[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Got my pc card working After writing that last message, I didn't want to put any questions at the end because nobody would get that far before falling asleep. So, for you ex-spurts; On my home network I installed a program on my desktop Mac called MacSoho. This lets it act like a windows pc on the Win95 Network neighborhood. When I use my libretto to copy files over, a 25 MB file will go across in about 10 minutes. When I use my Mac to copy files over (same direction), it takes about 1 minute. What gives? 10 base with one machine, and 100base using the other? John Well theoretically, with a 10Mb link the best you could transmit a 25MB file would be on the order of 25 seconds...assuming nothing else is on the network at the same time. With 100Mb, two to three seconds. But... If you have a mixed network, 10/100Mb, then the hub has to do buffering and translation. It probably doesn't have a huge amount of memory so the whole thing drops to the slowest speed - or a lot of packets get dropped and have to be retransmitted (or both). Plus you have more than the two machines on the network, so bandwidth is being shared...60% utility on a network is considered *full* - the point at which resend messages exceed actual data. But I'd guess the overall slowdown is how fast the processors can serve up and pack away the data, plus the network neighbourhood translation stuff. Seems a little slow overall though - perhaps the tracking weight on the the block round thing is not quite right?

But wouldn't whatever is going to create more light, also consume more power? Here is a description of the man/machine screen mod that I obtained from them. I don't see anything here that would increase power usage, and they are specifically not talking about a brighter backlight. Thank you for contacting Man Machine, Inc. We can provide enhancements to your Toshiba Libretto that will make it more usable outdoors. We apply a combination of brightness enhancement films inside the LCD to make the display brighter, and we add a anti-glare/anti-reflective film over the front surface to cut down on the display being "washed-out" by sunlight. The combination of these enhancements for the Libretto 100 CT is $199, and usually take approximately 3 to 5 business days to install once we receive the unit. Lee A.
