It isn't a PCMCIA slot; it's an IDE port. I didn't know that anyone still called it PCMCIA. (You know the joke.)

well - i read that the airport was a std lucent OEM pcmcia card - i want to be able to mount a pc flashcard from my prof. digital camera actually - no port issues - it fits ok - i'…

Badcat: I'd like to find a PCMCIA reader for USB, too, but I have 2MB SRAM cards. I know the Antec reader sold by Outpost doesn't work (I'm sending one back now) but I don't know …

To clarify: the Antec reader doesn't work with SRAM cards, though ATA flash and others should be OK. It's a well-made piece of equipment, and the tech support at Antec is first-cl…

From what I understand, the Airport <b>Card</b> is IDE, but the Airport <b>Base Station</b> actually contains a Lucent CardB…

I just got a brand new iBook se and it refuses to wake from sleep. I have to reset the power manager by taking out the battery, etc..... Are there any known issues that may be…

Well, I have read that there is more than one cause for iBooks not to wake up out of sleep. My problem was cured once I turned off Disk Light 5.0.2, which is a component of Symant…

Having made the decision to go with the new Powerbook (as I plan on using Final Cut Pro to edit projects with), I do realize what a pain it's about to become to install every singl…

I was just reading a post in the macaddict forums about someone who accidentally dropped their iBook and damaged it. I just want to say that it's really a good idea to insure your …

Is there a deductible? Or some other hidden fee when you need to make a claim.

Usually there's a $250 deductable with State Farm's renters insurance policies. I'm not sure whether you can pay higher premiums to avoid that deducatable or not.

Most standard polucies specifically exclude breakage of fragile items although coverage can be added for named items usually at very sifnificant additional premium. I would check t…

This is interesting. I went to state farm and ended up getting what they call the Inland Marine Policy for a $50 premium for $2,225 worth of coverage (and $100 deductible). It co…
