Pioneer DVR-110D + Mac friendly USB enclosure (or USB and Firewire for $20 more)

The LaCie one works great.

For old Macs with limited RAM/Processor speed, which Web/Email apps are best? I'm running a Wallstreet with 256MB RAM, OS 10.4.4 Firefox seems to use 10mb less RAM but slightly mo…

Mutt and Pine (the only two text-based email clients I can think of) both support IMAP and Gmail (which is just POP3).

And for older Macs running older System / Mac OS versions you can rely on the iCab browser.

redhot, how in the world did you get Tiger to run on a Wallstreet? Isn't that essentially impossible?

Camino could be a good choice of browser to use, Gmail works well in it too if you don't mind using the web interface.

I wrote extensively about my experiences installing Tiger on a Wallstreet. I think Tiger is the best OS for these old machines, bar none. As for which browser to use on a Wallstr…

Since you're running Tiger it's not a big deal, but one thing to consider is that ealier versions of OS X came with earlier versions of Safari, which are obviously not as widely co…

That's really amazing. . . If so many are running Tiger well on their Wallstreets, it really inspires me to get a larger drive for my iBook 466 and upgrade to Tiger as well.

Yes, I honestly believe that many people put way too much emphasis on "needing" a faster (re: newer = more $$$) machine in order to run their everyday software efficiently. I purc…

I agree. Mhz is not everything. I usually get 6-8 years out of each Mac i buy (been using them since 1984, and Apple ][’s since 1979). I still have some Quadra 605’s running Ope…

I have been using the G3-optimized version of Deerpark on my Pismo. After reinstalling the OS (had to partition the drive to put Ubuntu on there) I didn't find any speed difference…

I've been waiting for the Logitech v400 Notebook mouse since November. Does anyone have any idea when they might actually release it? I am so tempted to buy the v500 but if the v40…

Well, with all the waiting I went and bought a Imac, now I am thinking about returning it and buying a MBP. I upgraded the RAM to 1 gig total, will the 512mb stick fit in the MBP …

Yes, the memory is the same.

I was going to say that you wouldn't be able to use the memory because portables usually use SO-DIMMs while desktop machines do not, but it does seem to be that they use the same m…

I bought an Intel iMac DIMM on eBay (it was the original RAM that came in the iMac, the seller had replaced it). It's definitly a SO-DIMM, and identical in all specs to the Crucial…
