I use the pc card slot with an adaptor for my compact flash cards that are in my digital camera.
I don't have to take extra cables, just the adaptor that slots into the side of my…

Lets say I am driving around downtown in my car with my laptop on and suddenly get the urge to log onto the net and surf. I have heard it's possible using the airport card but how?…

I think it's called war driving or something like that. If somebody has a wireless network set up with no security and no MAC address specific permission set up, you can simply us…

Depends on if you want to play nice and whether you're in an area that has an 802.11 b or g network. In that case you can just check the drop down menu on your AirPort signal indi…

Powerbook with Sleep Problem — #1
Hey All -
I have a Rev. A 17" Powerbook which I love, but I have noticed lately that when I shut the lid it takes sometimes close to a minute for it to fall asleep, whereas it us…

Most likely you have a process that is tidying itself up. I had the same problem when I installed faxStuff about a year ago.
Start thinking about what you have installed since th…

Hi All,
I'm going to be buying a 15 or 17" PB here shortly, and was wondering if there are any good port replicators out there so that I can hook up an external cinema display, et…

Good question...I've been wondering the same thing.
Edit - I did find these, not sure how good they are...but look okay. A little on the expensive side though. Doesn't look lik…

Port replicators? — #5
Thank you. I'm very surprised to find that replicators aren't very common for the powerbook line. As popular as they are I would have thought someone would have launched a nice d…

I used a BookEndz dock for my Ti 400 and honestly, it wasn't worth the expense ($250). You have to line it up just right and spend a lot of time futzing with it to get it to work …

I don't get it. Even if you use a replicator you're still plugging and unplugging from the Powerbook. So the wear and tear is the same either way.
I think there are two main reaso…

Random idea I had the other day. Most of Apple's high end desktops have been dual processor for a while, why not offer that possibility in a laptop? Well, shoving two CPUs inside…

If anything, you incur more wear and tear (and possibly permanent damage) because of the considerable force required to dock your PowerBook correctly.

I hate plugging and unplugging the cables from my laptop.
The missing element on Powerbooks is a single in-line connector that many PC notebooks (Dell 600, Sony V505) have either…

I take my laptop on/off my desk twice a day and connnecting/disconnecting cables isn't that big a deal.
I have power, speakers, 1xusb which goes to my keyboard, my MS Natural has …
"Use Interference Robustness" — #1
A couple months ago, I got a 15 inch Powerbook. Perviously, I'd been using an old clamshell iBook. Anyway, I've noticed that, in my Powerbook's Airport menu, there's an option that…
"Use Interference Robustness" — #2
I think what it does is improve the signal over any interference, but at the cost of the distance you can be from your base station.
