I agree, the 4th and 5th gen Nanos are my favorite modernish colored product. Thank goodness there's a variety of case options for iPod touch, the colors Apple offers are pretty dull. But black goes with everything, so it works. :) ColorWare lets you customize some tech products. They don't...

Does a somewhat big discrepancy between the System file version and the Finder version cause any trouble? So far it seems like it's working OK, but the only useful program it has on it is Word 5.0 so it hasn't really been used yet. Mostly I want to know if I should make finding a regular version...

OK. :) Will give that a try when I can spend some quality time with it, knowing my luck if I rushed through I would break something. When a bomb appears on the screen, do all the programs in the background freeze? Like, if I was running a stopwatch program would the stopwatch stop counting...

Yeah, it does tell you the System file version. I did it on the PB and it just said 7.1. Just for fun I did Get Info on Finder too. It says version 7.5.1, and below the word Finder next to the icon in the Get Info window it says Color SW 1500 v. 2.2.1. I also remember seeing color-related...

Just now saw your reply, life caught up with me. :p It has never given me a Sad Mac or death chimes without someone/thing pressing the interrupt key combo. It's been super reliable for almost 20 years, minus the bombs. The only pattern I've seen is that the bombs usually only appear when the...

Yeah, I love all of the colors too. If I absolutely had to pick a favorite it would be bondi, since my favorite color at the moment is teal. But really they're all gorgeous. Someday it would be nice to collect all the colors and own the rainbow! :p

Ooh, if 7.1.2 works on my PB 145 I'm interested. :D I just started it up (with headphones... in case anyone hasn't tried starting a Mac with headphones before, it's loud!) to check and it doesn't say what version of 7.1 it's running so I could do 7.1.2 and still be original to the best of my...

That would be awesome!

Jeez, are there any computers under all that dust? Hard to tell. :lol:

LOL! That made my day. :D :p Can you take a video? I would love to hear that!

Congrats, that's awesome! :D

  That would definitely explain the texture and transparency differences. The colors also aren't quite bright enough from what I've seen. But it's the only one I could find that showed something blueberryish next to something indigoish, so there ya go. Putting together an accurate color chart...

Unnecessarily large pictures for the win! :lol: It was probably the lighting that tripped me up regarding my iMac. Color can sometimes be tricky for me - I know tons of different names for similar colors, and in some situations I can easily identify even the slightest differences but in other...

So, they rebuild any battery that's not lithium? The closest Batteries Plus is about an hour away from here. So it's a doable trip, just a bit out of the way. :p

Wikipedia, the most reliable source on the internet, confirms that the 100 is basically a mini portable. A quote from the PowerBook 100 series page: The PowerBook 140 and 170 were the original PowerBook designs, while the PowerBook 100 was the result of Apple having sent the schematics of the...

Do all Batteries Plus shops rebuild batteries that old? That's probably my only option out here. I'm not hundreds of miles removed from human civilization or anything, but a town this small doesn't have much in the way of things like that. :p

That got me thinking, it might be easier to put the data on a flash drive and take that to the iMac, then put the data on a properly formatted floppy from the iMac. Theoretically that would skip having to deal with DOS/FAT formatted disks. What unpackers would you suggest? StuffIt Expander has...

Makes sense. The PB is three years older than me and as far as I know everything is original, so figured that something had to not work. :lol: Do y'all have suggestions on where to find replacement batteries and displays for PowerBook 145? I'd like to use mine as an actual laptop sometime...

I took a video of what it's doing, just 'cause I was bored and wanted something to do. :p Y'all can watch it here. And yeah, the video quality sucks. My iPod was my only option since my camera needs charging.

Yeah, I was surprised that it started up at all with just the battery. It has better battery life than some of the "laptops" at my school! :lol: It's good to know that cycling the battery can be that magical! Most of the time I'm at home. The PowerBook alternates between sitting on my desk...
