screen sizes vs. reality

[VicNaz1]

OK, I had a person give me a hard time about a 12 inch LCD screen size and I 
want to know, do people genuinely have serious complaints about 12 inch 
screens? I have two units with 12 inch screens, on with a 15 inch, one with a 
9.5 
inch (my PowerPC PB540c) and even an old black and white PB 170 with a 640 x 
400 
screen.

I find that 12 inch is fine. My blueberry iBook is a wonderful, use-able unit 
and the only time I have a problem with screen size is when some dufis 
designs an application program with too many pallets and menu pannels that 
can't be 
resized or hidden.

OK, here's the kicker, the complaint wasn't about a 12 inch LCD on a 
powerbook or iBook, it was my father's current wife complaining about the 
heavily 
upgraded, 500MHz G3 powered 20th Annaversary Macintosh. I have one just like it 
and it's one of the finest units ever designed, essentially a PowerBook in a 
desktop case with a fantastic sterio built in.

Back to my original question, do people have genuine issues with 12 inch 
screen size?

playstation and bridging the wireless base stations

[VicNaz1]

What are you using to "bridge" the wireless base stations? Although I had 
read about the possibility I've not been able to track down an actuall 
procedure 
to make the units speak to each other and pass data. I'd like to be able to 
bridge using directional antennas over some significant distances.

As to getting the playstation hooked up, have you been able to pass data over 
the playstation's connection using another computer? In short, are you sure 
the connection you've rigged up to the playstation is even "hot" or not.

G3 AC adapter replacements

[VicNaz1]

Anyone who still has the small black rectangular power adapter that came with 
the Wall Street and early Pizmo PowerBooks should go to this web site and get 
a new one. They may discontinue the program any time now that they are 
technically not supporting the Wall St.

PC and Mac on the same wireless network is simplicity

you should have no issue at all Brian. The only thing I've ever noticed is 
some limitations on AppleTalk and the occational strangeness with WEP security.

painted iBook

[VicNaz1]

Take it to a mom 'n' pop certified Apple shop to get it repaired. Most of 
them are a little less stodgy about working on the unit and will usually 
actually 
look for the PROBLEM rather than look for a way to get out of liability or 
boost the repair rate. Shop around also. Where are you?

Odd Wall St. w/System Profiler

[VicNaz1]

OK, here's an interesting one. I just came into posession of a Wall St. and 
I'm trying to get it all working and happy. Apple System profiler identifies it 
all correctly and perfectly (using 9.2.2 for now) but for some reason 
identifies the speed as a G3 running at 450.

Now I don't want to complain but that's way cool if true. IS there a hack to 
take these units up that high with their normal CPU (it's originally a 300, so 
says the sticker on the bottom). Did someone make a 450 G3 upgrade for these 
beasties?

video to disk

[VicNaz1]

First off, consider using the Video CD format VCD for your transfer of VHS 
tape material instead of DVD. The VCD format plays just fine on about 98% of DVD 
players and you can record on regular CD burner media at about 20¢ or so a 
pop instead of $2 each for DVD media. The Quality of MPEG-1 VCD is just fine for 
recording from older analog media. The MPEG-2 format in DVD will just more 
accurately record the lack of quality of VHS tape, not make it better.

My two ¢ worth.

By the way, all of you with older G-books and older Macs without DVD players 
built in, you can play VCD movies just fine so long as your processor is about 
200 MHz or faster. They can be purchased commercially (yes, legal studio 
porduced copies sold in europe and asia) at web sites like http://www.coolvcd.com 
and http://www.allvcd.com and VCDs typically cost much less than half of what 
DVDs cost.

Minidisk to Mac

[VicNaz1]

Yes, if someone figures this out, either with some USB or Firewire option or 
using Optical cable, I'd love to know. I have a pre-USB Sony Minidisk unit 
that has an interface and also an Optical cable input but so far as I know I've 
never found a way to directly interface it with the Mac. That's a double shame 
too because for the magazine I write for I use this unit as a recoreder during 
interviews.

Wow, Farallon Skyline Wireless works great

[VicNaz1]

I am so super please with my $20 Farallon Skyline Wireless 802.11b that I 
thought I'd mention it. I'm running it on OS 9.2 on my Wall St. and the install 
was flawless and the included tools make it a breeze to get on both Airport and 
also generic Wi-Fi systems.

I highly recommend it.

Cheap Wi-Fi/Airport for Wall St.

[VicNaz1]

Just a quick question. 

What's the cheapest Wi-Fi card I can get for a Wall St. that will work with 
both 9 and X? I also need a cheap FireWire/USB Card. I don't need speed. USB 
1.1 is fine and 802.11b is fine, don't need g speeds. I'd love to have 128 Bit 
encription (gold) rather than 40 bit (silver) but if price is the factor I need 
cheap. I'm a poor Grad student for another 18 months of my life.

Thanks
Victor

Issues with Microsoft

[VicNaz1]

In a message dated 5/2/04 11:55:58 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

>Mike, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said:
>> I don't see how Microsoft 
>>has done anything evil? or Haliburton for that matter, just examples.

Well there's always people who say this or that but I personally was there to 
see Bill Gates' greed and shoddy quality control of the products he promotes 
deprive people of their lives.

At NIH I was there for the gear up of the Y2K issue and the huge installation 
of Windows NT 4.0 for our mostly Dell and Compaq PCs (The Macs were going 
through their own hell of System 7.5). My area of responsibility was all of the 
outpatient research areas and clinics in the Clinical Center and I was well 
"plugged in" with what was going on throughout much of NIH at the time.

