Caleb Cupples and Rick write (respectively), I'd do the same with my 190, except for the fact that I still rely on it as my primary writing machine. As soon as I get a little newer PB, my 190 is going to go in the ol' glass cabinet, for sure. My PB 170 complete with original receipt already has it's own special little shelf still works fine. Start it up once every several months just for fun. Even though I actually DID upgrade to a PPC Powerbook (5300c), my 190 will never get retired as an ol' glass cabinet museum piece. I keep it in one of my bedside drawers as a spare in the event of something happening to the 5300c, plus, I occasionally still use it to charge up batteries: I plug it in and do that sometimes when I go to write outside with the 5300c: the battery I won't be using gets a recharge while I'm out. As to starting it up for fun, well, that wasn't my original purpose, but earlier this week I wanted to email somebody something I had on it, and it did turn out to be fun to actually use it again for something other than battery charging. While my 190's primary use was writing (same for the 5300c), I HAD set it up for email, chat and browsing and occasionally went online with it. I was smiling all the way through the process of taking my PCMCIA card modem out of the 5300c and putting it back into the 190, sticking the phone wire in the X-jack, doing the email with attachment, and signing online with it. And, as I sat there waiting for the PPP to connect -- with both the 5300c and G3 next to me, the 190 on my lap, I felt like that girl in the movie The Net (whose laptop was also a Mac Powerbook, BTW).

An Apple a day..Keeps us from being Win-Dumb
My 1400cs is up and running, (8.0) from the Welcome to Mac O/S and the happy face...something is just different. For a machine that was manufactured in '96, pretty darn quick boot time. Oooh and all the happy little icons start to pop up. WAIT...there's no Start button and no Win-dumb icons. An uneasy feeling comes over me as I scratch my head and feel totally lost But being a former Win-dumb user I downloaded the manual for 1400cs and actually read it. So I turned on the Balloons and suddenly all those cute icons on the bottom of the screen made perfect sense. If ever there is doubtjust relax because my little Mac will explain it to me . Suddenly the uneasiness started to lift as the dark clouds from my head dissipated. Now I fully understand the difference between a Mac and a PC. The Mac is FRIENDLY I've been an MCP since '99 ( I still have my signed MS wall diploma) used every version of Win-dumb from 3.1, 95 A,B and C N/T server/wrkstn 98, ME, 2000, PRO, XP and NOT ONE of them would I ever consider...

ROM chips. UH . . . . well yeah I guess they're in there, but unless you are a tech head no one thinks about them much unless you need a ROM image to emulate a Mac on another platform.. Macs are about simplify-simplify. While retaining full function. You want a command prompt? Why, do you know or are addicted to the CLI ? If you want that get a machine that will handle OS X. It has the all the CLI you can manage. Yes , the CLI can be great but meanwhile relax Let the Happy Mac boot MOSS greet you. And become united with your one button mouse. It is all you need after all. And mice with more buttons and wheels are out there if you can't get along without them. You don't say what OS you have but be assured that while your Mac can and will crash or freeze the weeks of blue screen of death are over. Your free time will open up since you have found this list and no longer have to spend hours on the phone for tech support or begging Pc friends and service reps for help.
