Thanks to everyone who responded to my late night cry of anguish over my power adapter. No, the computer wasn't plugged in when the little dickens got to it. Puupy is a pick pocket, gotta watch 'im or he will get things out of coat pockets and purses. The gear bag was sitting on the floor, he stuck his head in and grabbed it, and crawled under a table with it. All it took was a few good bites. One more bite and the plug would have come off completely. What's so funny is that of ALL the things in the gear bag, he chose THAT specific item.
Once a long time ago I had a pet rabbit who was box trained, so he was allowed to hop around the house at will until one day we came home to find him laying on his side under the piano bench, panting and shaken, some plugged-in cords nearby showing nibble marks. Hot pepper and alum did nothing to discourage him, so his days of free roaming were over. What I could never figure out was why he kept doing it, as if he liked being shocked. I need to read over all the IR related posts, because my guess is you've already covered my issues, but here's where I am with the IR situation. I have the 5300 and I have a 6500 desktop. They both run 8.6 I have a Farallon IRdock, but I was never able to get the 6500 to recognize it. About six months ago I got frustrated and threw all the IR stuff in a box, where it sat until just yesterday. The Farallon documentation that came with the dock was only minimally helpful. I can't find any documentation online. I don't know why the 6500 won't see the dock. Okay, let me see if I understand the gist of things: the 5300 uses IRtalk, while most things use IRDA. So the 5300 will not be able to IR with other things unless they support IRtalk. Would we be able to IR between a 5300 and a 1400? -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
