Well, it seems pretty fair to say that Samsung and Delta electronics have been PROTOTYPING a lot with these units and that the results are very random. About the heat issue, I fin…

My Samsung yo-yo easily wins: � It has a silver embossed apple logo, � says on the bottom "i was made in China, my model No: M7322", � Charges the Pismo battery flawlessly � Hums…

Hey, That'd be great if there was a new speed bumped powerbook in store for us or something amazing. I am not really into speculating too much here though. As far as stocks as my l…

Well, it seems that a lot of dealers are offering cash back on current books, and not stocking a whole lot of them. I checked ClubMac's site this morning - they report no stock of…

Not even the fastest G4 can currently play DV codec video on High quality at full frame rate. The data rate is just too high. For viewing on the computer, just go into the movie'…

When i put it in my *bag*, it goes in port-side down. Since the case is "streamlined", i would think putting all the weight on the front would stress the case out. When i put it in…

I use a Madsononline.com G3 powerbook bag for my pismo 500 and the 1/4 " foam around it makes it so that the pressure around the book is almost equal in every spot, therefore it wo…

I also have a case with 1/4" thick foam, really great. I can then just place it in wither port side up or down and away I go with no probs.

So how do u like the madsonline powerbook bag? Is it worth the $100 price tag on a nylon bag? And also if you had to chose a bag all over again, would you still get the madsonlin…

Sponge- Ive been really paranoid about the keys touching the screen problem that a lot of people have reported where the pressure of the keys on the screen could concieveably cause…

taz, i tried to look up Madsononline.com to look at the bag you refer to, but the server could not be found. i just wanted a visual on the bag. is this the correct url? thanks. …

I have a Pismo 400 and I have noticed the same problem. At first I was quite nervous about it. Meaning I just thought I got a bad egg. I haven't had any problems cleaning off th…

I have had the same experience with this series of laptops. The most well-traveled machine in my collection, a PowerBook G3 Series (1999), had these annoying marks on its screen. …

I've got the same marks, only worse. My problem is made worse by the heat sink in my PB. It's too big for the casing and makes the left side of my keyboard bulge upward, which in…

Perhaps your processor module needs to be pushed in more. To do this, remove the two screws that hold the shielding tight, and firmly but carefully apply pressure. Be sure to first…

Thanks for the tip! I'm not confident enough to do too much myself "under the hood," but I'll mention it to the guy at the service place. But he seems convinced that it's the hea…

Sponge, A heat sink that makes the keyboard bulge *IS* a problem, and don't let any "Apple" tech tell you otherwise. Something is mis-aligned or mis-manufactured. They should re-s…

"...going to resort to keeping a sheet of something between the keyboard and the screen." that would likely add to the problem somewhat by adding extra pressure (as was suggested …

I use a swiffer disposable sheet between the keys and screen to prevent such marks. Plus the sheets does its original job by trapping dust and dirt on contact. 16 sheets per box …

I have had bad experiences with Swiffer/Grab-it cloths. Their static-attraction coating is very oily, and leaves hard-to-remobe gunk on the screen. It took copious amounts of 409 a…
