Re: feet

I had lost 2-3 of my rubber feet. This past summer I had to send my Powerbook in to Apple for a logic board replacement, and when it came back it had new feet. But I don't even like the rubber feet. I have my Pb on a piece of cardboard, which makes it easier to slide around on my desk and i

Re: keyboard marks on the screen

I have a PB G4 400 MHz. I used to get gunk (oil/dirt) transferred from my keyboard to screen. A couple of years ago a wise friend advised me to keep a paper towel over the keyboard when the powerbook is closed. I use one sheet of Bounty Select-a-Size and it's just right. Now my screen stays

(My apologies if this has been recently covered; I subscribe but rarely read.) I have an Epson Stylus Photo 780 printer which is 2-3 years old. I seldom print stuff, so whenever I do I usually have to clean the print heads. It seems the only way to do so is via software, and the only soft

problem mounting CDs

I have a Titanium Mercury (G4/400MHz). I'm now on my third CD/DVD drive. The first one stopped mounting discs after a year or so, the second one another year or two. I just bought and installed a refurbished one a couple of weeks ago and almost immediately started having trouble mounting discs.
