Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
You had a BBS? How cool. Have you submitted it to here
I just looked at the San Diego section of that list. So many boards I remember. I ran a board that was part of the CMS system in the middle 80's. Must have been 1987 or 88 for when CMS: The Outpost was running.
I don't even remember what my number was (though I think it's available in an online archive somewhere). Lot of names I recall on the local section, though.
Have new computer. Can post from home again.
I might be looking for an external hard drive and searching through the thread, I found a post by ND: NoiseDesign "Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?" Jan 13, 2005 6:27:42 pm PST
That page isn't showing anything. Can you name the hard drives you were talking about?
Has anyone running OS X made an iPhoto book? And if so, what did you think of the quality?
To tommyrot, the specs on the workable ancient laptops about my house:
the luggable, NEC PowerMate Plus:
80286
DOS 6.22
109 meg HD
according to the MEM command, 639K memory
No information on how old it is, the last time a volume was created on it was 1996, I believe.
2nd, Zenith Data Systems Z*note 325L
the earliest inventory sticker says 1993
once ran Win3.1
386, I think
DOS 6.20
121 meg HD
according to MEM command, 655,360 mem
I came home from vacation to find the main TiVo , a Series 2, dead. When you power it on, the LEDs turn yellow/orange, but nothing is output on video.
From what I can find at Weaknees, the culprit is probably the power supply. Before I order the non-refundable supply, is there any way to verify whether it's the power supply or the motherboard that died?
Ooh. I look forward to the answers to both Betsy and Teppy's questions. Also, Betsy, if one determined the cause, where would one order a new powersupply from, and roughly how much would it be?
You can get a new power supply from Weaknees.com for $50.00. That includes ground shipping; I'm desperate, so I anted for faster service. I went through the troubleshooter at the Weeknees site, then sent them mail; they sent back mail saying "Yup, sounds like the power supply to us."
I figure $50.00 is a cheap price to pay to try to save the existing investment, since the lifetime pass is not transferable from one TiVo to another.
Is there anything you all like for setting up mailing lists? All I know of is either Yahoo groups, or, like the music thread set up, a single gmail account. I just want something for four or five people.
