Re: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original
I have a kanga with a 5GB HD os 9.2.2 64MB Ram and it has to be one of the best laptops I have used. Only problem is finding the ram for it and the expansion bay the minimum for that would be floppy and CD. I don't use mine any ore due to the screen becoming cracked by my foot back in January of this year. But it was a great laptop with very little flaws but the flaws are there. It lacks USB ports but has Serial ADB and SCSI. Its proscessor is slower than a 250MHZ Wallstreet or even a 233 with L2 Wallstreet. If you are strapped for cash I recommend it it served me well and I have plans to replace its screen eventually.

Re: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original
Andrew I thought all Kangas came with 64MB of ram. Steve Greer -Original Message- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2005 10:34 AM To: G-Books Subject: Re: Anyone still using the Powerbook G3 Kanga Original I have an immaculate Kanga that I use as a backup in case my 12 G4 goes down, or for when I get fits of nostalgia and want to play Marathon or Doom II. It is still a nice machine, though it is very thick and heavy by today's standards. Mine only 32MB of ram, so I'm using OS 8.6 and both RAM Doubler and Speed Doubler with great results. If my G4 ever did have problems, this makes a fine substitute, as it runs Office 2001 very well, gets right on the wireless network with the cheap Lucent card I bought last year, and overall feels just as fast or faster (old OS and apps will do that) than the new machine.

Re: Less is more- a little story (Gather 'round!)
I have a happier tale that involves replacing a Powerbook Lets go back to well early September 2004 I being a student in HS need a laptop due to my bad handwriting. First laptop was a Thinkpad 755cd that lasted from 9/03-9/04 I bought a Powerbook 5300ce that lasted me until its flaws started to show their ugly heads. The keyboard cable broke in an expedition to repair it so it was useless even if I replaced the damaged power connectors. In October 2004 I bought off eBay a G3 kanga and I have been happy with it ever since with 64MB ram and the 250MHZ G3 it outperforms my old 117MHZ 5300. Just goes to show you a old 7.7LB Powerbook can still make you happy even 7 years after it was built.

Hey all, My bronze Gbook and I-- You couldn't separate us, and I just flat out loved that machine. All it took was some terrible circumstances and a shady motherfucker like my ex-roomate's boyfriend, and that was the end of the romance. Several days later, I had to watch as lombard parts went up on ebay from some undisclosed place in jersey, painfully aware, but unable to prove, that they were probably the remnants of my computer. (Nothing that was sold could be tracked back to mine, but I knew the guy lived in jersey. My keyboard was partly broken, and the only part not listed was --drum roll--- the keyboard. Bastard.) So, friendly reminder from an ex-owner of the world's best laptop- watch your stuff, don't even think for a SECOND to let it out of your sight. It WILL walk. Since then, I bought a 12 ibook. Yeah, it rocks and it was really cheap (799), but I miss those sexy curves and jaw-dropping matte black case. I took so much pride in having the last version of an apple laptop with the upside-down illuminated apple-- just seeing the right side up one on my ibook is a constant sore reminder. Someday when I'm not a poor college kid, I'm going to buy one for myself again. Its up to you guys to keep them in good shape, so when you're ready to move on to a G5 'book, I'll be ready with a loving home.

Re: Aluminum and Alzheimer's
IF your worried go and sell the Aluminum Ibook and get one made out of regular plastic and you will no longer about the very evil aluminum. But aluminum was never linked to any disease and it is a myth about aluminum that you are worried about. Quote From Website Most experts will tell you, however, that aluminum is not a cause of Alzheimer's disease. You can safely continue using your antiperspirants, drink the city water (aluminum is used in some water systems to remove silt), wrap left-overs in aluminum foil, take antacids, and cook with your aluminum pots and pans.

I know the links to alzheimer's disease are debated, but I personally don't cook on aluminum or drink from aluminum soda cans. Seems to me the TiBook would be safer.
