Re: Memory for Wallstreet
Be careful about the memory in the Wallstreet. I was only able to get 256 total (2 - 128 chips, Kingston) ram work in my Wallstreet 233, which also had a Powerlogix 466 upgrade card installed. There have been many listers that reported successfully using the larger 512 chips and some reporting 2 - 512 working. Since Apple only certified the Wallstreet for 192 mb ram, you are really on your own. Most reputable vendors will take the memory back either in exchange or credit. As far as I know, no one ever offered an answer why some people could and some couldn't make the higher ram work.

Re: USB to ethernet
Does anyone know if there is a Mac compatible (Mac OSX) usb-ethernet adapter that would work with a usb printer. The idea is to hook the printer to the ethernet port of the D-Link wireless router to use with our wireless notebooks. I can use a wireless usb print server, but I want to investigate a more economical solution (if there is one). Thanks for all the help in advance.

Re: OT: Internet Service Provider?
Net Zero has giving me nothing but trouble. I tried to use them for my Mom and her Imac, after their site crashed twice trying to sign up, we went and renewed her back in Earthlink. Then a few weeks go by and she received a welcome letter to Net Zero, we replied that we had not finished the application process, but if it did go through by some miracle, then we wanted to cancel since we did not use it at all. A few more weeks go by and the same email comes back, we cancelled again by email and also on their website. We never saw any charges for 2 months on her credit card, then on the 3rd month, she was charged for all 3 months (and we never signed on for their service). We have been fighting this ever since. One more note about Net Zero, in order to speak with a live person for any reason, you have to use a toll number which costs $1.98/ minute and is charged automatically to your phone bill. Sorry for the rant, but I am steamed about Net Zero and their policies.

Re: iBook and Airport
I have a 700 iBook with Airport card, the family iMac is wired to the D-Link wireless router via ethernet and the iBook and wife's Dell use the wireless. The D-Link systems have worked very well and I have found D-Link to be more Mac friendly than Linksys. All you will need is a wireless router with ethernet and you can attach your B&W and the broadband modem directly. Then your Airport card can be used wirelessly.

Re: Ebay G5 query
There was a similar auction running here (US) on ebay for then the latest G4 towers. If you one (and I think everyone who bid probably was contacted by seller and given the info if you paid) you received the email instructions to get a "low cost, new G4". One thing that was a red flag, they only accepted money order or checks. So if you received your email and the info was bogus, you lost your money. Be careful of things to good to be true, especially Macintosh products on ebay. I think I read that the Macintosh products (the powerbooks in particular) were the leading scam products.

Re: WallStreet RAM upgrade question
I was not able to get to 512 ram even with name brand ram in my Wallstreet. This was probably due (in part) to the Powerlogix upgrade card I also installed. Some readers have reported having the upgrade card and the 512 ram, while others had the same problems. As far as I know, no one really found the answer. I went back to 256 total ram and the Wallstreet was fine. Just make sure you can return the ram if for some reason it doesn't work. Typically, any reputable company allows for return/exchange. Good luck! Best Regards, Wayne Schneck Marketing Manager FME 800.327.5676 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...

Re: GarageBand on Pismo?
I thought I noticed that iLife only comes on DVD (or one of the programs), in which case you must also have a DVD player.

Re: weird email
I have received one delivery failed notice email which I did not originally send. There was an attachment listed as a partial email that was saved (in a folder). Inside was a .exe file, not an email, partial or otherwise, so this was probably some Win virus. Just trashed it and went on.

Re: Uninstall for Panther
Hey Everybody: Does anyone know if there is a reliable uninstall program that works for Panther, or is it built into the system itself (like Windows). I have some trial stuff that I installed and the discs do not have an uninstall function. Back in os9, you could use Spring Cleaning if you were very careful about what you were deleting, is there something else anyone has used and can recommend? Thanks.

Re: PB G3 Blacks out, won't restart
Here are the companies I found which repair powerbooks: powerbookguy.com pbparts.com powerbooktech.com powerbookmedic.com wegenermedia.com Most of these companies also sell pulled parts in working condition if you feel like undertaking the repair yourself. I think the flat rate for service was about $75, plus what the parts costs.

Re: PB G3 Blacks out, won't restart
Kevin: This same problem cropped up with my Wallstreet. In the beginning, it was only one or two forced restarts, then it was fine. By the time I ripped all my hair out in frustration, it was taking up to 30 (yes, 30) forced restarts. I went through the usual suspects; ram, processor board, re-install system, etc. The culprit was the PMU unit, located under the left palm rest. Since it required a complete disassembly of the computer, I opted to purchase a new one, but there are several companies that replace this for a flat repair charge plus part costs. Hope this helps.

Re: Panther rant was: A new start and Pismo upgrades

Just remember they have to use Windows, so any little conveniences that Apple software brings them is a blessing.

Re: G3/Mac OS X Settlement
I received the full settlement report from the lawyers. As a mac supporter, I threw the hole thing in the trash. Class action suits benefit the law offices that file more than the actually participants since they get there cut from the over-all settlement amount, or their high fees are paid on top of the settlement. These law offices regularly seek ways to design a class action and then lobby for participants. There are some legitimate suits filed, but most of the ones I come across are questionable if there was actually any wrong doing by the corporation they are seeking damages from. In many cases, it is easier and cheaper for the company to settle instead of fight the suit. I did not use OSX regularly on my Wallstreet, but purchased it with the desire to trial it and learn it at my own pace, using OS9 for actual work. I will not add to Apple's cost for this one, since, in the end, we all pay for it in higher costs to the company.
