Vicki,
The graphite ABS cannot be used as a bridge. The ethernet port on
the station is designed only as an uplink to your DSL/Cable modem.
New versions of the ABS -- Snow and Extreme -- have a dedicated
WAN port that allows bridging. Having said that, there's several
inexpensive alternatives

Ok, my bad. I have been very ignorant of any 12 model, I'm afraid.
Everymac doesn't specify the 12. The cacheless Wallstreet 12 seem to
also have been available in 800 x 600 pixels, as I saw this

Backup after succesful installation with CCC or whatever and do it last.
I had both problems and success, but didn't notice much improvement.
Maybe 2-4%. 512MB RAM will give you a more substantial and reliable boost.

If I had an extra $500 I WOULD pick up a mini. Unfortunately we are
not all so financially blessed and I need a machine to sit at home to
do more server/dvr work. The portability is not really an issue for
me.

Personally I feel the 13in problems are overstated - a loose cable that can
be easily fixed with tape is the only screen issue I've seen in a dozen of
them.
I agree with the 12in FTSN, if you intend running X.

If you need a desktop and you are cash strapped (join the club) I would

As you may recall I just lost the L2 cache on my 400 Mhz Lombard.
I have offers of replacement cards from a few list members but there are
a few other symptoms I'm concerned about.
The most notable change is a high pitched whistle when I put the

Hi Lawrence,
I have had lots of PB's (Mac PowerBooks right?) over the years, but a

option. So I got an Apple Airport Express base for at home, which is a
neat little thing. I have already taken the iBook with me to hotels and

I just want to say thanks for all the great tips on these things. I am
going to the US this summer too, and for the first time I am thinking of

it would be great having it, also to download pictures to etc.
Aase :)

You shouldn't need a password if it's a public place. Most times you
need a password are your own network sometimes and if you're at an
office with a closed wireless. But for a library, you should be able
to just tap in... make sure you look for weirdos before you do any

I use File Synchronization. You can clone folders, copy one way or both
ways or select single files to keep synced. You can have it delete orphaned
files or not. I've been using it between my AlBook and my G4 tower for about
a year with no problems.
