Re: New 'Book

Brian, I too feel your pain, I was/am in very similar situation. I recently moved from a hotrodded G3 1400c to a spankin' G4 iBook. You will love the iBook immediately. The power and the things you can do are so vast. Mine runs iTunes, Mail, BBEdit, Fireworks, Apache w/ php and mySQL, safari, i

Re: Mozilla

Try one of the newer builds available at: http://wamcom.org/ They are off the 1.3 branch and in my experience (on my 9.1 333MHz 1400c) have been zippier. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | --

Re: Mozilla

Mozilla requires much more system resources than Netscape 4.79, so boot time is longer, but performance shouldn't lag that much. Which version of Mozilla are you using and on what hardware? Also, you may want to try the WAMCom builds as they are newer <=OS 9 builds of Mozilla. -- Power

Re: Netscape Communicator 4.79 vs Communicator 4.8

Eric, I've not had that problem with the WaMCom build. I have seen the slow text typing in the URL bar before, but I think that was with an actual Mozilla or Netscape build and not the WaMCom build, as I don't have that issue anymore at all and I can't remember doing anything other than an ins

Re: Netscape Communicator 4.79 vs Communicator 4.8

Peter, Upgrade to WaMCom's Mozilla 1.3.1 http://www.wamcom.org/latest-131/ There is an 8.6 release. I am running it on my 9.1 G3 1400c and it rocks. Love the tabs and the JS Debugger. I never fire up IE since 5.1.7 seems to be buggier and crash prone for me, need to roll back to 5.1.6 I thin

Re: 1400 upgrade questions

The LCD screen is the difference. I have a 166MHZ 1400c it was on par with my 132 MHZ 7600. I dropped in a Sonnet 333 MHZ G3 and for email, chat, bbedit, dreamweaver, photoshop it is as fast as most iBooks I've used. Once you hit a low memory situation or a hog like Mozilla or Fireworks, it bog

Re: wireless

The Airport has a modem and it works great. We share it between 3 computers and for email, AIM, and minor surfing, it's hard to notice any slowdown as opposed to being one on one with the modem. Now, if someone is downloading a 1+ meg file, surfing gets choppy. My wife surfs and chats while I use

Re: 3400 or 1400

I love my 1400c upgraded with a Sonnet 333MHz G3. It is a solid performer. I use it 10+ hours a day for developing, surfing, AIM, and email. The RAM is limited to 64MB. You can use a CF card for virtual Mem which is fast and saves on battery life. I do that when using Photoshop a lot. Most ti

Amen Bruce! The DOM Inspector, Venkmen (JavaScript debugger), tabs Mozilla/NS rocks! Though mainly for developers and those that do more than just browse the web. I depend on Mozilla 99% of the time for work and play. NOTHING on the Mac side can come close to all the technologies available. By t

Re: netscape 7 hangs on a 3400 ?

the beauty of tabs is that you don't have 400 windows open. Floating around, each one smaller than the last, having to move them around to get to the one underneath (unless you use the window menu). Tabs are very handy. Kind of like IE Mac's placeholder only much more efficient and better laid

i've not tried RD on my 1400c/G3, but I do have it on my an 040 610 machine running 8.1 with only 8 megs of ram. It allows me to run Office, Netscape, and MacHTTP on it rather solidly. I think it uses some sort of RAM disk-like thing for the vm, but not certain. I've had trouble with it before

Re: HD for 1400

I just dropped in a 20gig 5400 rpm IBM travelstar into my 1400c. Works like a dream. I'm not sure what the biggest drive allowed is. I read somewhere that anything faster than 5400 wasn't really worth it on the 1400 due to the bus speed, but I could be wrong about that. I'm running os 9.1 with
