Oh right! Thanks for the sync reminder. I don't have music on the phone, so I haven't synced in months. That's good news. Thanks, Drew.

Ok Folks, It's that time again. I'm looking for Mac laptop parts.

Currently I'm looking to upgrade Andi's Powerbook titanium 17in to a new HDD, and maybe RAM. I may buy new, but I'm looking to recycle unwanted/unneeded equipment

If anyone is willing to part with their old IDE laptop hard drives (Mac or Windows), I would gladly pay for time and postage. If you don't want to just give it up, name your price, I will certainly consider it fully.

Also I need an old-style Airport card for a G4 Mac for my cousin that was just admitted to a long term care apartment, as his health has deteriorated.

As always I am looking for dead or dying Apple laptops made after 2001 to practice on and to scavenge for parts, so drop me a line. I need to update my skills.

Thanks for your consideration.

Can someone confirm something for me? You know how component video cables are red, blue and green? And then there are those other RCA A/V cables that are red, white and yellow? Is there any difference between these two types of RCA cables other than the color of the plastic?

I've used all colors of RCA cables interchangeably.

No, they should be the same.

I mean, you're talking about cables with RCA connections on both ends, right?

Anyone know where I could get a 25' power strip/extension cord? My boss doesn't want to chain extension cords together, but she also wants to plug three pieces of equipment in that are nowhere near an outlet.

(Ideally I'd be looking for something like a Power Squid, but with a 25' tail.)

Triple outlet extension cords are pretty common I think. I have a couple I got from Wal-Mart I think.

Here's one.

No, they should be the same.

Technically no they are not. In most cases they will pass signal, but the lines that are used for video transmission are designed to carry a broader bandwidth than the audio only lines. Typically you won't see a difference, especially on short runs, but audio lines used to pass video are more susceptible to interference and drop outs. Audio should always be fine running across video lines, but the reverse is not always true.

Technically no they are not.

Damn. Thanks, ND.

Depending upon what you are doing with it the wrong cables will probably work with no problem Jon. I just wanted to clarify that from a technical specifications standpoint they are not identical.
