    What you think about when you can't sleep, lol

    Last night I was trying to get to sleep and started to think about old plastic models that are now being re-released by new manufacturers. From that, my brain took a lateral leap to PowerBooks. Were the cases injection molded? If so then like the above mentioned plastic models, are the molds...

    I just acquired another PowerBook 180 and want to clean the ball contacts. The trouble is that the ring holding the ball in refuses to rotate. Given how brittle this plastic is, how should I go about rotating it safely? Suggestions very welcome!

    G4 questions

    As stated in the Conquests forum, I recently came into possession of a 733MHz Digital Audio G4. It had no hard drive, no monitor, no keyboard and no mouse. My PC monitor looks to work fine on it, the PC mouse as well. I have some old IDE drives (30 -40GB) so I should be fine there. What I don't...

    Pagemaker 3.0 and PB180.

    I asked this on another board, but no luck so far, so I'll repeat my request here: Hi all, Here's a blast from the past! I have a PowerBook 180, and an old (read ancient!) copy of PageMaker 3.0. The install proceeds normally until just at the end. I get a message that the Pagemaker file is...

    PowerBook 180 Clock

    Just got one of these at a thrift shop for $9.00 CAD [:D] ]'> and it boots fine with only one dead pixel on the screen. The main battery is stone dead, and I presume the PRAM battery is as well, because the time displayed in the title bar changes randomly. Does anyone have a link to the...
