Re: I need networking help
If CCC doesn't work for you, perhaps Super Duper will. . . Just a thought. If you've never taken a Clamshell apart before, I would tell you it's somewhat tedious, but really not that hard. You need some small screwdrivers (Phillips, flat-head, Torx T8), and good instructions. Go to: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iBook-G3-Clamshell-Hard-Drive-Replacement/116/1 . This will take you step by step. I printed up the instructions and taped the screws to the applicable section of each sheet. It'll take you about 45 - 60 minutes to get the thing apart (less after you know what you're doing. . .). It's not hard, just a bit of a pain in the patoot. I've done enough of these to where I no longer dread opening them up any more, and you would be surprised how well these laptops perform with Tiger and a 512 meg ram stick in them.

(Obviously, I'm paraphrasing here.) But, no one has asked the obvious question, Why would anyone join a group dedicated to Power PC G machines and ask why you are still using them? Duh! If you didn't have a reason, wouldn't you just move on to a Mac Mini (I own two, but still love my Power PC's) or an iMac and leave this group? I'm not trying to flame on here, but I just think it's odd that a G-List member would question the reasons for owning and working on the very kinds of machines the list is dedicated to. I mean, I wonder why there are people still working with System 6, but obviously they have their own reasons. I wouldn't join the group and then question why they are doing it. It just seems a bit odd to me. Does it seem strange to anyone else? Would it have made sense to ask this question in another group? Would, for example, the Intel-Group have answers to such a question? Perhaps so, but apparently nobody else thought that this was odd other than me, so I'm guessing this was the right place to pose your questions. To explain myself: 1) I am not a native speaker, so the language barrier may be an issue. I don't think so. Your English is better than a lot of Americans! :-) 2) I started using Macs of any kind about two years ago. So my knowledge of Macs is very new to me, but old (in lack of a better word I cannot cum up with right now) to others. 3) I recently got some older Power Macs, got infected by their design and them being different, e.g. NOT Windows and NOT Intel. You're beginning to answer your own questions, then! 4) I come from a Linux background. Updates come regularly and Linux can be used on old machines as well as on new machines. But the point is, as long as you go with supported distros and supported open source software projects, you'll always recieve updates and security fixes. But no Linux distros come from the manufacturer of the hardware. Apple has a financial incentive to move people up to new hardware. The Linux distros don't. 5) I've just finished installing Mac OS X and I'm working with it a little bit now. I like Mac OS X and in my oppinion starting with Mac OS X 10.3 Panther it is really a great and reliably operating system. I think Tiger is the ultimate OS for Power PC G Machines, but it does love ram. Is your Blue White maxed out at 1024 megs of ram? It makes a noticeable difference in performance, and even though it is not intuitive, I find Tiger performs noticeably faster than Panther. 6) Now I'm looking at it -- with the Linux background -- and come to see that Panther really isn't safe anymore. And that is not the worst. If I use Panther, I cannot use a lot of free software that I would like to use (like Firefox, VLC, OpenOffice, and so on). What good is an operating system without applications? That's like buying the I'm a PC (and I'm cheap!) But, of course, then you have to buy a bunch of programs to run on your new, stripped PC. These would have been included in the more expensive Mac. Where's the value now? As for as the inability to run the free software on the older G Machines, I think you just have to bite the bullet and go with Tiger and load the computers up with lots o' ram. 7) A lot of people replied that they are using old software that runs quite happily on their Power Macs (and not at all on Intel-Macs). Well, my situation is different since I don't have and never had older Mac software. But, this does explain why they are using the older G machines. You asked - they answered. 8) And last but not least -- I wanted to ask you G-users what you are using your Power Macs for. And if you don't experience the same difficulties regarding software as I do. No? Then I'm sorry. Maybe it is the language, or I'm just crazy. If you run Tiger, I think you'll find fewer issues, at least for the time being. Of course, it'll just be a matter of time before a lot of the freeware out there will require Intel and Leopard, Snow Leopard or OS 10.7 (Garfield?). Either way I want to thank you all for your participation and your time. I really appreciate it. I've read a lot about people using Macs since decades and running their old but still functional software on them. I've read that people would like newer Macs but the money issue stand between wanting and getting. And I've read that I shouldn't tell people what the are gonna do or not do (for which I still feel responsible and I'd like to apologise). No apology necessary

Re: 1Ghz G3 upgrade?
First, I'm amazed at the dual G4 processor for a G3 beige or BW! I've never seen these before! Way cool! I wonder if any of them are still around. . . Secondly, I only partially agree regarding the upgrading BW's. It's true that faster CPU's and graphics cards are available for these (for a price, of course!). Note, however, that Sawtooth and Gigabit Ethernet G4's run at the same bus speed as a BW. I'm not sure you can justify upgrading some of the lower end G4 AGP machines anymore than the BW. What you get versus what you spend is not that much better than the BW. I still own a Gigabit Ethernet that I had heavily upgraded. Frankly, after a while, it just made more sense to sell off the upgraded components and put that money toward a Mini. If speed versus money is the main consideration, then you're MUCH better off just buying a Mini. Today's Mini is a powerful machine and can be had for less than $600. They're just not as much fun to play with as some of the older machines because the upgrade options are fairly limited. I think a lot of people on this list simply enjoy hot rodding their computers for the fun of it as much as the improvement in performance. Heck, if you just want bang for the buck, you should just stick to Windoze - (queue Tricky Dick . . .But, that would be wrong!).

Thanks, Dan. They've sent me an email for a $10 discount on their software, but I don't know anyone that's used it. For all I know it's total caca. I figured if it were wonderful, people would be gushing about it on this forum, but you never know. . .

MacTuneUp
Hey, Listers! Does anybody have any experience with the software MacTuneUp? It's supposed to be a utilities program. Good, bad, so-so? Thanking you in advance for your opinions.

Re: ADB to USB adapter?
I think you'll want something like Griffin iMate. They run just under $40 (I just bought one off the LEM Swap List for $20). I just looked at eBay and they range quite a bit $7 - $60. Hope this helps.
