G5 Troubles
I picked up a G5 dual 2.0 PCI-x a couple of days ago. The hard drive had been wiped, but it started right up to the flashing ? I stuck in a retail 10.3 disk and installed and then upgraded to 10.4.11. It ran for a day or so and even successfully started Classic. Then, after a day of running properly, it won't launch. It does start with the proper Chime but then shows only a blank screen for several minutes before the fans gradually increase speed to max. I have: Reset NVRAM in Open Firmware: No change. Reset PRAM; No change. Installed new PRAM battery: No change. I opened it up, wiped all the fans clean, blew out a bit of dust. No change. I am looking for ideas from anyone who has more experience with this machine that I do. I have taken apart and put into operation most other types of Macs, from a 128 through DP Mirror Door, and a few PowerBooks, so I thought I might be able to save this machine from the scrappers.

LED (liquid crystal display) screens can be lit from the back by fluorescent or light emitting diodes (LED) or I believe edge lit by LEDs. The primary advantage of LEDs seems to be that they can be adjusted to give better contrast and use much less power than other lighting methods. As for providing a near exact reproduction, then you might be needing a high end monitor. If you are an artist (and I am certainly NOT!) and using paints, I would think that you could easily do with a reasonably good monitor.

The article seemed to say that the allocation was such that the sum of 5 devices consumed the allocation of power to one port. Thus, plugging in a hub took one allocation and each port of the hub got one. I have never seen a USB hub with more than 4 ports. Seemed to make sense.

Better output from a PCI Video card, such as a PCI Radeon 7000 (Mac Edition or flashed PC card). Then you will have faster and better video output.

Not as easy as the scanner for constant lighting, focus, etc, but it can work. Buy a good one and get to work. I don't know about needing a good one? It seems to me that any old scanner that you can make work with your computer will be good enough quality unless you're needing special software bundled with high-end scanners to remove artifacts, correct faded colors or focus, etc. I've bought USB scanners for between $2 and $10 total that can scan 4,800 dpi (ppi). I haven't compared the quality of the output, but somehow I imagine it's like .mp3 audio, I doubt the average person could see the difference between an average scan and a good one (of identical resolution bit depth). One other thought, scanner output is typically gigantic files that would need to be converted into some sort of compressed format, whereas most digital cameras can generate a reasonably compressed file immediately. The general rule-of-thumb I've heard is 200 pixels-per- inch minimally, meaning if you had an original photo that was 8 x 10 you'd need to be at 1,600 x 2,000 pixels minimally for the entire image. Most scanners would be many, many multiples higher than this, and you might want to dial down the quality of a scanner to get a smaller output file, but if you were photographing the prints you'd likely want to frame the image in nearer the highest quality available on the camera. Well, my good one is an Epson Perfection 3200 Pro that I got at a GoodWill Outlet for $5.00. It's main advantage is the software (downloaded from Epson) and you can scan at whatever resolution you want. It is FireWire and fast. I really don't believe, especially for any significant number, that I would enjoy photographing various sized photos with a digital camera. trying to hold them flat and square and getting good results would try my patience. The photos would most likely go back in the shoe box!

You may find such bargains on the secondary market, but you will have a hard time finding a brick and mortar store where you can lay your hands on an actual machine.

Re: Extra HDD

Any particular place or order to install in the case? Should the jumpers be set to MASTER or SLAVE since it will have an OS on it? I seem to recall there are places for 4 drives in my MDD. If you have just the original drive, then the choice is simple. Attach it to the already installed cable. Settings. Hmmm. I am foggy here, but I think the jumper should be cable select.

Re: Which html email program

I need your guidance on how to do this G4 PPC -- Guidance. Now there's a dangerous query! Depends on what you want your recipients to see. If you want them to see it as you formatted the newsletter, it is probably best to produce the newsletter in something like AppleWorks and then Print to PDF and send the pdf document as an attachment to an email. This is what my wife did for years. Seemed to work fairly well, except for a few 'doze users who couldn't seem to open the file due to their security settings. If the specific appearance is not too important, you could just compose the newsletter in Mail and send it off. Just how it looks then depends a lot on the email client of the recipient and the settings the recipient happens to have active.

Well, maybe no size limit, but the system is ATA, the old type (parallel vs serial) so I don't think you will find tb drives unless you have a SATA PCI card.

I did look in Library-Mail-Mailboxes but there's no Drafts.mbox in there either. Many other mailboxes, but not that one. Anne Keller Smith --- Maybe this will help: Rebuilding a mailbox In some cases, you might need to rebuild a mailbox to update the list of messages in the mailbox. For example, if email messages appear to be missing or garbled, or if you can't find all relevant messages by searching. To rebuild a selected mailbox, choose Mailbox Rebuild. For IMAP accounts, locally cached messages and attachments are discarded and the messages and attachments are downloaded again from the server to your hard disk. Your mailbox appears empty until the download is complete. This action is recommended for fast Internet connections only.
