Re: re home net

[Luis Sequeira]

Vicki,
The graphite ABS cannot be used as a bridge. The ethernet port on 
the station is designed only as an uplink to your DSL/Cable modem. 
New versions of the ABS -- "Snow" and "Extreme" -- have a dedicated 
WAN port that allows bridging. Having said that, there's several 
inexpensive alternatives these days (<$100) that you should be able 
to find at your local computer store that will allow you to bridge 
your network.

As a side note, if you run an 802.11b (11 mbps) base station or 
client on your 802.11g (54 mbps) network, it will cause the base 
station to revert to 802.11b (slower) speeds. To take full advantage 
of the 802.11g protocol, it's best to ensure that all clients are 
802.11g capable and running in full 802.11g mode.

HTH,

P.S. Here's a webpage with more info:

Maybe this does not help, but the Graphite Base Station *can* be used 
as a bridge.
I have one. It is set up with a checkmark on "Enable Airport to 
Ethenet Bridging" and with all options for "Nat" and "Dhcp" turned 
off.

Granted, my setup is different than Vicki's, in that my base station 
is *wired* to the modem/router and my 'books connect *wirelessly* to 
the BS. Nevertheless, wired and wireless  computers do connect to 
each other and to the internet. Whether this may also work the other 
way around, I do not know, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Hi Vicki-
I don't have an ABS but I think that they come in 2 types; one with a 
built in router and one without. If you have the one without, it should 
just be a switch and maybe we can figure it out. If it is the router 
variety, I think that would be your problem. You would have to 
substitute a hub. Each router supplying its own address might be your 
problem.

Re: RE.: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original

[Andrew F.]

The new PowerBooks should drop everything down in price.  I got very lucky
and sold my 1.0 GHz 12" (Combo Drive, AE and 80GB HD) the day before the new
ones were announced and got $1000 for it, only $400 less than I paid for it
a year ago (student pricing), and 2/3 the cost of the 12" SuperDrive model
I'm typing this on now.  Actually I sold my Pismo the day after which made
up the rest of the shortage, so I got the new PB without spending any money
at all, though going from two books to one.  Guess I'll get another Lombard
or Pismo in a few months to get back p to parity, though the Kanga isn't bad
for now in the backup role.

For what it's worth, Pismo 400 and 500's are going for pennies on the 
dollar on eBay these days.  Think it's due to the newest Powerbooks 
just released.  I would recommend just getting the Pismo over the

Beware that some otherwise very neat printers are specificaaly set up 
to make it hard for you to refill the cartridges.

You can beat this system - I did it with our HP 5150 - and print for 
practically nothing by refilling your own cartridges.

With the HP 5xxx series, the printer rememebrs how much ink it has 
used from each cartridge. So if you refill one & put it back in, it 
refuses to use it, insisiting it is empty.

But it only has memory for 2 cartridges. We bought three and cycle 
them round in a circle. It has thus 'forgotten' about the first one 
by the time you get back to it.   So far have used about 2 pints of 
ink, must be hundreds of refills, for total cost of 3 cartridges + 
about $10 USD  for the ink.

Had to give my two cents in. . .the Epson line is great.  Forget the 
all in ones altogether and grab a Stylus C series by Epson, and look 
for a flatbed scanner.  My scanner is portable; powered by the USB hub 
by Canon.  My entire system, with the exception of my Epson printer, 
fits neatly in the laptop bag when I'm on the go.  What's the system?  
Pismo 500, keyboard light, Canon scanner, Zip drive, CD/RW drive, iPod 
Photo, iSight, Casio digital camera AND even some media if I need it.  
Of course, I'm the geek who puts any software based media I made need 
for a business trip on my watch but that's another story!

Is it sounding like I don't like all in ones?  I don't.  As a freelance 
computer geek who goes to people's homes everyday and helpe people 
decide which computer is best for what I am tired of seeing all-in-ones 
confusing computers.  HP is the worst.  Don't get me wrong, but the 
hardware is very well built, even the Lexmark line is decent.  BUT. . 
.hardware is where it stops.  The software for these machines is in the 
dark ages.  My grandmother has a G4 800 with an HP all-in-one and she 
made me get rid of the thing. . .THREE months after she bought it!  
Now, she's happy with a simple printer by. . .of all brands. .

The CX4600 can use 9.1 or OSX, so if you use either of those it should work
fine.

