Okay, seeing that I'm still having trouble getting my PB170 to let me use it for email, I was wondering if there is anyway that I could simply transfer emails back and furth between my PC and my mac using either floppies or stargate. All I want is to be able to upload the email messages to my m

Keeping in mind that I am very computer illiterate, how does that work? Are SCSI ethernet devices common? Does it require a lot of difficult computer voodoo to get that working? Thanks. Colin the computer illiterate. From: Ken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: "PowerBooks" To: "PowerBooks" Su

Okay, I started to use my PB170 as my primary computer last summer and was trying to get it set up for email. However, I took it out one day when it was wet outside (I had it covered in plastic) but some water must have gotten in because I tried to start it everyday for a couple of weeks but al

Okay, I'm positive that my 170 is supposed to have a modem. It came with all kinds of wacky modem stuff on it. However, I don't think it is working. I have set up MACTCP and PPP to the best of my ability, but when I go into PPP the thing always says "PPP down" and I can't click "open" or anyt

Hey, I've been wondering if it's still possible to use Eudora on a mac as old as my powerbook 170? I found all the programs for it on a bunch of different sites, but they mostly seem out of date. My 170 only has 4MB of RAM and is still running system 7.0.1 (until I get the time to put all 19

I have all of the 19 disks for system 7.5.3 now. So, do I just put them into the computer and open them and go ahead? Or is there something else I have to do first? I am currently running system 7.0.1. Also, is it possible to get RAM charger for free somewhere online? I think it could really

I was wondering how I can install system 7.5.3 on my powerbook 170 without losing all the things I have on it. Will installing the new program cause me to lose my old applications or can I just install it and have everything else remain the same. Thanks for any help. Colin ___

Hey, I just got a Powerbook 170 for five dollars at a flea market. It has decent versions of word, Powerpoint, and excel on it already, which makes it useful to me. However, I've found a bunch of other old programs for it on the internet that need to be opened using stuffit expander. My powe
