Hi Gang:
As a faithful member of the long-in-the-tooth powerbook club, I've owned
and/or own three pb 2400s, 3 pb 1400s, 1 wallstreet, and 1 pismo, I've never
considered purchasing a new powerbook or especially an ibook. These have
been adequate for my needs, and have excellent upgrade and
Any clues/ Experience with this one?
My wallstreet won't shutdown. When shutdown is selected, it restarts
instead; battery or AC adapter has no effect. I thought perhaps the on/off
switch was stuck in a depressed position, but that doesn't seem to be the
case, the key moves freely and apparently
HI Gang,
I lost my driver for my MacAlly PCMCIA cardbus USB adapter when my hard
drive died in my wallstreet. I don't remember finding it originally on the
internet though I searched high and low. I finally got it by going back to
the guy who sold me the card. It's been too long for me to remember
Hi All,
My wallstreet (266mhz, 512mb RAM) has managed to cling to a chronic problem
of freezing only moments after startup (most of the time).
I say Cling to the problem, because it is still there after these steps to
correct it:
different hard drive.
Reinstalled system folders.
Modem board

Have you tried to put back the original memory?

No. Haven't tried that-- I did the typical RAM upgrade-- took out the
original pair of 64mb cards,
Hi gang,
Maybe a post here will unfreeze my brain stall: I have a cable running from
my stereo system, from the tape audio out via phono plugs, into an adapter
that winds up as a mini stereo jack which I've plugged into the jack on the
back of my G4 tower. I can turn on the sound control panel

Hi Wallstreet users:
I've been pleased as punch with my wallstreet -- until recently. I had it
about a year; added a super fast 60 gb hard drive, 512 mb RAM, was running
OS 10.2.6 successfully (albeit a bit slow) and then...

I know the general answer is yes,
But are there any of those DVD burners for just a bit over $125 like I see
for wintel units all the time? Especially one that will work in OS 9 as well
as OS X? (So I could use it on my wallstreet or my G4 tower)
I'm also interested in DVD copying software I see
I, too, have two 256 mb modules from OWC in my wallstreet, running OS X
10.2.6 I had them in there for over 3 months no trouble at all.
I have had an unusual problem start up just recently, though. The start up
can't finish because the computer can't find the hard drive hooked to it. I
Hi all,
I noticed that when my pb wallstreet (OS 10.2.6; 512mb ram; 60gb hd;
original 266mhz G3 processor) is running lots of apps (powerpoint, word,
appleworks, photoshop 7, maybe a couple of other small apps) it starts to
run really slow, and gets really hot sitting on my lap, and I see that
HI Gang,
I've thoroughly searched MAC help (heretofore unthinkable!) and can find no
complement to OS 9's ability to assign function keys a task to perform,
quickly and easily through a control panel... I had all of the function keys
assigned to open my most used apps.. I can't find any way to do
Hi gang,
I'm running OS X (10.2.2) on my wallstreet... I wrote last week about having
trouble that has narrowed itself down to the modem, since my pb 1400
connects and runs fine at the same location (though I'm running OS 9.1 on
the pb 1400).
Though I just bought a replacement for the wallstreet
Hi Dr. Gensberg, et al,
Hmm. After reading your letter about the modem problems being unique to the
wallstreet, I tried my old powerbook 1400, with a PC card modem (global
village 56k) and ... it worked. Not only did the global village modem
connect, it connected at a faster rate (52000 vs. 46 to
Hi all,
My internal wallstreet modem is constantly dropping out, plus it
connects at slower speeds (48000, or 49333 as opposed to 5 to
52000) compared to the global village 56k buscard modem I had been
using in my previous workhorse, the pb 1400.
I'm considering actually installing the
Hi all,
to those who've held back installing OS X on their wallstreet because
of all the naysayers, well, count me as one who's found it to run very
satisfactory.
I did put in a fast (20gb 5400rpm travelstar) Hard drive, and maxed the
memory at 512mb, but other than that, my 266mhz G3
Hi gang,
I'm still hunting a HD for my new-to-me wallstreet, and I've seen so many
macmall, outpost, ebay, etc ads for HDs that I pretty much know how much or
little I'll have to spend on the unit--
but I can't understand why a firewire or USB external 40gb HD, that comes in
a cool case, runs at
ends part A. I will post a letter with the same subject, except
labeled Part B, in hopes it squeaks by the list momma.

Often, I use improper grammar purposely, and I simply click past the
suggestions I don't want. But, it usually catches one or two mistakes per
1000 words I write that I would have missed. Therefore, it is worth having.
