're not comparing cars? Is analogy not permitted here? But I won't strain the thread further; for that matter, I guess I needn't read it further, since it's been explained to what needs to be explained, whatever that means...
