I keep trying out other CD-RW drives as well - invariably they are USB drives but I keep going back to my HP M820e because the USB drives are either slower or not any faster, they also seem to be much more expensive, heavier and kind of clunkier to boot. The M820e is foolproof (I've never had a bad write using it in W2K on my L110!) , doesn't require an external power supply, it's lightweight and very small and the HP version looks cool..#8~} These and the Ricoh versions sell for $75-$100 on eBay with an occasional new one popping up for $140-$150, half.com has them for about the same price with new ones going for up to $200 or more.

BTW - I have a DiskOnKey 512mb pen drive that I use now instead of a floppy - handiest device of the last few years! I can put huge files on it and make a quick and easy transfer back and forth from the L110 to my desktop and vice-versa.

[LIB] Power Xtender adapter cable
Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2003 14:00:56 -0800 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Power Xtender adapter cable I've got a chance to get a Power Xtender air/auto power adapter for a good price but it's for the Libby L50/L70 and I need the adapter cable for an L110. Upon checking the website for the appropriate cable I see that they are pretty expensive (much more than I'm paying for the power unit!). Perchance does anyone on the list need the L70 adapter cable in trade for the L100/L110 cable - I know it's a long shot but it doesn't hurt to ask?

I do keep up with tech stuff though and found out about the Long Beach project in November when I was in Southern CA on a biz/grandson trip! I followed what they were doing right up to the grand unveiling of their wireless system this week. Pretty exciting stuff - I wish our city fathers had that much vision! Local government is footing the bill for the Long Beach project but it sounds like they have some good partnerships with local tech companies and businesses who will benefit but as it spreads to the rest of Long Beach there will be costs to the local taxpayers. However, this would be offset by free access to the internet. I think the whole idea is great in that it gives the chance for all the citizens there to have web access with all of the possibilities that will bring, culturally, economically and socially!

All very good questions Lee! Unfortunately the answers are only as good as each individual case of a wireless installation representing a result. That said - you would need a wireless base station to go along with your desktop PCI and laptop PC cards, i.e., a wireless access point if you already have a router or a wireless router if you don't. The wireless installation will only give you the up/down load speeds already available to your web signal upload/download - be it cablspeed, DSL, dialup, etc. I must say though that I haven't run across anyone using or anything written about wireless applications using dialup bandwidth for the input/output signal. In keeping with that situation let me urge you to investigate (if it is available to you to begin with) the local cable access packages to see what they do offer. Often they offer at least two levels of service (mine offers 4 different packages) with the "residential" service being 5 to 6 times faster than 56K (which never comes close to that speed anyway) for $5-10 more a month than a local dialup ISP. If you can get cablespeed at any level, do it - it will change your life!! My cablespeed gives me 1400-1600 kps download and 250 kps upload speeds! In any case, if you are confined strictly to dialup service wireless is convenient enough to let you communicate with other computers in the area without having to hardwire the entire area. Range - it gets really location specific on this question. I have used my Libretto in airports, internet cafes and big city hotels for a year now and I have been able access a signal from 500 feet away (line of sight) at times. More realistically though, my neighbor brings his laptop over here sometimes and he can access his wireless cable router with a good signal from 200 feet away through 4 wooden, insulated walls (and my low roof overhang) - his transmitter is on his second floor however, the lower the transmitter the worse the transmission, antenna placement is everything. I have also put his laptop out in my guest house which is about 90 feet away through 6 uninsulated (but 4 inch thick) wooden walls and gotten a good signal. Concrete walls and basement transmitter placements are the real signal killers as is the foil backing of the insulation in your walls. BUT, I think you could expect a good enough signal at least at 60 feet in your own home.

