@streakmachine Think of it as an integrated heatsink.
@matigo All clear in that respect, have added a different form of the same medication as advised by my GP. Now using eyedrops morning & early afternoon, followed by the ointment at night.
@matigo Dunno. I've been avoiding such things anyway because of the headaches brought on by the infection. Conjunctivitis is very contagious, I have to know if I have to avoid people for a time or not.
Conjunctivitis treatment continues, it's helping, I have less pain, my eyeballs no longer feel too big for the sockets. Seeing my GP in 9 hours to inform him of the affliction, its diagnosis & treatment & to confirm it's OK to keep it up.
@streakmachine Faster processor (1.5 GHz vs 1.42 GHz) & higher system bus speed (167 MHz vs 142 MHz) & a faster 64 MB VRAM video card vs a 32 MB one in the iBook are all contributing factors. Both used the same PC2700 333 MHz RAM, the iBook could have 1.5 GB vs the 12-in PowerBook's 1.25 GB.
Geekbench 2 figures put the PowerBook slightly ahead at 725 vs 713.
I'm registered as a patient with three separate medical clinics in this suburb but none of them had any spare appointment slots before Monday morning and earlier today (Saturday) I was needing medical intervention due to sore & weepy eyes, one eye being significantly worse than the other.
Headed off to the emergency wing of the nearest hospital, was examined immediately by a nurse, then placed in a queue for the next three hours whist awaiting the availability of a physician.
She diagnosed conjunctivitis, an bacterial inflammation of the eyelid & outer surface of the eye itself & provided with a tube of combined lubricant & antibiotic ointment to be applied to the inside of the lower eyelid three times daily.
It seems to be doing its job following the first application.
I'm avoiding contact with other folk as much as possible due to the rather extreme contagiousness of this affliction.
@streakmachine I'm using a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable FireWire 800 - STAE102 SATA adapter with bare drives attached, that way I can swap between drives easily. Although with the 12-in PB, I had to get a FW 400 to 800 converter plug as it lacks FW 800.
@streakmachine Raging Menace website says for existing customers their existing licence keys will still work with version 1.6 of SideTrack. You can't use it for more than 30 days without needing a licence.