I need an all in one printer for my sisters pismo.  I would like to
have some type of inkjet with a flatbed scanner included.  Can 
someone
make a recommendation please.

I had one picked out from Lexmark, but it is USB 2.0 only.  I need 
USB
1.x.

Hi, Craig!
My son is using a HP PSC 1315, with his Sony Vaio, and is very
satisfied with it. It is a printer/scanner/copier. Very economically
priced. $100 @ Best Buy
So I bought one today, and will install the needed software and check
how will it works on my Pismo/512 Mb/OS X.3.6.
Will keep you posted.  :-)

Well, I did it. Installed everything and the darn thing works 
perfectly.
And it is OS 9 compatible, too!
So, for the low price, a scanner, copier and printer? Good deal!
Best regards.
Hugo Diaz

I ended up getting a Epson CX4600 for $129.  It has an integrated 
flat-bed scanner, color copier, print/view straight from media, and of 
course a printer.  Works with a Pismo!

I believe his point is that he installed the 10.3.5 update --- without
doing the Repair Permissions, booting off the OS X CD and repair the

Hi, Listers!
Yesterday I installed the upgrade with no problems. I DIDN'T run

The upgrade is stable, but I do not find it faster.
There were a number of security fixes in this one, but the really big 
improvements were seen by people with NVidia cards in their desktops. 
There were a lot of problems with those in 10.3.4.

No speed-related fixes I saw in the notes.

Folks,

The list is not to express opinions or debate about whether Apple is good or
not or whether someone is a liar, exaggerated or not.

It's about talking about problems and solutions that relate to PowerBooks
and iBook G3 and G4.

Drop this thread immediately, please.

The next person to post a message to the list that has "libel", "blah blah",
"hypocrassy" or other similar terms will have to take a little break from
the list.

I won't repeat this warning.

WARNING: long reply.... Re: Re: Interesting related follow up on : Libel, Blah de blah, HypoCRASSy, etc.

[Bigbikerbo]

Warning: This is a long posting.  Please read it thru COMPLETELY, or just 
delete it.
It is not a personal attack, though it is a reply to one posting. 
It IS related to Apple Powerbooks AND it is related to this listserve.
It is my last posting on this subject, I promise.
- - - - - - 

Geoff,

I'm sorry to hear that you had problems with your Pismo's.. I'd be interested 
in knowing what was wrong, and what Apple did wrong about covering them.  
I've been VERY VERY pleased with my Pismo--just put a G4/550 card in it from 
Daystar. It rocks. Great machine...

BUT, I cannot agree with you on several of your statements. And, PLEASE don't 
make broad statements that hijack my opinion or assume others' positions as 
well, unless you have factual data to corroborate. 

First, do you know EVERY MAC HEAD?  I'm a bonafide Machead. Do you know me? I 
filled out that same report on computers, and no, I did NOT put Excellent in 
every category.  Please don't print your own assumptions and call them facts, 
cause it is false.

But back to facts..
1. How did Gwendelyn Wells lie? (you mentioned her and stated that they ALL 
lied)..
2. how was she crude?  (and they "all were rude and crude"??)

I don't necessarily disagree with "rude" as i've spoken with some bone-head 
phone support before; however most of them were erring to the side of idiot, 
and none were rude or crude to my recollection; people usually get fired for 
being rude or crude..

Furthermore, I entirely disagree with your last generalization: ("the only 
way Apple responds.is a law suit").. This is simply NOT factual, and there 
is no way on this planet that you can back that up with data.  There are two 
known major suits against Apple (5300 series and white iBooks). Are you saying 
that they have only had TWO bad products?  Is the Pismo a BAD product?? I don't 
think so--I've owned three and they were all three WONDERFUL.  If the only 
"bad products" Apple ever made were the iBook and 5300 , then you should be 
absolutely singing their praises. If not, then you are the lying one here, because 
you have published a factually wrong statement about the company.

Don't missunderstand me. I don't mind that you aren't happy with all their 
services, and I understand your opinion is that they didn't treat you well. But 
that said, you CANNOT generalize YOUR personal experience into a broad 
statement about every other person in the same scenario. 

This is becomming WAY TOO COMMON on this listserve.. It's not Geoff 
personally (or even others personally--I don't know any of you personally).  But the 
fact of the matter is that folks are posting non-factual statements, and nobody 
seems to care Someone has a bad experience with somebody else. They then 
decide to post NON-FACTUAL statements (ie., FICTIONAL, NON-TRUTH, which could 
otherwise be defined as LIES) onto the listserve.

