5300 back from REA. nearly :)

Hi gang, just thought I'd pass along the latest development with a 5300c I sent through the REA program recently. After waiting the 'suggested' two weeks, I rang Applecare Aus. today asking if they could track down my little friend. The lovely Sharon said 'good news/bad news'. The good news is

Re: I have seen my powerbooks crack...

On my recently obtained 3400, the hinges are good, but spongy. I'm thinking of milling a whole new assembly out of billet aluminum that will have a much more solid feel. I have a lathe/milling machine, just have to fool with it some more before attempting projects like that Russ --- Aaron Cl

I have seen my powerbooks crack...

My powerbook ( a 1400) has the popular problem of cracking at the hinges. Friends with the same books have used JB Weld, and my father, who has a pb 145 used nuts and bolds to hold his screen together after the thing fell off. So, what I want to know is this, has anyone found a better way? Thanks

remote access option

Would someone out there on the list please explain the sequence of steps one needs to take when using the "dial manually" option when using "remote access." I would would appreciate it! I am using 8.6 on a 3400. Thanks, Nanci -- PowerBooks is sponsored by

IR port/5300/Farallon Airdock

I found the Farallon Airdock worked well to provide infrared to the desktop machine. You should be able to use it with system 8.1 (Farallon helped me set that up, but now they're some other firm) I'd have to look up the instructions. Also, the instructions say you could be several feet away to tra
