If you are using cable (as opposed to DSL), the ISP should supply a cable modem, which has an Ethernet (RJ45) socket at the back of it. For an all-in-one router / firewall / WAP solution I recommend the netgear models. -- Tarik From kaskudoo at freenet.de Fri May 4 04:13:30 2007 From: kaskudoo at freenet.de (Kaskudoo) Date: Fri May 4 04:14:54 2007 Subject: [Ti] Wireless Cable Modem In-Reply-To: <624142.73482.qm@web32002.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <624142.73482.qm@web32002.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: I would recommend netgear as well, although i have more experience with their wired models. i cannot recommend linksys - nothing but trouble with the one from my landlord. the pc from with win2k next to the imac gets good reception, the imac drops out of every minute and most of the time cannot get a connection at all. i actually share the connection now through the pc .... sad thing On May 4, 2007, at 1:36 AM, Da Pen wrote: > Hello, > > What are thoughts about the best Cable modem/router > wireless for our beloved Macs and an errant PC?

I have a Belkin F5D7230-4 which has served me well for several years. I first used it just to wirelessly share a dial-up connection from one of my Windows boxes. Later, when I got cable internet, I plugged it into the cable modem. I get so-so range with my G4 Titanium 802.11b (about 50 feet), but I think that is the Mac's fault. My wife's Compaq can go well into the yard, with the access point in the center of the house. My Intel MacBook can connect to it from a block away, based on a quick test. The only problem I've had with the router/AP was during a firmware upgrade. Something crashed mid-flash. That made it a nice paperweight. Belkin shipped me a free replacement. I did need to send the old one in first though. I was without it for about a week. I could have bought a new one first and gotten credit for it, but I was not in a big hurry. I'd get another one of these if I were starting out again. Of course, you can get an Airport Extreme base if you want the print server function too. They are unnecessarily pricey though, in my opinion.

Enough more power than the MacBook to make it worth while. I didn't like the glossy screen when we looked at it.

Yes, most likely, but it's not as fast as it could be. It does leak memory, so you'll want to shut it down now and then and relaunch. This all goes away in the fall when the Universal binary comes out (if it's on schedule). It should run really fast then. > Will it outperform my PowerMac G4 1.42Ghz dp? It should, but it depends upon your use. Maybe not with a lot of Rosetta apps, but there aren't many of those left. > > Hard disk: should I go for speed or size? Size. Otherwise you'll be futzing with moving stuff around and onto other drives too much. Get the biggest disk you can. > Video: Should I go for the MBP [2] Yes, if your budget supports it. The expansion slot, larger screen, other performance features and firewire 800 are worth it. The MacBook is a consumer machine, the MacBook Pro a professional machine. Decide which your use will really be and purchase accordingly. > Screen: Do I really want glossy? Do I need a 17", or will the > MacBook screen be suffficient? Strictly personal taste. For graphics, it's better than matte. I love mine. If you have a lot of overhead lights or bright windows, you'll get reflections. If you keep it tipped down a bit, you'll be OK. It just looks a lot better - trust the Apple designers on this. Others, however, will strongly disagree and don't like it at all. Go to the Apple store and mess around with both. Decide from that. I'd go for the portability of 15" machine. The 17" machine is a lot to lug around and is more clumsy. It's a great machine for graphics folks who need to show clients stuff or who have to work on the move a lot. Otherwise, if you really want screen real estate, get a 19" LCD monitor and plug into that. Having the two screens, one 12" tall, increases productivity and ease of use immensely. -- Dennis Fazio From arjan.bos at hetnet.nl Fri May 11 00:06:14 2007 From: arjan.bos at hetnet.nl (Arjan Bos) Date: Fri May 11 00:06:23 2007 Subject: [Ti] TiBook Gigabit Ethernet Replacement advice sought In-Reply-To: <25BEA0A3-9D3D-46CB-B04C-7CB01A814137@earthlink.net> References: <714734B7-51A3-4F43-B68D-A3D25F5A84C5@hetnet.nl> <25BEA0A3-9D3D-46CB-B04C-7CB01A814137@earthlink.net> Message-ID: On 9 mei 2007, at 22:33, Ptah Hotep wrote: > If you can hold out until this fall - '07 when Leopard will come > onboard, your Rosetta issue may not be so much an issue.

