I'm purchased a Deluo Bluetooth GPS and am having a problem. Deluo has 0 tech support and they only included instructions for OS 10.3 which had a Bluetooth Serial Utility which 10.4 does not.

Can anyone help pleaaaaase? I'll paypal some loot to anyone that can help I have to go out of town next week and need my GPS in a bad way, I might even get a street pilot as a last resort.

thanks, I should have included their PDF guide, note the red fine print @ the BlueTooth serial utility part. The big part is linking the device with the port and the in/out setting.

http://www.deluo.com/support/installguide/Docs/BTGPS_QuickStart_Guide_MAC.pdf

This link is the one for the blutooth software. I think it should work on your ibook, as it says it works with OS 10.3 and later.

If you cant find it, there is a place to search for downloads, you might be able to find the download you need to make it work.

it's automatic.

Btw, does anyone use a mini Mac? Are these suitable for light duty such as browsing, copying data etc? The processor is in the ~1.5 GHz range and I don’t know what that implies for performance.

I unpacked my mini-mac and it seems just as fast as my much bigger XP systems. its only been a couple days so I haven't done any bench marking. I did play with a publisher type program and it seems better than XP.

Thanks.

I was talking with someone else today about the mini mac and they too said it was an okay box. Then I told them about the processing speed of the new Apples and the person said wha? Then I directed her to the apple web site where she promptly ordered 6 of em. Its nice to help the economy when I can, so I'm ordering a mini Mac later today.

Geeez, Medmech....with all the ibooks and macmini's you bought, you are making me want to go out and buy a mac mini to supplement my imac G5.

I have a wireless network in the house, and my Mac will communicate with my laptop (windows 2000), but not my pc (xp). Stupid Microsoft windows.

Ive never seen a computer work so well wirelessly, I get a little peeved at lack of software goodies but I'm learning the work arounds. I don't have much loaded on the mini but it seems to perfom as good as the big un's.


Thanks.

Tracy, I'm not nearly as skilled as you but I'm known to have a few tweaked systems on hand. The craziest thing to me is that I've never had an Apple in my hands long enough to appreiciate it, I mean I've been running Linux, FreeBSD, BEOS, and this Apple pulls my heart strings, everything just works thats all I can say. My main gripe is no right click on the iBook keyboard.

Haaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrg mates, I found the secret to me iiiiiiibook. Once I got into Route 66 I changed the settings from mac-gps to the selected virtual serial port and Haaaaady haaaaar haaaaar I have a fix on meee position.

What is it that you like about the Mac?

a quick list

1. never lags load graphics very fast, the G4 ibook loads dreamweaver jobs faster than the 2.8 ghz 2gb ram PC which is lean an mean.

1a. Quiet
2. Great interface
3. Simplicity of networking
4. Simplicity of tasks and speed
5. Print Jobs seem instant and my printers never seem to get angry with me.
6. Once you get used to the menus you can toggle easily.

and last but not least windoze has so many layers and levels that you have to wizard your way through a simple task while most mac stuff is a click.

Fit and finish is MB like.

What is there not to like about a Mac?

I've got a G4 at work along with a PC (I do web work so I need to test both environments) but it looks like management has approved the purchase of a new Mac for yours truly.

PowerMac G5?

iMac?

eMac?

Let the shopping (and accompanying upgrade feature-justification) begin!

There's nothing like the zeal of the "newly coverted."

While PC's are great machines with gobs of software, particularly games, and more accessories that you might ever use, there's a large demographic of slightly more mundane or mature users that need a computer to be more appliance like. The Macintosh fits that niche better than most Windows based PCs ever since 1984.
