losing value....
That and the fact that PC's lose their value far faster than Mac's. How much is my TiBook 550Mhz which I bought 3 months ago worth now, compared to new then :-) Actually on the PC side, I haven't found this to be the case. If you buy the lower end - say a Pentium 4 @ 1.8Ghz! = $899, it doesn't hurt that much to lose a few hundred on the price.

Re: stuck pixel repair for Wallstreet 300?
Sometimes this works, but rarely permanently; usually, you'll get it to disappear for a few hours, until the next time the display is bumped, or until the next time the computer is restarted. I have had a Duo 2300 and Wallstreet that both had a bad pixel. I massaged the darn thing and it did indeed clear up. It's weird that it worked. After that, I was lucky, the bad pixels never came back. Sometimes other pixels started acting up, then I rubbed them and they went away. So I guess it's worth a try.

Re: BLUECHIP
Does this mean that I can exceed my Powerbooks specifications and move up to 512 without any negative reprocussions? Absolutely NOT. For example, I HAD a 256MB DIMM in my powerbook. It worked flawlessly with my previous Powerlogix card and with the Apple card. After receiving my replacement Powerlogix card (which was bad initially BTW), the 256MB RAM is no longer compatible. So even though it worked fine for 2 cards, all of a sudden it's out of spec which is totally @#$#%#@$ if you ask me. I don't believe it all of a sudden came out of spec. They were the WORST company I have ever dealt with.

Re: TiBook not recognizing RAM module
my TiBook 550 hasn't recognized either one of them. It appears to meet Apple specs: PC 133 low-profile SDRAM (that's what it says on the module itself. I am so confused about this whole issue. Apparently from what little I have read, our TiBook needs PC100 memory. However, it supposedly can take PC133. We have a 100Mhz bus as opposed to 133. Now read this response I got from Powerlist: The EEprom on most SoDIMMS only contain two different timing settings. A PC100 module only contain the settings for PC66 and PC100 and a PC133 module only for PC133 and PC100. This means that most PC133 modules won't work in a system with a PC66 bus. So, from the above, YES your computer should be able to use the PC133 module since it contains info for 133 and 100. Can you tell me what kind of module is currently in your TiBook? Is it 133 or 100 (the memory that came from Apple). If it's PC100, then I should be able to use it in my Wallstreet. Anyway, I have two 256MB modules coming in, I will let you know how mine goes.

Re: BLUECHIP
That is the worst horror story I have ever heard. Well, maybe not the worst :-) Still bad though. I also think that OWC should have pulled the contract with PL. Maybe so... well, they said they have changed how they deal with Powerlogix. FWIW: Apparently Sonnet is better - they _did_ go through a round where they were putting lower clock rate marked chips on boards, but apparently this was a manufacturer marking and not indicative of the actual rated speed of the chip. whatever Anyway, Newer Tech is going back online - they had some cool products. Back to Powerlogix. After receiving my modded and fixed board, their attitude towards me changed radically. They insist that my RAM is out of spec even though it worked with their prior board(s) and the Apple Board. Actually I forgot, it's 3 to one. I had: Apple Board - RAM works. 1st Powerlogix board 466 - RAM works. 2nd Powerlogx Board RAM works. Last Powerlogix board - RAM does not work.

Re: Diff between Rev a B TiBooks?
that the Rev B was MUCH FASTER for audio I guess it's all a trade Sorry, I meant REV A -- was faster for audio. off, the Firewire and Graphics card is much faster for Rev B. This part is correct. Everything I have read has said that it was the opposite, that while the rev.B has strengths, audio was not one of them due to the lack of cache and the PPC used had half the memory bandwidth compared to the older 7410.

Re: TiBook vs G3 Wallstreet
I recently upgraded from a Wallstreet to a TiBook Me too. are not ideal, in general it's been a big win and I don't regret it at all.' Yep My biggest complaint on my Rev B version was lack of audio in (but I knew this) and the generally flimsy design. I have to take my watch off when using it or use a cloth to protect the powerbook. I had mine for 2 weeks when I noticed the paint was chipping off due to my watch. Of course this never happened in 4 years of using my Wallstreet (since it's plastic). The Wallstreet is stronger, has more ports (due to PC cards), and is almost as fast for most things (due to processor upgrade). In general though, the TiBook is nice although I think for me, the Wallstreet was the best Apple computer I owned. It has all the ports (SCSI, Serial, USB, Firewire), is totally compatible with OS 9 and X and was built like a tank. My TiBook is probably the nicest looking Mac I have ever owned although fragile.

