  This week's installment of Adam's Hacking the Press series focuses
  on the different types of publications, how they work, and how to
  interact with them. Jeff Carlson weighs in with another Worthy Web
  Site - iPing's Mr. WakeUp notification service. In the news, we
  cover the releases of Conflict Catcher 8.0.7, ATM Deluxe 4.6, and
  Default Folder 3.0.6, note last week's poll on Macworld Expo

Subject:  Accessing logic board on the 8100 AV

Hi everyone,

Can one find instructions on the Web about gaining
access to the Power Macintosh 8100/80 logic board?
I'd like to add RAM but the board doesn't exactly flip
open by itself.

Thanks,
Oleh

Subject: (A) Summary - Keyboard control panel based shortcuts

Dear Digest readers,
Thank you one and all for your replies.   It appears that only USB 
based Macs (not those with a PCMCIA or PCI added USB card) support 
shortcuts in the Keyboard control panel.    All other Macs instead of 
having a shortcuts section have the help ? button at the bottom left 
of the Keyboard control panel.   I've gotten replies from people with 
an iBook, and iMac DV that have this shortcut feature as well.
Of course earlier Macs have built-in copy/paste/cut/undo in the 
function keys, and several command-shift-3 command-shift-4 screen 
capture options.

Sincerely,
abrody@smart.net

Subject: (Q) USB freezes

Dear Digest readers,
Has anyone experienced a freeze putting a printer in one USB port of 
a G4, and a hub for all other USB devices in the second USB port? 
Does it matter if the hub is A/C powered from the wall?   Does it 
matter if all the USB devices on the system go through the hub or can 
a printer be in the second port?

The A/C powered from the wall Belkin hub has a Pi Adapter for a PS/2 
compatible keyboard, and a USB PC mouse hooked up.
The usb port not attached to the hub has a Brother HL-1240 printer.

Before you get down on me for these items being PC hardware, the 
person using it has gotten so comfortable to the mouse and keyboard, 
they will not use any another mouse or keyboard.  The G4 is the early 
350
Mhz model with no AGP port.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
abrody@smart.net

Subject: 2 volume disk and HFS

Hello>

I have an external HD which I have split into 2 volumes. I didn't 
notice until recently, but one volume was initialized as HFS extended 
and the other as HFS standard. I used Apple's Drive setup to do this. 
What I want is both to be HFS+. Is there a way of doing that without 
initializing both volumes of the HD? I can back-up the contents of 
the HFS standard volume easily enough, but not that of the HFS+ 
volume.
If there is a way then how can I do it?

Thanks,

Subject: Airport

Dear Digest readers,
Are there any Airport (802.11) broadcasting stations cheaper than 
Apple's own UFO like device?   I was thinking about putting in a 
Farallon or Lucent card into my Powerbook G3/233, and using the 
airport for both dialup and 1580 x 384 DSL on my Powerbook.   But the 
cost of the base station seems a bit steep.   Also how many computers 
can feasibly share a single station at those speeds?  I am not going 
to be trying to transfer files any quicker between them.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
abrody@smart.net

I have a client with a 7350/180, OS 8.6, 96MB RAM, ASIP 6.2

ASIP crashes when the web and file services are starting up.  This happens
even with newly created PDS and User/Groups Files.  I can get it to start up
everytime by deleting the old PDS files, restarting, and recreating the
users/privileges.  But as soon as I restart the web & file sharing services,
the server crashes.  Has anyone ever experienced anything this bizarre??

Please Help!!
THANKS,
Kurt

Subject: iMac gutz removal

I'm helping out a friend whose iMac went south (software). I'm
reinitializing etc.
While I'm at it, she's asked me to do a memory upgrade.
I've looked at the back/removed the plastic housing and the two upper anchor
screws but the gutz won't come out. Is there more to do or do I just have to
be more aggressive and yank the sucker?
It's a cute little thing, so I don't want to hurt it. Any help will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles Cusumano <macman@kyol.net>

Doug--

I have no doubt that Apple has set limits on AppleCare for older Macs. They
seem to really favor their G3 customers. I'm sure most Apple fans remember
the legal trouble they got into when they tried to discontinue the life-time
help hotline service they promised for owners of early model Macs.

But, on the other hand, if your PB3400 lasts anything like your PB170, you
shouldn't worry. I would almost say that you wasted your money if you
maintained AppleCare on so old a product. At $200 a year, that PB170 would
have cost you over $1000 in warranty costs and I am sure you could fix both
of those problems for less than that. For do-it-yourselfers, check out
www.sunrem.com the resting place of Apple's discontinued product remainder
parts.

If, however, you are not attracted to opening up and poking around inside
the inner workings of your PowerBooks, AppleCare (while available) is a
bargain. As painful as it may sound it maybe time to sell or retire that
older PowerBook.

Good luck!

I do not know about lowering it in ROM, but you could make up an 
applescript to turn your volume down, another to turn it up, and put 
them in your shutdown and startup items folders to do the trick.

Subject: Pagination problems in Word 98

Hello.  This has been nagging me for a long time.  Oftentimes, I have a
document that will print very differently depending on which Mac I am using
to print.  The fonts, document format, print setup, ect... are all the
same, yet on one machine, it will paginate correctly, and on the other, a
line or three will spill off onto the next page.

Any insights you have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
