Accessory mystery

I've been wondering what this doohickey is that came in my Lombard box when I bought it second-hand in '99. 7 long, plated 3/16 round stock, machine threads one one end, tapered ivory handle on the other. Looks like a handle for my grandmother's opera glasses - is that what it really is? Tom --

Connecting my Lombard to a Pc

Never thought about it until now - but I'd like to hook up with my girlfriend's Dell (they all seem to have Dells - fishing in shallow water?) and really don't know what to expect. Can she copy my files to her drive under OS 9 via USB. Is this a File Sharing exercise, and how do I do it from the

it. Reply from Tom Meade: I'll have to agree with Laurent's wisdom - you have to experience it despite all the advice. For the brief time X ran on the Lombard (333) it was fine. I run it on a 266 beige too and don't see it as too slow considering it's a (Jan. '98) model friend. Oh, and add swapping RAM

Re: OS X on Lombard

t. is having problems. So am I. The hell of it is the Lombard (I don't know about yours) only came with 64 megs - in the lower slot. So ripping everything else out to install X is absurd. And even the stock RAM isn't Apple. Who's to say that some other big four RAM would be better or worse? I

the Pismo clam

P.S. Where does the name Pismo come from? The fame of Pismo Beach rests on the abundance of giant (up to 7) Pismo Clams there. I can't say if the beach was named for the clam or vice versa, but it's pretty obvious that PowerBook's code name is based on that bivalve. Tom -- G-Books is

Subject: Pismo trackpad runs amok!

I remember that. Bought my daughter's Lombard when she left the record label. Soon discovered the trackpad was faulty. And damn, they couldn't find the receipt. Typical. Then a friend said I was probably dangling another finger along with my pointer one. Impossible! I nearly clenched my fist.

Re: 250 MB Capable Expansion Bays

Keep in mind that 250MB Zip disks can't be read by drives designed for 100MB media (like my beige G3) so if you intend to shuttle data from PB/G3 you won't be able to use the 250MB media included with the MacZone bay. Tom Meade -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com

Netscape Navigator interchangibility
