iBook Battery Exchange

Hi all, Just have to say that this is super efficient... I haven't experienced anything quite like it before... Couldn't be more happy... I logged into the US Apple web page Friday evening, and filled in the form. While at work this morning, my call phone rang, and it was UPS calling to

Hi all, Again, I just have to thank so much for the information about the iBook battery re-call. I would most likely not have known about it, had it not been for this list. Finally got my iBook back today, after being without it for 2 months! I asked the shop if they could replace the battery

SV: [OT] What to do with old CRTs?

Hi, I remember seeing something cool... I think it was made from old screens, think TV's would have been a tad to big... A guy makes the coolest bowls out of old screens. He cuts them, and then files the edges smooth... Real cool bowls to use for all kinds of things, or just to have as decoration

Hi Rick, Ooooh, I loved those monitors too When I was in college, I switched from a stationary PC to a PowerBook, in 1992. Then a while after, I was having my finals. When I had tests, the school set up a computer for me in a separate room. After switching, I asked if it would be possible to

Thanks a lot for posting this! I just e-mailed the co. That now has had my iBook for 2 months, to ask them to check if I have this battery as well. My iBook gets so hot I almost burn myself touching it... None of my Power Books has been this way. My iBook was purchased in Hong Kong though, not in

Hi Pat, I also had this problem when I first joined the list. Finally I could not send to the list at all. I had to contact my ISP, seems that they were blacklisted, I had no idea why. They finally got it figured out, but it was totally impossible to mail the list administrator, at the address

Hi Ben, All my PB's has had the schuko grounded plug (plug with two round pins and grounding on the sides). A lot of other things (like laptops) does not have the grounding though, but all Power Book cables has had it. I don't know how my new iBook's plug is though. It came with the white square

Hi Laurent, With your post, you reminded me of something I have been wondering about lately. Sometimes my Pismo suddenly starts making a lot of noise while it works (and I am not meaning the fan). Can a HDD start making odd noises if it is about to wear out? My boss just lend me a 250 GB
