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…

hi from New Zealand does anyone know is there is a way to actually use the airport slot under the keyboard as a PCMCIA slot? The airport card is a PC card - drivers from a g3 power…

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…

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…

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.

The "W" keycap on my iBook recently broke. When I contacted the CompUSA where I purchased the iBook, I was informed that they had no replacement keycaps for iBooks, and that I woul…

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…

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…
