Hi everyone! I'm sorry for posting a software-request here as a newbie, but I really ran out of ideas where else to search.
I already spent several WEEKS (of course with breaks) i…
These days for a 'proper internet experience' you need at least OSX to access flash and other plugins. iCab is good and the old Mozilla is ok but only for basic surfing. Youtube …

If you're wanting to do some surfing, watch YouTube, etc., then anything older than a G3 is not for you. Even with OS 9, your browser choices are pretty limited and time will only …

You can most likely find a Mirror Drive Door G4 for the cost of a CPU upgrade for Sawtooth. I just sold my FastMac 1.4 GHz CPU upgrade for $100 just to sell it quick and it recoupe…

I bought my 3400 brand new in 1997 and I still use it 2-3 times a week today, mainly for IRC chatting or checking email while watching TV. It's running OS 8.6 because 9 feels like …

One other point... Does the PB G4 need a PRAM battery to run? I found a replacement at OWC, but I want to be sure that it needs a good PRAM battery in order to start

I have to say go with a Lombard. I initially had a 400mhz model, but the processor kept overheating so it's now running a 333mhz one instead. 384MB RAM, 60GB hard disk and runs P…

Tiny correction/clarification: The 3400c (and 2400) are electrically Cardbus compliant already. The only mod needed is in fact mechanical, to allow the differently-keyed Cardbus ca…
You can't use a wireless card on a Duo -- no slots. Great choice otherwise though, you can recell the battery for about $30.

Rocking a Lombard G3 right now - lovely machine. It copes very well with everything short of Youtube - and I'm hoping a CPU upgrade wi…

Nobody is making G4's anymore (for years now), and I think the fastest of those upgrades are just overlocked G4 CPUs. You would be better off with a newer G4 that had atleast 133Mh…

I was on the MacSales site, looking at the G4 processor upgrades for an old AGP 400 Mhz Sawtooth, and I had some questions. It feels...expensive, but of course the computer would b…
What about a lombard? SCSI, USB, and a PC card slot. All in one and they should be going for very little now.

400MHz Pismo's are cheap too.
Do you NEED SC…

I've been hardpressed to find a 2400 anywhere, and I can say that the 2300c is dog slow on the web, even with 48mb of RAM.
