Does anyone else here have any sort of experience using nBlog to update their blogs? Success or horror stories? I'd be looking to use it on a regular basis, but if it's going to …

Well, I can't really recommend much about the newton but I can recommend the next best thing - the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (collectively known as the "N810", as I've seen). Thi…

I'm in the market for a more portable blogging solution. For a few years now, I've been using my wireless-enabled Powerbooks (a 5300, 1400, and Lombard) or TRS-80 Model 100 &a…

I've only ever had the fan fire up on both my Pismo and Lombard when I had them sitting on a soft vinyl chair for a couple of hours watching a movie - it was pretty hot after that …

At the moment the 400mhz card has been replaced with a 333mhz card. While it does run a little warm at times depending on what I'm doing so far it has not crashed since the proces…

Well. I just lifted the keyboard on my Lombard to check. Turns out the sound I always thought was the fan, is in fact the hard drive. The fan (next to the air vent on the left h…

Hi Everyone I am new to mac. Just got my hands on a pb g3 lombard and it keeps sutting down do to over heating. I know the fan is not kicking on and I also know the fan works by t…

you need to modify the software Apple shipped for DVD playback because it only wants to use the rage 128 DVD decoder hardware (software hack). Click to expand... Version 2.7 o…

The DVD decoder card did not come with all rage 128 video cards, and it could have been removed before he got his systems even if it did ship with one. Radeon video cards will do …

*waits for iamdigitalman to prove us wrong*

The stock card should have the required decoder, you don't have to connect the drive straight to the card, just install as usual and it will work through the PCI slot. If you're r…

Or a better video card, such as the Radeon

The Rage 128 needs the hardware DVD decoder card that snaps onto it to work.

I just installed a DVD-ROM drive in a B&W/400 today. Data DVDs work great. However, DVD movies do not work in the apple dvd player because I am missing the needed hardware.…

Thanks to almeath, I could test it for myself. Here is my story: I tried to boot an existing 8.6 installation from my g3 b&w on the g4 sawtooth (it has the onboard firewir…

Funny price - I got one for free. Awful display. Slow. 99% chance the battery is useless.

He said he purchased a few and I guess opened one of them. I don't care for that model so I think the price is a bit steep. Wonder if the battery will even charge after all this ti…

Sealed? Then what laptop is in the picture?

I heard about the exploding batteries but nothing about case quality or anything like that. Mind you I was wondering a little while ago why you never see any 5300s anywhere.

I have a 5300ce got at the thrift store. External scsi devices will not mount on the desktop. I have the right SCSI cable. A hard drive,CD rom nor zip drive will mount. SCSI probe …

I'd take it if they paid me $150. My 5300 suffered from every known problem, it's the only machine I've ever just thrown in the bin.

Very nice, if a bit expensive!!!!

Just in time for Christmas, this 5300 PowerBook never opened, brand new sealed in box. Now you too can experience first hand the cracked cases, broken AC connectors, or spontaneou…

Hi There is a new Google group for the Canon Cat. Subject that are welcome would be: Canon Cat computer Apple II and SwyftCard or Swyftware Swyft computer Jef Raskin's though…
