A question has been troubling me of late. As many of us know, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find main batteries for the first PowerBooks taking Li-Ion batteries: the 24…

Nope, I was using FireFox. In the future, I will use utilities to keep tabs on the disk.

Even if the file system was corrupted, you can still backup the data. This only means that the computer was having a hard time trying to find the necessary files it needed to acce…

It's hard to say what exactly caused your iBook's hard drive to stop responding, but I'd say it was a corrupt file system. Depending on how long it was that you used the system an…

1. I think you must mean a 2100. 2. The language is in rom. I don't think it can be changed. (I could be wrong, but see #3). 3. Sell it on eBay Germany (Austria & Switzer…

Hi there guys. I just got a Newton 1200 but the problem is it's in german. Is there any way i can change the language?

I have iBook screws, so nothing to worry about in that aspect.

Just for the hell of it, I decided to look into this problem again. I was FINALLY able to get all of my data off the drive that was in there, when it crapped out. So I stuck it bac…

Well, I decided to import the "lost" posts last night. At first, I wasn't going to bother because I thought it was only 300 or less posts, but after I ran an SQL query to compare t…

Nice. But what we really need is a USENET gateway to 68kmla.org.

I spent quite a bit of time last night and this morning improving the Usenet post-indexing system. Before, it wasn't always grouping posts into their correct thread, and instead wa…

Unfortunately, most of those you have listed are Google groups, not Usenet newsgroups. I found a 68k linux Usenet group, but it was full of spam. :O

Hi, I've opened a public gate-way (read-only) to comp.sys.apple2 at my site. http://macgui.com/usenet/I will be adding more newsgroups shortly. Any suggestions? Click to expand.…

I don't know. It's on my server, so I like that. It's probably a nicer interface, and I'll be working on making it fit into my main site. There's a load of options for searching. Y…

What advantage does this have over Google Groups? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.apple2/topics?gvc=2

Update: I have 20,300 articles in 2,300 threads from January 2007 up until yesterday (none have been posted today yet). I have no idea what the retention rate is going to be like, …

It's not looking good, she's dead as a door nail now. I've swapped the batteries, put in PCI video card, disconnected every IDE cable, started swapping ram chips. I don't what's ne…

My gigabit does this. Make sure your video card is fully seated, it sometimes comes loosened on one end or the other when you open the case a few times.
