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?
