Go to Outpost.com and the VST DVD upgrade kit is $389 on pre-order. Still fairly pricey, but just barely low enough where it was worth it for me. I'll know in a couple of weeks h…

The best way to get DVD on a Lombard PowerBook 333 is to order it WHEN you buy your computer (you can only add this on when you order through the Apple Store) Apple basically gives…

There's an interesting report on www.pbzone.com about VST's DVD module being exactly the same as Apple's.

yeah, same module as Apple's different type of decoder, the same one used in the wallstreet kits. Many still feel the decoder built into the lombard is much, much better than the P…

That's right, and this is one of the "keys" to trouble free DVD viewing. (No audio/video sync problems). A lot of my friends with G4's have this problem and it seems that the mai…

Nope, you must get the 'DVD Option' when you order your Lombard 333, or else you can buy the VST Kit with the PC Card decoder.

Good Luck to you Osaka. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif [This message has been edited by Silver Surfer (edited 01-31-2000).]

I can't comment on the VST drive for Lombards but if the decoder card that the VST drive uses is the same as the Wallstreets, then it's the same thing... Lombard's are noticeably b…

I bought the VST DVD for my Lombard and LOVE IT! It works great!. I travel a lot and it is great to watch movies while on the airplane. So what if it's not "a perfect screen image…

"OsakaBill", Just in case you might want to know, it's "Lombard", the curviest street in the world, not "Lomabard". And "Lombard" was a hoax, too. The correct name (confirmed by a…

I find it interesting that so many people who replied to my little thread refer to ordering the Powerbook from Apple. I am wondering, have most people purchased their Powerbook th…

the dr bott case also looks pretty nice..... i got a tom bihn case....it's nothing special....but it protects the computer (metal sides with padding)... what does it use bluetoot…

The finish is beginning to bubble off my Ti on its own. In my opinion the Ti finish is not worth the protection. Cool case though.

Just the thing to advertise that you're carrying something valuable and expensive. I prefer sliding my iBook into my backpack, and presto incognito. I use a West Ridge design Ice…

My Ti is great so far, after 3 months. It was THROWN by my little nephew to the floor while it was sleeping. NO damage. I think people, including myself, should be more careful …

Why would you need a "pilot" for a near-perfect computer? The Hardlite is the nicest case for the TiBook I've seen yet. The price point is nice, too. I like the traditional silv…

if i were looking for a case for my powerbook, i would find something tough to protect it. I wouldn't just use a sleeve. my tom bihn is nice in that the sides of the case are metal…

I bought the Brenthaven 1 from the Apple store and I love it.

Pelican makes a Decent case as well.

The bluetooth offers anti theft + some sort of storage apparently. I assume its just got a memory card in it with a blue tooth adapter or something. Looks pretty snazzy. I have a B…

Sean, how much have you seen it for? I haven't found any pricing info for it.

Hi! You're not alone. I had the same problem with my old PowerBook G3/233 with 160 MB of RAM, OS 9.2.2. I tried everything - zapped PRAM, rebuilt hard drive, used Norton Utiltie…

Doesnt sound all that practical to me... a laptop format for a desk use only, where you need an external battery, and where the thing weights 7 pounds? Heck the web site says that…
