I have a Powerbook G4 that has been giving me trouble with turning on so I've had to reset the Power Management Unit (PMU) quite a few times by pressing shift-control-option-power. It works, but it is the only way I can get it to come on now and it will turn off even when sleeping. Is there a way I can resolve this? Does the resetting it too many times lead to other problems like this? Can the PMU be replaced?

I've been thinking about replacing both the external and internal battery, but not if it will be a waste of money. Has anyone else had this issue after resetting the PMU??????

when I print an e-mail message it always takes 2 pages which is a terrible waste of paper. If the yahoo heading were cropped off then it would fit in one sheet almost always thus saving paper. Thanks , Johnny bits42742@yahoo.com

I have a VAIO with 1.6 Ghz and I was wondering how I could fully utilize the cpu on boot up. When I press ctrl+alt+delete it says that I only use a max of 20% of my cpu when it boots up. how do I change the settings so I can use more of the cpu?
