Re: OT- What non-Macs do you own?
What was the question??? something about Linux Why would anyone own a non-Mac? H that's a very good point. I remember back in middle school we had Commodore 64's and Apple II's, then somewhere along the line I acquired an IBM XT. It didn't even run Windoze, DOS 5.0 if I remember correctly. Now quickly fast forward some years and BINGO you can buy a Windoze machine for under $400.00 with a decent 15 inch monitor.Last I checked the cheapest Mini Mac after buying USB keyboard and mouse was well over the Budget PC But remember ... You get what you pay for.. At our break room in the world's #1 retailer the main reason other associates gawk at my 1400 is because most of them have never seen or used a Mac. A while back I had heard a co-worker had bought his wife a Jaguar. So you bought your wife a new car...Jaguar? NO!!! I bought her a new Mac..it runs Jaguar Oh Then he proceeded to explain all that it does, how easy to use...etc etc Of course he also mentions how much he paid for it $! Hey for that kind of money are you sure she can't drive it? with that he called me a typical Windoze user and the conversation ended. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Caleb Cupples wrote: I noticed it getting quiet and I was just curious to know what non-Macs all you have. Please list OS and processor type. Caleb While I have quite a few Macs and Apples, I think most of my collection is x86 based. I'll start with the newer ones then delve a bit into my collection a bit: AMD Athlon 2500/1 gig ram/2x80 gig drives in raid 0 and a new 16xSamsung dvd writer, Windows ME three Celerons for the kids, 466/700/700 with 98 in one and the others use ME a very cool and quick Toshiba 2615 laptop using ME, but with a DVD drive that is so smooth it is hard to believe it's a Celeron 466 with 128 ram. All of the above are networked with my g3/333 and my two 3400cs. My collection of oldies includes such unique items as a Toshiba 6066c semi-laptop with a DX2-66 486 chip and 98 as an os. Full size scsi CD drive/ IDE hard drive (3.5 inch) but no battery. Nice color screen. Gridcase 1520 286 - unknown OS - same unit as used in Aliens. It's a magnesium laptop, very solid, made for military use. A NeXT box, several PCjrs, several PS2 models from IBM both laptops and desktops as well as a huge server unit , several Commodore 128s/64s/286s/ as well as a KIM 1, Tandys of many descriptions including the small TRS80 and a couple of laptops with integral printers, several Apple clones including a Laser 128 as well as a Decider which is in perfect condition but I know nothing about it other than it's an Apple II clone, an Orange Micro, two Franklin Aces, several Hyperions which were 8088 based and were sold before the Compaq portable. The Hyperions were made and sold in Canada (some were later made in Houston) and the company had Michael Copeland on board before he decided to run and ruin Corel, an Alextel which is 8088 based as I recall and was a forerunner of the Internet here in Canada. You could subscribe to data from Bell and play games and check stocks/scores etc. The phone still works as does the screen but the subscription service is long gone. Ran around 1981 or just a bit later. Small unit with a 9 inch screen and flipdown keyboard/touchpad.

