Re: Outdoor screen
My Pismo came with a 10 Gig Toshiba, I recently changed it to a 40 gig Toshibaso quiet and sooo fast... nick Do you mind if I ask where you got the Toshiba HD and what it cost. Also, about how long does it take to take out the old hard drive and install a new one? Thanks, Ed Z -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Outdoor screen
There are screens that you can mount to your laptop--actually hoods--that enable you to see clearly. Seems like a pain to me. I've tried only once (with a clamshell iBook) to use it in sunlight. Didn't work very well. http://www.pbzone.com/hoodmanreview.shtml I was looking for info today on backlights (my son's iBook light died) and found all kinds of interesting threads on designing something to use ambient light through the back of a clear computer lid.

Is there an outboard outdoor monitor screen that uses the kind of technology for overhead projectors or something like that? Heck, I can see bits of the screen backlighted through the Apple logo - this should be possible. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I disable the bulb (saving battery and display life) and angle the laptop with the sun so that it provides the lumination I need. It increases battery life by up to 55% on my TiBook. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

All I have done is reseat my airport once and change out the RAM on the first X.2 install. Besides, how would I use it at home (99.8% of the time) if I unplugged the bulb? :-) -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Outdoor screen
I run a Lombard with the stock hard drive, and have been watching Travelstar prices over the summer. Would anyone suggest doing otherwise (than a Travelstar)? ... or suggest a good source for a 30GB drive and a case for the old one? Thanks, JRA -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