Thanks, I'll think I'll hold out until the new hardware becomes available. I'm planning on buying Leapard anyway for my PowerMac G4. The reason I'm concerned about Rosetta is mainly office, because I'm not going to buy a version without VBA support. Unfortunately, I've too much time invested in them, both in a Mac and a Windows environment.

Only MacbookPro Core 2 Duo can fully perform with the new Airport Extreme base. Apparently it is possible to replace the original airport card with a Dell card "Draft N 1500 Wireless mini PCI-E card" that can be purchased on eBay for $45. Has anybody made this change or has found other solutions? Apple does not sell the card and do not look providing any support for upgrade.

As many here predicted years ago, IBM has just released a RISC chip that is capable of running rings around anything that Intel could even dream of designing - let alone manufacture. Imagine speeds exceeding 5 Ghz in a MacBook Pro! So far only for servers, but when IBM develops circuits for server machines they have a nasty habit of showing up in Personal Computers soon thereafer. Quote from AP news wire... Delivering on its promise of a superfast server chip, IBM Corp. said Monday that its new Power6 microprocessor will go on sale next month, boasting twice the clock speed of the previous generation while consuming roughly the same amount of power. [...] In addition to raw power, the new IBM chip also has massive bandwidth - 300 gigabytes per second - which the company says can process the download of the entire iTunes music catalog, currently more than 5 million songs, in about a minute.

You are implying that Apple made its Intel switch decision based on raw performance of the processors. That was not the case. Since everyone has access to the same technology and the same state of the art knowledge of circuit design and processor architecture, you can be sure that there will never be a significant raw performance advantage of one microprocessor over another. This is a great server chip, but can IBM or would IBM also produce workstation versions and low-power laptop versions with sufficient yields and in sufficient quantities and at a competitive price to be used in a full Mac product line? Can all of the mainstream software be compiled and optimized with trivial effort to perform as well as or better than on any other popular processor architecture. I believe the answer to both of those questions would be no. That is why Apple switched. IBM's focus is on embedded processors and high-powered servers, not workstations and laptops. -- Dennis Fazio From fred at mindstate.com Mon May 21 17:00:34 2007 From: fred at mindstate.com (Fred) Date: Mon May 21 17:00:59 2007 Subject: [Ti] Prediction has come true [OT] In-Reply-To: Message-ID: > From: Dennis Fazio > Subject: Re: [Ti] Prediction has come true [OT] > On May 21, 2007, at Mon, May 21 2007, 12:42 pm, John Griffin wrote: > >> Well folks, the Intel - IBM debate has just been updated.

Plugged in will keep the clock accurate and the internal PRAM battery charged and in good condition. However, storing a battery at 100% charge for a long time is a good way to lose capacity quickly. Hence, discharge it to 40%, then store it in a cool location.

Jon said: "Any chance it is the setting in your Energy Saver System Preference Panel that puts your display to sleep when the computer is inactive for a specified amount of time?" Perhaps that is it. I just checked it, and it was set for less than 15 minutes, and I changed it to read "never." Perhaps that will do it. With respect to Simon's comments, Apple replaced the inverter board when it replaced the HD and CD-ROM drive a year or so ago, and hence hopefully it hasn't gone bad again.

Some options to look at: I assume there are no runaway processes causing this? (Activity Monitor would show that.) I guess I would then check all the vents to make sure they are not blocked by anything or clogged with dust. Perhaps there is a thermal conductivity problem between the processor and its heat sink. That might requires some disassembly to inspect and perhaps some new thermal grease. But I would look at other less traumatic options from others before going that step. If you have a Genius Bar nearby, that might also be a good source of advice. -- Dennis Fazio
