screen sizes vs. reality

OK, I had a person give me a hard time about a 12 inch LCD screen size and I want to know, do people genuinely have serious complaints about 12 inch screens? I have two units with 12 inch screens, on with a 15 inch, one with a 9.5 inch (my PowerPC PB540c) and even an old black and white PB 170

playstation and bridging the wireless base stations

What are you using to bridge the wireless base stations? Although I had read about the possibility I've not been able to track down an actuall procedure to make the units speak to each other and pass data. I'd like to be able to bridge using directional antennas over some significant

G3 AC adapter replacements

Anyone who still has the small black rectangular power adapter that came with the Wall Street and early Pizmo PowerBooks should go to this web site and get a new one. They may discontinue the program any time now that they are technically not supporting the Wall St.

PC and Mac on the same wireless network is simplicity

you should have no issue at all Brian. The only thing I've ever noticed is some limitations on AppleTalk and the occational strangeness with WEP security. Victor In a message dated 12/23/04 3:24:23 AM, G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com writes: Brian Rule [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mixed wireless

painted iBook

Take it to a mom 'n' pop certified Apple shop to get it repaired. Most of them are a little less stodgy about working on the unit and will usually actually look for the PROBLEM rather than look for a way to get out of liability or boost the repair rate. Shop around also. Where are you? Victor

Odd Wall St. w/System Profiler

OK, here's an interesting one. I just came into posession of a Wall St. and I'm trying to get it all working and happy. Apple System profiler identifies it all correctly and perfectly (using 9.2.2 for now) but for some reason identifies the speed as a G3 running at 450. Now I don't want to

video to disk

First off, consider using the Video CD format VCD for your transfer of VHS tape material instead of DVD. The VCD format plays just fine on about 98% of DVD players and you can record on regular CD burner media at about 20¢ or so a pop instead of $2 each for DVD media. The Quality of MPEG-1 VCD

Minidisk to Mac

Yes, if someone figures this out, either with some USB or Firewire option or using Optical cable, I'd love to know. I have a pre-USB Sony Minidisk unit that has an interface and also an Optical cable input but so far as I know I've never found a way to directly interface it with the Mac. That's

Wow, Farallon Skyline Wireless works great

I am so super please with my $20 Farallon Skyline Wireless 802.11b that I thought I'd mention it. I'm running it on OS 9.2 on my Wall St. and the install was flawless and the included tools make it a breeze to get on both Airport and also generic Wi-Fi systems. I highly recommend it. Victor

OK, Bluetooth Cell phone with Cingular PowerBook

OK, I've got a new Bluetooth USB plugged into a PowerBook G4 with OS X.3 (tried it on an iMac and an iBook, same results) and all works well and the phone and the computer(s) can see each other but the OS X setup askes for a CID String to dial directly into the GPRS Cell Phone data network and

G3 USB PowerBook Expansion Bay hard drive case for sale

I have a G3 USB PowerBook Expansion Bay hard drive case for sale. This is a handy little case that you can mount any 2.5 inch IDE/ATA laptop hard drive and it then becomes a handy dandy slip-in, high speed backup storage drive. It fits in PowerBook G3 units that have USB (after Wall St. but

Recomendations for updates for Wall St.

Looking to add in a FireWire/USB 1.1 PCMCIA combo card AND also add in a 802.11b card to a Wall St. running OS 9.2.2. I will be upgrading to X later so if these cards can be made to work with X that would be good. Any recommendations? The Wall St. fortunately has 2 card slots. Thanks guys,

OK, I'm new on the gbook list but Ive been on the PowerBook list for years. Ok, I'm re-doing a Wall St. 266 from the ground up. I've already gotten the new stainless steel hinges, cover latch, etc. etc. and before I got around to getting the new memory, pair of 256 SODIMMS, I went ahead and
