Clae,
Obviously, you are in Australia, so I might be able to suggest another
alternative. I recently bought a powerbook 1400c for the princly sum of
$AU195. (about US$88) I realise this is a little more than both the machines

The clear covers are also on eBay regularly. Usually at less than $10.
Just keep checking.

I wouldn't even think of running any 7.xx versions on it unless I just had a
very small amount of RAM installed. They're all buggy and written almost
entirely in 680x0 code, which just makes it dog-slow on the cacheless 100

Yes. Palms desktop is a free download and will work
for contacts and whatnot even if you don't have a Palm
to use with it. Also, should you ever choose to get a
Palm, all your data will synch easily.

So far as I know it is the base model, 180 MHz with the 1.2 Gb HDD. It

I get it. What I don't know is what OS it will have already installed.

Yeah,
I've got a palm and it works well. But yeah, The 'palm desktop'

that came with the palm.

Forget about using a CD-R with either machine. The 190 (besides not

No, but maybe some day Connectix will develop a

Maybe you have an odd PowerBook 500 series but I just tore mine down to it's
guts to replace a few parts and it used a Torx-8. Just wanted to clarify that
so people didn't get confused.

The display on my 1400 isn't working properly. The screen displays
either solid white or some other strange pattern. I think it's the

Screen prices are very high, but you should be able to pick up an

Hello Everybody,
Forgive me if this is off topic, (it does involve my PB 3400)! I just
recieved a Newton 130 today, and I have been going crazy trying to get it to
communicate with my Powerbook 3400/180. I am running 9.1 on it and I am
trying to get it to work through their serial ports.
Thanks
If you aren't using Appletalk much for other things, getting it set up can
be confusing.
What error do you get, if any?
Easiest way to hook up your MP- turn off Appletalk in the chooser on the
3400 (to make sure the serial port is free). Sometimes you still have to
set it to a different port

Hi!
I used to recommend the 540c to friends with low budgets and not too
high needs. Just a little web surfing, some docs or excel spreadsheets,
etc. These are good introductory computers for them.
However, lately I've been won over by the 190cs. The screen is not as
bad as it sounds
