Re: DSL Modem Question
The place to find out if your DSL modem is compatible is whoever is providing the actual DSL connection, which is usually the phone company, who is not necessarily the ISP. I'm using an external DSL modem that isn't on my local phone company's official list on their website, but the seller said it worked, and the phone company confirmed that it would work. The tech support guy said they'd prefer that I use it instead of my old Intel internal PCI modem (in a PC), which IS on their official list. Go figure. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I meant playing from a VIDEO_TS file copy on my hard disk and also playback from a DVD of the original. My 800MHz Quicksilver seems to handle video files okay. My 500MHz Sawtooth will hiccup occasionally but on the whole it does well. The 350 MHz Yikes doesn't do well at all. Looks like mine, OC'd to 450MHz, would be in the same hiccup range as your 500MHz. Adding, taking away QE makes my system about 5% more/less efficient according to Xbench 1.3. This would challenge the 450MHz stamina, noticeably, don't you think? QE on made it hiccup more so when I was using the ATI Radeon 7000ME. What do you think about my using my Seagate 80GB 7200 PATA drive, off the Sonnet Temp ATA100 controller on the PCI bus, versus using the Internal HD interface = ultraATA-33? Probably be the same, unless QE was messing with the PCI bus? Two long shot suggestions: a) Use VLC instead of DVD Player. I've found that VLC usually has lower CPU usage than DVD Player. b) Lower your resolution to 800x600, or 640x480 if you can. Less scaling means less CPU load. I've found VLC 0.8.1 works well for streaming all video from my 450mHz BW G3 to my 30 television via s-video. Any VLC upgrade from this older version results in choppy video with my setup.

I meant to write earlier - sorry. Look on APC's site or on the side of the box. Choose your UPS based on the power requirements of your setup. DO NOT plug your printer into the UPS, as its power requirements are way too high for a UPS. Use a surge strip instead. You'll have to look around to see the voltage required for different devices - you have to add CPU+monitor+peripherals, etc. Altho the box will give you a general idea. I always did get a device that provides battery backup constantly so when power dips, the battery kicks in. It's my understanding that little brownouts put stress on the motherboard, so you don't want your computer experiencing them. This is more of a problem than surges in the power. There's a huge debate on lists that has occurred because some users believe the UPS is not necessary, and a waste of money. So it's not necessary to start that up again! I merely put forth my experience that most of my machines have needed very little maintenance until very old age as my reason to keep purchasing UPS's. BTW, for a home office tower or iMac, you don't need to spend more than about $150. For a top of the line graphics system or video setup, most likely more.

multiple instances of Webkit again
I'm having a recurrence of the problem I had shortly after first using Safari 4 beta. The problem is not with Safari, though--best I can tell. When I have the default browser set to Webkit, and Webkit/Safari is already running, if I click on a link in Mail it will start a new instance of Webkit/Safari. (Last time this happened, just to experiment, I found it would open a 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. instance each time I did this.) If I switch the default browser to Safari I don't get this problem. I tried doing what worked last time: trashing Webkit and emptying the trash. Reset LaunchServices database using Onyx. (I also ran a bunch of Onyx's other cleaning and maintenance options.) Restart the computer. Download Webkit again, but don't run it. Test that using Safari as the default browser, I still don't get the multiple problem while Webkit is on my harddrive. Finally try Webkit. This time the problem is persisting. The problem came back after downloading one of the nightly builds. I suppose if no one can tell me what's going wrong, I'll just get rid of Webkit and quit using it altogether. Any ideas?

Re: This too is most helpful, thanks for helping me evaluate which UPS for my office
I knew about not plugging in laser printers. I just wanted to make sure that this older model (Back-UPS Pro 280) was good enough quality.I had been reading about how UPS's in general don't provide very good quality power in a blackout, so I wanted to make sure I didn't need an upgrade that way. I have two computers upstairs, each on a Back-UPS Pro 280, and then in my basement lab (fiendish experiment division), I have a Back-UPS Pro 420. I don't think American Power Conversion makes either of these models any more. They say they've moved to more energy efficient designs. Does anyone know if the Tripp Lite BC PRO450 is any good? Someone gave me one with a dead battery, and I don't want to buy a new battery if it's not worth using. The Back-UPS's I have all use the same battery, but the Tripp Lite uses a smaller one. I've also heard that these computer UPS's aren't meant for non- computer equipment, such as stereos or aquarium pumps. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

