Subject: (Q) Displaying HTML Formatted Messages

I must have inadvertently changed some setting in my browser (Netscape
4.7r) which I also use as my email application and I can't figure out
how to reset it. The situation is this: When I download the Info-Mac
digest, the individual messages do not show up in-line in the document.
Instead there are references to them. In order to read one, I have to
click on its icon and select "Save image as ..". A similar thing
happened when I received the latest Apple newsletter, i.e., there was
only an icon. When I followed the above procedure I got a message saying
"You appear to be using an email application that won't properly display
the graphical (or HTML) version of our newsletter."

How can I reset Netscape to accept and properly display HTML formatted
email? I can't believe that a browser is incapable of doing so.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

I have a 7100/66 that won't start. Pressing the power key on the keyboard or
the power button at the back right of the main box just results in a click -
the power light comes on on the keyboard and the indicator on the box gets
power but almost immediately power is shut of and the Mac won't go any
further - it won't even get to the start-up chime. The Mac was fine, it just
suddenly shut down last Friday and now it won't start. PRAM battery is still
showing 3.6v so should be fine - is about 2 years old. Before I rip it
apart, has anyone seen this before and was there a solution?

Subject: [*] Pitbull for Hotline 1.0.1


Pitbull is distributed as $7,- (US) shareware. Pitbull is a simple but 
powerful download-only client used to retrieve files from Hotline 
servers. Pitbull can automatically recover from virtually any connection 
problem that can occur during a file download without any user 
interference. And thanks to its enhanced partial file support, you can 
resume any partial download you started without having to remember from 
what server you were downloading it, or what login name or password you 
were using. Like the proverbial ÓpitbullÔ, once it puts its ÓteethÔ into 
a file, it will not stop until the download is complete or until you call 
it off. There are three ways you can start download a file with Pitbull:

1. You can use PitbullŘs built-in download dialog to logon to a Hotline 
server, browse its files, and select the file that you want to download.

2. Pitbull can also handle special web links that enable you to download 
a file directly from a webpage, much like conventional file downloads. An 
example of a website that is currently offering Pitbull web links in 
their Hotline file search engine is www.hlsearch.com.

3. And last but not least, HotFind (a personal Hotline file search 
application available at http://www.tracker-tracker.com/hotfind) now has 
embedded Pitbull support, allowing Pitbull to also automatically download 
the results of a search from HotFind.

Changes in version 1.0.1
-Fixed the link to the online order page
-Fixed a bug in the short cuts when running on a 68k Macintosh.

Subject: [A] G3 Powerbook and external monitor resolution problem

I don't know the whole answer but I suspect it has to do with the 
Monitors control panel and whether resolution choices are set to 
Recommended or All.  I wonder also whether it is in any way connected 
to my previous post about my Appletalk configuration changing when I 
use my Powerbook with different outside world connections.  Do you 
see the problem when you have moved between using the Powerbook with 
its own screen vs. being plugged in to the external?

==========
Dear Gurus,

hoping someone can help me with the following dilemma:

I have a G3 Powerbook (bronze) which I connect to a 19" DELL P991 monitor.
On random occasions, the  number of available resolutions on my control
strip changes. Sometimes it lets me run 1152 x 870 (at millions of colour)
however most times it only shows the standard 640, 800, 600, 1024 and 1960
resolutions, but nothing inbetween them. I have no idea what is going on
with it.

Sometimes I'll be running it at 1152, then after waking it from sleep it
just pops the res back to 1024 and 1152 is not even available on the control
stip anymore.

The Powerbook has 8mb of VRAM and can run a 19" screen at 1152 (because I
have done it many times) but there seems to be no rhyme or reason why
sometimes the resolutions are availabe and sometimes they are not.

I have tried the following:

- update ATI drivers
- update display drivers
- zap PRAM
- start mac first, then monitor and vice versa

If anyone can help with this I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Monib

Subject: [GRR] Bloody PowerBook Power Mgmt!

One month after I obtained my WallStreet PowerBook, it lost its 
ability to acquire electricity from the wall socket, recognizing only 
the battery, which shortly went the way of all batteries that don't 
get recharge-juice, and I had to put it in the shop, a miserable 
excursion into the grey world of authorized repair from which my new 
toy did not emerge for another complete month.

Today I find myself in the opposite situation:  it knows AC when it 
sees it (from the other side of the little power converter at least) 
but knows not its battery.  This is admittedly decidedly less of a 
bummer than the first go-around, since mostly I am close to an 
electrical outlet, and I could, at least theoretically, continue like 
this indefinitely.

But why the hell isn't it able to boot and/or stay booted when I 
unplug it and force it to use the battery?

a)  Yes, I see four green dots when I press the button.  It is fully charged.

b)  Yeah, just for the heck of it, I ran Apple's PB G3 Battery Reset 
and zeroed it out.  It quickly recharged.

c)  The PowerBook knows when it has the battery in a bay, either bay. 
The little charge icon in the menu bar comes up showing a fully 
charged battery.  If I pull it from the bay it is replaced by an 
empty battery icon with an X through it.

d)  Yeah, I reset the power management thingie using 
fn-Ctrl-Shift-Powerkey.  Many times.  The green light lights at the 
base of the screen when I do that.

But it won't boot if I unplug it from the A/C.  No chime, no HD 
spin-up, NOTHING.  If I yank the cord after boot (and it shows that 
it sees a fully charged battery in the bay), instant death, like 
yanking the power cord from a desktop Mac.

