Re: Very Nice PowerBook 3400c for sale!

A lot depends on just how much "laziness" you're willing to accept with the computer in question. For the best OS X experience, you need a fast processor and a supported video system. The first PowerBook which runs X with any snappiness to it is a Pismo, which can be run well in X even without a pr

Re: Very Nice PowerBook 3400c for sale!

I have 512 MB Ram on a stock PDQ, and 10.2 (no updates) runs Firefox very well on ADSL. Prices on eBay are merely an indication of what eBay types are willing to pay or sell for. Such people have little or no imagination (time, patience..whatever). I always do better locally (sometimes further). Be

I have a Wallstreet II (slightly better video than the earlier ones) with a 500mhz G4. How does Mac OS 10.2 run? Terrible. How does hacked Mac OS 10.3 run? Terrible. All in all, these machines are just terrible Mac OS X machines. However, with OS 9 (which actually supports the WS's old Rage LT) a

Greetings. Well, I guess I had this coming posting directly to the PowerBooks list--though you've probably scared-off the one person here that WAS actually interested! I am not unaware that raw values are teetering--that was why (when I have something to sell, that is) I always try to add value

> If fact, I find it hard to see why the WS is not on the same level with the Pismo & Lombard. Are built-in FW and/or USB that important? No, but running Panther is, and you can't do that on a WallStreet without the XPostFacto hack. Although I have heard that it works 99.9 percent of the time with

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

Yes I am very sad as well. I loved that thing and spent so much time and money on it, but I'm in college and need money / a more powerful computer. However I plan to sometime in the future do it all again, and now that I have the experience, not make any of the mistakes I did the first time aroun
