I think it will be more interesting to see how a company that has already gone out of business once will be able to convince customers to trust them the second time around. I have a Newer Tech G3 card in my trusty ol 6100, never missed a beat, I think Newer techs quality was good, the

A couple of weeks ago, there was some discussion here about this. For those of you who don't get OWC's newsletter, here's an excerpt: . . . . Newer Tech has seen the light of day again and Other World Computing has engaged them to be the EXCLUSIVE world wide source for all of their products.

If you're going to use code names, at least use the correct names; the PowerBook (Firewire) is more commonly referred to as a Pismo, not Prismo. This unit is called after a popular beach in California, Pismo Beach. On Saturday, June 8, 2002, at 05:37 AM, Chrys Cruz wrote: A couple of
