Hi Gang Have any of you ever used a cellphone with a Pismo (or any other Powerbook) to go online out in the wilds whether there's no wireless, phone jack or LAN point? If so, please let me know how it's done. What phones, software and connections between the two did you use? I have both

PC card in PCMCIA slot?

Hi G-bookers Seen a lot of mentions of DOS/PC cards that you can stick in the PCI slots on a desktop mac but never tried one (instead, used VirtualPC 3·0 whenever I needed to emulate a PC). Now I've moved full-time to a laptop (400MHz Pismo) and OSX, I find VPC is abominably slow. So has

Hey Dan G-bookers I have a Pismo 400MHz, 768 RAM, 40G HD running OS 10.3.9. Will I have any problems updating from Quicktime 6.5.2 to Quicktime 7.0.1? Will it be an improvement? I have noticed my Quicktime Player to be somewhat slow at times, but that may just be my slow computer. I haven't
