Interference With External Monitor-powerbook

Hello Macmusic folks. I have a very annoying problem. I am using a g4 powerbook 12" (1.25ghz) with an edirol fa 101 firewire interface and tannoy reveal active monitors. When I plug a external vga monitor into the powerbook, I get a high pitched interference on the tannoys. this also happens if i plug in my printer to usb. i have bought a couple of ferrite core rings from Maplin and tried placing them on monitor and firewire cables, to no avail. Anybody know how to cure this? Mac shop said it may be logic board...
PHEW! THANKS. BRETTY

Earth 'whine'

Hi Mac music people. i hope you can help me. i have a 12" powerbook, logic express, edirol fa101 and tannoy reveal active monitors. as the apple has a small screen i tried to connect an external monitor (iiyama 19" crt) but get an unbearable high-pitched whine. i get the same noise wne i plug my printer into the usb. anyone know how to eradicate this? someone told me that i need shielded monitors and that these tannoys are not (not the latest model..), but i don't want to buy new monitors really. is it an earth thing and is there something that can cut this out? many thanks, paul.

G4 Powerbook. Which Logic?

does anyone know.. it seems to me that logic pro 6 may be more suitable to run on a G4, 1.25 gig powerbook. does 7 ask for more processor 'power' than 6?
also,which virtual instruments does logic express have ? thanks bretty
