I saved the protecting foam that came with my powerbook, the sheet that was in between the keyboard and the screen. I don't think that there's such a big problem with the key marks on the screen with the new powerbooks because the keyboards are fixed and not removable as in the old Powerbook. A...

I would have a few hundred of them if it wasn't for the wife.... :p Viktor

I bought myself a region free DVD player on-line for 120 bucks, here in the US it's not as easy to find region free DVD/VCRs and TVs that are PAL/NTSC compatible as it is in Europe. I guess there's more of an market in Europe for that then here. You can go to a local electronic chain and pick...

That would be a good feature to have, it could be in the apple menu as location is Viktor

Try downloading it again you might have a corrupt file Viktor

I know, they have the voice line and fax on the same line with an answering machine built in. It would be a nice if apple could add a function where you can call the number and then hit the fax command. Viktor

Hi all, today I tried to use the fax software that comes with panther, but with no success. The fax on the other end has a answering machine on it that comes on and the person with the fax said that you just have to do it manually, call the fax number and the press start on your fax-machine. Is...

I think a 20" iMac is a little over kill. How would that look on the little dome shaped computer, kind of wired in my opinion. To big for it. I would like to see something like the cube again, priced well, so you can choose between iMac or Cube with a similar sized screen and for just slightly...

Works fine here too Viktor

DeltaMac, yes I know that I had a bad ram chip that's been pulled, now I'm running with the 256mb that came with my compute, so now the AluBook is running fine in that respect. I've seen a lot of problems with ram and Panther (apple support discussions), seems like panther is really picky about...

appleworm, thanks that was helpful, I wonder why my old powerbooks video starts up so much faster. DeltaMac, it didn't find anything wrong Viktor

Both system are clean installs, not upgrades, reformatted hard drives then a clean install of 10.3 DeltaMac, don't you find it strange that my new powerbook takes more then twice the time to get to the point where the screen comes on? It might be helpful if other people timed their startup...

Here's the times AluBook 23.5 sec from button pressed till screen lights up and 31.7 sec to the 'log in' screen PowerBook G3 10.4 sec from button pressed till screen lights up and 54.4 sec to the 'log' in screen So you see, my old powerbook is faster to the point when the screen comes on...

I'm going to time the start up and post it. Viktor

DeltaMac, the problem with slow start up was there before 10.3 but all the kernel panics freezes and so on started after installing panther. I've read that there's alot of people with ram problems with alubooks and panther. My powerbook G3 boots faster as far as from the sound till the screen...

well, it's as slow now with only 256mb in it, since my other stick is not working, and that's less then my lombard but it still takes a long time sometimes. It feels like there's something wrong with my hard drive. And panther being slower then jaguar is kind of disappointing since I heard that...

Well, I have a clean install of panther, just that, nothing added except network cable and mouse and I formated my hard drive before both installs of panther. Viktor

I started as well with 10.2 installed on my alubook 1ghz but I've done two installs of panther with erasing the harddrive and it feels slower then 10.2. I thougt I would be faster, I'm kind of disappointed and with all the memory problems I've had see this thread Viktor

Hi all, I've had problems with my new powerbook and ram. It all started when I installed Panther. There's been a lot of post about this in the apple discussion forum. I bought Centon ram from compusa. Anyone els had any problems with this? And another thing is that it takes a while for my...

Or maybe 'Intruder' ;) :D Viktor
