AirPort slot problems?
I have a 1Ghz eMac and a Dual 1,42GHz FW800 PowerMac G4, both bought used and without AirPort card. I needed Wifi on the eMac and I bought what I think is the correct AirPort vía eBay. When it arrived I put it on the eMac but it did not recognize it. I tried on the PowerMac (loaned to a friend) and, again, no luck. The seller was kind enough to send me another card in exchange for mine and when he received it he acknowledged it didn`t work. I tried the new card and had the same problem. I contacted the seller and he assured me the card was working when he send it to me, telling me maybe my computers had some kind of electrical probelm which was damaging the cards. They came very well packaged and doesn`t looks like they suffered any damage in transit. So, is there any possibility a damaged AirPort slot can damage a card? Also, is there anyway to test the AirPort slot to know if it is working. I guess the problem may be on the eMac since in both cases I tried the card on it first. Thanks!

Re: Can someone reccomend a decent, reliable, robust USB hub...
I ordered one of these: Satechi 12 Port USB Hub with Power Adapter 2 Control Switches from Amazon because someone (David Pogue? Randy Singer? I know you should never drop names -- Paul McCartney told me that.) I haven't received it yet, but it looks good. You can google for some reviews. It is $29.95, but you didn't ask for a pos, you asked for a decent, reliable, robust USB hub. Hope this helps.

35 pass erase
Part of this needs to invoke the 1 step removed rule, but partly it is a general question as well. I have purchased my first intel, a MacPro 3.1 on eBay. There has been some delay in the shipping because the origional owner wanted to be sure of security, and ran a 35 pass erase on both HDDs, from the leopard install disk. One drive is the origional and the other is a 1TB. My understanding is that this writes 0s then 1s alternately to every drive sector for 35 passes. As this is way more than years of normal ussage would do, what can I expect for drive life out of these things. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

After you enable screen spanning you probably won't want to disable the internal display because you'll have two separate displays which is incredibly useful to most people.
