Re: apple
I agree, Drew, and not just because I'm The Winfidel(;^{)). Apple
determines who their vendors are, not the end user. It may not be Apple's
FAULT, but it is their RESPONSIBILITY to take care of it. It would be a
different story if the end user was picking and choosing the components, but
they aren't. The disappointing thing is that so many people attest that
Apple denied or abdicated their responsibility for the video chip failure,
much as they did with the 5300's and their well documented problems.

But other than that, the 5300 is a terrible example. The reason Apple kept
repairing them is _because_ they were so shoddy. IIRC, class action
lawsuit against Apple required them to support the 5300 for as long as they
did. Technically, California law held them to supporting the 5300 for 7
years from the last date of manufacture (which ended just this summer).
The REA was not a result of Apple being a good corporate citizen. It was
because they really screwed up the 5300 and were forced to fix them.
SNIP
My feelings are that if Apple released a machine with poor quality due to
poor QA (even if it's not an Apple part that failed - and then what _would_
count as an Apple part? Virtually every ASIC on the board is designed by a
3rd party - very little is Apple custom. And NONE of it was fabbed by
Apple.), then Apple should have to pay the piper. Apple sells the box,
Apple supports the box, Apple should FIX the box.
Peace,
Drew

Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box
FileMaker Pro also works very well for transfering data cross platform. Need the program on both computers. Once transfered, FileMaker Pro has many forms the data can be exported in to a number of programs. Years of data, going back to 1976 for a 15+ school school district was all on Macs. The district decided to buy IBM clones. All files were imported into FileMake Pro and then transfered to the IBM clones - Gateway and Dell. All data was preserved and transfered without problem. FileMaker Pro has been useful to import data from programs such as Aeries and California state testing data in ASCII fixed format opened with Excel import nicely into FileMaker Pro, a much more flexible program than Aeries, allowing for extensive longitudinal data comparison. I don't work for FileMaker Pro but I couldn't meet ever changing State and Federal regulations and reports without it. Microsoft Word seems to work cross platform well enough for text if you use the correct versions. These cross platform transferes have made via email, 3.5 in. diskettes and CDs both ways. - Original Message - From: Mr Cranky [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PowerBooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 11:30 PM Subject: Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box I don't know about Dramatica, but you shouldn't have any trouble with Final Draft.

Re: Getting data between the mac and windows box - Part II
My original problem was (and still is) I was trying to upgrade to 8.6 which is available free but y windows machine is the one that is connected to the internet, the Mac is not or I would just use it to download the files I need to upgrade and would email the Final Draft/Dramatica files back and forth to myself. The reason I want to do it this way is cost. I can use the system as is for everything I want and don't want to spend so much on things that I'm halfway to a new system in costs.

Re: PowerBooks 1400
Hi, You can definitely add a CD-ROM module into the expansion bay, these are available on eBay for 30-80 dollars, depending on the speed. I would pay no more than $35 for a 6X, no more than $50 for an 8X, and no more than $70 for a 12X. I managed to get a 12X for $33, but that's pretty durn lucky. I don't know which pool games off the top of my head are likely candidates, but I would look at the games here: http://www.pure-mac.com/sports.html ...there are a couple of pool games, maybe one of them is the one.

Re: PowerBooks 1400
You might try going to the System Folder open it and go to the Preference Folder Find the preference file for the pool game and drag only that preference file to the trash. Sometimes this starts the game over like you have never played it before. It may work or it may not.

Tale of Woe: CF card, VM, 1400c
Well, As per the instructions on the Low End Mac website, I tried to make a Compact Flash card work with my Powerbook 1400c. The goal was to take a 256 meg compact flash card, use a PCMCIA compact flash adapter, and format it as a Mac drive...then map Virtual Memory to it and get a machine that had to access the hard drive less. Anyhow, it's not working. The CF card went into the PCMCIA adapter and was formatted and recognized. I can drag files to it and from it without a problem. But when I go to the memory control panel and select it as the destination for the Virtual Memory swap file and reboot...VM is still hanging around on the hard disk. Suggestions? Can VM not be mapped away from the startup drive? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
