802.11g PB, 802.11b router- slow??

I have a 12" 1.5GHz powerbook coming for a short test drive. A coworker has an 8? 10? month-old 15" powerbook, he said he had to buy a g router for home use as the g card in the PB did not perform well with his old b router. Much slower than b should be. He said his g router worked fine wi

Re: malware question

Well, I think what we need to remember is that our key vulnerabilities are in available services. Those that don't run services are pretty much OK. However, each service is only as secure as the developers make it (apache/sshd have had problems in the past), and Apple does lag behind by about a we

Re: Pismo Porcessor Upgrades ... G3 or G4?

I've been "trying" unsuccessfully to find out or actually purchase a Powerlogix 900 G3 upgrade for at least 6 months, maybe longer, and I always get that the store is not available at this time, and no other places seem to be carrying it. So if you want an upgrade soon, then you might aban

Re: Wallstreet Dual-Boot Issues .....

No dice. Won't boot. What I do is go to System Preference-> Startup Disk and then choose the OS 9 partition with the OS 9 start folder. I then reboot and it reboots into a gray screen. I then have to spend the next half-hour to an hour trying to convince it to reboot into the Mac OS X.2 insta

Re: Pismo Porcessor Upgrades ... G3 or G4?

That is actually another reason why I am leaning towards FastMac. If I could find a price on a PowerLogix upgrade for the Pismo I would be more sure, but the FastMac G4 550 seems to have a higher cache size and speed. Of course, with the PowerLogix 900 I wouldn't have to purchase the iChat hack f

Re: Pismo Porcessor Upgrades ... G3 or G4?

It always depends on what you're planning to use. If you are planning to use any application that would benefit (or even require) a G4, then the choice is obvious. Otherwise, the faster G3 will deliver more speed. Also, the processor speed itself should not always be the only factor to consider whe

Pismo Porcessor Upgrades ... G3 or G4?

My Fellow PowerBook-philes, Speaking of processor upgrades: G4 500/550 Mhz or G3 900 Mhz for my GF's PowerBook Pismo? Theoretically the G3 900 from PowerLogix will allow iSight to run, but I can't find a way to purchase it. (PowerLogix's site is not allowing me to buy from them and no one else
