I'm running Jaguar nicely on my Pismo w/384MB RAM and a 30GB HD. Any ATA drive volume (what's the biggest these days, 60GB?) of right dimension (if memory serves, a 12mm 2.5" max.) will fit the Pismo, and apparently you can put in the larger RAM and it just works. That's my next upgrade, a 512 chip! <snip> >One minor niggle is on the PC (and ones I've used since the mid 90's), you >could tap on the trackpad to mouse click - do the newer >iBooks/PowerBooks support this? </snip> That's the way I've always used a PowerBook. I used to have a PB 190cs with the "smart trackpad" that allowed tapping. All the modern PBs allow this, it just has to be set up in the pertinent control panel and in the case of OSX, in System Prefs. Turtle-Bear -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
