Nice. I love my BeigeG3MT. Maybe not as much as my 8500, but still plenty of love left over for sharing.

ReallyCool Dude! Talk like that got me almost ran off another fourm.The G5 Intel Elite would tell you to kick that crap to the curb like they did me. I say stick it to the man an…

Over the past couple days or so I've been working on a G3 mini tower I picked up on ebay for $30 shipped. So far all I've done is clean it up a bit, get it running, and check to se…

I haven't used email on my MP for a long time, and doubt that I will again, though I use mine daily for other things (since 1998). Would Mail V do the trick, I wonder? http://www.…

I was wondering if any of you can still successfully send email from your Newton. I've been able to set up Eudora to receive messages, but modern email servers seem to require SSL…

Yes, please clarify that. Thanks!

AFAIK, the Pismo has only one CCFL, at the bottom. In fact, I can't think of a 'book of that age that uses more than one. Coius -- do you have a list of which "older" books you're…

meh, for that price, you can't go wrong. Also, doing a replacement on backlights is a BIG thing. Very hard to do, so if you aren't in for spending a few hours doing it, go ahead. …

I'm going to take the plunge and get a backlight for my Pismo. Does this look like a trustworthy seller? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-LCD-CCFL-Backlight-APPLE-Powerbook-G3-14-1-WXGA_W0…

I bought a raedon 9700 off of ebay. it's alot faster than the stock video card. but its basically a radeon 9800 but with less memory. for 89.00 it wasnt a bad deal.... I'm happy…

G4s in (most) any form are great machines. I'm still rocking out with a dual 500MHz G4 tower as my main desktop, happily chugging away at Leopard. My main portable is also a PowerB…

My presto plus in the CC worked fine. But as stated I sold My CC on ebay... just too many computers on my desk... I kept my G4 Dual 1.42 and got rid of everything else.. the CC, e…

I use my QS 1ghz DP as a webserver, but before I got my Mac pro I used it daily - it was plenty capable in leopard!

Speaking of Photoshop... I don't think that would be a problem, even CS4 should be able to run fairly well if my experiences with it on Windows machines translate over (I'm runnin…

^^does it have the LC040 or the full 040 with FPU. I'd stick it in the CC, the speed boost and extra RAM will make it a sweet little machine. As for the OP's question, the 9700 i…

The 9700 Pro was a great card for the PC, should be great for a mac too. What do you think of that Presto Plus in the Color classic? I have a Presto plus in a LC 550 and was wonde…

What does everyone think of a Radeon 9700 Pro? Any good? I Bought one on ebay the other day.

If there are no drivers and the Mac doesn't recognize it at all, then unfortunately the only workaround will be to find a different wireless adapter. One that I use with a lot of s…

Hi I have a Powerbook g3 lombard running osx tiger and I am attempting to connect to the internet with a linksys wusb54gsc wireless addapter. There are no drivers for apple only w…

To clarify: 800k floppies were used on even older Macs than the 636. They're different to PC 720k floppies and not interchangeable. The USB floppy drives will only read and writ…

Thank you all for your prompt replies! I have another question: for transferring programs on 3.5" floppies, is it possible to connect an external floppy to the iMac's USB ports to …

Also, $35 for a DV is pretty good. Did they mention the speed? See here: http://www.lowendmac.com/profiles.htm

^^seconded, the time taken to transfer using 3.5" floppies quickly adds up, you'll soon learn to love an ethernet card.

$10 on an ethernet card for the 68k would pay for itself quickly.

is it possible to connect an external floppy to the iMac's USB ports to read them? Click to expand... Sure it is! That kind of drives is perfect.