WORDS HAVE MEANING. 

If you generalize and make broad statements that are not factually true, YOU 
ARE LYING. It's not personal, it's just reality.  When you publish statements 
(email, broadcast, fax) that are not factually solid, you are on very shaky 
ground. For starters, technically, you're creating libel. 
See American Heritage Dictionary definition of libel below:
libel (lh2bõl) Law. n.
   A.  A false publication in writing, printing, or typewriting or in 
signs or pictures that maliciously damages the reputation or a person  or entity 
.  B. The act or an instance of presenting such a statement to the public.

A false publication about Apple's support damages the reputation of Apple, 
and is therefore, libel.  (by definition of American Heritage) 

I'm not trying to make a rant out of this, but I will do so for the sake of 
the ethos of this listserve.  The BASIS of our communication is words. And 
words have meaning, definition, value. Many of us on this list are guilty of 
making assumptive, generalizing, non-factual statements. Whether it's about Apple, 
Dell, or our teddy bear, it is NON-factual, or otherwise known as FALSE.

When you make false statements, you are lying. This is just a basic 
definition; false statements are lies.. Again, nothing personal--I'm just making some 
factual statements. And I'm simply saying DON'T DO THAT. 

This group is about Apple Powerbooks, and is intended to lend support and aid 
to those who use or own them, and for those who are considering using or 
owning them. How can we hope to help each other when the VERY BASIS we use 
(communication by words) is entirely undermined by non-factual statements and 
non-truths? You CANNOT expect lies to produce truth. It doesn't happen. You can't 
make a false statement and expect it to become truth over time.

When you make false statements about the situations, you are undermining the 
basis of this listserve, which means you are a detriment to this listserve.  
Making broad statements about issues does NOT lend aid to those considering the 
products, because they will walk away with LE

1280x1024 is normally the native resolution for 19" LCD monitors.  If it

something wrong with your VGA connection, or there is nothing wrong and
you are running into the limits of your VGA connection.  If possible,

This link takes you to a page that will allow you to report a fraud (or
suspicious activity). It walks you through the topics in order to narrow
down your specific issue: 

It took me a few moments to find it. I clicked on the services (ie. services
available to buyers and sellers) link at the top of any eBay page. When I
scrolled down the page I saw the topic Safe Harbor with a link to fraud
protection. 

Clicking on Fraud Protection took me to a page with an overview of how eBay
deals with fraud. Near the bottom of that page I found a link to a Fraud
FAQs page. 

eBay is huge. Just like any huge institution they have a lot of information
covering every aspect of their organization. It takes a while to wade
through it but it's there. I doubt that there is an quick easy way to find
anything on eBay, good or bad.

For what it's worth, I've reported questionable activity several times to
eBay. This included one seller dealing in pirated software, a seller
charging a surcharge on PayPal credit card transactions (which is against
the law), and a seller misrepresenting an iBook as a PowerBook G4 (the specs
listed were a mishmash of two models with a picture of an iBook).

In every case eBay dealt with the situation. The seller who was pirating was
removed from eBay. The surcharge was removed from the auction text and the
iBook ad was ended early by eBay.

HTH,
-Mark

I think the wallstreets need a hub to detect each other, if they don't 
find a valid network on start up then they switch off ethernet.

The alternative could be to switch both wallstreets on together 
(probably impossible).

I'm not connecting more than 2 computers at a time, otherwise I would get 
a hub.  I just want to know why the 2 Wallstreets won't talk to each 
other using the crossover cable...

I believe the 3400 Powerbook was the first to feature 'zoomed video',

BJ,

Are you sure the cable you're using is a crossover? Newer Powerbooks 
and iBooks, I believe, are able to detect the cable type and should 
negotiate the connection between your wallstreets using 
'straight-thru' OR crossover Ethernet cables. Without the iBook's 
auto-sensing the connection, you need to use a crossover cable 
directly between the wallstreets, or to use a hub, switch, or router. 
A cheap 10/100 hub would do it. The simplest way if you're just 
hooking up two computers directly is to use an Ethernet crossover 
cable. Sorry if I'm already repeating things you know here. The fact 
that the network works fine with the iBook inline tells me that your 
software settings are fine, and points to the cable as suspect.

Personally, if you have more than two machines on your network on a 
regular basis, I'd recommend getting a router.

