Thanks all for your comments. I did an over the network 8..0 install (no format yet) and it works fine, even seems a bit snappier. I think I have found a SCSI cable to hook it up to my old 1.2G external drive, so I'll do a complete format and reinstall that way. If I get stuck again I know whe

Hi. Normally I'm pretty quiet because I don't really have a lot of Mac wisdom to share, but here's my digital camera situation: I have an Olympus D-40. It is small, cute, works like a charm, and I'm the envy of all my digital photographer pals (which kind of makes up for the fact that I didn't rea

Okay, then, we're already doing the right thing... as I thought. With the iBook, we watch a DVD about once a week, on battery only, so it gets regularly used on battery. The 3400s rarely get unplugged, as they live near the DSL router. Thanks, Lou Joost van de Griek wrote: > > On 2003-01-06 17

Great, now I have directly conflicting advice. It IS a li-ion, so I shouldn't let it discharge??? I should just keep them plugged in all the time unless taking it somewhere? Or let it work on battery once a month and recharge? Where is the "certain point?" I did go to the archive but there is so

I just leave my battery in all the time on my 3400c and mainly run it off AC. I bought it second-hand and the battery seems to give about an hour - they're much better than the so-called intelligent batteries in the 500 series and seem to suffer less problems. Batteries for the 5300 will also work

I use a new Kodak DX4330 which is great camera. Primarily it's plugged into my G4 using the Dock, but for my 3400 I bought a PC Card adaptor on ebay for £18 that takes everything except compact flash - those readers are even cheaper. Speed is about the same as USB and it works a treat. The files ar
