I had a monitor that did that. I set the desktop picture to be nice scenery over water, and when I started up, it looked like dawn breaking!

Anybody know how the weight compares to a regular HD?

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

Oh duh. The bong is back! (ice cream cone to forehead)

Well, I tried booting the G4 off the G3 with the G3 in target disk mode. Nothing. I couldn't get a Panther disk (10.3.5, from 2004, says iBook G4 on it) into the G4's slot, and then when I finally did, (after also scratching the top surface of the disk), now I can't get it out. When I start up...

Never thought of trying that. I'll try it with my iBook G3.

So far, that's not the problem. All deficits appear to be directly related to the hard drive and the optical drive. The display is fine, the power connection behaves properly, it doesn't seem to freeze, it basically just can't find a system folder because there's nothing working that has one. I...

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...

That's beautiful.

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...

Now we know what those handles are really for... :lol:

Now, now, keep it clean (says the Grandma)

I always wanted a jewel tone iMac, ruby or sage. But I got a graphite much like that one because when it was time to buy it my other choices were (ew) blue dalmatian and (ick) flower power...It's still running at my daughter's house. :)

I'm pretty sure you mean certified. Registered is for maximum security (stocks, etc.) and costs $11.50. Certified ($2.80) is proof of mailing, you can check it online, and the return receipt is proof of delivery.

Used and in the school's packaging, for the most part. From the classrooms or the library.

(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...

Most times of the year it would be bad to put things out on the curb, they get rained on. ;D

I enjoyed the description on that last Powerbook: I always worry about getting a moldy computer... :lol:

Pacifist did the trick for me. Now I have back my iMovie HD (5.0.1) and I am a happy clam. I was able to extract it from my iMac G5 disks. Now I have to decide if I want to go ahead and install my iLife '09 that was included in the package with my current iMac. I'm guessing it won't interfere...
