Stupid Pismo Question

Hey gang. I am running a Pismo which is now five years old and it is really showing a lot of mileage. I have not been the kindest computer owner and the demands I have placed on my faithful machine are showing. I think it is time to retire the old girl and go with something new. The

Hi - I have a new pismo with a dvd player. If I decide to (or need to) reinstall a new OS - like 9.2, will the dvd player still play dvds? The player isn't software driven is it? Or if it is, will any OS CD have the necessary software already in it? Thanks Nina -- G-Books is sponsored by

And I wonder in amazement at the negative bias many PC users have often given Mac users, when I had no first-hand experience with Macs and knew maybe 3 people who had Mac knowledge (from 'grunt' level to hardware hacker/Mac programmer/sysadmin). The running joke is that Macs are the computer for

Can the Pismo Bronze boot from CD? I have a Knoppix boot CD and the computer ignores it during boot. Pressing Option during boot only allows me to see the OS X boot option, not the 9.2, which I can get to thru the Startup Disk control panel/system pref. Any hope? Do I need a special boot image

I believe you're right about knoppix being an Intel-only OS.. didn't check first because it was faster to just pop it in and try. I'll have to look into live-CD **ix options that are Mac compatible. Can the Pismo Bronze boot from CD? I have a Knoppix boot CD and the computer ignores it during

Well, I bought this Powerbook from a friend, and it actually came with 9.2 and OS X; I think he thought it only had 9.2 on it. I'm discovering more niceness every day with this computer.. It's a Powerbook Firewire, M7572, not a Bronze as I previously reported. Is this then a Pismo also?
