Hello... just signed up, thought I'd have a poke around.

I'm James, I'm a Powerbook G3 lombard owner. (no one hate me..)

I'm a Technical Systems Analyst, work with cisco and open-systems at a
Perth public hospital (yay). I also run my own small business "Cybix"
where I provide linux and inter-networking solutions in business.

I'm not OS or hardware bias in any way.. I use PC and MAC hardware, and
like to mess around with Linux, etc.

I havent had the powerbook for long, it was given to me by my mother who
"upgraded" to a Sony Vaio, hah...

Anyhow, the powerbook doesnt seem to be keeping it's system time, the
battery doesnt work in either dockbay (at all, has a red X on the batt
symbol) so it only works off mains power.

Unfortunately the DVD-rom drive is back in the UK and will be posted to me
next year, I kinda need a cd or dvd-rom drive so I can ditch MAC OS 8.6
and get YDL (yellow dog linux on it).

If someone could loan me a rom that would be tops!

Cheers, James
