My PowerBook has done this for a loooong time now, but only tonight have I managed to snap some clear shots of this phenomena occuring. Wake the machine from sleep sometimes and ev…

Nice score, if anything the passive matrix screen in PB150's isn't bad. The "melting plastic" would be what's left of the worn out case feet I've come across a few PBs with th…

Not that I've ever seen a Mac in Calvin and Hobbes.

It sounds like you have a SCSI ID issue (assuming I've interpreted what you said properly). If that's the case, you can usually fix it by changing 3 jumpers on the back of the har…

I got an 840av... swapped bits from an old one and got it working... But now it's not working, well it mostly is... I seem to have upset the scsi gods. It was using the hard dri…

I'm not sure. But it seemed fitting at the time.

Uh, Christopher, what does that have to do with PowerBooks running in "lid closed" mode?

Another place to ask is on a local Freecycle list. While some people still pay for G3 Macs, they are quite old and you may stumble across someone who has one tucked away in the ba…

This time of year yard sales are nuts Im going to one tomorrow, i showed up too late today but the people were like "oh yea we have 2 tables of old pc and apple stuff"!

After getting some replies for old iMacs (Which I have no use for. Feel free to take them, post to FreeCycle NYC) I finally got an interesting reply. A Woman asked if I took lap…

Welcome! So now, during the summer season, my plan is to get a mac (powerpc G3 or better), so I would like to ask the people of this forum; where exactly is the best plac…

Hello, I'm a forum lurker, so don't expect much posts from me, although I will be lurking around this forum for a while (probably until my sudden desire for a mac disappears, but t…

Many of the PPC PowerBooks has "lid closed mode" officially supported. The consumer-oriented iBooks did not officially support it; but the entire Intel line of MacBooks does.

Well, I've ran my Pismo like this for the entire week so far and no problems have come up. I can use OS9 and OSX Tiger without a glitch and no overheat issues, either. I have an …

If you have a copy of Tech Tool Pro 4 or the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with that Sawtooth, you can run that after installing the RAM to determine if any sticks are bad. Y…

Sounds to me that maybe the jumper settings on the hard drive and the optical drive needed to be checked. IIRC, both drives are linked to the same IDE cable. Therefore, you could…

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays.

The report post button looks like this if you are using the theme that puts the avatars on the correct side subsilver2: { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "…

OK. I would say you probably have no bot registrations and are looking at about 100% human spam registrations right now, most likely Chinese or Russians. The Mac question might hel…

I would agree with TL that handling the spammers as it currently stands is not so difficult. Many of them do post one or two things within an hour or so of having signed up, but ev…

Oh man... I had that monitor for years until it went *pop* one day and never worked again. It was a BEAST to move around for LAN parties & whatnot, but I LOVED that monitor…

Hmm, sounds like an interesting solution. However, as I said above, we have had virtually no spam-bot registrations since adding the anti-spam questions to the registration form, t…
