Paste should be fine, honestly. It's possible the pad was just old and smelly.

I ran option 2 on both a first model 12" PowerBook G4 and a late model iBook G4 without issue, highly recommended.

The green is just a thermal pad. They're used in place of paste for some applications.

The odds of being able to do it without fracturing the outer shell are slim, if I'm honest.  You could try squirting some Goo Gone on the 'top' of it and letting it soak, then try to slide something thin inside to start breaking off the sticky gunk.

There have been plenty of instances where he's wrecked boards. Plus, do you really want to deal with someone who sells a machine like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Macintosh-IIsi-/182727721026?hash=item2a8b6bc042:g:6O4AAOSwohdZnBko

Well, it's not Uniserver, so that's a point in their favor already. Their feedback is fine, the negatives look like just idiot buyers that didn't understand the seller's terms.

I don't think running Leopard on iMac G3's is a good idea. Nor is it even officially possible.

You may want to do some searching/posting over at the LaserDiscDataBase forums at lddb.com . I want to say I've seen some stuff over there on this. 

That's not what that bar on EveryMac is for...it's for model numbers, like MD101LL/A.

They should be anodized. Apple wouldn't have used paint after the TiBook.

I have a mutt model, a 17" panel with the 15" USB 2.0 base. Works well enough for what I use it for.

There's no 9.2.2 disc short of machine-specific installers. But the 9.2.2 update file is available to download on the internet fairly readily.

That model needs 9.2.2 with ROM revision 9.0.1, 9.2.1 won't work on it. EDIT: Your post is a little vague; are you running 9.2.1 already or trying to install it?

Paste condition definitely does matter. As I've been preparing them for retirement I've been redoing the paste on some E5520s with i5-2520M chips - CPU temp drops an average of 12C with new paste.  And as has been said, don't use too much. You can insulate the chip that way and do more harm...

It's pictures with millions of pixels and videos that are larger than most old Mac hard disks. Are you going to force everyone to upload only 180px images again? Is this a campaign to Make QuickTime Great Again?

Case in point; during Prime Day, Amazon's website displayed their deals in a grid. Each square had the ability to add the item to cart, showcase current stock levels, run a countdown timer until the sale started & ended, and refresh itself as status required. That's much cleaner than forcing...

I think that sums up your stance on the issue.

Hey, I found the thread: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/22376-68kmla-not-usable-with-mac-os-9-anymore/ I'd imagine the forum staff have more or less the same feelings today as they did then.

This was discussed years ago when the change was implemented. It's not happening. Security for everyone is more important than browsing support for ancient hardware.

Does anything need to exist? We don't need any fancy GUI's, Windows 3.0 was just fine.