If you are talking about a true UPS which outputs a sine wave that is true. Most UPSes produce what is called a modified sine wave and it is about as ugly as power gets. Splitting hairs a bit, but the term 'true UPS' (aka online UPS) refers to how the power circuit is set up (http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/ext/ups/typesOnLine-c.html), not the power output. I have a pair of APC SmartUPS units (1400 and a 1000) that are not 'true UPS' units (they are line interactive) that output a true sine wave, not the modified variety. A 'true UPS' /could/ output a modified wave, but IMO, it's unlikely that the manufacture of the unit would skimp on this due to the overall higher cost of this design. Visual aid! http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/power/Belkin_F6C1500TWRK_UPS_6.html I ran into this one when I was looking up info on the Belkin 1500VA I had just bought (was an emergency purchase, couldn't afford an APC at the time). Covering another post in the thread regarding APC units... Per APC (http://www.apc.com/solutions/display.cfm?id=0D72DB57-8963-47DA-9ADC4EB3FD07511D): APC's Back-UPS®, Back-UPS Office®, Back-UPS Pro®, and PowerCell® all output a stepped-approximated sine wave when the unit is On Battery. While this kind of waveform is ideal for computers and computer-related equipment, it may not be compatible for other types of loads like motor loads. If you are using non-computer loads with one of the above-mentioned UPSs, consult the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the equipment can run off of a stepped wave. If it can't, then it will require a UPS that outputs a pure sine wave when On Battery. APC UPS models that do output a Pure Sine Wave include: Smart-UPS®, Matrix-UPS®, and the Symmetra® Power Array®. This is why I sprung for some used SmartUPS units, I wanted real sine wave output. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I would love to hear what these people are seeing on their oscilloscopes. Because that is not the waveforms I observe. As Clark Martin said, Most UPSes produce what is called a modified sine wave and it is about as ugly as power gets. How ugly? It can even harm small electric motors. For example, this 120 volt UPS outputs two 200 volts square waves with a spike of up to 270 volts between those square waves. Others called that conditioned power? Well yes, when that is the popular myth and when nobody bothers to provide technical specs. It should bother you that the majority say one thing, but those who actually do this stuff (even look at those waveforms on an oscilloscope) are so few and say something different. When not in battery backup mode, a computer grade UPS connects a computer directly to AC mains. This is when power is 'cleanest'. Why is it called a computer grade UPS? Computer power supplies are so robust as to make even poorest power irrelevant. Power so 'dirty' as to even harm small electric motors and power strip protectors is completely normal and acceptable to a computer power supply. So it is only sufficient as a computer grade UPS. Computer power supply even makes ‘dirty’ UPS power irrelevant. So what protects a UPS internal computer circuits? It also needs a power supply equivalent to what is standard in all computers so that the UPS is also not damage. If AC power is so harmful to a computer, the same power is also destroying the UPS. Mnay if not most who recommend UPSes don’t know any of this; but have heard many popular urban myths. Where is the manufacturer numeric spec that states what others have claimed? Its only purpose is to protect data from blackouts and extremist brownouts. How extreme? Computers must even startup and work normally when incandescent bulbs dim to less than 50% intensity. Another function standard in computer supplies; because computer supplies are required to be that robust. What must your computer be protected from? Blackouts and brownouts can harm data; not hardware. Harmonics, noise, and surges require other solutions. To be deceived, others will assumes all electrical anomalies are same. All are solved by one magic box. It does not work that way. Different anomalies require different solutions. Why do I know this. Whose tasks require using an oscilloscope? And who read those manufacturer specs before posting above facts and numbers? As Clark Martin said, Most UPSes produce what is called a modified sine wave and it is about as ugly as power gets. That means a UPS in battery backup mode may even degrade or be damaged by a connected strip protector. That is why laser printers with electric motors are best not connected to the UPS. Buy a UPS for the one function it really claims to do: provide backup power during blackouts so that data can be saved. Also buy a UPS with more power than you require because its batteries degrade quickly; often within three years if the UPS is only just powerful enough. And appreciate that only a minority actually provided numbers for that so called ‘conditioned’ UPS power. A spike of up to 270 volts is about as ugly as it gets. That spike must not harm any computer because protection already inside every computer is that robust.

Here's one I haven't seen before, but it does a good job of showing the wave outputs: http://www.jkovach.net/projects/powerquality/ The Smart-UPS there has a wave pattern much closer to a sine wave than the Back-UPS. I don't know how much difference this makes in practice, since blackouts are rare here (after we had the power company fix a few things), and tha backup power only lasts long enough to shut down gracefully. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Select File NEw Disk Image and select the optical drive device in the list. When it's done, pop out the original DVD, and click on the Burn icon. Navigate to the disk image you just created and pop in a blank DVD. Don't forget to change Image Format to Master DVD/CD when creating a new image of a disc.

I'll try different DVD media. cliff --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
