Subject: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hi all,
Anyone still use one of these?:
<http://www.lowendmac.com/pb2/g3.shtml>
I'd love to get my hands on a good unit but they are very hard to
find in Singapore. Any users care to share their experiences with the
Kanga?
I've used this wonderful machines, however, I sold my last one on eBay
a few weeks ago.
They are fast. I prefer OS 8.6 on them. However, I used 9.1 because a
couple of programs required it.
They are fast and rugged. I wish I still have mine. However, I need
DVD playing on my laptop, and every new program requires OS X.2 or .3
, so I had to sell it, and with the funds I bought a Pismo.
Another thing, They have the BEST sound of ANY Mac laptop that I have
ever heard. Sound like a ghood quality portable stereo.
Hope this helps.

For what it's worth, Pismo 400 and 500's are going for pennies on the
dollar on eBay these days. Think it's due to the newest Powerbooks
just released. I would recommend just getting the Pismo over the
Kanga. While the Kanga is a great machine, the Pismo still has most of
what made the Kanga great, but Firewire and USB as well. . .not to
mention full OS X support. I just saw a Pismo 400 on eBay the other
day with 512 meg RAM sell for only $390.00!! Depressing for me. . .I
bought my Pismo/500 new. . . for an amount I'm not ready to disclose.
