Very cute grandchildren - as are mine, of course. We are heading to Alaska next Friday for the birth of our latest granddaughter, with another on the way via our daughter in Atlanta.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
That's weird. I have an older laptop with USB1.1 ports and have had no problem plugging in an external 1 TB harddrive, 4 gig memory stick, two different USB printers and an HP camera. All of them said 'requires USB2'. From what I understand, most everything USB2 is backward compatible with USB1, (with the exception of some things that may try to draw more power from the port then it can provide) it just does the information transfer slower. That said I imagine that anything that absolutely requires fast info transfer in order to work probably won't work quite right but stuff like memory sticks, cameras, harddrives and printers should not need any converters or different cables in order to work. At least in my experience with all of the mentioned items that were labeled USB2. The only time a converter would even help is in the case of a desktop where you will get faster performance by adding a new USB2 card into a free slot. If it is on a laptop where the USB port can't be added to a free slot or if the 'converter' is connected to the USB1 port that is already on the computer there will be no difference in the speed with which the info is transfered because the bottleneck is in the USB1 port and a converter' or cable plugged into it cannot overcome that, though it may be able to limit or prevent the item from drawing too much power and possibly damaging the hardware, if it is designed with that in mind. I was told that the only way around this is if the hardware is such that there is the possibility of upgrading the software driver to be able to then transfer info at USB2 speeds. However that would only be possible if the manufacture could and would upgrade the driver or if you yourself are able to do that. That is way beyond my capabilities. Most of this is from personal experience and the rest from talking to various computer 'Geeks'.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
By converter I really meant to suggest a way to overcome the PHYSICAL difference between the USB 2 and the USB 1 ports. All of the ports on my new computer are USB 2 (thin, flat, ~1/2 X ~1/4); the USB 1 port on my laser printer is ~5/16 X ~1/4 and rounded on one side. There's no way that I can operate a USB 1 device with my computer without some way to convert the physical connections between the two to allow the electrons to flow freely between them. I can't physically plug a USB 1 plug into my computer; I HAVE to use some type of converter (cable or otherwise) to connect a device with a USB 1 plug to my computer. Of course, if the USB 1 device has a plug that will fit into a USB 2 port, I would expect it to work fine without any converter.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
USB is USB, but there are several different connectors. The only real difference is speed, and believe me, USB 1.1 is SLOW. Power draw is limited to 500mA per port, so if you want to power devices off a hub plugged into a computer, you really have to get a powered hub, and some hard drive cases have a dual plug to get more juice. Needless to say, two plugs into a hub without external power is limited to 500mA anyway... I vastly prefer FireWire, but you do have to be careful with it -- it can short between the power and signal lines and fry things while USB usually won't. I bought a new printer (actually, a broken used one now fixed) because I couldn't use my Epson Photo EX with my new Macs, then found that there are USB to parallel converters that work just fine with it, as does Gutenprint so I now have a duplicate printer I'll have more soon, as I'm trying to locate a pigment ink BW photo printer to do duplicate photo albums for the family -- we have boxes of photographs, negative, and slides going back to the 1920s (and maybe earlier -- when were 116 cameras first availabe?) and everyone wants a copy of the good ones. I'm printing on archival paper with good pigment inks once I get this organized -- the original negatives and prints from the 1930s to the 1950s are still in near perfect shape, and I want my new prints to be as good.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
I've used 1.1 to 2.0 before, but I seem to be having a problem with the earlier 1.0 to 2.0. Problem is, this old comp doesn't have a CD burner either, or I'd just burn the info I want and swap it over that way. If I can't get the stick to work in the old 1.0 usb port, I might see if I can pick up an old CD burner somewhere, for a one time shot of getting everything off the old comp before fully retiring it.

If I can't get the stick to work in the old 1.0 usb port, I might see if I can pick up an old CD burner somewhere, for a one time shot of getting everything off the old comp before fully retiring it.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Digital camera
SL202 is the model listed on the camera, strangely it isn't on Samsung's website other than in a press release, BestBuy's site has it. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9218615type=productid=1218061795648 I paid $129 for the camera and $18 for a 4GB memory card. You NEED the memory card, the camera only has like 8MB of internal memory. I suppose I'll get used to the color but its bright blue, looks almost Fisher Price...

