Just goes to show there's always alternatives. :)Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-6626470129919061512007-01-19T11:09:00.000-05:002007-01-19T11:09:00.000-05:00Oh rats, more to say but I pushed the wrong button...Oh rats, more to say but I pushed the wrong button.<br /><br />Olivia, good thing your laptop was under warranty. The warranty on mine conked out on March 1. Did they give you your old disk back, or at least copy your stuff over?<br /><br />FM, I'm not worried about losing anything; worst case I can pull the drive & use it as an external.<br /><br />To save a page, go up to the File menu on your browser — if you're using Firefox on a PC, the entry you want says "Save Page As." This pops up a Save As dialog, where you can specify a name & location (you'll probably want to create a separate directory for your backups). At the bottom, where it says "Save as type," choose "Web Page, complete" if it isn't that already. Hit Save. This gives you an "xyz.htm" file containing the main text, and a "xyz_files" folder with all the pictures & style sheets. For cheap offsite backup, zip those up and email it to a Gmail or Yahoo account. ;-)Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-88725699549009973722007-01-19T10:49:00.000-05:002007-01-19T10:49:00.000-05:00Hey guys... things might not be so bleak.

The problem <a href="http://forums.macnn.com/66/ibook-and-macbook/210232/diy-ibook-dual-usb-logic/">might be repairable</a> with the right equipment. I located the rework person at work today & she said she'll give it a shot — so I need to bring it in next week.<br /><br />Some of the repair techniques <i>that have worked</i> <a href="http://geektechnique.org/projectlab/726/diy-obsolete-ibook-logic-board-repair">are seriously low-tech</a>, but I figure someone who knows what she's doing will give me the best chance of success.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-10480006259242543662007-01-18T17:23:00.000-05:002007-01-18T17:23:00.000-05:00Hi FARfetched.

Hope you get your stuff back.<br /><br />You were saying on your last post that to go to save and you can save monthly. I couldn't find save. I wish I knew of someway to save everything to a disk or something.<br /><br />Good luck on the hunt for a new computer.Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-32317345271669432492007-01-18T14:52:00.000-05:002007-01-18T14:52:00.000-05:00Yikes!

I was able to hook it up to an external monitor to retrieve the files. It was still under warranty and the replaced the whole LT rather than change the screen. This makes me think I better back-up my files ... tonight!oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401788202984343513noreply@blogger.com
