Well, the sad news is that they crashed the price on those hard drives so they could get rid of the extra inventory and remove the product from their stock. You'll have to get one…

My company is a reseller of VST/SmartDisk and we are out too. We've also been told they are gone. Sorry.

No worries man... You're Good to Go.

PC-100 or PC-133 RAM will work perfectly in their rated machines and below. In other words, your PowerBook G3 will work perfectly with "PowerBook" RAM.

Faster doesn't hurt, just make sure it's not slower.

thanks guys! (now all I gotta figure out is why the backlight doesn't come back on after sleep in OSX 10.1 but works ok in OS9.2.2 :-)

Probably either Driver - Incompatibility or Bug. [ 04-06-2002: Message edited by: D'Espice ]

Googlegear.com is the cheapest source of the 60-gigabyte IBM TravelStar 60GH. They're also a very reputable vendor and users from this forum have had excellent experience with them…

I think upgrading a 1400c at this point has diminishing returns. The 1400c was a venerable notebook when it was new, but it's pretty useless for even today's office applications. F…

List it on e-bay and put the proceeds towards either an iBook or a Titanium. rh

Well, I'm not making any plans on listing my new Laptop on ebay again, I just bought it there. Let's set this clear: I don't have the money to buy an iBook, even not a used one. […

Word 5 and ClarisWorks 4 are stellar for older machines. Also look into the iCab browser, and Eudora lite 3 as an email client. They all run nicely in low resource environments.

That's a good tip, I'll try to find those. As said, It's just a better typewriter for me at first, maybe something more when it really suites me. But I'm not going to spend $800 fo…

I actually ran 9.0.4 without complaint on my old 1400. I primarily ran Office 98 and PageMaker 6.5+. PageMaker didn't run that well until I got a Newer 250 upgrade and 64mb of ra…

Of course more RAM helps! Doesn't matter what computer you have - if you are running Mac OS X, you need to get all the RAM you can. I suggest having AT LEAST 384 MB of RAM to run …

Thanks Cheesepuff. What are you running? How much ram do you have, and what kind of improvements can I expect?

I had a PowerBook G3 400 MHz with 192 MB of RAM, and running Mac OS X 10.1 was useless because it was too slow. I upped the RAM to 768 and it had a HUGE improvement from booting up…

Thanks again. Just curious: why do you have two laptops?
