I wasn't exactly sure where to post this question... But here it goes:
Isn't there a way to make REAL iPod games? Not that iStories thing which is
really just a bunch
of text but a real game (you all know what I mean).

SOmeone gave me a powerbook 1400 without giving me the floppies or CDs.
Can someone just send me the enabler to be able to use system 7.5?
Thanks

I've got three ibook batteries, all allegedly fully charged. When you
press the status indicator button on battery number 1, the four green
lights glow for a short time and go off. When you press the status
button on battery number 2, the four lights blink several times and then

I recently purchased a Powerbook 17 1.5ghz, and was wondering what media
works with the optical drive. I do most of my burning from Toast 6, though
will be using iDVD (probably) to produce my DVDs.
I would, however, but interested to know if any other formats (other than

I have two questions. Fist, can any one tell me what codec I need to
play a RAM (or RM) file and where to get it?
Also I am using OSX 3.2 on a 12 inch g4 power book. Under system 9 you
could choose how to burn a disk under system prefs (one of the choices

  I'm seriously considering upgrading my Powerbook G3 2000 (Pismo) to a
newer G4 system.
  The old Powerbook has a gig of memory and 60 gigs of disk space.
  The disk is partitioned into two partitions: one an Aux parition (about

Just curious if anyone has tried that "InFocus" projector.
(the lowest priced  "X1" model)
The company claims that their $1,000 projector can throw the live screen
display of a Mac up onto a large screen, for many people to view.

My wife has an old ibook (blueberry with 1 USB port). Is it possible
to buy hardware which will make this notebook able to pick up a
wireless connection from a 802.11 a/b/g router?
Thanks

I want to buy a 64 or 128 mb ram module for the Original G3 powerbook
(called the 3500 or the Kanga) in the same form as the 3400. However,
Ram for the 3400 does NOT always work in the 3500.
Please email me (kaldav@labyrinth.net.au) with your price and size of ram

Anybody know of a site where owners of the Mac PowerBook G3 Kanga
model from 1997 can find info about what cards/drives/accessories will
work with these odd little creatures?
I got my Kanga at a yard sale for next to nothing, and I'm trying to

Just wondering:
I have a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet II (300MHz, 192MB RAM, 8GB Hard Drive)
running Mac OS 9.2.2.   Also have a DVD module and the Apple MPEG Card in
the lower cardbus slot for watching DVD videos.

I just replaced a 10GB Toshiba HD in my Pismo with a 40GB Toshiba MK4019GAX
HD.  While it spins extremely quiet whenever it seeks (or whatever it is
doing) it makes quite a bit of noise that I find intolerable in a quite
office or in a meeting.

I bought this "PC Card" that claims to have "USB2.0 + IEEE1394 Cardbus"
and claimed to work with Mac OS 10.2. Yes, I bought it on E-bay but what
the heck, the price was right and I'd lost the dongle for my MacAlly
card (USB 1 only.)

Hi, folks.
I have a 2003 12" iBook G4 (running OS X 10.3), and I'm having
troubles connecting the iBook to an external monitor and getting good
video from it.

got an iBook with combo drive (SONY CD-RW CRX820E). I have a DVD region
2, but most DVDs I watch are region 1. I know I can only switch back and
forth 5 times, is there a way around this? very frustrating, especially
when you can get a stand-alone DVD player at best buy for $36 ...