Anyway, I was there to see with my own eyes how much money had to be diverted 
to dealing with extrem bugs in NT including delightful lies told about how it 
was Y2K safe with Service Patch 3 and then 4 (God but they were both 
nightmares) and 5 and 6. SP 3 and 4 were the worst and would often completely scramble 
parts of the OS on Compaq machines rendering them unusable and sometimes 
unrecoverable.

Essentially we were lied to when they sold us the original installs, I think 
it was at SP 2, claiming it would do much more than it really could and was 
much more crash proof and Y2K safe than it really was and then lied to with each 
and every new service pack. The total man hours added up to several million 
dollars that should have been spent on patient care and research. What blew me 
away is that we continued to purchase MORE of these deffective software 
products. It all went to perpetuating Bill Gates' bank account.

For those who feed some line of BS about MS products have facilitated and 
advanced research, I say that's a crock. Nothing that the Windows units did at 
that time was any better or more helpful in the work environment than what the 
Macs were doing in that arena and the windows machines cost a significant 
amount more to keep running. In Mid 1999 I was hired on at the US Institute of 
Peace, perhaps the only all Mac US Gov. body still in existance and we spent not a 
single dime on Y2K pervention or failures. We were the only Fed. Gov agency 
that could claim that.

I may agree with some people on this or that right wing or left wing 
political topic but on this I am firm, Gates' greed and poor quality control is a 
horrible thing that really shows me the overall nature of their business which is 
make money and maintain revinue stream. I have doubts as to Bill Gates' 
genuine public interest or honesty.

Forget wireless Net Boot for Pizmo, Wall St.

[VicNaz1]

You should pretty much just give up on this idea. The 9500, no matter what G3 
card you got in it will just not have the horsepower to do this and I'm 
pretty sure there is no way to get the Wall St. using a third party wireless card 
to even try to net boot wirelessly. I don't think the ROMs in a Wall St. will 
support any form of net booting anyway, hard wired or other. Don't forget 
memory, you'll want to have a minimum of 1 Gig in the 9500 and that old world 168 
Pin DIMM memory isn't particularly cheap.

Pizmo might work but the 9500 will still be a liability. For a project like 
this Apple has always recommend "colored" plastic (iMac/iBook and later) and a 
minimum of G3 300 server. In reality, we gave up on our net booting at the US 
Institute of Peace even using hard wired access because of load on the server 
and there simply not being a significant need for any remote machine to boot 
from the server. Just what is it you need to do this for?

OK, Bluetooth Cell phone with Cingular & PowerBook

[VicNaz1]

OK, I've got a new Bluetooth USB plugged into a PowerBook G4 with OS X.3 
(tried it on an iMac and an iBook, same results) and all works well and the phone 
and the computer(s) can see each other but the OS X setup askes for a CID 
String to dial directly into the GPRS Cell Phone data network and Cingular won't 
give me that info. They say I have to use the software on the CD they sell and 
it's only for Windows XP, 2000.

Does anyone know anything about how to get the CID String from Cingular? The 
setup works great and I can even use the Cell Phone to dial an analog phone 
line out to the world but that give crappy throughput. What I want (and I'm 
already paying for it) is to dial into the network and use the 64K or 128 K 
throughput that's already enabled in the Cingular system. 

Any advice?

G3 USB PowerBook Expansion Bay hard drive case for sale

[VicNaz1]

I have a G3 USB PowerBook Expansion Bay hard drive case for sale. This is a 
handy little case that you can mount any 2.5 inch IDE/ATA laptop hard drive and 
it then becomes a handy dandy slip-in, high speed backup storage drive. It 
fits in PowerBook G3 units that have USB (after Wall St. but before Titanium) 
such as Bronze, Pizmo, etc.

I'm asking $50.

Recomendations for updates for Wall St.

[VicNaz1]

Looking to add in a FireWire/USB 1.1 PCMCIA combo card AND also add in a 
802.11b card to a Wall St. running OS 9.2.2. I will be upgrading to X later so if 
these cards can be made to work with X that would be good. 

Any recommendations? The Wall St. fortunately has 2 card slots.

Thanks guys,

Wall St. Panther X.3 install

[VicNaz1]

OK, I'm new on the gbook list but I"ve been on the PowerBook list for years. 

Ok, I'm re-doing a Wall St. 266 from the ground up. I've already gotten the 
new stainless steel hinges, cover latch, etc. etc. and before I got around to 
getting the new memory, pair of 256 SODIMMS, I went ahead and tried to install 
X.3. I had heard that it wouldn't do it but I wanted to try anyway. I had just 
completely reformatted the drive and installed fresh 9.2.2 and went ahead and 
tried. To my suprise it went ahead and progressed with the install all the 
way to the 2nd to last step when it told me that I didn't have enough memory 
(only 96 at that time, last Wed.) so I let it close out. New memory came this 
morning, installed it, now maxed out at 512 (unless one of you has found a way to 
get even more RAM in this) and tried to continue with the X.3 install, it 
now, quickly comes up with the "cannit install, unit not compitable with X.3" or 
words to that effect.

Anyone make this work yet? I even tried removing the bits of X.3 that the 
previous attempt had successfully installed thinking that some "widgit" had been 
left behind by the previous install and "poisoned" the further attempts. 

Any suggestions? If I can make this work I'm thinking about getting the G4 
500 card from Sonnett and installing it.

Thanks,
Victor
