Does anyone remember the apple ad campaign for the first Powerbook G3? It showed an aggressive shark desktop image fitting the 1024x768 LCD of th PB. I'd like to have that image o…

My FireWire PowerBook, named Phoenix, burns Pentium notebooks as a daily chore... I've got a really, really cool Photoshopped (by yours truely) picture of a phoenix and FireWire im…

G R E A T ! Thanks alot!

I'm getting a Pismo and dad has one. What I reckon apple should go back to doing is making docks for powerbooks. A Pismo with a dock containing drive bays, PCI slots would be da bo…

MacNZ, the integration of such ports (PCI, AGP, drive bays) would be quite difficult. The PowerBook's display is connected directly to the graphics card. The only reason they made …

There's a post over at MacDebate (I think) in the Powerbook area that discusses PCI expansion chassis for the Lombard and Pismo powerbooks. It also has a page reference that takes…

Ok, I see, thanks. Yeah, there are plenty of ports on the new powerbooks. Was just wondering whether it could encorporate PCI which the powerbook lacks and maybe full 5.25" size dr…

I've scanned in a seris of photographs that I want to build a short movie out of. However, when I try to render the movie using the DV codec, playback is very choppy. QT Player rep…

Not even the fastest G4 can currently play DV codec video on High quality at full frame rate. The data rate is just too high. For viewing on the computer, just go into the movie'…

OK, here's another boneheaded question, but it's something that I wonder about almost every day. When I put my PB into my bag, it's always vertical. Should it be carried with the…

When i put it in my *bag*, it goes in port-side down. Since the case is "streamlined", i would think putting all the weight on the front would stress the case out. When i put it in…

I use a Madsononline.com G3 powerbook bag for my pismo 500 and the 1/4 " foam around it makes it so that the pressure around the book is almost equal in every spot, therefore it wo…

I also have a case with 1/4" thick foam, really great. I can then just place it in wither port side up or down and away I go with no probs.

So how do u like the madsonline powerbook bag? Is it worth the $100 price tag on a nylon bag? And also if you had to chose a bag all over again, would you still get the madsonlin…

Sponge- Ive been really paranoid about the keys touching the screen problem that a lot of people have reported where the pressure of the keys on the screen could concieveably cause…

taz, i tried to look up Madsononline.com to look at the bag you refer to, but the server could not be found. i just wanted a visual on the bag. is this the correct url? thanks. …

it is http://www.madsonline.com

Is there a way to upgrade the video chip in this machine?

I'm sure it's possible with hours and hours of soldering and hacking work. I would say it's impossible, but everything's possible. In other words, the task is impossible. http://…

The DVD kit uses a hardware processor on a PC card, so I'd guess that you can do some video off of the motherboard. As far as replacing the onboard processor, forget it.

I cannot connect with my Wallstreet II internal modem - and testing the modem with software comes out nil: no connection, no dial tone. So, before I go out and purchase a new int…

I don't think the Wallstreet's modem is similar to the modem in the iMac. I believe the Power Macintosh's modem is similar to the one in the Wallstreet. Correct me if I'm wrong, g…

Actually, krabat is absolutely correct that the modems are alike: the tray-loading iMacs, Blue and white G3, and Yikes! (PCI Graphics) G4s all inherited the Wallstreet internal mod…

yes, but how to test it OUTSIDE of the PB? krabat
