First time posting to this group.
I ordered a custom powerbook G4 15-inch a couple weeks ago, and have
been playing with it for over a week now.
I wrote a review on my blog if anyone is interested. Pictures posted as well.

This is probably off topic, please bear with me:
Can I safely use the Tiger disc supplied with my new Powerbook to update
 my son's eMac from Panther?
Thanks.

Hi. So...I'm thinking of buying either a titanium Powerbook or a
white G3 iBook(probably 600 0r 700). Mostly I'll just use it for
internet surfing, but I also want to run Photoshop 7.
Any opinions on which would be a better choice?

I have a Pismo Powerbook G3/500 Mhz and I'm looking to upgrade wit
additional RAM and a new external HD.  Someone had suggested to me t
wipe my drive clean and start over (after backing up).  I am a bi
concerned about doing such a thing (this is my first Mac, I'v

I am upgrading my Pismo Powerbook G3/500 Mhz and just got more RAM, fro
256 to 528.  Any instructions, suggestions, things to look for, o

I'm about to buy some more RAM for my PowerBook, and trying to decide
if I should pay someone at the Mac store to install it, or do it
myself. Anyone have any input on how hard it is to do without hurting
your machine?

Help!  I need the easiest way to do this.  I'm helping someone with two
profiles in Outlook Express and she is moving to a mac.  I already
tried using the dbx file conversion program.  I did get it to work, but
for some reason when I click on the imported folder, I see the inbox

Hi y'all.
My poor lil' ibook no longer plays DVD properly, I can play the sound,
but no image. I'm running 9.2.2, and have tried many different dvd's
including those that I know to work previously in the machine.  .

I also posted this in uk.comp.sys.mac, and I am UK based, but there are
probably more Titanium PowerBook experts here, so I thought I would ask
here as well:
I have a TiBook (1Ghz, 1GB RAM, DVD-R, 10.4.2) that I adore.

Who's displays have the best viewing angle? Out of Apple, Dell, HP, Toshiba,
anyone...
What is your experience?

Can anyone tell me if they have seen this glitch before... I charge my
4 month old ibook G4 1 Ghz to 100% then I use it (on battery) for most
of the day at work. When I get home I rechage it until the menu bar
indicator shows charged. Now if I check the percentage it only show

I am planning on buying a G4 PowerBook sometime soon and just had a
few questions before I bite the bullet and do it :)
1. How much does RAM really matter a.k.a. will upgrading from 512mb
to 1gb

A google search reveals that some PC mp3-player software allows you to see
(at the click of a button, supposedly) all the playlists a given song in
your library appears on.  Can ITunes do that?  It's not a column view
option, I've noticed.  One of the reason I hesitate to throw away

I have two ipods, both with 20gb hard drives, one worked and the other
didn't so  I put
the hard drive from the non-working ipod in the ipod that works and
nothing

I'm trying to transfer files from my *old* pc to my powerbook. the pc
is running Win '95, the powerbook Tiger.
The pc doesn't have a cd-burner, and the powerbook hasn't got a floppy
drive.
