Re: WallStreet Wireless

[wappling]

 Re; does the wallstreet accept an airport card?  if not Im am haveing good
luck with a D-Link base station DI-614+, 803.11B ,Im sure it would be OK
with a D-link PCMICA card,at the time this was less than half the cost of
airport at best-buy and works like its made for it,lately though genuine
airport is more within price reason (prices dropped a week later),for me
mail order is more than a pain in case a return is needed. buying local is
really important for me,,Im sure your maileage may vary.

Re: iMac to iBook

[wappling]

Re;first,congrats on the new machine,so far carbon copy cloner has worked
fine for me,I have TI 800 and two external HD's from my old tower in
firewire boxes,being that im new to all this,haveing everything in working
order to reload is a major good deal to me,cause i dont know enough about
this yet,when you decide to copy ,first have your apps backed-up
somewhere,then (i) erased and initialized the target disk,then open carbon
copy and it shows you,disk to record from and disk to record to,I learned
that while in operation ,leave machine alone until completed,i thought i
could check mail during process and I cause it to fail,reset to try again,
all went well.i have 2 complete system copies,each i then update with music
on one and movies on the other.hope this helps


 
 I have just received an iBook 800 with 640 MB of ram that I had
 purchased on
 eBay. I have been running OS X 10.2.3 on the iMac from an external
 firewire
 drive. The iBook OS install disks install OS X 10.2.1.
 
 What is the best way for me to upgrade to 10.2.3 and transfer my
 applications and preferences to the iBook? Are there iBook specific
 help
 files, etc. installed on the iBook that I will lose if I simply copy
 system
 10.2.3 from the external drive to the iBook? Anything else I should
 know
 about?

Re: G4 Sleeve recommendations?

think) I found an excellant foam padded case with a bit of extra room inside

more,a bit smaller and also soft foam packed,but it really works well

stayed rubbery until a certain point then got hard as a rock,when the
booster, because of low temperture shrank the seal didnt,then leaked ,and
only on the side of the main fuel tank where it eventually burned
through,the material itself had been tested and was not approved at that
temp, though it was only a few degrees lower that had ben launched
earlier,but as an engine assembly,they did not yet have a test facility for
cold as they do now.after all this is florida.under pressure to launch they

current for awhile,whether they will make additional changes in the g3

G-4 powerbook heat

[wappling]

Hi,I have an 800 G-4 PB,it can get hot with several hours use,so far my
rig-fix is I have the screen elevated on a bed tray and a table top
oscillating fan next to me blowing air across the keyboard and
underneath,all but the power brick remain running cool to the touch,has
anyone seen a refined product available to accomplish this?while this does
work well ,size and weight are not good.I've seen the flyfan,I even have the
flylight,but I would rather locate an enclosed fan underneath my machine out
of the way,perhaps a fan mounted in the pcmica slot? though ive not yet
found one.  thankyou

Re: powerbook opinion

[wappling]

RE;yes a crystal ball would be helpful,Im presantly on my second mac,haveing
worn the first one(9500) into a smoldering heap in two years,and now this
one in a little over three,I think expansion when I purchase,but I havent
really done very much, as I have learned the more I try to add the more the
machine becomes problematic,to nearly unuseable in the presant situation.the
presant I-book comes better equiped than the G4 350 sawtooth with the the
add-ons.so my thinking is this machine OS9.2.2 as is for existing
peripherals,and the I-book for OS X.then maybe next time move up to a more
expensive machine when I have some better Idea just what to get,because
right now Im more confused than usual. except that its comes out cheaper to
replace this machine than to repair and upgrade it for OSX,just my
opinion,and thankyou for the help

Re: running pismo closed

RE; since I only have a G-4 tower and not a book Im going to guess heat will
continue to be a problem simply because the size heat sink for a g-4 chip is
enormous,and the fan system is the best Ive ever seen short of water
cooling,with the intro of the powerbook in titanium the entir case is a heat
sink,what Im thinking is add-in fans made for PC notebooks may be the best
solution,and I appreciate your postings as its helping me greatly in

Re: Airport connection dropouts

[wappling]

RE; voltage filters and transformers can be OK for controling spikes or
rises in voltage,Im thinking perhaps drops in voltage may be the cause of
signal loss at the base station antenae? the easiest way to tell if you dont
have a meter,is plug-in and incandesant light bulb fixture to that outlet
and see if it dims during use.could even be a bad pluggin socket or bad
transformer brick.its going to be hard to spot except when its actually
screwing up.hope this helps in your search

Re: Airport connection dropouts

[wappling]

RE; if possable try to monitor the voltage at your wall plug, the power
company  may be your culprit,though there are a number of things that can
cause you trouble,if so a ups battery back-up is in order.such are the
problems in my area, your milage will vary

Re: Lombard help needed

[wappling]

RE;Im sure there are other answers as well, but I know if you call or e-mail
small dog (list sponser) with your machine serial number they can get you a
price and order a new one from apple,which in my opinion is a better
alternative to haveing one repaired. hope this helps
