Interesting idea, Tina. How do you do that, making Safari (or Camino, or FireFox) pretend it’s an iPad? I did something like that with my PB1400 running 8.6. Its Wamcom browser doesn’t digest Wikipedia well, so I use a convertor for reading Wikipedia on a mobile device. -- You received this

Good choice. You can also put a processor in that DA from a Quicksilver. The video card is upgradable as well. Also, some of those eMacs didn't have very good displays, especially for what you will use it for. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for

Replace the pram. They aren't expensive, or difficult to replace, and most likely is causing all your problems. Repairing the permissions is always a good idea to. -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs -

Thanks for your input. I believe you are right, and I've got 10 more of these machines in here, I want to switch out on one of those, but the batteries probably need replacing as well. They are all around the same age, older. Thanks  --- On Fri, 3/18/11, Jonas Ulrich jonasulrich3...@gmail.com

Since you mentioned the hinge, I'd be willing to bet that your display darkness problem is due to the backlight cable. I'm not sure what you mean by not booting reliably. would you mind elaborating? Chance On Mar 18, 2011, at 10:02 PM, Wayne Garrett groge...@gmail.com wrote: This computer is

Yes, the display power and data cables both can fray over time, and a broken hinge only accelerates the fraying process. Chance On Mar 18, 2011, at 10:35 PM, Wayne Garrett groge...@gmail.com wrote: I will check the cable do they fray inside? I will pull out my tester. The booting issue is
