Ok. I'm sorry Bruce, been off line for a while, but the Holy Grail reference bought a smile to my face :) Been thinking about watching that tape again for a while now. Guess you made up my mind for me. cheers ian ___ Bruce Johnson wrote ___ >But the last time the castle stood err...

Re: 5300 back from REA. nearly :)

Hi Remy, Yes and no. When the screen detached itself from the body because the plastics separated, they gave it to me, free, gratis, and for nothing, because they new I already had the CS and thought I might be able to use some 'bits' from it. I may have neglected to mention the REA program to

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: 5300 Screen Problem

yeah. ain't it great :) I sure felt smug when I took it back to the shop after Apple called them and told them 'do it for free'. Especially after they (the shop) wanted $600 from me. I think the warranty was three months(?), and it packed up after about five. I did the usual, and told them it

Re: 5300 Screen Problem

I had to replace the logic board :( This actually happened after about 3 months to the board I had only just recently replaced. I wasn't too pleased as you could imagine, and the dealer here said 'cop it sweet mate. I'll sell you a new one' (about AU$600). I said not likely, and phoned apple h

Re: 5300 Screen Problem

Re: dual monitors poss?

thanks (again) Shawn, nah, not greedy, just got too used to twin 20" trinitrons on the desk :) thanks for the link, sounds like it *might* work one day. The Ti warning states their card is incompatible with 9.1 on this model, but the warning below that says users of any Powerbook with firewire

Re: dual monitors poss?

Thanks Shawn, but just to be clear that I have explained myself properly, I want to not only connect to an external CRT, but also a *second* CRT, to give me the *extra* screen real estate. Is this possible? Many thanks, and sorry if I confused you (or me!) cheers ian _ i a n f o x
