Find a well cared for 12" PowerBook G4 1.33 or 1.5 GHz model.

A well-oiled windows machine will run pretty decently. I just bought Windows XP Pro for this machine I just built, just so I could have windows. Sure, I can run all my apps perfe…

I like the Wallstreets, have 5 of them.

If things fall through with the 1400, I'll consider it. Seems like there are a ton of resources out there for the 1400, but to my understanding, most of them apply to the 2400 as w…

What about the Duo or 2400?

Well, if things turn out as planned, I will have a Powerbook 1400c (166mHz 64 RAM) and a Lucent WaveLAN silver. *me hopes school's WiFi allows WEP* EDIT: ...which is good sinc…

This one has 2.0.

Yea, I use a silver and a bronze. You also need to make sure the hinges on old G3 laptops are good.

Which OS is on your 120? Newton OS 1.x is generally regarded as terrible. I sent a Newton 120 2.0 firmware to a member in the US ages ago, unfortunately if didn't survive the trip…

How about a PowerBook G3? That way, you'll be able to use a newer OS and printer with it. I have often run into a few issues with older systems and hardware/ software compatibility…

did you run a hardware test? i wouldn't be too worried about no chiming. my sawtooth g4 has been doing that for a long time with no ill side effects.

get a 3400. 5300's weren't the best ones ever.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! That crashing sound you hear is the sound of Windows breaking. No, I didn't throw my ThinkPad through one. Microsoft Windows ju…

No more than $50, if thats even possible. Will WaveLan silver work with WEP?

Batteries are going to be an issue since only brand new ones (on wallstreet G3s anyway) do 3 hours and used ones that still work will likely get you an hour or so. You can use 2 b…

I just need something that I can use at school, without worrying about it getting damaged or anything like that. I was thinking along the lines of a 3400C, or even a PowerBook G3. …

I got my 120 last week I am getting there with finding my way around it now. It has been quite useful, but the handwriting recognition is a bit rubbish. I'm guessing that is b…

Update... Success! I have two hard drives now on the optical drive ata bus.

An update: I'm short on cash, but I was able to scrape together enough money to buy everything but the new processor and the video card. I also ended up getting a USB 2.0 card beca…
