Yep, that's me. I was going to post a follow-up in a couple days. I just got that Pismo back from Powerlogix for the second time. It turns out that the first G4 chip I got was bad. They say it happens very rarely. The second time, they had it for almost 3 weeks. It works great now though, so I'm pretty happy with them.
Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the little plastic lens that covers the IR port on the Pismo? I just noticed that one of the ones I bought on eBay is missing that. Other than that it was in perfect condition. cheers, -Hal On Sunday, December 8, 2002, at 03:48 PM, Ian Haddock wrote: > Are you the same Hal from the report on xlr8yourmac.com? > > > On Saturday, December 7, 2002, at 09:50 PM, Hal wrote: > >> Vey strange.
