2) On the Mac side, either a Newton or anything running the PalmOS are good choices. Just remember if you get a Palm device, you need a Serial Cradle to use it (Normally, they come with USB Cradles in box).

3) I recall there was a program that did this a long time ago, but I don't recall the name. If you get a Palm, you can keep track of 4 cities,but unfortunetly not 5.

4) As mentioned before Mac-Underdogs is a good place to stop and grab some decent games for 68K.

5) With the 190cs, there is basicly 2 ways to get the Internet directly in: over a modem (dialup) or over Ethernet (broadband). If you have a dialup service, connect the phone line to the built in modem or a modem PCMCIA card, and input your provider information in. If you have broadband, you need to purchase a AAUI Transiever (roughly $10) and a router if you don't already have one. Then connect everything together, and your off and running. Just so you know, running the Internet on a 68K Powerbook is god-awful slow, and may not be worth the time and effort.

6) You should use your battery sometimes just to make sure it still holds a good charge. Having the power plugged in all the time is OK, and is not necessarily bad for the batteries. If you are using your Powerbook for months on end without using the batteries, then you might see some depleation of battery life.

Battery Care:
- Keep batteries away from open flame/intense heat
- Protect metal contacts from small metal objects; failure to do so may cause a shorting out of the battery
- If you are planning on leaving your Powerbook in storage for more than 2 months, remove the battery from the Powerbook and store seperatly. If you don't, battery life will decrease.

Battery Reconditioning is a fairly simple concept. Inside the battery is a microchip designed to regulate how much power is left within the battery and how high to fill it when charging. Over time (after numerous times charging), the battery will slowly start to loose the ability to charge to full capacity. This is known as the "memory effect". Reconditioning the battery basicly goes in, resets the microchip, and will give you back most of the life. The memory effect is a problem commonly seen on Powerbook 140-180c model computers. Your 190cs shouldn't see this too often, but now you know just in case. You don't need to do this unless you start noticing signifigant differences in battery life. And no, you don't have to recondition every time you install a new OS, so your already set to go.

7) I'm not familiar with null-modems and the StarGate software, so that answer you will have to obtain from someone else.

Hope this helps

for the use of those batteries...
I would say taht you should use them whenever you feel like taking your powerbook with you somewhere... personally I don't have a functioning PowerBook... I have 3 desktop macs, (2 PPC) and one PowerBook 100...

the 190CS is an 040 PowerBook...
how much RAM does it have? because I ran internet software on my Quadra840AV and it often went faster than my iMac did...

course... back to the RAM... the quadra840 had 64, whereas the iMac had only 32MB at that time...
