IRS Refund Madness! Multiple Conquests! — #2

There's no lettering on the front, just a "Nike Swoop" and a rectangle, could be a "D" or something else. I've never seen a pic of one like this. Close-up of my Beige Plus's "S…

WGS 9150, are they rare? — #7

WGS 9150, are they rare? — #6

Attention all PowerBook 5300cs Owners — #6

I don't have a 5300cs but I believe the 190cs has the same screen and I have found the refresh rate is poor for games. The screen is poor for darks and the screen has poor refresh…

Attention all PowerBook 5300cs Owners — #3
