Silverstein" To: Info-mac Subject: Electric shock from Titanium When my Titanium is plugged in to 220V I get a continual mild shock from the bottom half - the area surrounding the keyboard, the sides and the bottom. This does not happen when I am using the battery. It has gotten to the point that I cannot use the Titanium while plugged in. Resting it on my bare knees was quite unpleasant (to say the least). A friend is experiencing the exact same problem. The power supply is two-prong, and therefore not grounded. Neither is the Titanium. Does anyone know about this problem? Does anyone know a solution?

Mac OS 9.1 does not insist on an Internet link being active at any time. You can turn it on or off as you want it. Perhaps you should be checking Eudora's Settings (Special Menu, Settings...), and within that, the Internet Dialup box. Here, you'll find two checkboxes. The second one is the one you're looking for. Of course, things may vary slightly between the version of Eudora you're using and the one I have. But this box essentially says that it's okay for Eudora to connect to the Internet to check mail, but should automatically disconnect thereafter. HTH.
