Fellow gentlebeings,
I'm sure I saw it discussed somewhere (here? on applefritter? some
obscure web forum in another dimension? in a dream? i dream of long
lists of mac-related hardware these days, you know . . .), but I can't
seem to find the link now, if there was one in the first place.
And
I'm trying to help a friend get a powerbook going. it is a 867 mgz 15 inch
that we can't get the battery out of. how does the latch work on the
battery.

I've used a liquid buffing compound for polishing plexiglass
windshields. I looks like brown water and it can be bought from an auto
parts store. I'll warn you though that it can make the area that your

So yeah: do I really need a G4, and are there any cheaper/faster
options, such as getting the G3 and overclocking it, or is 500 mhz the
limit on a WallStreet because of bus speed?
You'll be much happier with G4 so don't even consider G3...seriously.
Here's an affordable upgrade from an
100/133 mhz
shouldn't really make that much of a difference due to backwards
compatibility, insofar as I understand it.
There's industry standard backward compatibility and then there's Mac
standard backward compatibility.
Wallstreets will not accept many high density PC100 and PC133 sticks.
Wallstreets and similar machines (Beige G3, for example) have problems
with high density chips, and more particularly high density chips on one
or both sides of the stick. Even low density chips on both sides of the
stick can be a problem.
Later machines, say, BW and Lombard/Pismos do not

Most of us will tell you that, hands down, the Pismo is probably the brightest
star ever put in the notebook sky by Apple. True, they are becoming somewhat
dated, but my PB 2000-400 Firewire is loaded with 1 GB RAM and a new 30 GB HD,
running OS X.3.9 and just keeps on working.
I have a Pismo running 10.3.9 and the search function will not find any
files. This used to happen occasionally, or would work one time and
then not find anything else, but now it won't find anything at all.
Anyone have any solutions?
Thanks!
