Education means nothing when you live in a country with no jobs. [...] Better to teach them how to grow food and sanitize water first. Those are skills they can actually put to use…

Perhaps one of the problems with the $12 computer is that it is being designed as a computer. I seem to recall that one of the stated reasons behind the XO-1 (the "$100 laptop") w…

There is a reason that McDonalds cash registers are nothing but pictures of food on the keys! Click to expand... Perhaps the people pushing the buttons aren't from the US.

I don't think anybody in the US has a clue what a 3rd world nation needs for education considering what a mess the school systems in the US are like. There is a reason that McDonal…

Well that's rather exciting, if it comes to pass.

well i have OS X 10.3.9 on it now with an OS 9 complement. I tried apple's terminal commands after making a backup of the file that the commands were supposed to change which was …

Now THIS really piqued my interest (found this thanks to Slashdot): http://news.bostonherald.com/business/technology/general/view/2008_08_04_Designers_on_quest_to_build__12_comput…

Write a decent ad, making sure all the upgrades are well described. I should think you'd get more than $150 for it, but then I'm in a different market to you and prices are not al…

On eBay you might be able to net as much as $150, maybe more. The battery helps alot, as does the ram and HDD. Shipping international probably wouldn't make much difference, they'r…

Oh yeah. No problem

At any rate, for $150 you can almost get a Pismo on ebay these days, so if you have a little more you can get a better computer than a clamshell iBook.

I personally like the clamshell iBooks... I paid about $630 for my Blueberry back in 2002. I still have it, though I modded it to remove the white metal shielding because it was co…

I think the best thing to do is to list all the upgrades separately, and offer "free installation with buy it now" or something like that. I may even have the original 6 gig Quant…

Good to know! Thanks for posting your experience

As far as I have found, wire connected Fast Ethernet upgrades for the PowerBook 1400 are recommended rarely. Some years ago I have got a cheap 10/100 Fast Ethernet PC card from a P…

You'll need to get a can of "Aroma of newly moulded plastic" to spray everything with. Include a calendar of 1999 and an invite to see the fireworks in Sydney at the end of the yea…

Let us know what the items end up selling for.

That's true. The original G3 ZIF is there, in the original Sonnet packaging. I was thinking I'd put the original back in and sell the G4 separately, with a link in the Mac listin…
