Re: [OT] G4 goes West
My guess as to the americanized meaning of gone west is from the colonial days. Actually had 2 connotations. First connotation was that to the west (unexplored areas) was a land of opportunity. Head west young man meant, go and seek your fortune. Due to the same usage it also had a negative connotation. Since a young man heading west would most likely never been seen again by his family, the family left behind in the east when asked what happened to that son of yours would reply.. Hes gone west. Implying never to be seen again, current fate unknown, but still with implicit hope for the success of the missing family member. Read somewhere that much ealier going west was equated with death and dying. Gone south has a few things adding to it's negative connotations. During the civil war, anything in the south (by the north) was viewed as being a bad thing. Northerners who believed in the views of the south and must be of lower intelligence. There is also a theory (that I also read somewhere I can't remember) that it has to do with General Sherman headig south to the burning of Atlanta. In addition, outlaws trying to escape justice would head towards mexico, they also went south Then add on to this that maps show north as up south as down, up being equated with more, down with less.. (look at stock charts. Up is good, down is bad) and you get quite a lot of weight in the south is bad' bag of tricks.

Richmond, nice frankensteining! did you scream its alive when you turned the power back on? you might want to think about grabbing a little temperature probe. you can get these for less than $10 these days and they usually fit in a bay cover space and have an in-line drive vampire plug for power. you can then put the probe in different areas to monitor the temp. some even have an alarm. i found these really useful on one exhibit installation where some of the cabinets i had gear in would have some equipment shutdowns (mainly mpeg players) turned out to be cabinet specific. even though the cabinet had a fan when closed there turned out to be a really large temp differential in the closed beast. was able to determine this by some testing with the probe in different places. then some rearrangement of components and fan location solved everything! bought a probe then for each cabinet and put the probe next to the most sensitive piece of gear and set the alarm just below failure temp. worked like a charm! even though the g4 is cooler now, you never know when it might suck up a big cat hair ball and start overheating again! cheers jeff On Jul 9, 2010, at 11:20 AM, use-revolution-requ...@lists.runrev.com wrote: Umwhiles I promised I would post pictures of my PPC Mac's triple-bypass.

Re: [OT] G4 goes West
Bob, that also happened to zip disks... it was called the click of death... I experienced that while backing up a G3 while its hard drive was failing and I was desperatelly copying the data, I could copy maybe 3 or 4 disks before I heard the click... what a horrible sound... CLICK, B, CLICK, BR, CLICK... one less zip disk. The hard drive finished failing. I had 4 backup disks and no zip drive to use them anymore.

Re: [OT] G4 goes West
Richmond, I'm sure you'll be happy to know that my Centris 650 hasn't gone west. A couple of days ago it wouldn't start, and oddly I thought the LaserWriter Select 300 had sailed off into the sunset with it. After while I was able to determine that I could only start one, not both at the same time. Having measured anywhere between 190 and 260 volts out of the wall sockets in the past I figured I'd just leave it a day. Today, they both started and behaved as they've always. Of course I haven't attempted to make the Centris run OS X, 7.6.1 is just fine. Some day I should get the IIci out and see if still runs.

Re: [OT] G4 goes West
Back from the dead (or very nearly): Well: I removed one of the hard disks in the G4 MDD from the cage that sits over the heat sink; allowing me space to install an 80 mm 12 v fan directly on top of the heat sink with those funny rubber doodahs to keep it in place: power drawn from the HD cage supply. Took out my antiquated SCSI PCI card (saved it for the day when I need what is saved on my ZIP disks) and inserted a USB2 card. Put 2 PCI slot cooler fans back to back in 2 of the 3 PCI slots between the Video card and the USB2 card; jacked them into the power supply for the other 2 hard disks. Unscrewed the internal speaker from the 'hole' at the top front of the MDD and taped it with electrical tape to the top of the DVD drive housing; left the plastic grid on the hole: now acts as an air intake. However; spent yesterday trawling round all the computer shops in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in search of PCI slot fans: in 8 shops I was told: 1. They don't exist (one chap actually told me I was fantasizing). 2. Why would you need them anyway. I then printed out a picture of a PCI slot fan and went round all the shops again; the 'fantasy' man told me I was mad and had faked up the picture ! Eventually saw a hole in the wall repair shop; went in and the chap there was on the phone to a warehouse in Sofia lickety-split; and I collected the 2 fans this morning. Went round to see the 'fantasy' man and waved the PCI slot cards under his nose . . . :) And the moral of my story is: don't try to be clever with computers in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I took a few photos and will post them on my website in the next few days.

Re: [OT] G4 goes West
Richmond - you might consider copying your old ZIP disks to someplace safer as soon as possible - they seem to have some kind of 'disk rot' and can die quickly in a few years. Remember zips are still 'floppy disks' with higher density and the failed 'Bernoulli' technology. All of your old zips will fit in a tiny corner of your current hard drive. There's not much between your archive and the 'ping of death' (zip drive users know what I mean). iOmega has made a lot of junk using this bernoulli technology and it was so unreliable across their product line over that I refuse to buy anything with iOmega in the name, even today. I bought into the format big time, so desperate I was for storage. Fortunately for me it all went to Hard Drive in 1999 and I haven't looked at it since! I remember when Solid State Logic (maker of over-rated professional audio consoles) finally offered a 'hard drive' for their console series in 1994. SSL for years had relied on a very ancient mini computer (PDP-8 type) with some questionable hacks ( the graphics card was a BBC hobby computer grafted onto a blank card ) and legacy hardware, including the disc interface called SASI ( the predecessor to SCSI) which are / were pretty much unobtainable. These interfaces were hooked up to 8 SASI floppy drives. So what was the new 'hard drive' ?? A SASI 8 Bernoulli in a huge plastic case. They also offered a pair of SASI 400k plastic-type 'floppy' drives in a rack mounted chassic for only $2700. [more OT rambling below] It was so ironic that non-technical people were so enamored with the SSL, not knowing how really ancient the control systems was. We techs were constantly putting it down for its design shortcuts and mistakes, but we had to work on it because it was responsible for more 'hits' than any other single console and the brand brought in the business. The engineers just learned the string of keystrokes and the ones that could figure it out became stars ( read: Bob Clearmountain ) and the others had assistants run it. The biggest irony was that as I brought modern computers into the studio (ok, Macs) in the late 80s and the audio engineers started using them for email and amusement, the semi-command line interface of the SSL really showed how far we'd come. We spent hours trying to figure a way to simplify the interface using our new macs, but the SSL just had no hooks for outside control and the core code itself was a labyrinthine noodleworks of 'spagetti' code with no source - it was in some guy's head - and he had left the company. There are still hundreds of these things out there today.
