Those of you who requested the screen images of the Powerbook Utilities, noted the "Airport" setting on the Norton version.
My understanding is that this setup (similar to an Extension Manager set) allows for the screen to be displayed and showing text, to satisfy the requirements of the time for clearing the airport security. I assume that the rationale was that if any laptop of the time was able to display text on the screen, no room (or power) would remain for any kind of explosive device. That is probably still the case. I personally have no problem with leaving my Powerbook in Sleep Mode for confirmation of it's function by airport security, and trust that the same attention will be directed to all passengers flying with me. I flew El Al often in the seventies, and found their security, while more thorough than most, was hardly any inconvenience for me, and left me feeling much more comfortable about flying with them. Their very slick raid on Entebbe Airport made me feel even better! If I ever track these utilities down, I will let this list know of it, and would like to post them on a willing FTP site for anyone who wants them. I can't imagine that being a problem. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
