The iBook G4 saga continues. I got frustrated trying to get my machine to work and found one just like it on eBay for $30 untested, which turns out to have identical specs to my problem child except it runs just fine. Used my set of appropriate install disks to install Tiger and Classic...

In the interim while I am without my main Mac, I have pulled out an iBook G4 that I haven't touched in a looooong time. I believe it has 10.4 on it. Got the forgotten password sorted out. It starts up until it gets to the screen with the swoopy blue abstract design, does not load any further...

Garage sale last weekend, for a quarter, with the add-on keyboard! Put in some batteries and it fired right up! Too bad the Palm network is no more. Now it's time to see if I can sync it with my Lombard (which has IR) and my iMac (which doesn't). Too bad I have no cradle, but I'm keeping an eye...

Rather than try to completely disassemble the iBook g4 I recently got that needed a new HD and optical drive, I bought this...

Well, I took the plunge and got this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=170562977885&si=l9U628FIkYbQNuEJvmzQ4bR1TjQ%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT The seller was scrupulously accurate in the description. I tried firewire...

I just got Kid Pix Deluxe 4 Home Edition and tried installing it. Problem. Apparently it doesn't like the current Quicktime and some of the features don't work. There is supposed to be an update patch that will fix that, but all my Googling only finds a classroom version update and that doesn't...

I won it in a contest that had hardly any entries, at Macforce (a local store). It's a 5G, in my second choice color, blue (who's complaining?) and it is great because my old Nano 1G is on its last legs, you have to fiddle with it to get it to work. I took movies of grandkid's birthday party...

(I thought I had posted this, but apparently not.) Went to the big main Goodwill in Portland today. A school has donated a huge bunch of elementary-age old software. I saw many Word Muncher, Math Blaster, Oregon Trail, and animal, science, and geographical software. I got two KidPix Studio...

When my iMac G5 died and I got my Intel iMac, it came with iMovie 8 and an iLife 09 disk which I have not yet installed. I have tried using iMovie 08 but so far I just hate it. I had no problem using previous versions of iMovie and I'd like to go back to the version the G5 came with, I think it...

Found it quite by accident. A very small application. You can change the startup image from that tired looking gray apple to something else. Says it's for Tiger or Leopard, don't know if there's an older version or not. Now my Intel iMac starts up with a Happy Mac and my iBook with a Picasso...

Anybody know where I can get this? When I find a link it goes to a photographer's site.

Well, I was at a rummage sale this morning and next to the old DVD players and broken-down printer, I found a cute little thing that unfolds into a keyboard, never saw anything like it before. So, not knowing what it was, knowing I probably would never be able to use it, I bought it for a...

Finally got around to putting in the stripy insert I bought from iColours to customize my iBook G3 600. Alas, I was only able to get one of the screws out to open up the lid. The other 3 seem to have had the holes in their heads stripped, and I couldn't get them out. Wonder if it would be worth...

Well, it said Mac/PC in the auction and also on the disk, but when I try to open it all I see is Windows looking stuff, nothing I can open and use. I got it for my granddaughter for her birthday but I forgot to throw it into the bag. Now I'm glad I didn't. It's copyright 2003, I would expect it...

Just got (for husband's peace of mind) a set of 2 security cameras that wirelessly connect to a receiver, which connects to TV/VCR/etc with an AV cable that has one red and one yellow connector on each end. Hooked right up, no problem, we can watch it, but I don't have a VCR these days and I'd...

Yes. I got a case that looks like it's designed for Microsoft Office disks, but it contained: Mac OS X 10.1 Mac OS X Developer Tools 10.1 Mac OS 9.2.1 Spressa Professional with Discribe for Mac and cd extreme for Windows Adobe Photoshop 6.0 education version for Macintosh Adobe Illustrator...

If anyone has or uses a Wacom digitizer tablet I could sure use some help. I have not been able to locate any kind of user guide for this thing. I was given a Wacom drawing tablet with the ADB connection and it has been sitting around for a while. Finally got a USB to ADB adapter and downloaded...

My newly acquired iBook G3 600 seems good in every way, except: I can't network with ethernet. I tried to connect it with the iMac G5, they didn't see each other. My Lombard connects with the G5 with the same cable. The Lombard will not connect with the iBook. Is it a bad Ethernet connection on...

Got burned out trying to ressemble my Pismo, so I took a Lombard on my long trip. It worked great, without giving me a bit of trouble, but it became a big weight to carry around and I had to switch PC cards in and out of it. So I have just bought myself a nice iBook G3 600, I believe late 2001...

Got tired of trying to make the Pismo I had open up and take its new parts. So I bought the one matt_s78mn had listed. I am so happy! It needed a working processor card and I had the one from my naughty 'book. Bonged right up after that! And he even threw in a HD! All freshly formatted and with...
