I'm having a similiar problem with my iBook but it usually goes away after the smiley Mac appears. On another note, I can't seem to watch VCDs in anything other than 256 colors. In…

"machaus", Okay, it was a joke, although quite on purpose. I was implying that I took slight offense to it and to refrain from saying that next time you post asking for help. Also…

hey i hate to bring this up but half the posts were rambling and incoherent also whats wrong with kids would you find "guys" incoherent and ramnling?

RAther than "kids" how about "ladies" either as used by Jerry Lewis (way back when, not recently) in a high pitched screech, or as used by the drill sargeant in Kubrick's "Full Met…

Nice going, Kathy!!! Please post any special problems your having as you work through it. I could have saved myself over a grand with the new PowerBook 2000 had I know this doable …

I am finding that I have to plug and unplug the telex microphone multiple times before the ibook recognizes it or viavoice can "hear" from it. I am going to try the USB SDK 1.4 ext…

I was also able to get ViaVoice with the Telex 531 to work with my ibook. The one task not specifically mentioned that I had to do was to upgrade to OS9 Audio 1.3. As soon as I d…

well, most PCMCIA cards have some type of port on the end (either firewire, USB, or modem/ethernet) so IF one could be put in the iBook's airport slot, the keyboard would probably …

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…

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…

Palm Desktop is a great (not to mention free) Organizer program. However, if you need something to share with multiple users, it is not for you.

Apple has decided that they want to work on all iBooks directly, and will not ship service centers ANY parts. I think calling Apple (and shipping back you whole unit) might be y…

I called tech support and told them I didn't want to send my iBook in because of sensitive data on the drive, the told me they would send out a replacement keyboard if I was comfor…

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…
