hookem2oo7 Registered: 09/29/05 Posts: 59 Loc: Austin, TX	i noticed that during the fedora core 4 install, the sleep led on the front of my ibook g4 is used as an HD activity LED. anyone know if theres anything like that for OS X? i just thought it was pretty cool...not that i need a flashy light or anything :silly:

It might be a nifty utility to have, though, if only because I love to wow others with the power of my seemingly inferior 1.33 GHz ("So slow!" they say...) 12" PowerBook. _________________________ Cheers! :-) - JediJoker Current: - "ProBook:" 15.4" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz - Mac Classic II - Old PowerBook Moved On: - "The Book of Power:" 12.1" PowerBook G4 Aluminum 1.33 GHz - Purple iMac

oojacoboo Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 1468	that is a pretty cool feature. I am sure that someone could write an app to do that. However, I havent seen it done :unsure: _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

Anonymous Unregistered	My 1.25GHz 15 Powerbook is Amazingly fast compared to my Old HP Pavillion Celeron Processer at 600Mhz...... I can run about 20 apps on my mac and only 1 on my HP. Back to the main subject, I posted in another section of the forum about the Backlight of the keyboard being used someother way... ie breathing like the sleep light.... or something silly like that....

TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/15/07 Posts: 1797 Loc: Florida, USA	I was thiking about this a few weeks back. The only thing I thought of was hardwiring it to the HD itself. Never thought it can be contoled by software. My iBook is 600MHz lol. Nothing can beat my AMD Athlon 64 system. (Home system that is. not server quality.)
