I'm signed up for this list but want the digest mode. How do I get it? OK, here are some clarifications from what I did experience. There seems to be some confusion on the Google website about how to subscribe to groups and manage your subscription from a non-Google email account. For those that are subscribed from their Gmail account, please ignore this. For all the others, here is what I did again. You first need to send an email from the account you want to subscribe to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. You'll receive a confirmation email and you just have to reply to it. Then, go to http://groups.google.com/. From that page, click the Join link next to New users. On the next page, enter your current email address, the one you just subscribed. Choose a password and customize your profile if you want. Then, click the I accept. Create my account. button at the bottom of the page. You will get another confirmation for your account creation. You can again reply to that confirmation or click the hyperlink in it. When creating an account for my Fannie Mae email address, I did click the hyperlink. Then, open a new browser tab or window or enter the Google Groups link http://groups.google.com/. From that page, now click the Sign in link next to Members. When I want to sign in with my Gmail account, I just enter my user ID without the domain, e.g. 'laurent.daudelin' (my Google email address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'). If I want to manage my Fannie Mae email address account, I first sign out if I'm signed in then I enter my full Fannie Mae email address in the email field, e.g. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', along with my password. That's working perfectly so far. Using Safari, if I type enough characters to identify my Gmail account, it sets the password for that account automatically. Very handy. Once you signed in, you should see the G-Books group under All my groups since you already subscribed to that group with your email address. Click the G-Books link. Then, if you want to change your subscription (switch to digest, email, etc.), click the Unsubscribe or change membership link next to Start a new topic. The next page should be pretty obvious.

Top-Bottom Posting Clarification
We just got words from Dan, the List Mom, about the top-bottom posting issue and here is what he said: The rule applies regardless of the default behavior of any given email client. We established the rule for four reasons: 1. It's logical. It shows the flow from message to response. 2. It makes it possible to read a reply without having to skip past the new text to read the quoted material it's responding to. If the thread hasn't been active for a day or two - or you've been away from email over the weekend - this is very helpful. 3. Bottom posting forces people to see how much they're quoting and should act as a visual reminder not to quote everything. 4. Finally, it's nice to have consistency. This is all about best practices, not default email software behavior. Dan So, folks, better get used to it. I am not happy to have to remind people but we've been asked to so I'm just carrying on. Let's not turn this into a debate as to whether top or bottom posting is best, OK? Now resuming our G-Books regular content... -Laurent.

Even student that don't have a software program with their school would rather save the 200.00 on an app if they can use a office suite that is free. That's a very valid point. I remember 15 years ago, when I was working for an Apple dealer, people were walking in the store and were asking for Microsoft Word. After talking to them, most of the time, they would have used maybe 10% of everything Word had to offer back them. There were cheaper alternatives but people didn't know better. So, I think it's good that someone mentions alternatives to the big gorilla of software. Bill Gates is rich enough so all our money doesn't have to go in his pockets. I too run Office 2004 on my Mac through an employee purchase program where I could get any Microsoft software for $20.

Re: Drive needs repair? Should I worry?

I just finished running the drive utility, and got this message: [snip!] This is an 80 gig drive in a 15 AL 'book. But the repair button wouldn't become solid so I couldn't try it. So, I ran Drive Genius, from the CD. I've run the repair function 3 times now and it keeps telling me that the disk need to be repaired. Doesn't want to DO that repair tho!. I haven't done the rebuild function--really not sure if that would help or not. I haven't noticed any problems using the 'book, and I have a backup using SuperDuper that's 3 days old. What would you all suggest I do--run rebuild, keep trying repair until it takes, scrub the drive and start over? (obviously the last isn't my favorite alternative) It might be a problem waiting to ruin some documents. Have you tried to boot from the system CD and launch Disk Utility from there? Do you have access to DiskWarrior? I had a problem with a drive where Disk Utility started the repair but could not complete it. I was left with a disk that I couldn't even mount. I tried DiskWarrior and it recovered the drive fine. Otherwise, I would do another backup, not replacing the one that is 3 days old. Then, I would format the drive with zeroing out the data and check carefully the result. I would then maybe restore the whole disk from the backup and see if it works. The problem here is that there might be some files that have been damaged by this problem, but there might not be any either. So recovering the files you would archive might be just fine but there might already be some files damaged and you won't discover it for a while. It's hard to tell. If you can and have the time, I would reinstall the system and apply all updates. I would then restore my account. I also heard about an OS X update that caused a problem with Disk Utility where Disk Utility would report a problem when there were none. But if you tried Drive Genius and got similar result, then I guess that this rules out the bug... -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Washington, DC, USA Usual disclaimers apply *** -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

You'll need to boot from the OS install CD-ROM, and then try to run Disk Utility, and the repair button should be available. I've never actually had to run the repair function myself, but I'm pretty sure that's the case. Of course, if I'm mistaken, I'm sure someone will correct me.

Do you think someone with two left hands can fairly easily add or replace more RAM without too much risk of cracking something underneath the hood? Does one need a special screw driver to open the keyboard or do you think the kind that one uses for eye glasses would work? To get to the memory bank or slot under the processor, you have to pull the processor daughtercard. The connector that holds the daughtercard to the motherboard is in the lower right corner. You have to pull the daughtercard straight up so that you don't damage any of the multiple pins that the connector houses. Once removed, it's fairly easy to put the memory. Then, you have to put back the daugthercard, which is a little more daunting. Considering how the connector and all the pins seem to be fragile, you have to push quite hard to make sure the dauthercard is plugged correctly.

Re: G4-iBook w/o OS - Question
on 09/12/05 05:23, BGbank at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greetings folks, This may be a no-brainer Q... but I don't know... I'm thinking of buying from a certain vendor a G4 ibook that comes without an OS. My Q is, How can you install an OS if it doesn't already have one? I have OS 9.1 CDs which came with this current G3 ibook (300mhz, 6gig, 128 ram). Will a G4 ibook (800mhz, 30gig, 640 ram) without any OS on it, let me boot from and/or install this OS 9.1-CD, for starters? (Eventually I would look to buy OSX CDs, etc.) In other words, I'm sure the machine will turn on, but then what? Will a G4 ibook w/o any OS on it even let you get to the Start Up Disk in the Apple Menu/Control Panels so you can set it to start up on the OS 9.1 CD? And then would it let me merely copy to HD the entire OS 9.1 from the CD? If so, that'd be great. But if not, I wouldn't want to buy this G4 ibook if I can't even make it work. If it's more complicated than what I described above, does anyone know of a webpage or URL that would list How To do such a thing, step-by-step? Depending on the model of iBook, it may or may not boot from that OS 9.1 CD. Any Macintosh will be able to boot from an appropriate system install CD. The CD has a version of the OS so that the Mac can boot from it. The only gotcha is to make sure that the system install CD you have is appropriate for the specific model of Mac you're planning to use it with. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] metasyntactic variable: n.
