I'm generally happy with this latest conquest -- it's been a long time since I scored something nice. A Titanium PowerBook G4/400 has been donated to me. The amazing thing is that it came in its original box, with all its original contents: manuals (still wrapped), disks, AC adapter, video...

Ooh, so you, good sir, are the author of that fine site! I've had it in my bookmarks for a while now. Very nice work indeed. Cheers! Rick

Maybe! We should look for eBay listings such as "For sale a vintage Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer browser, version 5.5, near-mint condition, with the ultra-rare Alexa toolbar installed!! L@@K AT THIS!" [:D] ]'> Cheers Rick

Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use. Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion of my home network. FireWire is connected to an external disk (to which the iSight is connected in turn). USB #1...

I agree, 7.6.1 is better. Time ago I downgraded my Duo 280c with 24 MB RAM from 8.1 and things got noticeably better. Cheers, Rick

I've been able to re-read large parts of the disappeared thread thanks to Google cached pages, and the impression I had from memory still remains: it was more informative than slanderous. Yes, there was the somewhat recurrent expression "This guy is nuts / insane / out of his mind to list item X...

On one occasion I used for a whole afternoon a PowerMac 9600/350 running Mac OS X 10.2 (thanks to XPostFacto) and it felt snappier than the iMac G3/350 I had at the time (both machines had 256 MB RAM if I remember correctly). But admittedly it's just an empirical observation. Cheers, Rick

I'd keep the Snow iMac. You can have the 7300 if you like. [:D] ]'> Cheers Rick

Ah! Well, then I'm happy things are getting smoother lately. (Are they, right?) [:D] ]'> Cheers, Rick

Just a quick remark en passant. I've been thinking, and what happened behind the scenes must have been something unexpected and unusual. I've been around here enough time to notice that this is usually a well-balanced place, where moderators rarely have to enforce rules, and generally the...

Two minor things... 1) I'm sure you already tried that, but have you tried resetting the PRAM? (let the machine reboot at least three times). 2) Once I tried the following with a mute computer and it worked: I plugged my headphones in and then unplugged them. The machine 'talked' again...

Mac128, a man after my own heart. My thoughts exactly, word by word. Cheers, Rick

I bought a second-hand 5300ce, very well taken care for, in 2003. Never had a problem (touching wood). The battery still lasts 10 minutes. The display is actually good, considering the age, and still quite bright. With its maximum 64 MB and Mac OS 8.1 it's also rather responsive. A bit slow...

I looked into some old archives, the earliest serial database I found is from September 1995. Unfortunately the serial numbers listed there are for After Dark ver. 3.0. Here they are anyway, you might give them a try: ADM-00670-6681 ADM-21289-8489 ADM-30306-9708 ADM-75689-8965...

If you wanted to 'get rid' of your Colour Classic, I think it would have been nice to try to sell it here first. I'm sure there are people here who would've been interested in it. I for one have been looking for a Sonnet Presto Plus for my Colour Classic for a while... Just a thought. Rick

Just a (maybe educated) guess. Perhaps the Power Mac 9500, upon formatting the drives, installs a newer driver that the Performa 578 doesn't recognise. Cheers, Rick

Hello guys, I recently won an auction on eBay for a bunch of 'vintage Mac stuff'. In the package were included three Radius video cards. Two are identical (Nubus?) cards, of rather short length, and identified by a sticker that says "RasterOps Paintboard Turbo XL, ©1994 RasterOps Corporation"...

Amen, Mac128! I'm really trying hard to revive my PowerBook 100 (yes, it's dead again, after a brief return to life) exactly for its small footprint. I'd love to have it back in operation, to use it as a sort of "retro-MacBook-Air" for a writing project I have in mind. Admittedly, of all the...

Filesharing ON on both machines? Have you checked in the AppleTalk control panel on the PowerBook 1400 if the port selected is "Serial/Printer Port" instead of "Ethernet" (or something else)? These are the first two things that come to mind... Cheers Rick

Some initial feedback is coming from the NewtonTalk list. I'll wait a couple of days and then I'll PM you the contributions I've got. Cheers, Rick
