Trackpad on PB17

I've been really enjoying my PB17 except for one thing: the trackpad.

Re: Internet Connect (OS X 10.3.5)

Hi Emery I have a PowerBook G3/400 Firewire with 10.3.5 and I have the same problem occasionally: I lose the dial-in connection to my ISP, then the scrolling "disconnecting" doesn't stop and I find I have to reboot ... I've wondered if the inbuilt modem in the PowerBook sometimes gets hung (or stuc

Explain the 802.11b Card Description

Hello all. I would like to clarify what I said. When I said Marketing fluff, I am referring to the fact that the RoamAbout card was still using a term on the label that they had been using from the beginning of them selling the card. It has been many years since I did any serious work in the elect

Internet Connect (OS X 10.3.5)

I have been using OSX for some time on my Powerbook and recently encountered a problem with Internet Connect. This places a telephone symbol in the top menu line. When I click on the symbol I get a menu -- one of which is Connect. Then there is a scrolling "Connect" message to the right of t
