Hi everyone!
New to this forum (well, returning to it) but a Mac user since 1996. I went in reverse order and started on PowerPC (Performa 6200) then picked up a PowerBook 150 a year later and entered the 68k world on the Mac (Amiga user since 1991...)
Anyway... I've picked up a relatively good condition PowerBook 145B and it should arrive after Christmas. Super excited! I'm not sure of the specs but it runs, and superficially, despite ghosting on the display (which may just be contrast settings) it looks good.
Question to the forum - should I look to get this recapped ASAP? Is it safe to use for a bit before that, given the fact it does run and has been powered up in the past few weeks?
Thanks!
