    mini!

    BAH! locked up while updating the OS. I've either got a HDD or RAM issue I think :( computer was still responding though, could log out of screen sharing and back in this time (last night's lockup really locked it up) this time the progress bar was just stuck for over an hour in the...

    Wifi/BT & Ant. for 1.33 G4 Mini?

    so... did you try them out? I ordered a pair, see how it goes. not like I really need bluetooth or wireless in the mini I just got... but it's not that much so what the hell right? might come in useful one day.

    mini!

    bonus for money savings.... I wanted a laser printer in the basement, easier to print out vintage stereo manuals(my other hobby is fixing old audio gear) and ebay shipping labels(how I pay for my hobbies heh). so I got an HP 1200 free from craigslist, and was looking into print servers...

    mini!

    is it still a conquest if it was from a family member? Uncle upgraded to an intel mini a few years back and had his old G4 mini laying around still. optical drive didn't work, took it to the apple store and the repair cost wasn't worth it(he was already complaining about how slow it was) So...

    Quicktake 150

    sweet, so this is the image quality I'll be looking forward to with the one I picked up not too long ago... the PB180 is running so I have something to put the software on(assuming it'll run on that?) even better I still have my B&W quickcam. Owned from new, used it to video chat with...

    Powerbook 150 - screen is blank

    I'm just giving up on the POS 150 I got, I'd still like to get one some day, a much nicer one though. for the IDE drive and 40MB RAM capacity. For now I'll stick with the 180.

    Thinking I should forget the 180 and get a 150

    hey look... 68kmla on the powerbook... does not look so pretty hehe. Also the Asante does not enjoy connecting to 10/100 switches(link light flashes), had to pull out the old 10Base-T hub that's a PITA. xx( playing The Manhole and look, imagewriter II works :) no ink in...

    Powerbook 150 - screen is blank

    the one with the 140 and 150 together? yeah, I got that one. that 150 was in poor condition and has the same problem as yours... I think both of them were garbage finds, very beat up. but the guy was honest, really did not know what he had. 140 worked(screen has some damage) the HDD is...

    Thinking I should forget the 180 and get a 150

    Also to note, I think these were dumpster/trash finds. 140's case was ragged and dirty, the 150 has corrosion stains inside the case really amazed there is ANY functionality out of that 150 at all, the rear port area is GREEN with corrosion inside the case. front half seems to have come out...

    Thinking I should forget the 180 and get a 150

    I know it has a bootable system on it, if I leave it for more than a few minutes the HDD spins down and the backlight on the screen shuts off, hitting the spacebar turns both back on. :p I do not have the cables for SCSI disk mode(the one with the switch) nor do I have a 25 pin to 25 pin...
