Re: What to do with IIcx?

To an extent, the computer has become like food and wine. I don't know about you, but I figure I have *enough money* to eat genuine chicken marsala or lamb procençal or carne adovada con chile rojos. I know I *could* eat a Big Mac or a Swanson's Frozen Dinner or, for that matter, I could s

Re: What to do with IIcx?

I was warned ... repeatedly ... that Panther 10.3 would be too slow on an iMac G3. I have found that NOT to be true. I have two G3's that run on Panther, and run better than they ever did on OS 9.2, which was pretty good. I have a 333Mhz with 320mb RAM that I bought new in '99, and a 233Mhz wit

Re: What to do with IIcx?

I notice that G3 iMacs still sell for about $100 or more on eBay. I've got a PowerMac 7100/66 with a 266MHz Sonnet Crescendo G3 upgrade. It runs OS9, and IE5 just fine. I'd like to get Word and Excel on it as well. Too bad OpenOffice.org only works for OS X. My "new" computers aren't that great,

Re: mac charly

Yes, the MacCharlie was a PC Compatibilty box made by Dayna. As far as I know, it was basically a mini PC, with some sort of terminal or communications software that ran on the Mac, enabling the Mac to display the PC's text. It was a very short lived product. Some information is available he

Re: What to do with IIcx?

I have several compact Macs (512k's, Pluses and SEs)as well as Mac IIsi's, IIci's, LC's (LC. Performa 405, Performa 450), a Q605 as well as my 5260/100 and my 5400/180 (my non-Macs won't be mentioned). People are amazed that I don't feel the need for a G4 or G5 (or at the very least a G3!). Would I