I have an older laptop with USB1.1 ports and have had no problem plugging in an external 1 TB harddrive, 4 gig memory stick, two different USB printers and an HP camera. All of them said 'requires USB2'. From what I understand, most everything USB2 is backward compatible with USB1, (with the exception of some things that may try to draw more power from the port then it can provide) it just does the information transfer slower. That said I imagine that anything that absolutely requires fast info transfer in order to work probably won't work quite right but stuff like memory sticks, cameras, harddrives and printers should not need any converters or different cables in order to work. At least in my experience with all of the mentioned items that were labeled USB2. The only time a converter would even help is in the case of a desktop where you will get faster performance by adding a new USB2 card into a free slot. If it is on a laptop where the USB port can't be added to a free slot or if the 'converter' is connected to the USB1 port that is already on the computer there will be no difference in the speed with which the info is transfered because the bottleneck is in the USB1 port and a converter' or cable plugged into it cannot overcome that, though it may be able to limit or prevent the item from drawing too much power and possibly damaging the hardware, if it is designed with that in mind. I was told that the only way around this is if the hardware is such that there is the possibility of upgrading the software driver to be able to then transfer info at USB2 speeds. However that would only be possible if the manufacture could and would upgrade the driver or if you yourself are able to do that. That is way beyond my capabilities. Most of this is from personal experience and the rest from talking to various computer 'Geeks'.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
Well, I HAVE been wrestling with the problem of transfering info from the old Win 98 computer to the new Win Vista computer. All of the instructions with the new one say, Use Windows Easy Transfer (WET), and for Win 98, Install WET on the '98 computer by installing program with disc or download from microsoft. com. Well, I don't have the disc, and the Microsoft site doesn't have the WET for '98 on the site any more. 'Called 92-year-old lunch friend and computer gurru (he's probably had a dozen or more computers and not a typicle 92-year-old; even owned a computer store and ISP, etc., for a while) and asked him if he may have the cable and program. He brought me the A to A cable and said he thought he had the WET program, but he can't find it. I'm afraid the cable he gave me may not really be a bridge cable (no hump or bulge anywhere on it), so I haven't plugged it in. At Staples, I purchased another transfer cable that was supposed to bridge the 2 computers, but it turns out the cable is for Win 98SE to Vista; again, my old one is Win 98 - can't get it to work. Anybody have a Windows Easy Transfer cable and disc that I may borrow/rent/buy? (One that'll bridge Win 98 to Vista, that is.) BTW, I have moved a lota files a few at a time via a flash drive.

Re: [MBZ] how fast does Rusty deliver stuff?
how long something takes is generally no mystery. it has to do mostly with where the stuff is. there's lots of stuff in california and florida, so if you live there you generally get your parts fast. i can only talk for online orders, but i'd say 80% of california and florida orders are delivered within 24 hours. that's becasue that's where the parts are! now if you live in idaho, unless you pay for next day air or the order is big enough and lucrative enough for me to pay for next day air, YOU AIN'T GETTING YOUR STUFF IN 24 HOURS. not all parts are in california or florida though. for example, if you simply must have beru wires assembled by beru because your mechanic told you that only this can help you and that beru wires not put together by beru will kill you, you might have to wait a week if you are in california as the parts might only be in jersey. and if the parts are only in germany, you can wait longer. it's honest to goodness not mysterious nor complex On Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 9:52 PM, Wonko the Sane don.b...@gmail.com wrote: Nope.

I have a LAN with the Desktop, a Laptop in an adjoining room and a printer attached to the desktop. The cable modem is attached to the router the to the desktop and laptop - I was thinking the Ext HD might perform better if attached to router - - is that correct? I'll need a cable converter to switch from USB to Ethernet but those are easy to get. Would it run faster? Be more secure? Make no difference?

