Not sure if there is enough padding or not as i made a small padded
sleeve out of quilting material and slip it into a case i just bought
at Ikea... they are on sale for $9.99 (Canadian) and fit the Lombard
perfectly... might take a look if your near an Ikea and the U.S. ones
have them...
Have a little network set up with 2 imacs and my powerbook... am
using a D-Link router. It shorted out the other day and stopped

plugs in the back and would

had come out about an 1/8, enough to disconnect, but not enough to
be seen plugged it back in
Tried command control power... still nothing.

Have had the Lombard freeze at least once an hour without doing
anything strenuous... just seems to freeze. I bought it used with

That's very reassuring to hear. I had planned to send my wallstreet in for
the hinge upgrade, thinking that for $10 more than the stock hinges it was

Just fixed one on my Lombard... don't know if it might be the same
problem... but looking into the port from the rear, i noticed the

nothing i would do seemed
Was quickly tired of using the track pad on my Lombard... (that
didn't take long...only have had it for a couple days) and remembered
an old puck style mouse from my 266 Rev B that has been sitting in