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches
I've had many, many people bring theirs to me, claiming these were scratches and every last one of them, I could easily buff out with a moist cloth. You might want to go to the apple support forums and tell the many users that have posted about their scratches that they can easily buff out marks. :-) Seriously, most have tried. I think it has something to do with the disintegrating screen rubber stoppers etc and the tight tolerances. Let's not get into the bad paint issue which is certainly real as well.

Re: TiBook Screen Scratches

PowerLogix is not the size of Amoco, and unless I'm an idiot, I doubt seriously that they have the capital to hire a whole new staff to deal with this issue.

Re: Can't play DVD on TV
Joshua, I went through this... it's terrible. YES there is a problem and it's mainly with the terrible documentation. Here's the deal, the DVD player on my system does exactly what you said. It gives an error. I've tried everything until I read on the Apple's forum that the real problem is the DVD player being unable to play except on the main screen. What is the main screen? Well it's the one with the menu bar on it. In addition, you cannot be mirroring. So. Turn off mirroring - the powerbook will be one display, the TV another. Now go to the monitors control panel in SYSTEM 9, and click on arrange and move the menu bar to the TV. Now you should be able to view the DVD on the TV. Set the resolution to 780X4XX??? something like that - I don't have the PB here. Choose full screen or the equivalent.

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
Of all the good points you brought up, this one is the killer for me. I was TOTALLY into my digital camera until I recently went to a party and I wanted to take pictures FAST. NO WAY! I got one shot off and had to wait while the damn thing took its time getting ready for the next shot. Not only that, the flash takes a while to charge up too. That alone is painful. Aron there is always a delay when shooting--so you cannot use electronic cameras to take any action shots.

Weird Wallstreet Battery problem
Just recently my Battery shows totally dead with the LEDs and button on the side of it. However in OS 9 the battery shows as totally FULL. Even if I swap it into the right bay, the control strip and clock/battery icon shows totally full. I have tried Battery Reset and Power Management Reset but it still shows full. Of course it isn't. I can unplug the power adaptor and it will shut right off. Does it sound like the PMU Board?

Re: Good, inexpensive digital camera
1.3 Megapixels, I feel, is not good enough for average photograhy. For web stuff, fine. 2.1 is kind of a minimum, I feel, to decent photography. The weird part is that I have seen 1.3 megapixel pictures printed out that are great. I wonder how they do that?? I have a 2 megapixel camera and it's ok. I have seen some nice 1 MP pictures though.

Re: First powerbook maybe
To add to Brian's excellent post I add this: If you get a Powerbook and like the freedom it gives, be prepared to have a very difficult time going back to only a desktop. It's addicting. Be prepared for the most part to have a slower machine than a desktop AND to pay more for it. Be prepared to have less upgrades available and to have less disk storage onboard. Get insurance like safeware.com - it's worth it $50/year for $2000 coverage. Get used to envious people eyeing your powerbook just because it's awesome.

Re: Win2k on VPC on Tibook
It's not that bad. Win2k on a TiBook 550 is very usable. Well, I am willing to post performance results. I have used PC since the DOS days and this is really slow. Maybe Win2K is better but Win 98 is dog slow. I would say unusable. Here's a recommendation for the more technically inclined - at www.98lite.net, they have an app that will allow you to remove IE from Windows 98. I guess I could see how that might speed it up a little, but this is basic operating speed slow. For even more speed, and if you have a Win95 install CD handy, you can download another app from them that will allow you to substitute the slower Win98 explorer shell for the Win95 explorer shell. I believe the Win95 shell is faster but even so, this is really slow. So are you running VPC under OS X?? I would be interested in how you are getting it to be useable - mine is complete unacceptable. As I said, Win 95 under OS 9 (not classic) is very useable.

Re: Win2k on VPC on Tibook
VPC on a tiBook running classic will feel like a 200-300 mhz Pentium or Pentium II, maybe, depending on what you're doing with it. (note not P3 or P4) For grins, try running Windows 95 under Classic in VPC.Quite fast and useable. Too bad you really need Win 98 for most stuff - then it's back to slow. For tears, try checking out VPC under OS X, it's like a 486 running Windows 98.
