250GB? Ayy, that's a lot of 2GB partitions... Thanks for the info.

Where's the button to vote "Both, with MOL"?

I wanted to do something like that but don't know how. Would I have to solder the wires to the existing battery socket? If I could attach the wires without soldering, that would be…

I've had two Dell Optiplex GX1 desktop machines for a while that I have been wanting to upgrade and finally found two of these with 1.4ghz P-III's installed. Not Celerons like you …

I vote 9.1 due to it being mac and there is classilla for web surfing. I did try Ubuntu on a Dell but the disk would not load, and Kubuntu worked but it sucked. I really did not l…

I don't have access to another G4 to swap due to they surplus'd the other units.. so that isn't an option . I wasn't able to get to the computer today to try either of the other…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! I'll just keep working on my X86/Radius 81/110 ubuntuGIMPbox™ Hack! )

The biggest problem I had was in copying the kernel and ramdisk from the installed system to the Mac OS partition. I didn't have a small HFS partition and Linux can't write to HFS+…

I purchased a couple dozen from Indonesia or somewhere for next to nothing, so I am good.

I had a chance to grab a FW800 single 1ghz machine for $119 not long ago. That's less than I paid for my 533mhz DA a few years ago. I let it go because the shipping would have been…

I got ~15 coin cell holders going to waste if anyone wants me to drop one in the post

I have used those kinds of batteries and holders on old PCs before, they work fine but all eventually leak. So I retrofitted quite a few machines to use coin type batteries (PCs) a…

I just got my G5 a few months ago. It's a single 1.8 Ghz. I got it for $125 to replace my aging G4 Digital Audio 733. The SATA card in my G4 wouldn't allow the system to sleep prop…
