I think that I should pipe in here because I think if you are going to use the old hard ware on a daily basis then good for you. I still own a duo and use it for text docs on my home network and print to an old laser-writer. I also have an old classic hooked to a apple-one BW scanner and on to the

I think acknowledging that we know only a small part of reality is a sign of strength. The more we understand how little we know, the closer we get to world peace, that's my conviction.

Hi, all, With the help of several list members, I got my "new" PB up again, and got OS7.5.3 installed and working. Thanks! I ran across a Sandisk CompactFlash PC card adapter yesterday, for $12. Since I already had a CF USB adapter for my other machines, I bought it and tried it. IT WORKS!
