Another quick question. My girlfriend has a brand new iBook G4 which came with Tiger installed. Can I user her boot disks to put Tiger on my iBook G3?

Although I've never actually tried, I think you are able to...you should be able to pop in the DVD and upgrade Panther to Tiger if that's what you want to do.

Why does printing use so much of the CPU? — #1

Why does printing use so much of the CPU? — #2

Just one last bit of clarification: you will have the same effect with inkjet printers by HP, Epson and Lexmark (except for very few, e. g. some HP Business Inkjets). Also, very …

First of all, nice Mac!!!! I see your specs in the post. Are you sure it's T-Bird causing the problem? I don't have that problem w/it on my G4 iBook. Hmm, I'm running t-bird 1.5.…
