Hello List: >From time to time you have all answered my inquiries about the Lombard/Pismo series. I was looking to upgrade a bit (from a Wallstreet). The main thing I wanted was built-in USB and DVD support. Also, I wanted the smaller, lighter form factor.
Anyway, I did a trade in/upgrade with MacResq for a 400 mhz Lombard and couldn't be happier. It has 192 megs right now, but I notice 128 of it is in the lower slot and I just happen to have 128 meg module for the upper slot laying around. Can anyone point me to a Lombard upgrade page? OS 10.2.3 runs noticeably faster, and I plan to go to 10.2.4 next chance I have time to tinker with it. Downside: 6 gig drive. (I am bidding on a Travelstar on eBay even as we speak.) The 67 mhz bus speed is a downer, too. I suspect that 400 mhz processor could really rock in a faster logic board. The Pismo series looked good to me as well. They are priced rather high for their age, IMO. Looks like a lot of people still want that classic case. In any event, I think all the pink screen stories I read here made me pass the Pismo. This is probably pointless on my part; my tech guy says he has *never* seen a Pismo come into his shop with a case of pink screen. Thanks for all the input over the last six months. -- Bob Shutts http://www.jolietlawfirm.com NOTICE This transmission contains information from the law firm of Shutts, Shutts and Portlock which is confidential, is intended solely for the use of the addressee named above and may be legally privileged communications.
