Ouch. I'm so sorry..
I work as a mechanic at a bike shop (hence the lack of brand new G4 and
Cinema Display ;-) Needless to say, my bikes are just OK-nothing special.
Today I demo'ed a $3000 LeMond Victoire titanium road bike at lunch.
It was the most incredible road ride I have ever had. I'm almost certain I
got it up around 35mph at one point, the cars weren't passing me anymore,
and the bike had plenty left. It was smooth, silky, rode excellent and was
very snappy in its response to rider input. It was truly an 'out of budget'
experience for me :-D I have never ridden any bike that was so stable,
snappy, smooth and fast. Wow.
Come on in to Gregg's Bellevue Cycle and let us set you up with a nice
commuter bike, you will be very happy :-) It won't cost three grand
either..
OK, bike snobbery over. Anyway, I think my crash after icon march is fixed
now that I'm back to my stock OS 8.6 and just the original 1gig drive that
came with the J700. The Compaq seems to have died somehow-it spins up, and
the old 7.5 era Drive SetupSC sees and tests it OK (and it passes) however
it doesn't show up on the desktop. Is there any software I can use to wake
it up? There was nothing hugely critical on it, but I'd like to do some
small time video stuff and that drive was the only one I had that could do
~6MB/sec, enough to smoothly capture DV from the firewire card.
Is the Compaq drive just toast or is there something I can do with software
to wake it up?
Thanks
Bolton