Maybe not, the Capsure Card requires a Zoomed Video Port and I believe the

The power, no, because I had gone into the bathroom where the dryer was. It
is possible I did not think to remove the battery.

I suggested using a hair dryer. The air doesn't get hot enough to cause any harm. 
Circuit boards are soldered in ovens that get hot enough to melt solder, and 
semiconductor die safely withstand these temperatures, provided they are of short 
duration. Can you imagine what those temperatures would do to your hair?

Semiconductors are rated for continuous operation at die temperatures over 100 C, the 
boiling point of water. You won't be able to get these temperatures out of a hair 
dryer.

Be careful with industrial hot air guns, some of them get hot enough to melt solder, 
indeed they are useful for removing surface mount chips. If you want to dry the board 
quickly, bring to just over 100C (212F) with an industrial hot air gun. For the 
cognoscenti only! You will be guaranteed to have no liquid water on it. If you get it 
too hot you can start melting solder, which you don't want to do.

electricity.

Static damage only occurs when a static charge sparks to a component lead and causes a 
breakdown of an insulator, say an oxide gate on a CMOS transistor. Blowing hot air on 
a board is simply not going to this, unless you are using a hair dryer connected to a 
telsa coil that throws out sparks to your board.

The typical cause of static damage is a human walking across a carpet and drawing a 
spark from a component lead to their finger. If you are holding the board in your hand 
with skin contact to the circuitry as you dry it with a hair dryer there is no 
possibility that a charge can build up in the board relative to your body.

> why do you think most service techs ground themselves
thoroughly before handling electronics components?

A good practice indeed, unless of course the board is charged and the tech is not. 
Remember, it is the relative difference in charge that causes the spark, not the 
absolute charge. When transferring boards from person to person, touch the other 
person skin to skin before touching the board.

If two people walked across the carpet in a heated room on a dry winter day and are 
charged to the max, they can still safely pass a board to each other provided they are 
both at the same charge, which is first established by skin to skin contact.

This is why I have a hard and fast rule of no food or drink anywhere near
our computers ‹ not even in the same room. Since I don't like to eat at my
desk, it's not a problem for me; others who may be offended just have to
learn to live with it. It's not worth the risk.

Am I ever glad you brought this up. A couple of years ago I came home during
a rainstorm to find a tiny, nearly infinitesimal roof leak occurring in just
one corner of the house, just the slightest intermittent drip, drip, drip
every so often ‹ directly over the keyboard of my PowerBook. Panicked, I cut
the power, removed the battery, opened it up and carefully soaked up the
water, just barely touching the droplets to let them absorb into Q-tips and
paper towels. All seemed well, but for a bit of water in an inaccessible
corner or two, so I got out the hair dryer, set it on low and let it blow
gentle breezes from afar, thinking to dry out what little water was left.
Immediately, sizzle pop poof and an acrid smell, and my heart sank as I knew
the PB was murdered dead at my own hand. I assumed I had inadvertently
pushed some drops of water around to places they should not have been let to
make contact. It frankly never occurred to me that the hair dryer itself
could do damage. Never again!

The upside was that, the cost of repair being out of proportion to what the
thing was worth, I was forced to buy a new PowerBook. Though I could ill
afford it at the time and had to buy on credit (ugh! I hate paying
interest), immediately I fell in love with the new model and forgot my
earlier affair with the damaged goods.

generally speaking, most all water is not pure. even so, pure H20 is 
almost impossible to have -- even in more-or-less pure water, trace 
hydroxide and spare hydrogen still roam around in enough quantity to 
throw off a chemist's calculations.

the water one drinks is no where near pure, and most bottled waters, 
for instance, actually have salts and other electrolytes added to them. 
your tap water has things like fluorine, several variants of chlorine, 
and moderate amounts of various salts... ask anyone you know of who 
maintains a sizable aquarium.

it's not only about electrolytes, metals corroding, etc. impure water 
(read: virtually all water) is a fairly good conductor -- the presence 
of impure water or other conductors can short logic board components.

as you pointed out in your previous post, it's not the water, per se, 
that does the damage. and most circuitry will not be fried if not 
powered on when encountering the spill. however, if someone spills 
something in their laptop, chances are fairly high they were using it 
at the time.

i've been doing service on macs for most of a decade. for every person 
who's come to me and said "yeah, i unplugged it immediately and 
everything's ok", i've had at least a half dozen people come to me 
saying they unplugged it immediately, but now it doesn't work.


