Plusnet users - What Gateway programme released
I've written a wee programme (10.5 or above) that simply tells you what gateway you're connected to. It can be found at: <http://www.ursaminorbeta.co.uk/gateway.zip> and the source code at: <http://www.ursaminorbeta.co.uk/gatewaySource.zip> and I hope Plusnet don't mind me, er, 'borrowing' their logo..:... 6 Feb 2010 09:40

Odd sound problem on my G4 Powerbook
For the past 24 hours every time I boot up my Powerbook (1.67, 15in, Leopard), the sound control doesn't work and there is no sound until I re-boot and reset PRAM. Obviously something is amiss, but what. Any suggestions? Could it be that some hardware is on its way out? As I say, this happens every time. ... 5 Feb 2010 16:14

EVA Air and Macbook Pro
I'm flying EVA Air, LHR to BKK in premium economy (which has power for laptops), Boeing 777-300. I have ordered the magsafe airline adapter, but has anyone here flown in this aircraft and knows what cables/adapters I need? I know from seatguru.com it is 110v AC, but what plug do I need to fit? I don't want to tak... 3 Feb 2010 07:15

Sawtooth G4 PSU disaster
Hello all, I've been away from this group for most of the last 10 years, whilst I have been living in the USA. Now I'm back, and my first posting is the predictable one: I forgot to switch the PSU back to 230v before plugging in my trusty Sawtooth G4; there was a pop and a faint smell of burning and the co... 2 Feb 2010 17:21

iPad and USB-power
I noticed that the iPad has no charger and gets its power via USB. Great, I thought. No more chargers to lug around, just an iPod cable and you're done. Hmm. This thing is said to run for 10 hours. It has a 25Wh battery. This means it draws 2.5 W on average. This seems incredibly low, but let's assume this is co... 2 Feb 2010 17:19

New iMac
I'm thinking of changing my G5 iMac PPc for the new 21.5 iMac in a month or so. Looking at the spec I see that it comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I like and use MacSoup for the newsgroups and with no number keypad it must make life difficult. Any comments from MacSoup users? Peter -- He spoke wi... 2 Feb 2010 17:18

iPlayer Downloader broke (again!)
