Pacer,
Thanks for the advice below, but it didn't work. I've given up calling
it Guest and decided to name it Visitor, making the password
guest. This worked fine. As far as limiting use, the only thing I'm
concerned about others seeing is my home folder, which is inaccessible
when logged

When I installed my HD in my G4 400 PB, I also
reopened the case when it wasn't recognized.
Then I found a disk utility on the 10.3.8 install DVD
which formatted(?) the HD.
Then it was recognized and I was able to reinstall the
OS and my other files without a hitch.

HD to buy depends on what you want to do ! and what you have presently

the new and bigger HD are 7200rpm, fun to use with video editing and

I'm reasonably sure that a *brand new* battery should charge in its
intended PowerBook without any major glitches in the process.
Your new batteries could be bad. Mine were.
I went through two brand new batteries that would not charge. From two
different vendors.
On my Wallstreet, I have had 3

particular drive.

The University of Wisconsin Stout requires you rent a PC from them even if
you have your own computer at $500 each semester.
You can only rent a Mac iBook if you are a Art's Major and you have not say
so in this at all.

connect with their own PC or mac to a large network like that.

Sounds like a great reason to find another school. My law school recommends
a Dell laptop, but visit any lecture hall and you will see just about
everything on the market, including a few iBooks and PowerBooks. My last
semester (Spring 04) I sat next to a guy using an old PowerBook 5300ce
My guess is that Stout get these Compac laptops by the truckload for almost
nothing and then rents them for two years to the tune of $2,000, giving the
school about a $1,000 profit.
My daughter got one of these PC's and it was last years model that I could
have purchased outright for $800 or less
This isn't a recommendation at Stout, you must rent the computer from them
and the fee is hidden in your book fees which you have to pay as part of
your tuition.
The first year they had this policy, they had the laptop fee out in the open
as a separate charge, but they got so many complaints,

Yes -- so let's find a nice new home for this iBook!
In case anyone is wondering, I am at Rensselaer

The Tiger update fee is only $9.95 + tax, shipped free, so the wait is marginal.
