I use either this list and the G-book one. I have noted that users of the G-book list seem less interested in technical topics. I mean technical with the need to take a part the Mac. So most of the question about LCD replacement or similar issues have no reply, on the other hand these questions

Another suggestion, and one that is used in an antique computer list I am also on, is to break the whole group up into a 'talk' list and a 'tech' list. The tech list would be scrutinized closely while the talk list wouldn't. The group would soon get a sense of what's on-topic in the talk list a

Dear Martin, I checked at the Everymac site, and it says that all G3 ibooks can run a version of OS 9, with the newest being 9.2.2; all the G4 ibooks run only OS X versions. Here's the list page (sorted by processor speed): http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/ You click on the model you h

Re: can newer iBook run older OS?

Then what G4 users need is an emulator program that'll run OS 9 and emulate all it's functions including AppleTalk. (Hey if we can have an Apple IIGS emulator under OS9, then why not this one? (And I wonder if an emulator could run under an emulator? :) ) Later.Howard ___

Re: should I get a G3 Kanga, 1400 or 2400?

The only thing I experienced with the card in at startup is that the machine doesn't recognize the card. It's been said by others that there are software "issues" with these cards, things like crashes if you try to start or shutdown with the card in place. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by
