Re: Can I add IR to my Quicksilver?

[Kevin Barth]

Trying this again.  My first attempt got rejected for excessive quoting...

Thanks, everybody, for your suggestions!  I think Jeffrey's device is
exactly what I'm looking for.

Re: Blue and White G4?

[PM7500]

I know that's true for aftermarket G4 upgrades, but I don't think it
is for the Yikes! CPU. The Yikes! uses exactly the same motherboard
only without an ADB port so there's no logical reason why the bus
speed should be affected.

Multiple address books possible?

[Bruce Johnson]

Is there any way to have more than one Address book per user?

One of our people has synched her address book and iCal with her boss to manage 
it, but she needs one for her own addresses. I've looked around and there's 
lots of stuff about sharing address books with multiple people, but nothing 
about one person having multiple address books.

That doesn't sound likely.

Just to be sure about what we are dealing with here, did you do a "Get

And, I believe, that's only for the higher speed CPU's. (Possibly the HS G3's)
I have 2 B&W machines upgraded with G4/450's (ZIF socket)  and they were decent 
machines.

 Yes the get info says. The drive format is Windows NTFS. All I did  
was plug it into the MBP with Snow Leopard and it writes. After  
installing the driver on the PPCs it now will write on them also.

Re: battery charging problem on powerbook g4

[Richard Gerome]

   I had the same problem with my Titanium Powerbook too, it's the 3rd party 
battery doesn't fit quite the same as the original battery... I put a few 
pieces of tape on the opposite side from where the contacts and latch are or 
the side where the 2 plastic lock pins are so it would hold it in tighter, add 
one piece of tape at a time till it stops doing it... I hope this works for you 
like it did for me???

Boot from your Leopard install DVD and use the change password utility to 
change both passwords, then exit the DVD and reboot normally.

It's as easy as that.

And in a week she'll come crying to me that somehow one address book got 
synched over the other or they're both melded now. This is for the Dean of the 
College, he has a HUGE address book.

Looks like she'll be using Thunderbird.

Thunderbird was what I was going to recommend. It will let you keep 
multiple independent users and address books. I'm using the Eudora beta 
8.0b9 in 10.6.3, which is built on Thunderbird 3.0.1, and it's pretty 
darned stable.

How much time does she spend with each address book? Are the times

A kludge, but it might work. Set up a separate user named Deans  
Address Book and use Fast User switching to switch between them. The  
speed is bearable on my dual 533 G4, and I am sure she is running  
something faster.


Just a thought.

For you or I that'd work just fine...for her...well, it's going to be a LOT 
easier to just use Tbird. She's still in the throes of converting to a Mac and 
this sort of stuff will just put up more barriers.

She's figured out that she can have separate iCal calendars, but she's used to 
TBird already on the PC, and all in all, I think I've been convinced to go that 
route...
