I hope you're aware that (as the name implies), this device is a handwriting-based Japanese input method, not a graphics tablet. That being said, I'd really like to get some disk images and run the installer myself to see what happens. The requirements listed on the quick start sheet (first...

I wouldn't mind running through the installer/documentation, if you can provide the materials.

People really need to stop expecting free stuff, especially when it comes to Apple. You might occasionally get something for free, but usually you don't, and when you do it tends to be from people you know, when you're not expecting it, not when you're looking for it and you ask strangers on the...

When 10.5 was first released, my primary computer was one of these single 1.25GHz G4s. I installed it on a spare disk to test and switched over to it several months later, and I have no memory of 10.4 performing better or 10.5 feeling slower. I continued to use it happily for another four years...

That's fair. I was never really a PC person so it doesn't feel inherently more straightforward to me, but its simplicity does make it very sturdy. Each design has its advantages. While it's nice that the 840AV doesn't require removing any major components other than the cover to get to the logic...

One point people are trying to make here isn't just that it will be slow, but that it will likely either be unreliable or not work at all unless you are very strategic about which sites you visit. That's not out of the question; I keep Classilla on my OS 9 machines and occasionally use them to...

My 68K Mac of choice is an 840AV - not because I sought one out, but because somebody gave me one and it nudged everything else out of the way for obvious reasons. There is good and bad to be said about the case. Yes, you have to remove the logic board to install memory or replace the battery...

I looks like nobody else has directly, so I need to ask: are you viewing this machine as a hobby, or as a modern productive computer? Considering the hardware lineup listed in your signature and your mention of recently switching from an iPhone 2 to a 3GS, I'm beginning to suspect the latter. If...

I went to Weird Stuff last year when I was in the area and did not see many interesting machines (at least not in the area open to customers), but I did load up on cables and adapters for old Macs, and bought some software. It was fun to look around.

The 1400 is usually very easy to live with for a relatively low price, if you specifically desire gray/six-color logo PowerBooks like I do. If you don't care, you could always go for a G3 or higher I guess. Although... shameless 2400 plug. You can often get them for about $90 if you're patient.

The RAM is around, but the CPU cards not so much. I got a 333MHz Crescendo last year (standalone) and have seen few since.

I seriously doubt it. The 2400c has an unusually small key pitch, and I'm not aware of any ThinkPads (or much else) that match it. Even with matching pitch, chances of them actually being swappable, and looking right once installed, are slim to none. If you want third-party keyboards, though, a...

I thought there was no WPA at all for Mac OS 9, regardless of your hardware, because none of the wireless software supports it. Not that I don't also want it.

I literally just got the extra batteries I was waiting for before I pursued this, so I am about to try myself. We'll see what happens. EDIT: I just placed an order to recell a PowerBook 2400 battery with batteryrefill.com; I was quoted $57 + $10 shipping. I will provide more updates as things...
