Pismo...upside down logo

...anybody got a good solution for the upside down logo on my Pismo? Yesterday, for about the 9,000th time, somebody--a total stranger, sitting at least 20 feet away--walked over and asked me, "Why is the Apple upside down?" I tire of explanation, and would love a workable solution, short of purch

Re: pram battery

For PRAM, try the PowerBookGuy (www.powerbookguy.com) or Donny Monk at PowerBooksPlus (www.powerbooksplus.com) . Donny is a GREAT guy who communicates well, and when told that his pricing on a 3400 PRAM was excessive, actually sent a partial refund ~even though it meant he was selling the unit

Re: 3400c 9.1 VPC 3.0

What does the shrink-wrapped box tell you about what is required? I ran SoftWindows 3 on my 5300c and (later) my 3400c; sometimes a bit slow, but it was workable. If the box says it requires minimum G3, I'd count on that being very true, especially given the small RAM complement on the 3400c.

PowerBook 1400c repair

An old trick picked up from my days as an electronics technician: Use a two vial/tube epoxy product (any will do) and fashion the repair parts (eg. screw tabs, etc.) from a small piece of smooth cotton, fiberglass cloth or the new fiberglass plastering tape (or even a piece of paper towel will

Re: Very Nice PowerBook 3400c for sale!

ISTM that Wallstreet is holding value very well, considering its age; though it is not as attractive as the Pismo (for example). That is probably due to the form factor, which is still reasonably "modern" (thin and larger screen, at least in relation to the form factor)--the biggest issue with the

The note from Gary and my reply re: his 3400/240, brings up an interesting point for discussion on this list (even though a sale listing might not be appropriate), to wit, on what basis do you make a proper approximation of value in a shrinking market for vintage and near-vintage machines, especial

Recycling batteries