Not to complicate the bargain price for the D-Link DWL-650 card at Buy.com BUT read up on this card at amazon.com first. I looked at this one as well and sounds like it has some problems for many users. After reading the posts from the listers and continuing my own research yesterday I bought a Siemens SS2624 wireless router (Cnet gave it a top rating with especially high range and connectivity stability marks, good reviews at the amazon site as well) for $32.29 at officedepot.com after $25 coupon discount from techbargains.com and $30 rebate from Siemens. You MUST link from the techbargains.com site to get the $25 coupon immediate discount at the officedepot.com site! It's on the techbargains.com site under yesterdays date and is still good, I just checked it again this morning. I also bought the Orinoco gold card on eBay for $30 (again good user comments at various review sites and recommendations from listers) and I'll just buy a PCI card for my desktop when a good deal comes up in the future (although they seem to be pretty much all the same and they are pretty cheap to begin with!).

[LIB] Wireless yada-yada
Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2003 17:51:28 -0800 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Wireless yada-yada I'm not remembering if we have had this discussion before BUT in case we haven't I'd like some input from the Librettati about wireless hardware. I have occasion to use my L110 (W2Kos) wired with my desktop at times but I use the Libby all the time when I travel and use it wireless in hotels and airports. I've been using an 11mps D-Link card in the Libby but it doesn't seem to have much range (it's an Air DWL-650) or speed. I'm tired of the wire tangle on my desk at home and want to go completely wireless both away from and at home. I'm confused thoughI've read up on and looked at many different brands, prices, etc of wireless hardware but there seems to be conflicting info about everything. Some things don't work with Toshiba laptops, some things don't work with mixed brand setups, .a wireless vs. .b wireless, 11mps vs. 22mps and so on. What have the listers used and what is a good combo taking into account durability (for a traveling PC card an important quality?), price, utility and ease of use, brand interopterability, speeds (11mps vs. 22mps), range, etc. I need a wireless router, a PC card and a PCI card (how about the advantages, if any, of a PCI adapter to use the PC card in the desktop instead of a PCI card with the antenna?) and anything else that may be necessary/useful. Mix and match is fine with me or is all the same brand the way to go? I just know some of you out there have the killer setup - share it with us!

[LIB] European Canon camera accessories
Date: Tue, 07 Jan 2003 02:12:18 -0800 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: European Canon camera accessories I have many uses for my L110 when I travel. One use is that I use it to store digital pictures from my Canon S110 ELPH camera which goes everywhere with me. In Europe this line of Canon cameras is known as the IXUS V2 and V3 models (S100,S110, S200, S230 cameras in the US). There are two really neat Canon hard cases for these cameras that are only available in Europe - a metal exterior/velvet interior case and the same case in a black rubber covered version. I would love to have a couple of each of them but a search on the net turns up no outlet to buy them and the European auction advertisers won't ship to the US. Is there anybody on the list that might be able to help me obtain them? They seem to be the most common in Germany but may be available anywhere in Europe - I don't know for sure. I would be glad to return the favor for someone looking for US items that they can't get otherwise if someone could hook me up with an outlet for them. Email me offlist for further discussion.

I was running Win2K before that but I recently went to XP Pro on my desktop upon doing a major hardware upgrade. I'm finding XP Pro to be incredibly stable and easy to use on both computers. Like Richard the only criticism I have of XP on the Libretto is the slow boot but if I can't find a tweak to use on this issue it won't be all the big of a deal as the tradeoff is far to the positive side of the OS scale. In the evolution of the upgrade of my desktop I first thought I would use XP Home before realizing that I would need the Pro version. As a result I have a new, sealed box, full XP Home - 2002 edition if anybody is interested in it. I'll take a loss on it and ship it at buyers cost to boot - email me off-list. In retrospect, it probably would have run better on the Libby than the Pro version I wound up using.

There are no 16 bit USB cards for the L70 and lower. The result of my quest was that I upgraded to an L110.

