Macintosh "Portable" - 14 pages of topics searched

NIGHT STALKER
I've sorted the "Portable" hits relating to the Luggables into several categories:

Portable DEGUBBING will be the next installment as it's significantly longer than the others and something I'm interested in getting into very soon with mine. Then again, I've got the bookmarks already, so we'll see when that happens. [:)]

I'm starting with Portable Hacks, which includes any number of interesting hardware topics I've run across for the Luggable. Six other categories to follow at some point.

Other than the first few of mine at the very top, the list is from newer @top to older @bottom, but the last three or four pages of the search went haywire. Go figure  .  .  .  :blink:

edit: I imagine there are many more topics with information about the Portable that don't have the search term "Portable" in the title, so feel free to add to the list, please!

Links mostly didn't survive the crash/update, but titles should be searchable? I've got another couple of years worth of posts to comb thru now when I get a chance. Eventually I'll get around to playing with mine. :oops:
