iLamp

by Tony Travis

Hi, After trying every conceivable way to get a viable 32-bit PPC Linux with a web browser that can read https:// websites on my iLamp (15" G4 iMac), I gave up and installed Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 only to discover that PPC Safari has exactly the same problem that I had with Firefox on YDL 6.2! To cut a long story short, I've now installed the InterWebPPC port of Firefox under OS X 10.4.11 and this seems to work with most, but not all, secure https:// web sites. Then, I crashed and burned trying to listen to BBC Sounds, because there are no suitable codecs available. I retrieved my iLamp from the HackSpace because I didn't like it just sitting on the shelf gathering dust and being robbed of its keyboard. I've now bought two faulty keyboards off eBay, to be returned: The Apple A1048 is a membrane keyboard and not all of the keys were working on the two that I've bought. It's a fiddly job to repair the membrane tracks using a conductive pen and that would cost about the same as a second-hand keyboard, so I've risked it bought a third one - Fingers crossed that all they keys on this one will actually work! If anyone is interested in playing around with Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger on my G4 PPC iLamp then I'll bring it back into the HackSpace. Otherwise, it's going on eBay soon unless someone at the HackSpace wants it FOC?

iLamp keyboard

by Tony Travis

Hi, The iMac keyboard I bought off eBay arrived with one key broken off and the [0], [P], [;] and [/] keys not working so I've returned it :-( Does anyone know what happened to the Apple keyboard I left in the space with my iMac/iLamp? @Hibby, the iLamp is working fine, running YDL, using a PC keyboard.

Hp monitor stand

by Wouter Piessens

Hey folks, Long shot question: as a result of changing jobs, I need to return my NHS owned HP monitor back to organisation. Years ago I mounted the screen on a monitor arm, and then hid the stand very well. So well, I can't find it anywhere now 🤣. And with that, I need to resort to my internet friends to help me out, however unlikely the chance that will work. Has anyone on this group perhaps a spare mount for HP EliteDisplay E232 E242 E202 E222 E240C ? My monitor is an E242 version. Thanks, Wouter
