No, its not. Classic does not have direct access to hardware as all hardware access is governed by Mac OS X's kernel. Therefore you would still have the same problem and the same root cause in Classic as in Mac OS X. David On Jan 30, 2004, at 11:12 PM, Robin Ashe wrote: On 1/20/04 2:55 PM, "M

Despite all the arguments you brought up for it not being a known issue, the fact of the matter is that to a lay person it was. When there's news reports on the issue it certainly is a "known issue". If they had declined to comment, or said that they hadn't determined whether it was a design fla

No need to start flaming. Of course they only cover certain models, which doesn't happen to include the one my mom is having troubles with (as well as a large number of other people). Regardless, I wouldn't want a new Mac, I'd want an old one that has been proven to be reliable. Of the 3 Macs my

Well, in actuality there are three issues, one is the over heating issue cited by "Bigbikerbo" here, the second is a cable routing issue causing stress on the video ribbon cable, and the third is an off shoot of the second where the stress is focused on the inverter board for said cable. Oh, bu

Re: iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program

Oh wait, thats what Apple did! Woohoo! Oh and they said they would pay back anyone who had already paid for the repair. Although I am sure Robin is mad they won't drive to each individual house hold and give them a new Mac and $1,000.00. David On Jan 30, 2004, at 9:11 PM, Brandy wrote: Soluti

Uhm, because a bunch of people claim they have similar symptoms does not mean there is a "known issue." Sorry but it actually does take some R&D time to determine such things. What research have you done into the matter to understand just what the problem(s) are, under what condition(s) such pr

Re: Western Digital external hard drive help

First thing to do is take it back to the store and ask for a replacement (they're usually more willing to replace than refund). If that doesn't work then you could try finding a program to low-level it. I don't know of any such programs on the Mac but if you have a friend with a PC then a program l

I disagree. Nobody is out but the owners, stockholders, and investors and future users and recipients of Apple product. Due to the assenine class-action suit against Apple, this has had lots of press. I have it from a good source that they've been working on this program for nearly 14 month

First, Apple never said anything about the problem publicly, that includes a denial, so they never lied about it. The 1889 signatures may or may not be accurate as online petitions are not the most accurate manners of protest in the world. "Pending" class action suit in this case is a nice way
