I made it back a little sooner than expected. Ive got my 1st laptop =) Though I had to go down to the Fed Ex warehouse today to get it. grrr. Over all Im pretty pleased. Though the transition is going to take a bit of time...went cold turkey... traded my B&W G4 straite trade for an iBook500.
Aside for the <in my opinion> failed attempt at a top case color/mod it is in very nice condition... (least he used paint thinner instead of sanding it off) G3 / 500 384mb Ram Cd-rom yo-yo psu System CD's < should be here Mon. > Im dying to pop this thing open and see whats inside, but I thought best to get some opinions and research =) *1 does anyone have a top case hood they want to part with ? *2 what type dvd-rom's can I put in here < all laptop drives pretty much the same like towers? > *3 Can this model live without this OSx.2.1 thing thats on here? (Im sure it is a very pleasant and tidy OS when you get used to it, but its a bit too slow on a G3 500 with a 66mhz bus speed and 8mb vram) 9.2.1 ok? can I load a retail version or do I need to wait for the system software cd? *4 has anyone <personally> manipulated their MB towards a 600mhz/100mhz bus configuration? I guess that will do it for now Thanks for any advice. Ralph -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
