I'm not looking for a debate. I'm just wondering why a lithium ion battery would not charge in a 5300. Because Apple says so! The prototype 5300s did have LiOn batteries. Then there was the the event that started the flaming battery rumors. I'm not going to say what happened because I do

Re: To buy a 1400 or not to buy a 1400...

If all you're doing with it is writing, I don't think you can beat a 1400. I use mine all the time for writing, it's my preferred keyboard of all I use. Much superior to these clear plastic ones that come with mirrored door G4's or emacs. wayne > From: Caleb Cupples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To

Re: To buy a 1400 or not to buy a 1400...

I agree. If all you are doing is writing save your money, get the 1400. However, if you are wanting to do more than go for the G4. I love mine. It does all that I need it to do. And that is a lot. I do design and layout and video work. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote me on 6.8.05 12:26 PM. nhj lov

I have a 1400 and It is great. I type a lot and play some games on it and the keyboard is better than my dad's Wallstreet (I think) but if you are opt for doing some more things and need a very fast machine a G3 or G4 is a better deal. On 6/7/05, Caleb Cupples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know

Hello, Is there any way to control the zooming scrolling problem in OS 9.2? Since I've switched to 9.2, when I'm working in, for example, pagemaker, when I use the cursor to drag to select and hit the edge of the window, the page scrolls by so fast it's impossible to stop where you want. I've trie

Re: To buy a 1400 or not to buy a 1400...

Well if that's the case then a 1400 would be great. If you get a 1400c then graphic work is pretty good. I have one and it is nice to carry around and use just about anywhere, however becasue it have a build-in drive slot it may be a little big for some in which case you may want a Power Book 240
