Thanks, Bill. The Apple website must have been swamped but I did finally get to see the new toys and all the specs. It's brilliant. Alex | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 25. The LCS Web page is http://www.kymac.org. | List posting address: mailto:macgroup

MacGroup: Adding a floppy drive to a blue white G3?

2005-01-12 Thread Rex Baldazo
It was probably a stupid waste of money but I just won the bidding for an old PowerBook Duo on eBay. So now I need to download the public OS 7.5.3 images from Apple and put them on some floppies to install onto the Duo (includes a DuoDock that has the 1.4 MB superdrive in it). But the G3 blue

What kind of monitor would one need for that new mac-mini? The ones apple store sells are terribly expensive and large -20 inch screen. I have a friend who is interested in one of those new ones, but the monitor would have to be a lot cheaper. - Also : I still own my Mac 6400/200 with

Should work with any standard PC-compatible VGA monitor, which are dirt-cheap these days. Though if you have a hi-definition TV with the DVI adapter you can connect it there as well. I think that's one of their target markets, people who want a DVD/music server for their fancy new hi-def TV.

It doesn't have to be a high def tv right? Any kind of modern TV I'm assuming. As soon as shops have them, and I can figure out when I'll not have to pay for Tiger, I plan to get one for work and one for home :) It's 3 times better than my powerbook spec-wise, and the powerbook is still pretty
