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 …

You either want a PowerBook G3 Lombard/Pismo or a 12-inch PowerBook G4. Cheers, Rick

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 Click to ex…

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. Click to expand... Oooh, how do I do that?! The o…

What about a lombard? Click to expand... 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…

> Do you NEED SCSI? If you can live without A Mac without SCSI?!?!?! 8-o It's an abomination! What next, Macs with intel CPU's?

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. Click to expand... 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. Click to expand... 64MB seems to be the minimal for …

Personally, if you're looking for a notebook that'll be useful and compatible with the modern world, I'd go for a PowerBook G3 or later. These machines can be had for under $200 no…

If you're really set on either the 2400 or Kanga, here's a quick breakdown (since I've got both): Differences: The 2400 has a 40MHz bus, the processor (180 or 240MHz) is on a rep…

Find a well cared for 12" PowerBook G4 1.33 or 1.5 GHz model.

A well-oiled windows machine will run pretty decently. I just bought Windows XP Pro for this machine I just built, just so I could have windows. Sure, I can run all my apps perfe…

I like the Wallstreets, have 5 of them.