Re: OT - What non-Macs do you own?
Caleb writes, It depends on what you're doing. If you're writing cross-platform software, you want to do tests on all the platforms you're writing for, hence the PC. Also, most of my compilers and my preferred office suite are Linux and Windows only, and I don't feel like using Linux on a PPC Mac. Oops...sorry I forgot about you cross-platform software designers out there.Yes, that's a big one. Excellent point. Of course, I rely on my Linux machines, because it was cheaper to have my 190 and convert the Windoze machines to Linux than it would have been to go all Mac. People actually throw out PCs and monitors in amazing quantities, as I learned from my boyfriend. He picks them up, takes them home, cleans them up a bit if they need it, and turns them into FREE working Linux machines. ;-) He won't spend money at all to buy himself a computer of any kind -- he doesn't have to. On top of that, because he's a packrat who snares spares of computers, keyboards, mice and monitors too (something dies, he walks across the room and attaches a new one), when the monitor for MY G3 died not too long ago, he was able to spare THREE monitors. One is the beautiful 17-incher (my old one was 14) presently on the G3, plus two spares. Those are 14s, but it's fine: at the whopping sum of $0.00 for both of us, the price was certainly right and the only complaint I had about my former monitor wasn't that it was only a 14-incher, but rather that its death was VERY badly timed. (Even though I have the two spares now, I've implemented certain precautions so I'll never have to go through that again.) I use my Linux desktop for the same things I use the Mac for when I'm away. However, I prefer reading on the 190. It's something about that soothing greyscale screen. Now, this is interesting. I like my laptop to mirror the desktop as closely as possible. In fact, I need for this to be the case. While the experience with the untimely death of the G3 monitor illustrated this most strongly, it's true in general because writing is my primary use of a computer. That is, while I'm most comfortable on the larger keyboard of the desktop, I don't like to be chained inside the apartment either. Having the Powerbook mirror the desktop closely means that I can transfer what I'm working on from the desktop to the Powerbook, then back again when I get home. Not to mention the ease of keeping a backup system: since the G3 is regularly backed up with both Zip and CDs, so is the Powerbook. If the apps and data on the Powerbook magically disappeared, all I'd have to do to reload the Powerbook is transfer it over from the G3. I've made the necessary transfers to date via printer port network, but newly arrived in today's mail: I just got one of those HDI-SCSI adapters for $6 on the Swap List (if I'd had this when the G3 monitor died, I'd have been fine: watching the Swap List and then buying this little baby as soon as I saw it listed is one of the aforementioned precautions I took for future similar incidents). As soon as I get done here, I'm going to go play with it -- there's something I want to transfer which is too big for a floppy, but not big enough to make it worth it to set up the printer port network: the plan is hooking the Powerbook up to the Zip drive. I'm not going to go all Linux advocate on ya. I'm a Mac guy at heart, but the cost of a new Mac, or even a PPC PowerBook comparable to my old Satellite is more than I'm going to spend. As I said, I love my 190 so much that I could marry it. I just can't afford to go Mac only. That's OK if you do go Linux crazy. I'm kind of used to it, thanks to my Linux-loving boyfriend, who praises it not just because of the fact that he can always construct a working Linux machine, but also because Linux itself is free and has the open source, letting him customize it to his own liking. As to how come I can afford to be on Mac exclusively, by the way, my 5300c, G3 and 190 came off the Swap List and Fleabay, for the whopping sums (hahaha!) of $30, $15 and $25 respectively. There's no way in hell I could afford to walk into a store and buy a brand new Mac either..and quite frankly, now that I know I don't HAVE to, thanks to the Swap List, I wouldn't buy a new one even if I COULD. (Kind of like my boyfriend, collecting all those junked computers and peripherals even though he DID have the money to buy new ones.) Well, enough rambling already. Time to go play with my new SCSI adapter. :-) ~Yersinia.

Inverter Board 5300 and 190
Is the same? I pulled an inverter board from a 190 and put into a 5300ce: the screen shows 600x800 but the desktop is bigger so within the LCD (the LCD not the plastic frame...)

Word processing on 68K.
I'm running Word 5.1 on my 190, but I'm looking for a wordprocessor that's a little more compatible with the newer stuff, such as AppleWorks 6, for when I have to print stuff on my grandpa's computer, and decent compatibility with MS Office 97, for Windoze. I do have ClarisWorks 4, but I don't like it very well. Thanks in advance, Caleb -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I can only see a portion of the desktop. You got the correct LCD on that machine ? Sounds like what happens when you get a mismatch between LCD and logic board. AFAIK an inverter board powers the backlight, it has nothing to do with actually driving the display. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Word processing on 68K.Compatibility?
What is this nonsense about compatibility? Every wordprocesser is compatible with any other. I use Scorpio as my basic wordprocesser. I own my own copy. It will unformat any worprocessor's output. The only machine I cannot use as a text-file producer is Commodore 64. But, since my Commodore 128 has CPM ability, I can run Word Star on it. Thus, transfer Commodore 64, to a text file, move it to CPM. Then Move that text file to my TRS-80 Model 4, which can transfer that to MS-DOS, and voila!! Apple or Macintosh for ever. The problems come in, not with wordprocessing but, when pictures are formatted into the text. But with Scorpio, who needs the pictures. I love old computers and what they can do. I was a horrible typewriter, even electric, and I celebrated when I bought Alwrite for the TRS-80 Model 4, probably the best wordprocessor ever made. I buried that electric typwriter in our gardon and planted green beans over it. P-) Can you imagine having a computer that freezes up if you accidentally leave a diskette in drive A?