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
Maybe; 'don't know. The new cabinet is small - roughly 13 X 10 X 4. I do see some empty space inside in the back part of the cabinet. How big is the old hard drive? Would it just plug in to some port inside the cabinet? BTW, there is a spare bay on the front of the new cabinet with a spring-loaded door labeled HP Pocket Media Drive Bay. I can see a type B USB port at the rear of the bay. This bay is roughly 3 1/4 X 3/4 X 4. Could the old hard drive go there?

Re: [MBZ] top loading washer
We just put a load in it, I am amazed at the very little amount of water it put in there. In fact, you can open the door in the first 8 minutes and we did, and the cloths are somewhat wet, but there does not seem to be any loose water in the tub like you would expect. When it started, it started putting water in, for probably a minute or less, then that was it. Amazing. Craig McCluskey wrote: On Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:43:07 -0500 Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
Christmas morning, my 2004 vintage computer refused to boot, with two different power supplies. Probably a bad capacitor on the M/B. So I buy a new Compaq (with dual core processor and USB 1.x, what's up with that?) and stick in the hard drive from the old computer. Do you think there should be a wizard for copying files and settings from the old hard drive to the new one? Would have been nice, but nooo, MSFT only provided me with a wizard to cable the new computer to the dead one and run a slow transfer across the cable.

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
Wilton, You will probably need an IDE to SATA converter if you want to use the old hard drive in the new PC. I'd say buy or borrow an IDE (aka ATA or PATA) to USB cable, disassemble the old computer, unscrew and unplug the hard drive (probably 3.5 x 5 x 1) and then plug it in to the IDE connector, then the USB port.Windows should automatically recognize it as a new drive. I doubt you'd be happy long term with the Windows wizard; even if it transferred all your settings correctly there is a good chance it will miss some file or other. Much better to do it by hand.

The networked storage will seem faster than USB on the laptop but probably not the desktop, if I'm reading your setup correctly. (USB always on desktop, laptop uses networked file sharing from desktop?) You're talking about something more complicated than USB to ethernet, you need a USB host (like a computer) for that to work. There are widgets that allow you to put a SATA or IDE drive on an ethernet network - sometimes they double as routers - but they aren't particularly cheap, at least compared to USB versions. Consumer models typically run small Linux distros and appear to attached machines as Windows file shares, at least. I can dig up a couple of product links if you still want to go this route.

[MBZ] OT: lizards and crickets
Anyone have lizards as pets? My oldest has a bearded dragon, which he got a few months ago. We just recently took in another from an owner who no longer wanted it. Their diet includes insects, typically crickets. I can order them on-line in quantities of 500 for a fraction of the price of buying them individually at the local pet store. But it only makes sense if they live long enough for the two lizards to consume them all. Probably at least 5 weeks. Is it possible to keep crickets alive that long?

Re: [MBZ] OT: lizards and crickets
From: Allan Streib Anyone have lizards as pets? My oldest has a bearded dragon, which he got a few months ago. We just recently took in another from an owner who no longer wanted it. Their diet includes insects, typically crickets. I can order them on-line in quantities of 500 for a fraction of the price of buying them individually at the local pet store. But it only makes sense if they live long enough for the two lizards to consume them all. Probably at least 5 weeks. Is it possible to keep crickets alive that long?

Re: [MBZ] 190D fuel filter change

Re: [MBZ] OT -new computer
I think mechanical hard drives will be obsolete soon. Solid state will be the norm soon, as soon as costs drop a little more. Lower power, much faster access. Don't know what the form factors are. They've been saying that for something like 20 years, since non-rotating mass storage was first made. (Bubble memory?) The thing is, the rotating media guys just don't give up and go away, they've managed to stay well ahead of the cost curve of solid-state storage on a per-byte basis, for normal usage. Magnetic storage absolutely kills flash memory on a number of rewrites basis. Effectively unlimited writes versus 10^5 for NOR flash, or as bad as 10^3 (?) for NAND. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
