LOL! Never fear. I still have the Pismo right here looking at me. I keep it for a backup if my Book is in the shop or busy doing something else, or if I'm tinkering inside the Book and want to look at online instructions while I'm doing it, or something like that. No starving children in Bangladesh need to be involved! ;-) Also -- Somebody else mentioned DVD capabilities on the Pismo. Mine -- 500 MHz, max RAM -- never could even play DVD movies very well. Too much stuttering/dropped frames and such. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
