I, too run my main machine as a PB 540c...tricked out with a PPC processor, 40mb ram, 6gig hard drive, wireless card, external CDRW, external 6x Panasonic Portable CD player, Quicktake 150, Portable Stylewriter, and Newton 130. I joke with friends that I have the absolute best of 1997 technology.
I am starting to debate upgrading, though. I am eyeing a Wallstreet. It would be nice to downsize the overall footprint size of stuff on my desk. I would get rid of everything and get a Wallstreet with one of the rare CDRW internal drives... ----- Original Message ----- From: PowerBooks <[email protected]> To: PowerBooks <[email protected]> Subject: PowerBooks Digest #2335 > On 1/5/06, TEW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On or about Tue, 3 Jan 2006 18:50:50 -0500, John Kneeland or someone > > claiming such identity, wrote: > > > > >Who here runs on the oldest 'Book (as their MAIN machine...anyone can > > >say they have a Mac Portable while using a 17" PBG4 as their daily > > >machine...that is, anyone with lots of disposable income!) > > > > Hi, John.
