I don't quite understand why people are SO excited about this new PB - don't get me wrong, it's nice, but it's really not revolutionary. Aside from about 3 more pixels and a sligh…

Geforce 4 with 64Mbs would have been better. Apple should dump ATI.

No IrDA port? Now I feel better that I bought Rev B with an IrDA port to Synchronize with my Palm although I have to boot Palm Desktop in OS 9. The new PB looks excellent to me. Au…

I bought a 550 in early March. Last Friday Apple agreed that they would treat it as DOA owing to a recurrently faulty Power Adapter. I was told by them today that they have ordere…

Well, after upgrading to OS 9.1, I opened the powerbook password security control panal, set a password and shut down. NOW it will not restart, I get a blank screen with the cursor…

I have the same problem. My 2 year old Lombard is dead (or seems dead). However if MacOS9.1 is to blame I don't now. Heres what happened: 1) Im sitting on my sofa surfing, when th…

Guys.....please tell me this is not a MAJOR lombard problem, I just bought one off of ebay. I'm definetely going to be using OS X 1.0 on it when March 24 hits, and if 9.1 is causin…

I upgraded the Lombard I use at work to OS9.1 when it was first released and I've not had a single problem. I use Communicator, Office 98, Eudora, Firewire 2 Go , and a KeyspanUSB…

by chance did you guys try booting off of a CD? i dont know if this will work, but maby you can reinstall OS 9, or maby even OS 8.x? just an option?

I am the East Carolina Apple Campus Rep and I downloaded OS 9.1 for all my mac's. I put it on my PowerBook G3 Bronze, ibook and older 333mhz imac. I have had no problems with mine …

While my hard drive acted like it was totaly dead I was able to resuce it and all the data was safe, Disk warrior did its work off course, but my version of Password control panal …

Finally received my Lombard today. After running Disk First Aid and backing up the hard drive, I wiped it clean and reinstalled OS 9. Then came the juggernaut; the OS 9.1 update. H…

9.1 worked fine with my Lombard. Password security is specifically prohibited for Pismo, not Lombard, although it did cause some moderate problems for me after the 9.1 upgrade unti…

I have not had this problem, but on another site, i have heard of one fix. You have to reset the entire computer. Remove the batteries, CD drive etc, and unplug everything from the…

Lombard owner running 9.1 here. No problem at all and I crash my computer all the time while developing software. I find It's much more stable. I don't know it it's Palm Desktop or…

I've been using 9.1 on my PISMO for a while now and not only is it more stable but not much problems with Multi user. have you run Norton or Techtool Pro on your disk? that mught…
