I'm in a slightly noisy office at the moment so it's hard to be

from its dead hard drive experience with a note saying a different
version of the logic board had been installed and also new installation

I have friends who don't have enough spare cash to buy a decent pc or
mac.
So I was wondering if I could suggest that they pick up an old iMac
600mhz for about £50 GBP from ebay and set that up. They ONLY want to

The battery in my G4 550 TiBook has finally given up the ghost after
