I personally think that threads of people asking advice on whether to buy a PB or wait will always be there. Its just plain unfriendly if you just ban them (without at least provid…

Of course not. We never know what the future will bring. As long as I been a Mac user, I'd still offer advice and seek it in thread you'd be happy to ban. Silly. We all have to sta…

I think it is fine to keep them. Yes it does get tiresome but sometimes it is or maybe a New user/switcher who isn't sure yet. Yes they also should do a search on these as their …

Having a sticky is a great idea...a simple sticky suggesting to do a search since this topic has been covered countless times. Or at the least, mods should be more diligent in sug…

Uhoh...next we'll see, "Should threads asking about banning threads asking buying a PB or waiting be banned?" Heh, sorry, couldn't resist. I actually kinda agree with you, but I …

No. They should not be banned. The internet is about sharing information. Boards such as this provide useful information to people who are considering the purchase of a Mac. Th…

However, the moderators have made it abundantly clear than users should do a search before they post. This topic has been covered dozens of times for each iteration of an upgraded…

I think MacNN needs to develop a small menu bar app, similar to WeatherPop, that connects to their "Should I Buy or Not" web site (similar to 'Hot or Not' ). Based on the feedback …

How about issueing useless polls that have no effect. I for one was one of those people who posted questions about a new PB that I wanted to buy. Now my needs are not identical t…

I'm not sure if this is a common issue or not, but the solder they use to glue the bottom case together is coming apart on my computer. Do any of you know how to fix this?

How is the case held to the PowerBook's frame?

We just ordered a new 1.25ghz AlBook in the office. It's 512 megs of RAM is 256x2, and we'll probably update one of the slots to 512, to get 768 in the powerbook and have a 256 me…

No. because the TiBook uses a PC 133 SODIMM while the AlBook uses PC 2700 DDR SODIMM They are NOT backwards compatible

Well, in a word, nuts. Anybody wanna buy a 256 meg 2700 DDR SODIMM?

My dad ordered a 512 chip of RAM from 1800memory.com Put it in used the computer for a little bit and then closed it up. He then went back later and when he opened it up it would…

The 12 in PB Al 1GHz is notoriously finicky about RAM. Multiple people have reported issues with 3rd party RAM. I myself went through incompatible units from TransIntly and OWC. Tr…

Both original and replacement sticks of OWC RAM purchased for a G4PB12 (revB) machine were incompatible with both a revA and revB machine. And now OWC told us that since this is …

I was well under 30 days (less than a week) and OWC still insisted on a restock fee for their incompatible RAM. They were once one of my favorite sellers to recommend, but after th…

Today, OWC's CEO reconsidered my situation and agreed to refund the restocking fee. After this good will gesture on their part, I feel once more able to recommend them as a supplie…

There's a guy who's interested in trading his 12" Albook (2 months old) for my 15" Tibook (14 months old). Both have 1Ghz processors and superdrives. I have 1gig RAM, he has 768. …

Never mind - I found a thread that helps me answer the question. -Jason

Is there a maximum HD size that I can fit in a bw G3? I have 60+6 Go on the IDE bus, and I consider removing the original 6 GB HD and installing a 120GB HD instead. Can the origin…

I don't think that the bus would be the problem there. I had a B/W G3 myself and I installed a bigger HD, but I ran into another problem: In some of the earlier revisions, the IDE …