[LIB] Re: [lib] potential replacement - JVC!
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2002 11:17:59 -0700 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [lib] potential replacement - JVC! I've been following this Libretto replacement thread with interest. I had occasion to make a trip to Japan recently and got a chance to look at (and try out) all of the recent small laptops. Being a gearhead I'm always on the lookout for the new big thing(!) but I am also in my curmudgeonly way of the mind that if it ain't a lot better, why bother? So, my report is - none of the new notebooks have much over the L110. One is a smidge lighter, one is a smidge smaller, etc. They do have bigger HD's and more RAM but I run my L110 with Win2K and the standard memory and hard drive and even though I use it just like a desktop (word processing, internet surfing, email, etc.) I don't find that I am ever lacking resources. Along with a modem card, a very light CD-RW and a lightweight external hard drive one can cover just about anything that the new cuties can (and they need the externals as well anyway), so why spend the $ to essentially stay in place? I dunno, what do you all think? I recently found a very helpful site for checking out the reps of the multitude of online computer/peripherals sellers..http://www.resellerratings.com/ They list 450+ some such sellers with user remarks and a handy scoring system.

Rather than roll it up to pack I leave it flat in the middle somewhere of my bag and let it conform to whatever else goes in or I slide it unrolled into the edge of the bag along where it zips up as the final packing act. As for chewing up batteries I almost always find an outlet to plug the AC adapter into or use a Power Xtender in the car, plane, etc. I guess I don't wind up in frontier areas often where there is no power available! After spoofing about the membraneous fullsize LCD I started thinking - why not a pair of monitor glasses (like those TV glasses from a few years ago?). I'm one of the lucky ones - I can read anything, anywhere, anytime under any circumstances (except underwater I suppose) and the same goes for sleeping - I get off 7-10 hour international flights rested and ready to go, much to the chagrin of my companions! Raymond, you are picky but I love that, so am I!

It seems like an awful lot of work to fabricate what's already there?! Get a small traveling optical mouse and a foldable membrane keyboard (which for my money has better "feel" and less "rattle" than the PDA units, is cheaper and packs easier with less space as well) or get a PMCIA card USB hub and use USB accessories - an even cleaner, less bulky setup. This all works well in my L110 with Win2K. I'm just waiting for the foldable membrane 15" LCD draped over my knee to add to all of this.#8~} Chester ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

It is endemic world-wide (TrendMicro says it has infected 7 1/2% of computers WW!) and I've had 24 attempts at delivering it to me in the last 3 days (thank gawd for postini, I go look at them at my ISP site and then delete them). It does spoof email addresses as well as mixing them up to further disguise and confuse the recipient. It will also open the attachment without giving you a chance to say no to the download. It will forward your files randomly to other recipients. Pretty insidious stuff - all those Chinese schoolboys must be bored this spring vacation!?

My reading of eBay is that L70's/100's and 110's are selling for about 20% to 30% more in the US than the prices I'm seeing quoted here on the Libby list...in fact, clean L110's with any accessories at all are going for $600 to $700 - crapped out ones aren't of course! Hell, a 110CT with a bad screen recently sold for almost $400 on eBay and all it had was the original FDD and I/O port - it didn't even have a hard copy manual! My real question though is.what's with all the stickers I see all over Puget Sound area Libretto's? Were they once owned by Skate-heads? #8~} Chester ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

After seeing this post about timing shutdown of Win2K on a L100 I ran the same timings on my L110 with Win2K as was done above with Win98 & Win2K. I found that my unit (with the original 4.3G HD and 64mb memory) was up and running in 1:25 seconds and shut down in 15 seconds! I have only had the L110 for a few weeks and am familiar with the Win2K OS from using it on my desktop but I don't see a lot of difference in its speed and facility on the Libretto. Someone mentioned some sites where one can find info about trimming the Win2K OS (and I would like to know more about this) but I can't imagine that it would work that much more efficiently in doing so? Why would 64mb's of memory work with Win2K more effectively in a L110 than a L100 - the smaller HD shouldn't have much of an influence at least for booting up - or does it?

I wouldn't mind having one myself. Isn't there a way to look at this Yahoo auction page in english? It also appears that these are available from amazon.com Japan as well.

