more ram less time?

hi all. recently upgraded the ram on my WallStreet from 180 to 512mb. Suddenly the battery life (on two batteries) seems to have dropped from about 5 hours to less than 3 hours. Nothing else has changed on the machine so I assume it was the increase in ram that did this. Can anyone confirm if this

Kensington Turbo mouse with Wallstreet 266 OS 9.2.2

I've been trying a Kensington Turbo Mouse trackball with my Wallstreet 266 (OS 9.2.2) but it doesn't work well. The trackball is a 2 button model 64100 that connects to the ADB port on the wallstreet. With the latest OS 8 and 9 driver from Kensington it works sporadically. When I re-boot to the O

OT: selling my G4 Pismo

Ok, I'm putting my G4/Pismo up for sale, so I thought I'd offer it to this list before I put it on the Swaplist or on eBay. Unfortunately, I have to part with my baby, but at least I can make sure it goes to a good home. Here's the specs: Powerbook "Pismo" Powerlogix G4/500 upgrade installed la

You might want to try MacPOET. It's some kind of TCP/IP extension and I think it might be a shareware product. Mac OS 9 sucks when it comes to broadband as I learned while trying to get my girlfriend's mother's Verizon DSL service after she upgraded to 9. Verizon told her that they did not supp
