Get rid of that 1710AV, it's a piece of crap. It has a long track record of unreliability, & is one of the worst Apple products ever. Mine died 1.5 yrs ago, & Apple insulted me when I called them up about it. The guy got real nasty with me, & wouldn't do anything. Apple just called me up when my G4/667 1 yr warranty expired, & I got this jerk who ran a piercing noise into my ear. (tactics, to get callers attention). When I brought up the problems with my 1710AV, the jackoff hung up on me. Screw Apple. I'm reminded about Jaguars (the luxury sedan), who have good looks but are notoriously unreliable. I use a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920 (I got it for $450 a year ago), it's far better. I'm actually having doubts about Apple. The whole elitist mentality. The hardware is so freakin' expensive. I don't mind paying a little more for quality. But, the pricey stock pro keyboard & pro mouse..SUCK. I just got an Adesso EKB-2100 USB keyboard (w/power key) & Logitech MX500 optical mouse (8 keys). It made the overpriced Apple hardware look like crap. The useability of my G4/667 just went up ten-fold. I think my next machine will be a PC. I'm getting reports of stability of XP, & I can build my own PC sh*tbox. > > > Thanks, > Sue > > p.s.: thanks to those who gave me the heads-up on the RAM & Interleaving > issues....muchly appreciated! > > Sue Street, PhD(C), MScOT, OTReg.NS > School of Occupational Therapy > Dalhousie University > Halifax, NS Canada > B3H 3J5 > E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -=-=-=-Original Message-=-=-=- > > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 16:08:17 -0700 > From: Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: No Chime - PM 9500 & AppleVision 1710AV > > Maaki wrote: > > I bought a used PM 9500 with an AppleVision 1710AV monitor.