Of the 4 that sold with a CD-ROM drive (from $650 to $805) the average sale was $715 with the one with a 24x unit selling at the highest value. One other unit sold for $495 with no drive accessories and lacking the manual, disks, etc. AND with questionable specs as to what it really was (they listed specs for a L100). A last unit sold for $272 with a cracked LCD and no I/O dock, manual, etc. None of the units had a SCSI CD-ROM drive which I would think would add quite a bit more value than a regular drive. In the 30 days prior to this last month units with no other accessories other than the original items a 110CT came with sold for $610 to $650 with one unit selling at $530...I bought this last one and feel I got an excellent deal for a clean, low use unit with Win2K installed. I have to stick with my original assessmentI think Adrian will get $850 for his Libretto, we should form an office pool...any takers?

I just got one on eBay for $530USD. I've been playing with it - it has Win2K which I can tell you already is light years ahead of the Win95 on my L70 and the Win98SE that was on my desktop (I recently upgrade this to Win2K as well). The L110 is only very slightly bigger and heavier (.3 oz) than my L70 as well. As for the coat pocket questionthat depends on how big your coat pocket is! #8~} BTW - my L70 is now for saleit has very, very few hours of use and is mint with everything as original (including a hard copy of the manual and ALL of the diskettes). It is also the last version of the L70 with maker loaded 32 mb's of RAM and the 2.1 HD, not the usual 1.6! Email me if interested.

I put in a snipe bid on it with 10 seconds to go and just topped the next high bidder. Now what I have to do is decide which way I'm going to go for USB port enhancement - get one of those ugly little USB HUB port add-ons with a heavy power supply OR the more elegant (and more expensive of course) PMCIA card with 4 USB ports and another heavy power supply.this option will allow me to retain the one USB port in the port replicator but, of course, takes up a card slot! Anybody have any ideas on this, what is anybody else using for multiple USB devices, mouse, keyboard, external HD's and CD drives, etc.? The card uses the new 2.0 USB standard but I don't have anything that requires this anyway. Jon, thanks for your input on the Win2K OS - yes, the new L110 does have the 64 meg RAM. As for Win98 - along with the "BSD"s I really hated the constant "warning" blaming me for doing something "illegal" and then shutting down my browser and email windows (as well as any email replies I happened to be working on). I kind of got the idea that this was MS's way of not taking the blame for not being able to perform a task that it was unknowing or tired of?!

[LIB] A couple of questions....
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 23:29:36 -0800 From: Chester Prudhomme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: A couple of questions I bought a nice L110CT off eBay a couple of days ago. I got an approval period on it to make sure it is alright. The young fellow I got it from just lives in Seattle, an hour and half away so I will go pick it up in person. In the meantime he is asking me if I want Win2K Pro installed on it (which he has been using) or Win2K Server (? - I don't know what this is?) or Win 98. What will work best on this Libretto - I use Win2K on my desktop PC and like it but how will it fare on the L110? Any advice or recommendations are appreciated. I upgraded to the L110 from my L70 because I wanted the USB capability to run an external harddrive and other USB devices with a 4 USB port PMCIA card or 4 port AC powered HUB.

It appears that the L110 will support cardbus and I can have a replicator with USB as well as 2 more PCMIA slots. I should be able to plug the Orange Micro 2.0 USB card into the replicator and still have room for other PMCIA devices and USB aplenty for a mouse, a keyboard and my external hard drive. So.it looks like I am in the market for an L110. I take it eBay is the place to look unless someone here has one for sale? I took a look at the Fujitsu P series and the Sony notebooks but I still like the Librettos. Heck, I figure in another year they will have foldup LCD monitors to carry on the road as well. And there is room in the L110 for more memory and and a bigger hard drive at some point. An external CD-RW would be nice too.

Does the L110 have the 32 bit PCI bus? Will the PMCIA slot support cardbus? How about the slots on the L110 port replicator? As predicted (and as I thought), the Orange Micro PMCIA 2.0 USB card won't work with my L70 so I'm thinking of upgrading to the L110 if it will support such a unit although if my external hard drive case will accept a serial or PMCIA card cable I might just stick with the L70. Failing all of this, what's a good alternative in the very lightweight laptop field that will support multiple USB devices?
