I recently installed Shiira on a G4 1GHZ 14 ibook (1 gig ram) and
am quite please with the browsers speed. Very easy to import
bookmarks from Firefox. Has a nice clean look to it. Shiira will
definitely stay in the dock replacing Safari.

Yes, it does need to be a ATA-5 drive. I've tried a several newer ATA6

Does anyone have a extra keyboard kicking around in good condition? My

I recently came across a nice photoshop like application. Its an open
source program.
www.gimp.org
works with photo retouching image authoring. I have been playing with
it all afternoon and it seems like a nice program for those who may
not need all the bells and whistles that photoshop has and
Clarification here: you really replaced a program suite that you
paid $400 for with open source NeoOffice? Pardon my doubt here, but
Microsoft Office is the 'gold standard'. I can't imagine that any
open source would run as fast or offer as many features. Now I do
have to qualify this
Hey Tim
Not for serious professionals but for the intermediate techie wanting

I was able to get a Pismo on eBay for $200+s/h. I did spend money to
add memory and move to a 500 MHz processor. I think that I got
'lucky' because the comp's description included a pink-light-on-start-
up-but -goes-away-after-a-seconds issue. The latter hasn't bothered
me in the least.
Ah, I'm happy with Abiword: seems to be an application that *more*
than meets my needs. I like the idea of the internet being more than
just a marketing gig.
I'm writing a book on Abiword. I think that's pretty serious work.
