Re: reccomendation, replacement for 1400?

Check out either Powermax.com or Smalldog.com, both have a shipment of the last 700 Mhz Ibooks with CD from Apple, all new, full warranty, for under $800. Much older systems of Ibooks are selling at or above this on Ebay. The supply is limited, so they will probably sell out fast (I ordered mine

Re: OS X on Lombard

When I was trying to install OS X on a beige G3 I had to pull all but the original factory RAM. I saw a huge thread on the Apple forums about removing just about everything from the Mac that wasn't factory (and making sure the target hard drive was less than 8GB) and sure enough I finally got

Re: OS X on Lombard

. Do you have anything other non-standard hardware? Maybe some strange CPU upgrade card? Or other external things like USB or SCSI devices, or PCMCIA cards? Also, try removing one or the other 256 MB modules, or even returning to your original Apple-supplied RAM (if you still have it).

Re: CDRW for Pismo

This is a nice unit, if a cost-prohibitive one. I'm told by someone who resells Macs that he'd be against burning music/video CD/DVDs on a G3 based computer. The quote is: I question the viability of using a SuperDrive in a PB G3. If you are using it for data files (with Toast), then its

I wouldn't try to burn DVDs on a G3 Pismo either, but I've already Upgraded mine to a 500 MHz G4 which is almost as fast as my Quicksilver Desktop Unit which has a SuperDrive and does a pretty good job producing DVDs. How may I ask did you do that? How much did it cost? Did you do it yourself or

Re: backlight problems

Any ideas?, I'm starting to get really worried here. Is it still under warranty? If so you could get it replaced. Similar thing happened to me 2 weeks ago. Apple replaced the display and also my DVD drive got upgraded to CD/DVD R/W which was a nice surprise. All covered by the extended warranty.
