it’s an Apple Performa 6100, Mac II Series .. as per

but it doesn’t look like a tablet .. and apparently this is the one he used to print the 1mil dollar check ..

i’ll have to go watch the movie now, i’m curious .. 1994 seems a little early for commercial tablets or touch screens

When you sync a blank iPod to a library filled with songs, does it erase the songs?

Question by John S: When you sync a blank iPod to a library filled with songs, does it erase the songs?

I once synced a full iPod to a blank library and it erased the library’s songs without downloading them to the iPod! Stupid, I know. But “sync” implies “synchronization.”

No, the iPod is a one-way sync, except for iTunes purchases (like you have another computer and you synced a purchased song, it will sync back to your other). Your iPod will just be loaded with your songs from iTunes.

IC-92AD Display Goes Blank

IC-92AD production / design flaw. The display sometimes goes blank when a RF field is present. A non-perfect VSWR to the rubber duck antenna will surely induce this upon itself. (such as transmitting standing next to a metal building).. Initially reports made it appear that its related to VHF digital mode operation, but it will likely show that to do it more often, and in just FM and UHF operations. This problem was first observed by some IC92AD users in Dec 2008. When Icom sales and other reps were asked about it at Dayton (May) 2009, there was still the standard “were not familiar with this problem.. and cannot reproduce it.” Sweeping with another VHF HT in transmit perpendicular seems to be the best way to identify if your IC-92AD is vulnerable to this RF shielding flaw. Tested/reported , affected serial numbers: 0202396 0202481 0202750 series So far I haven’t been able to have the problem crop up with a unit that has the serial numbers; 0203128 0202895 0202883 0203001
