Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Using my friend's Blackberry to connect to the internet was greatly helped by Turbo mode. However, does rendering of images take up much CPU power, …

You're going to make all of us "dead portable" owners jealous!

Good luck. I'm tempted to drag my Portable out to play, but alas I'm out of town this weekend. I'll do it when I get back.

This page http://labs.opera.com/news/2009/03/13/ implies that Turbo Mode compresses the images, but the page lays out the same. Thus, it's more for connections that are bandwidth…

Not bad at all. I still have my iBook G4 (1.33), though I'm now using my TiBook/867 a lot more (bigger screen, and I'm trying to eat my dogfood more with Classilla -- between Class…

Lucky SOB...

Use it to play Civilization! http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/demos_updates/civilizationiii.html Or use it for chatting, surfing non-flash sites, iTunes, DVD watching, …

Are you referring to the "oldworld rom" or openfirmware, whatever its called? Even though there is no AGP in these, I'd still put it in the G3 category because it is A) a G3 and …

Does the portable even work?

Great! What computer are you coming from?

Man I have a Amiga 4000 in my storage unit. Video Toaster boards, OS 3.9, the Flyer board and this card called the Farajouda (sp) card that provides S-Video in/out for the Toaster.…

Yes. The 512K will access the 800K drive as a 400K drive with the 64K ROMs. You can also format it as a bootable 800K MFS drive which is an amazingly useful thing! Follow these ins…

Very nice score! That thing sounds like quite the beast. Especially with the DVD-ROM . Replace the HDD and add another 256mb of RAM and you're flying. The pismos are great perfo…

It is nice to have the original box/docs/software. The dead HD should be easy enough to replace.

It was my fault actually, I had my private messages disabled. Just changed the setting back again. I'll take the discussion back into PM, should work now.

A meet up would be a great idea!

Heh! Yeah, I'm pretty lame, too, so I spend a lot of time on Craigslist and Kijiji. It's always nice to have some locals around, though we're pretty spread out, from what I can tel…

Gee, "local" competition for Kijiji and Craigslist looking for old Macs! I'm in Red Deer and have driven to Calgary before to scoop up an old 68K Mac; I got my Mac Plus with the Br…

iMac600 - For some reason I am unable to reply to your PM, not sure if it's aboard issue or what... so I'll post it here I opened up one of the donor machines. The HD carrier …

I see the G4 iMac being a hot item someday too, but not the G5 and later, mostly because the designs are, in a sense, quite boring. Click to expand... Same could be said for pr…

I am 1995 and nostalgic

I think they'll get to be more of collectables after the following have happened: 1. G3s stop showing up in surplus lots. Right now, schools are still unloading them. 2. The gene…

How badly borked is it? Click to expand... BADLY! I had it hooked up and no-go! I AM VERY TIRED . . . of fixing these ^&&%%$$##$% PowerBooks . . . {…

iMac600, I have a couple of Classics here that are basically parts donors. If you need the drive mounts, I'd be happy to pull them out and send them to you. PM with a mailing addre…

anyone have a copy of macbench 1 and 2? seems the ones sent to me in PM are garbage. they dont open/corrupted.
