Should you have a zero charge old main battery in there when you are testing, you can try pulling it out and charging the PRAM battery for a full 48 hours in either operating or sh…

Hey guys, yet another question. This one one is about my Lombard. ****LOOK DOWN THE PAGE!! PLEASE! After installing both OS 10.2 and 10.3 (from retail disks), my Lombard would ac…

I loved my Newton Message Pad 130 and used it everyday, but one day the batteries died. I didn't get around to replacing them for a couple of weeks, but when I did get around to r…

I had good luck with AirLink routers. I had to setup 5 of them in a building using different setups (channels, IPs and other stuff, 2 for guest, 3 for the business) and they all wo…
