Re: Tiger onto my iBook
I purchased Tiger and, expectedly, it came on DVD. I have a 700m Mhz, G3 dual USB iBook. I tried to install Tiger on my external DVD drive, but no luck. I couldn't select it as my startup drive in System Preferences. Do you have an iPod? You can use it to install Tiger on your iBook. I believe I saved this from one of the major Mac sites (MacFixIt, etc). ^ Turn your iPod into a bootable Tiger installation disk. Here's how: 1.Make a backup copy of your iPod if necessary (it will be erased in the next step!) 2.Using Disk Utility, format (Erase) the iPod. 3.Use the Restore feature in Disk Utility to create an image of the Tiger DVD on your iPod (drag the DVD into the source textbox; drag your iPod into the destination textbox). 4.You can then plug your iPod in any Mac and launch the Install Tiger software, let it reboot, and follow the instructions to install it! When you're done, you might want to re-erase the iPod, and restore the latest iPod Software on your iPod. (Yep, did this with my iPod mini for my wife's 500MHz G3. Something that's worth mentioning, is that this method (from any Firewire drive, not just an iPod) is better than installing to the computer in question via target disc mode. The installation routine makes many decisions based on the hardware that the installer is being run on, and of course, is blind to any hardware surrounding the drive if you turn your iMac/eMac/iBook in target mode. And AFAIK, you won't even have a usable install if you try to go from one processor family to another. IOW, if you have a G5 and do an install on your G4 iBook in target mode, your installation won't work.) ^ ciao, bob -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: calendar for syncing 2 or 3 schedules? not iCal...
I would be interested in using iCal...but noticed on the apple download site it is for OSX. Was or is there a version for a 9x user? thanks Kristina -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Clueless in Grand Rapids -
I'm considering purchasing a pb g3 wsII 300mhz, running 8.5 with 192MB/8g hd, DVD card and drive. Haven't worked or played with macs since 1994 (can you even imagine???) so I'm essentially clueless - but hey, I found this group so I can't be beyond help (I hope). I've read how to trick it to get beyond the 192 and get to 512 for RAM. That's good - but as far as operating systems go - where does that max out? How far down the road is it before the latest web browsers won't work with an ancient OS? Also, with everything SCSI are there any 3rd party adapters out there for plugging in digital cameras/dv recorders? I'm not trying or expecting to run the world with this computer - I'd just like to own a mac again and am wondering what the bottom line expectations should be with this unit. What will it do and what will it not do. I'm open to any and all suggestions and even heavy criticism at this point - wish I was as savvy as most of you on here, but all that went out the window 10 years ago - and God knows in the computer world, a day is as a thousand years.
