So does that mean that web browser history caching, etc. is also drawing down
write cycles on a CF card?
Thanks for the tip on RAMDoubler! Hey where can I get this software? Connectix
appears to be defunct. Anyone have a copy of v. 8 or 9 for sale (needs to be at
least OS 8.6 compatible)?
Howard,
Greetings. Sure, I'd be interested in this URL. Incidentally, if I have enough
RAM for routine use, do I even need to turn on Virtual Memory at all?
Alternatively, if I reassign VM to the hard drive, what effect will this have
on hard drive spin-up?

Re: Update on my PB2400c
Howard,
Greetings again. OK, I decided to turn off Virtual Memory. I notice the System
and apps are drawing more resources (particularly the System which has jumped

instead of iTunes (as was suggested). But I'm now
Ben,
Thanks Ben Sivertsen for the tip to drag the hard drive to the Trash, though
I'm still encountering hard drive spin-up. In fact, when the drive was

Greetings. I know that a PowerBook in sleep mode uses very little power.
However, I was curious to know if there is any documentation on how long a
PowerBook running under battery power alone can be kept in sleep. Hours? days?
weeks?
I fully appreciate that the specific answer depends on the
Greetings. Slowly my PowerBook 2400c is taking shape. I got 8.6 update
successfully installed. I got 128-bit encryption working on the wireless card.
And I'm getting all my favorite apps installed. Now I am the tweaking stage,
and have a few questions. It's been a long time since I've lived in

our router setup screen. I just copied the character
Greetings again. I am seeking your recommendations on the best web browser to
use on my PB2400c with 80MB RAM, running Mac OS 8.6? I have downloaded IE 5.1.7
and Netscape 4.8 to my desktop Mac. But wanted some feedback before installing
onto my 'Book.
Also, when I had a PB3400c a while back, I
