As for the base, all Apple base stations, including the graphite, have a built in modem. The extreme station has a USB port for USB printers. Don't pay more than $95.00 for a graphite or snow, as the Extreme station is under $200 new.

Re: New Mac(s) for Work
Thanks to everyone for their insightful thoughts. I have decided to go the pro route and get the G5's instead of more lower performance models. Even if the performance gap is not that dramatic or we could get by on non-pro models, in the near future the dual processors and 64 bit processing the G5's offer will leap the performance gap when software is optimized. Again, thanks. Best Regards, Wayne Schneck Marketing Manager FME 800.327.5676 407.296.5880 407.296.5886 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

And what is a fair price for all of this on ebay or if I buy from another place snip Don't pay more than $95.00 for a graphite or snow, as the Extreme station is under $200 new. Unless the bottom has fallen out of the prices in the past 2-3 weeks, I wouldn't quite go that strong. I know the price of a Dual-Ethernet (Snow) Base Station was running between $100 and $150. I would think anything up to $130 or $140 would be reasonable. If the prices have dropped, I haven't run across it yet. The only real difference between the Extreme (802.11g) and the regular (802.11b) are the transfer speeds between computers within the wireless network. Extreme works best with a T1 business connection as the source. It's most advantageous if one is going to be transferring huge files from computer to computer on a frequent basis. With a dial up connection as your main source for the internet, your best option would be a graphite base station. That *wouldn't* be my recommendation. As Laurent pointed out, the Graphite ABS has had too many internal problems to make it a guaranteed trouble-free purchase. There's no way of knowing whether a hack decided to fix his own Graphite unit and made a royal mess of the insides. Plus, the Snow ABS has the extra Ethernet port, so a future upgrade to broadband won't require a new ABS. The OP will be able to connect via a Local Area Network (hard-wired Ethernet cable) *and* Wide Area Network (broadband Internet) with the Snow ABS. When shopping for one on eBay, be sure to check that it has a built in modem, as the lesser expensive ones didn't. Excellent advice. That applies to *any* used Apple ABS.

Panther on Walstreet 300MHz ???
I know Panther doesn't support non-USB Macs, but as always there are ways round this limitation (sometimes)... Are there ways of installing Panther on a Wallstreet ?

Well, at least sort of. I picked it up -- love the box, the packaging, the manuals, the design... but I ordered the British model and it came with British AC plug, which is incompatible with Dutch sockets. The battery's drained, so I can't use it yet. :I I completely forgot about this issue, although I partially blame people at the shop.

Whether it's worth it or not is a rather subjective question, and depends a lot on what you plan to do with the machine, as well as your own expectations. It also would depend on how much RAM you have installed. I would recommend maxxing it out if you haven't already done so. JR -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Installing OS X on Walstreet 300MHz
I also had this happen. I was able to get around it by: Erase the hard drive-twice. Repartition if needed for the 8 GB exception. (Unnecessary on a HD with less than or equal to 8 GB) Run Disk Repair on the newly erased HD. (You would be surprised) Install OS X on the newly erased HD. (Install OS X BEFORE installing anything else like OS 9.) This has worked like a charm. Also be alert that certain types of RAM won't work. OS X on a WS PB is very very picky about the RAM.

Eudora Question, from OS 9 to OS X
Hi, Listers! I've been using Eudora in several computers and several versions, and I always could move my massive amount of mail (around 35 Mb) from computer to computer and from several OSes, up to OS 9.2.2. Of course I have it backed up in CD, but I like to have it on hand. Now I have a Pismo with OS X.3 and I'm wondering if it would be as easy to move, what with the newer (to me) way of storing things, where should I move my Mail' file? Best regards.

2 512 sticks vs. 1 1-GB stick
I'm ordering a 17 powerbook. Should I get 2 sticks of 512 RAM, or 1 stick of 1GB RAM? Is there an advantage to spreading the 1 GB over the two slots? I'm thinking that if I do the 1GB stick in one slot, then I can add another one later and not have to mess with the one already there. Second question: Can I have 512 in one slot and 1 GB in the other, or do they have to match?
