    good points...and I suspected as much....Most problems with our CC and other similar compacts are glitches like this. Most are connections and joints that need to be 'refreshed' or so on...I guess these machines are far exceeding their operational lives..and hence some of these 'new' problems...

    The manual may speak of evil...but hey, been using my QT 150 for almost 11 yrs..and many of those yrs, I slummed at the altar of AA batteries..as Lithium batteries costed tooo much, or were too @#$%ing hard to find.. one thing all 150 users--should do...check for battery grunge and that scummy...

    QuickTake 150!

    The 150, was a improvement over the original 100...and sold new at the time close to $ 700 (USD) biggest improvements were lens and picture storage...The 200 was the best of the bunch, but for some reason, you don't see as many 200's out there I see 150's, but nary any 100's.. For the era...

    One Good Turn blah, blah, blah

    I used to have a PB 160....before I traded it in, for a then 'new' PB 165c (bit of a dog, screen wise-passive matrix ) the ONE good thing about the PB 150, was the amount of ram.. up to 40 mb , using a duo motherboard...and other 100 series Powerbooks had a ram ceiling of 14mb....

    Classic II ROM/FPU expansion board

    No doubt, the SE/30, was and still is the way to go...far more potential, much faster, bigger data bus, than the classic II....the classic II, was a poor replacement for the SE/30, when it was retired... in fact, the classic II, should have been the original Classic released, instead of the...
