Incorrect. The tires are not made of pure rubber. They are made from a blend of rubber, synthetics, metallics, etc. Then there are those pesky steel belts. IOW, your tires are *great* conductors. They are (luckily!) NOT insulators. You don't get electrocuted, as long as you're inside the car, because the current is passing thru the metal chassis, thru the tires, to ground. Some of the current is going thru you, but it's a trivial amount, as electricity prefers the better route - thru the tires to ground. It might be worth mentioning that the car acts as a Faraday (sp?) box whereas most of the voltage/current remains on the outer perimeter. The way out of this is NOT TO STEP OUT as that will complete the electrical circuit and you will be toast. Correct. If you were to step out of the car, while still in contact with the chasis, then the current would use you as the better route to ground. That would be bad.

So maybe it has a problem waking up? I agree with others ... having a machine Sleep while something like a Software Update is in progress, is asking for trouble. I usually stop everything I'm doing, and only do the update ... keeping it simple. The other thing I thought of: I was told once it was a good idea to put the original video card in when doing a software update and/or re- installation of OS X. In my case, a Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz with a GeForce4 MX. Then, after all updates are complete and the machine is running acceptibly, replace the video card with any upgrade I had done (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition). Any PCI card is suspect of causing problems with waking from Sleep. Unless it states it supports Sleep ... The only solution is to set the machine to Never Sleep.

Re: Help! External HD vanished from desktop
Yes, John, the drive was a fairly new one and OWC may well replace it if I can find the receipt and warranty among my mounds of paperwork. But replacing the drive is a minor issue to me compared to retrieving the data on the dead one. I don't blame OWC for the current state of computer technology; they are no worse and probably better than most companies, though their tech support can stink at times; the owner is not hiring very knowledgeable geeks anymore, probably to save money. But I've got an account with them and it's a lot more convenient for me to buy a drive online with a few mouse clicks than it is to get in my car and go off to town to buy one at a computer store, which can waste a good part of a day. Thanks for the freezer suggestion, Al. I've heard of that treatment, too. Freezing things shrinks them and frees up stuck parts temporarily. My drive isn't stuck, though; it spins up freely, but it just can't read the data anymore. I'll try it, though (I'll try anything) if Disk Warrior doesn't do any good. I'm still waiting for DW to arrive in the (snail) mail, since they don't deliver the upgrades online.

Re: Quicksilver Freezes during software update
Thanks for all the replies so far! Just to be clear, it didn't go to sleep DURING the software update, only after the updates were finished and the computer was idle. There aren't any extra PCI devices, and I'm pretty sure the video card is stock. It's an NVidia Geforce 2MX. I just checked to see what the computer was doing, not having done anything with it since it froze when it woke up. It had gone back to sleep, and upon waking it up, and waiting a minute the computer seemed fine! I'm running software update just to see what it does. Next thing will be testing the ram again. I really need it to be able to sleep.

I suspect that is Mail showing your and your friends pictures from Address Book.app. If that is the case, they are not being sent, they just appear there on your Mac. Again if it is pics from Address Book and you really don't want to see them, delete the pics from Address Book. Let us know if that solves the mystery. :-) Tina -- iMac 20 USB 2 1.25GHz G4 2GB RAM GeForce FX 5200 Ultra 64MB DDR Gnome/Ubuntu 10.10 Power Mac June 04 2GHz G5DP 8GB RAM GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL 256MB Leopard 10.5.8 PowerBook G4 15 HiRes DLSD 1.67GHz G4 2GB RAM Radeon 9700 128MB DDR Leopard 10.5.8 -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

When you install OS X on any Mac that has a built-in webcam it takes a photo of the person sitting at the computer and uses that photo as the ~user login icon, which is also copied into Address Book along with the name, address, phone, info that was provided during the setup process. It's strange that Apple places small arrows beside some of the setup/registration info fields and seems to indicate that these fields are required, but in reality you can skip or leave everything blank except the short name, which is the only requirement (yes, you can not have a password, i.e. blank password field, but it still requires you to hit a Return or Enter rather than just skipping the password process). I think the installer actually asks about taking a picture, but the default state is to take the photo, and it happens when you press Continue, so some people probably don't notice when it happens. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Beating a dead horse? - Flashing PC video cards for a Power Mac
It's been a while since I looked into this, and I'm not finding much now. I recently brought my old 733 Digital Audio back to life. Currently it's sporting a modified 5200 from a G5, but after digging in my parts pile, I've found a 9600XT from Sapphire. Looking around on google, I'm only finding old and apparently abandoned web sites, if they even exist any longer and not much in the way of archives on archive.org So, does anyone know of an active site, IRC channel, or even still have the info for doing this? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
