Does anyone know where I can find a higher resolution LCD for my poor clamshell? I love it to bytes but I cannot for the life of me use 800X600.

porter Of course you can, but I deliberately wrote 'working computer', which is entirely different from a functional computer without an OS. dogbiscuit Make sure also that you d…

You mean iSerial doesn't help?

That isn't a problem limited to the Newton. The Amiga shares it. MS-DOS shares it. In a sense, I would argue that our sense of entitlement is a form of greed. Though, on the wh…

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Click to expand... ... and so began the quest of Richard Stahlman for free software. I doubt if many of those newton developers still …

This is a subject that has been picking at me for some time. I have noticed very little "free" software for my newtons, most of it is shareware. What is worse is the limitations th…

.... and it is an offence to do so when the Mac was originally sold with one. Click to expand... I can sell a car without it being roadworthy as long as the buyer is aware.

Oh I see, I'm really with it, just didn't know it...

You are already running the latest version of 10.4! Apple's OS numbering goes 10.4.8, 10.4.9, 10.4.10, 10.4.11, etc. Generally, later version provide bug fixes and general improve…

Yeah, I think that makes sense. This is off the subject a little but, I'm using 10.4.11 now, can anyone give me any reason to upgrade to 10.4.3 or 10.4.4...4...5...6...etc (or to …

If the machine is for personal use then I would say that you're pretty much in the clear. Things like this are only really dodgy if you are using an install of an OS or other softw…

Yeah well, I do want to be all legal like so I'll look for an original 10.4 retail install package off eBay. I had also heard that some hacks were required for Leopard to run as w…

Technically speaking, it is not possible to give away, let alone sell, a working Mac without including the original or some suitable System/OS, and it is an offence to do so when t…

Just to add my $0.03 (weak US dollar, you know,) my general theory is that the OS that shipped with the computer is always okay; otherwise you need the disc. So a dual 450 MHz G4 …

Technically speaking, they should have transferred the OS license with the computer itself. If they didn't do that then, properly speaking, it is the responsibility of the purchas…

Or just fix the cable. The inverter cable's wires are easily re-insulated with heatshrink tubing. Since replacement would require disassembly anyway, there's no additional work inv…

A Mac without an OS, when it is capable of working, is only a trip to the seaside short of being a boat-anchor. The idea that a recipient should put up with having no OS for 'lega…

I think that most people would consider it legal if it is the version of Mac OS X that the machine originally shipped with. Apple doesn't have anything like serials numbers or act…

usually if you posses the disc that was used to install it (either Apple-Shipped or Retail) then it means you own it. Just hop onto eBay and find a 10.4 disc. It will most likely…

Nobody cares [about the legality of it]... (edited for offensiveness)

Hi there, I have a G4, which I just got, running OSX 10.4 and I need to know if I'm running a legal copy. Does Mac issue anything like the Window$ certificate? Is there any kind o…

ugh damn...any idea where I can get one? ebay? Thanks!
