Why does my Apple laptop beep at me?

Why does my Apple laptop beep at me? 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Ok. It's driving me so mad that I'm forced in the end to appeal to the general public. My laptop appears to be beeping at me. Every so often - no more than once a day, for some reason which appears to be hardware-related (I'm not even sure it's coming through the Powerbook's speakers) it beeps at me. Two sets of two beeps in the form: beep-beep beep-beep, always the same tones. There doesn't appear to be any particular rationale for when it beeps, except that it could be related to whether it's on my lap or not (I've never heard it happen at work) and/or whether it's being charged (I don't think I've ever heard it beep when it wasn't being charged). It's really worrying me as I don't know what's causing it to protest. It could even be a bloody alarm clock for all I know (except that it doesn't seem to beep at any particular time of day). It's driving me insane - does anyone know what the hell is going on?

Foofbag: Handmade Apple Laptop Sleeves

Foofbag: Handmade Apple Laptop Sleeves 07/06/2004 03:09 PM

Simple and somewhat stylish, depending how you feel about rainbows or flowers or tweed, foofbags are handmade cloth sleeves for your 12-inch or 15-inch Apple laptop. Available in 5 fabric choices, the foofbags have no handles or zippers -- they're designed to protect your Powerbook or iBook when it's in your bag, not be your bag. And if we all harass the creator enough, I bet she'll start making those complimentary iPod bags she keeps hinting at, as well. You can order foofbags online for $29-$39 depending on size, and expect to have it shipped anywhere in the world from Ireland (and soon, Australia!) in 10 days or less.