I have heard recurrent rumors that the original problem was due to a 
bad solder that was endemic among WallStreet 300s, that the 
motherboard-to-powermgmt thingumabob had a tendency to lose its 
connectivity.  Do the symptoms I describe sound reminiscent of any 
recurrent design-glitch phenomena that any of y'all have heard of?

I am not in dire straits.  I don't boot on the subway and no longer 
ride the LIRR, so absence of battery-enabled boot is merely annoying 
in the extreme.  But it's a PowerBook.  It is supposed to work 
without an available plug-in!

Subject: [Q] Appletalk resetting to other connection mode

I carry my Powerbook (with OS 8.6) with me and use Location Manager 
to set me up for home, office, or whatever.  I also use Eudora and 
have it automatically check mail every 15 minutes.  My problem is 
that the Appletalk sometimes changes my configuration so that, for 
example, my Ethernet configuration no longer is set to connect via 
Ethernet but instead through the modem port.  This happens when I use 
my computer without specifically changing to my a location and may or 
may not be connected to processing email.

Any idea what's happening and how to prevent it?

TIA,

Ken

Subject: Boot off a FireWire HD?

FireWire Questions:

I'm running OS 8.6 on a PowerBook G3 (the original "Wallstreet" G3 
from late 1998). A couple of months ago, my original 8 GB internal HD 
died, so I upgraded to a new Toshiba 12 GB model.

Unfortunately, I screwed up when I formatted it, and ended up with a 
12 GB HFS drive with blocksizes that make it act like an 8 GB drive 
again (doh!). When I re-do it real soon now, does anyone have any 
suggestions? I was thinking of going with HFS+ and two partitions, 
one 8 GB and one 4 GB, but never having used an HFS+ format, I'm not 
sure the partitioning is even necessary.

Anyway, I needed to get a backup HD (DAT is way too slow), so I'm 
thinking of buying a FireWire PCMCIA card and a FireWire hard disk 
(30 GB ought to do it and the prices just dropped on the units that 
will be available in a week).

Questions:

1. I've found a FireWire adapter for around $110 from Western Digital.
    Does anyone know of any lower priced cards?

2. Does anyone know if these FireWire cards are Type II cards?
    Sales reps haven't been very definitive on this. The Wallstreet has
    two PCMCIA slots, the lower one holds the Type II DVD decoder card,
    leaving room for one other Type II card.
      2a. Macally         (Mac only)
      2b. Newer Tech      (Mac only)
      2c. Orange Micro    (PC/Mac)
      2d. Western Digital (PC/Mac)
    Looking at them so far, 2d is $110 and works on both platforms,
    which could come in handy later. If anyone has one of these, please
    let me know what you think.

3. Can I boot off a FireWire HD?
    I want to install MacOS 9 and start migrating software, but I can't
    do what I need to if I can't boot off the FireWire drive. If I
    can't then I have to bag this dream and go with a much more
    expensive SCSI HD, which would suck because i then couldn't also
    benefit from all the cool stuff one can do with a FireWire dingus.

Thanks for your collective wisdom,

    dave

Subject: discontinued software

I am seeking a Mac version of Print Shop Deluxe. Does anyone know of a 
source of outdated, orphaned, or discontinued Mac software?

A disabled friend who has difficulty writing is very attached to using this 
program to make greeting cards, but her copy has mysteriously died. (We are 
on different sides of the world, so I cannot poke at her G3 Mac and try to 
revive it. I am sure if she had the installation disks, she would 
reinstall.)

Broderbund has sold the program to Mattel, which no longer provides a Mac 
version. They did very nicely send my friend the Windows version, but . . .

I did find a place called Software & Stuff that had Print Shop Deluxe in 
their list of Mac software. Unfortunately, it turns out that their site is 
very disorganized; half the stuff in the Mac list is actually Windows 
software, including Print Shop.

Are there other sites that deal in surplus, discontinued, etc. software?

My friend is sufficiently distressed that she is thinking of getting a 
Windows machine, just to run that program. A far better solution than 
coping with the eccentricities of Windowns, it seems to me, would be to 
learn another program that has the same functions.

So, as an alternative, can anyone suggest a program that has card-making 
functions similar to those of Print Shop?

Subject: Eudora is a bust

After reading abrody's comments on Eudora, I decided to try it out. So
much so that I went to the paid version. What a mistake. Where shall I
begin-----,
1: UGLY GUI
2: Non-intuitive
3: One crash after another
4: Poorly written help manual
5: Doesn't work with PopChar
6: cryptic
7: --did I mention UGLY GUI?

OK, so beauty doesn't transfer to a good mail app, but it reallt strains
the eye to look at it and work in it for any length of time. Microsloth
is not a bad email client, but IE is not so good. I've gravitated to old
faithful Communicator. The newest version renders pages faster and it
comes with an------email program built in.
If Eudora is the STATE of the art, I'm moving tomorrow.

I have a 7100/66 that won't start. Pressing the power key on the keyboard or
the power button at the back right of the main box just results in a click -
the power light comes on on the keyboard and the indicator on the box gets
power but almost immediately power is shut of and the Mac won't go any
further - it won't even get to the start-up chime. The Mac was fine, it just
suddenly shut down last Friday and now it won't start. PRAM battery is still
showing 3.6v so should be fine - is about 2 years old. Before I rip it
apart, has anyone seen this before and was there a solution?

I often use the snapshot feature (CMD-SHFT-3 or -4) to grab network 
trouble-shooting info, configuration details, etc. The resultant 
files (named "Picture 1", "Picture 2" and so on) are placed at the 
root of my startup disk. This NOT where I want them to go - is there 
any way to specify a default folder?

Gee, I think it's a lot easier to add a Mac to a Windows NT network, than
it is to add a PC.
