I've used the Bookendz for the Aluminium Powerbook G4 and it was terrible. This was the state that one of the ports was in when I received it: http://www.rshk.co.uk/var/pbook/DSC02778.JPG Or, at another angle: http://www.rshk.co.uk/var/pbook/DSC02779.JPG Overall, the side...

Note: I don't work for Jigsaw24 :) Anyone in the UK, I can't recommend Jigsaw24 (www.jigsaw24.com) highly enough for sales! I ordered the Powerbook (old model) Friday, they were meant to have a model coming in for me, shipping for today (not sure what happened to that, Jigsaw purchasing and...

Oh dear. I just checked the pricing changes, and I must say my decision has changed a little. I could get 1.67Ghz/512MB RAM/128MB VRAM/80GB disk/Combo drive and a 20" Apple Display for the price (w/o VAT) I just paid for 1.5Ghz/1GB RAM (2DIMMs)/80GB disk/Superdrive I'm rather annoyed. I think...

I'd just point out that the 100metres distance is without signal amplification, or repeaters, it is possible to get runs of >100metres. However, this has no significance to the original question :) Is the distance of 6metres in the same room, or is it through a wall or something? I've not...

So, after having my Powerbook stolen, I went ahead and ordered one, the company I deal with were meant to be having one come in from Apple today. So, let's do a little analysis. Basically, all I /really/ like about the new model is the Thinkpad like drop sensor, I didn't really use the...

nmbd is a program that allows netbios names to be mapped. The problem with it "calling home" will probably stop the name mapping with Windows filesharing working. It's not a problem though, and I'd probably leave it if I were you. Rob

Exactly. Sorry for my completely useless description. Cheers, Rob

The Disk tool* burns ISOs. I've burnt them off before :) * It might not actually be called this, I've not got a Mac at the moment :( and I didn't have mine for that long before it got nicked, but the app with the crazy radioactive icon /will/ burn ISOs. Rob

I was at the University, so I had a student room, which happened to have a window that opened onto the front street. It had a draft screen, so there were effectively two layers of glass between the street and the room I was in. I'd been hanging in the room in between interviews, using my...

I'm missing my Powerbook too, it got half-inched (pinched/stolen) on the 14th December while I had interviews at Oxford University. The insurers have agreed to replace it, but I'm missing it :( Rob

I wonder how long after Christmas it will be. I'm going to need a laptop by then definitely, so looks like the current Powerbooks will do. You can't always have the latest and greatest stuff :)

Is it pretty much being taken as read that this bout of iBook updates will be followed by Powerbook updates? I've not been keeping track of Apple hardware for long, so I'd be interested to know whether they usually do follow this kind of pattern. I'm looking to get a 12" Powerbook, and as...

Generally, you can only use the IP address that has been assigned to your system (or network) at the location where the connection is. However, there are various ways to get around this. If you set up a mailserver at your office, and then use that as the SMTP server on your Powerbook away from...

Cool :) I'm currently using bitlbee, as it allows me to use irssi as my MSN client, I'll give yours a try. Great work :)
