Re: Is Apple really moving to x86 architechture?! [signed]
Please remember all the hoopla about Apple shifting to Unix with OSX. Cries of doomsday and a big Wass'up. Apple shifting to an open system??? It's all been uphill pretty much. The biggest problem Apple had with Motorola/IBM was delivering a faster chip for their laptops, one of the bigger selling sectors. There seems to be a wider horizon opening up. Intel is a chip making company period. IBM had so little expertise they had to sell their computer manufacturing unit. Remember IBM was responsible for Microsoft, practically giving them DOS, figuring it wasn't worth much and clearing the way for BG and crew to monopolize the OS for pc's. Open vistas ahead, maybe even getting game for Mac! I'm sure this is a well thought strategy for the future.

Re: Lombard snags [signed]
As a former Lombard owner I can empathize. It had a serious flaw on wake up and was known as the sleep of death. It would be worth it to send it to Daystar - http://daystartechnology.com/ and upgrade. It solves your dvd problem and gives you the altivec engine. Then you'll never have these problems. (I was never able to get Panther on my Lombard -got a kernel panic) I plan on upgrading. There is also a person named Chuck Wright on e.Bay who specializes in Lombards and has scads of parts. I bought a logic board from him and was very satisfied with his handling of the sale. He also turned me on to a website that has the service manual for the Lombard (it's in pdf format) http://www.whoopis.com/computer_repair/PowerBook_G3_Series_Bronze_kbd.pdf Happy sailing, (I really like the old Lomby) BTW, I also remember it being picky about memory ups. = Mike Amato mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Kristina [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: G-Books G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 18:50:06 -0500 To: G-Books G-Books@mail.maclaunch.com Subject: Re: Lombard snags on 6/16/05 2:56 PM, Kristina at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: RESTART It looks like it has a serious hardware problem, maybe the hard disk or the memory.

Re: Lombard snags [signed]
I aplogize. Is the ban on service manuals infinite ie is there a cutoff point for age of model? I took my Lombard to a local Mac shop and they wouldn't try to repair it saying they can't get parts anymore. = Mike Amato mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Laurent Daudelin [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 16/06/05 21:03, Michael J.

We certainly don't want to have Apple's legal after Dan, the List Mom because that would mean the end of the G-Books list (and all the other lists, for that matter). I will ignore it this time but posting such URL is supposed to result in a ban. Again, I know you did it to help. If you folks need to post help to disassemble a PowerBook, post the PowerBook FixIt URL instead. -Laurent.
