A friend's PowerBook HD died and as he is upgrading to iMac I may "inherit" it. He says it is a G3 but doesn't know more. Numbers on the back read: 14.1TFT/233MHz-512K/32MB/2GB HD/4MB video/CD/Modem. I can make sense of everything but the 14.1TFT. Does this number ID the PowerBook? Thanks. Cliff --

14.1TFT is the screen size. This is a 14.1" screen PowerBook Wallstreet II (with cache). TFT means active-matrix. It's the higher quality of the two types of screens (the other being passive matrix). On Dec 1, 2004, at 9:33 AM, Cliff Rediger wrote: A friend's PowerBook HD died and as he is up
