Such as PowerBook G3, PowerBook G3 Series, PowerBook G3, and PowerBook for the "Kanga/3500" and "WallStreet/Mainstreet" models and "Lombard" and "Pismo." Or original PowerBook G3, G3 Series, Bronze Keyboard, and FireWire. Or the one that isn't supported for OS X vs the heavy old ones that run OS X vs. the lighter one that replaced it vs. the one with FireWire. Clear as mud. ;-) It's because Apple's product naming conventions since the return of Steve Jobs have been so ambiguous that we use code names here, revision numbers and MHz ratings when referencing iMacs, and so on. Apple's simplification of the product line has created a heck of a lot of confusion. And to help everyone out, we even clarify which model is which on the list FAQ. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Every day is payday in a labor of love. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
