Most likely it is the same thing packaged differently to prevent price matching among retailers; Apple did something similar a while back with the Performas, selling the 637 to one…
They had different software packages bundled with them. One had business software and paper samples while the other had home software and paper samples.
The hardware is the same.

there is an ergonomic Mac ADB keyboard w/trackpad here: http://www.adessoinc.com/egpdtmn.htm
but you'd need a ADB/USB adapter... not a great expense for the adapter, i think they'…
Most ADB keyboard's power buttons won't work through an adapter. You will have to turn on the system using the power button on the tower. If it's on the floor, it could be pretty…
I just upgraded from a Beige G3 to a G4/450 and was in the same position as you. I had been using the stock ADB Beige keyboard & a Kensington Tubro Mouse. I bought a Griffin Te…
To wjpjr-so how did you get your G4? Mine's been on order since september! Hope it's all it's cracked up to be. It seems that the conclusion appears to be to buy a USB keyboard to …
to timeop-just lucky I guess. My 450 was ordered as a 500 on 9/8. Called Apple on 10/15. Had it reinstated/downgraded to 450 at original price on 10/14. 450 in hand on 10/20. My Ap…
i have a Umax, rather old now i guess, model 610, SCSI... works great (not spectacular quality though, can't expect that for the price! less than $100 new) with my G3 beige minitow…
Hi,
You have to make sure that software is easily available for whichever scanner you buy. i.e. buy from a company that'll support the software through the Mac OS software revisi…
Are you looking for a USB scanner? If so, I bought the Umax 1220U. It works really well, kinda noisy when it scans though. It was $150 when I bought it but you can probably find…
I bought a umax 2100u and it really rocks and its only 120$ but for a cheaper solution i would have to say a microtek slimscanc6-usb its only 80$ and has very good resolution.
I have a copy of that MacAddict issue. The article didn't mention any specific kind of paint, but two of the pictures showed cans of latex gloss enamel being used. Besides that, it…
Yup, the monitor is already black, so it's cool
Thanks a bunch! I'll post the url after I get it all painted up purdy, and get some pics of it.
Any one else done this? I'd like…
pardon me for saying so, and not to throw a wet blanket, but...
isn't this just a bit esoteric?
i mean, you seem to be extremely well-versed in the technology and doubtless your …
I would love 2, but in Canada an iMac is 1800.00, and I don't have the money to get a new system. Things like a HD and a USB card are good cause I can get USB devices that can late…
iMan_ca, have a gander: http://lowendmac.com/ppc/5400.shtml

click on the 'Upgrades' link and then scroll down the page to the 5400 model..…
Gabe,
A processor upgrade and additional RAM is a good start.
There is a good article posted at the barefeats web site -- http://www.barefeats.com/cobra2.html on the performace …
You need to use a crossover cable that has wires 1&2 swtiched on one end with 3&6. These are available anywhere ethernet cables are sold.
If you are using a standard patch…
Well, regardless of why I need a crossover cable (used to connect to hubs, I thought) instead of a regular patch cable, I purchased one this afternoon and I'm now downloading all 1…
The reason you need a crossover cable is that one pair is transmit and the other is receive. When you have a hub it connects those two pairs together. Without it you have to connec…
I am actually not confused, instead I am quite aware of the differences between a megabit and a megabyte. And, therefore, my calculations told me that 100 megabits is equal to abou…