hard drives, for what it's worth, are probably the most common device 
to fail after a spill. moisture on the platters can cause data 
corruption at best, and complete failure of the media at worst. the 
metal (i don't recall offhand what they're using these days) is not 
very friendly with water.

also, you suggested that someone might use a blow dryer to dry off a 
wet circuit board. this is incorrect, and horribly bad advice. the 
added heat of the blow dryer can damage chips in the same way that 
lingering with a solder iron while soldering might -- and there's an 
added risk, too. the air flowing out of many blow dryers may have a 
slight electric charge. some chips are not tolerant of static 
electricity. strike that. MOST chips are not tolerant of static 
electricity. why do you think most service techs ground themselves

Re: Re Spill damage.

[Mark_PHILIP]

Also, when you get your machine back, take it apart yourself and try to dry
it out. It may work again.
I had the same experience with a PowerBook 1400 some years ago when it was
left out in the rain overnight. Managed to take it apart and dry it out. It
worked fine after that. Water damage can typically be fixed unless severe
corrosion has taken place. Believe what the tech says, but also try and
check it out yourself before spending that dough on a new logic board. You
may just be able to get it working again!

All the best. Let us know how it turns out.

Regards,
Mark.

   The only components I can think of that are susceptible to water

are speakers, if they have paper cones, and I doubt that any laptop
speakers have paper cones.
   Battery packs might be susceptible because they are
ultrasonically
welded together and it might be hard to get water out if it is submerged
for time. Also electrolysis as batteries would invariably be charged.
But easy to test ok/not ok.

   BTW, pure water is not an eletrolyte. Beer is only a mild
eletroloyte.

   What components in the iBook were damaged by the water? Did they

try to clean? Were they shown to be damaged or was that just the tech
say so?

Any operating system using virtual memory would certainly gain from more
memory. Even if you were still running Mac OS 9 without virtual memory, you
would gain in being able to open more applications or give them more
allocated memory so that they would be able to manage larger documents.

The issue is that if you put the computer to sleep (which you have to do if
you need to swap batteries while *NOT* running on AC power), then the
rechargeable backup battery that keeps the PRAM content will keep the
content of RAM while you swap batteries. If you have more than 512 MB, from
what I've read, then the backup battery doesn't have enough power to
maintain the content of RAM, thus you loose everything in RAM and has to
reboot. That could be particularly bitter if you squeeze all the juice in
the battery until the computer forces a sleep to maintain the content of
RAM. In such situation, if no AC power is available, you would not be able
to wake up the computer to save any opened document and do a clean shutdown.
If you know in advance that this is never going to happen to you, then more
memory certainly doesn't hurt!

Re: *Re: Memory

[John Beringer]

Hmmm, 
This makes me wonder whether they'd be any benefit to equiping our pb 333
(bronze) with more than its spec 384MB or RAM. Anyone have any feelings on
this?

The WallStreet sleep issue involved not waking from sleep because of a 
magnet in the IBM (IIRC) drive tripping the reed switch in the 'book 
casing. You couldn't wake the 'book at all.
According to my WallStreet user's manual you had to press a key to wake 
the book, as I remembered.

Re: Re(2): irez capture card

[Thomas Bier]

I sold mine a few weeks ago as I switched to an iBook.  I had it working in
9.2.2 with no problems at all.

Re: re-awakening a Pismo?

[Seth]

Glad to help. It seems like the dumbest thing to keep a multiprocessing
extension enabled on a laptop with only one processor. But that's just the
thing that will make your computer go wacky and have you running frantically
for Applecare.

I found the article at the Apple Knowledge Base. Check out:

Article 25048: "Mac OS: Do Not Remove Multiprocessing Folder"
Article 30808: "iMac Discussion Board: Frequently Asked Questions (1 of
2)"

Just says not to remove it but no explanation why or what it does. Closed
source software can be really evil.

Make sure you have both the "Multiprocessing" folder with the "Apple CPU
Plugin" in your Extensions folder. I removed that extension one time from my
graphite toilet seat, oops! I meant to say iBook and it would go to sleep
and never wake up without me restarting. It took me two weeks to figure it
out, I thought there was something wrong with the logic board but no, it was
just the extension. Replaced it and it was fine again. There was an Apple

When mine did that I had a bad power management unit. Since Apple 
replaced it I haven't had any problems.
