Need help w/ Clamshell w/ faulty AC port

Hello, I recently obtained a iBook Clamshell 300mhz w/ a faulty ac jack. Before I take it apart and whup out the ol' solderin' iron, I was looking in my collection of take-apart manuals and realized that I do not have one for the Clamshell iBook. It would be handly, especially the exploded

Hi Diane, Wireless is just as good as wired these days. You can go 802.11b at up to 10MBs, or the more current 802.11g at 54MBs. I have an iBook G4 1GHz talking to an 802.11b access point, and the web pages load super fast! Download speeds are equally speedy. 802.11g is newer, and faster,

Also, I wanted to ask y'all; does the clamshell's ac port come on a removeable card, ala the G3 Wallstreet, Lombard and Pismo, or is it fixed to the logic board? Removable card that only has the power connector on it. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic

I have two questions, so I'll send them as separate posts. My Powerbook is a 17 1.5 GHz, July issue. I bought 2 GB of RAM last month, replacing the factory-installed 512 stick. What improvements should I see after having made this installation? I am not currently running anything

That's a good point! An 802.11b wireless access point, or bridge (depending on how you're using it) is just the same as a 10MB network port. That's not true. Firstly, 802.11b is rated at up to 11 Mbps, not 10 Mbps like 10base-T ethernet. However, 802.11b has tons of overhead (as does 11g),

Your iBook, the 14 and the Wallstreet all have the exact same amount of real estate (resolution), its just the size of the dots that is different, rather than the number of them. Yes, the 14 screen on my Pismo is more pleasant to look at (from a distance) than that of my 12 PowerBook, but the 12

Most people would. I prefer the 14 screen of my Pismo over the 12 screen of my AlBook, but not enough to fuss with the extra size and weight. I used to carry around 7lb full-sized laptops everywhere I went, and didn't know how bad it was only because I didn't know that there was a better way.
