MacGroup: Re: hot! iBook hard drive
Hi Alex! You might check your energy saver control panel and look at Options (next to Sleep). Check Processor Performance to see that it is set to Automatic and not to Highest. It will indeed run hot if that setting is Highest. Hope this helps! See ya...Ken Presley Yup, Ken, it is set to automatic and always has been, as far as I can tell. Don't know what else to check.

MacGroup: hot! iBook hard drive

I'll disable it today and see if that makes a difference. Restart your ibook and see if it cools any. Will do. I really don't mind this too much in the winter time. Yes, it's a nice lapwarmer in the winter but rather beastly when it's 98F outside. ;-] Thanks! Alex | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be August 25.

MacGroup: Hell froze over again! (and More)
Every OS X already has two mouse buttons, click and ctrl-click. Apple are just finally accepting that it's simpler to put the ctrl on the mouse and not the keyboard if you're going to argue that a mouse is a necessary device. Then again, was that just a feature that turned up in OS X as a precursor to 2-button mice? Any idea if they'll be releasing a laptop with 2-buttons? I'd ruled out another powerbook for the simple reason that even if I get an intel powerbook that can run windows, linux and os x, it'd be crippled in windows (and painful in linux) without the 2nd mouse button. Now if only they would put the scroll wheel on the laptop too :) Hen On 8/2/05, Jerry Yeager jerry at browseryshop.com wrote: Hmm, well it can be programmed to act as a one button mouse if you want. It could be useful for those converting from being windroids to being Mac users that for strange reason think you just gotta have multi-button meeces roaming around the desktop to get work done. I wonder if Apple will release this in a wireless bluetooth version ... Apple has also announced that the number of widgets available out there for Dashboard has passed 1000. What is everyone's favorite widget? (Yup, Panther users can answer if they have any favorites, remember you can visit Yahoo! and download and install the now-free but formerly cost-bucks Konfabulator or use one of the other shareware apps that let you run nice widgets with Panther.)

In fact, I have been able to accomplish everything I have needed to do with the single button mouse that came with the Mac. It has only been in the last few months that I began using a multi-button mouse, and only then because it came with the Mac I bought. And you know what? I've never been held back because my mouse only had one button. I've never been late for a deadline because I didn't have a scroll wheel. I've never left a project unfinished because I didn't have a right-click button. And I have never found myself in a cranial/rectal dilemma because Apple never found it necessary to move to a multi-button pointing device. My response to the announcement?

Scroll wheel on laptop (was RE: MacGroup: Hell froze over again! (and More))
Now if only they would put the scroll wheel on the laptop too :) Haven't seen it on Apple products but my HP laptop has a mousepad where a narrow strip on the right is in fact a scroll strip. If you slide your finger vertically along the right-hand edge of the mousepad it scrolls the window just like a scroll wheel would. Works fairly well. I think it's a third-party manufacturer, not HP, so Apple could license the technology for their laptops. --- Rex. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be August 25.

MacGroup: web hosting
I use Powweb, which offers single-plan hosting and has had excellent uptime and has enough features to be usable all the way into e-commerce. Support has generally been very good on the few occasions I've needed it. Cost is $7.77/month, paid in one- or two-year installments, with additional months as signup bonus. I have a referral link at http://louisvillecats.bericb.com at the bottom of the page. They'll handle domain registration for you cheaply if you need it. Full disclosure - I get a referral bonus if you sign up through that link.

What you want to use is Sidetrack. www.ragingmenace.com/software/sidetrack/ I have been using it for a couple of years now on PowerBooks works great. You can tap on a corner to get your right click or make other corners do a shortcut. Great piece of software. You can sit what side of your track pad you want to scroll vertical and horizontal.

Dear Ones, This morning when I got up, Mozilla wouldn't show any text in the mail body window, so I turned it off, then on. Now, all my folders and preferences are gone. I am the correct user, albeit with a tabula rasa. Can I get my old folders, filters, etc. back? The address book and bookmarks seem fine.

MacGroup: wireless help
Hi Tom, It should be idiot proof and fairly automatic . . . provided that you have your computers at home configured to use DHCP, which I highly suspect you don't! Your router by default is configured to be a DHCP server. I suspect you have your Mac(s) configured using static IP addresses with the same one being given to two computers, hence the error you received. Set your computers to use DHCP as well and things should work as expected.
