Hey folks, Check out the link below. Is this the appropriate Airport Card for my G4 MDD? (It didn't come with one.)...

It's still a bit early, but the weather forecast for the Vintage Computer Federation Swap Meet in Wall Township New Jersey so far is this- Hot and humid, temperatures in the low 90s (32 C) with the chance of thunderstorms. The good thing is that the swap meet starts early, around 8 AM. Wall...

Hey folks...so, this is the first time I'm trying this. The drive was an 80 gig Maxtor external HD, and it bit the dust. I want to convert this to a 250 gig SSD external drive for my G4 MDD. What kind of adapter must I get to hook up the SSD?

Hey folks, So, I'm playing around with the G4 MDD. I'm coming across some odd little problems- 1) After getting the PSU back from repair and installing it in the G4, I booted it up once or twice-then didn't touch it for a week. When I booted the G4 up later, I got a blank screen. After doing...

Hey folks, So, I need to get a USB card for my G4 MDD. But given the age of this machine-should I look on eBay for used cards, or can I get a new card that might be outfitted with USB 3.0 but settle for the slower speeds? Or is the plug-in slot on the G4's motherboard only meant for older PCI...

I want to look around for a back-up power supply. While the one that came with my clamshell iBook works, there's a break inside the power cable near the plug. None of the plastic around the plug is broken. I think this is simply due to age and use. Sometimes, you can see the flash of electricity...

So, I'm playing around with my clamshell iBook. While this machine has a 10-gig drive, it was stuffed with software that's taking up most of it: there's 6.54 gigs of data on it now, with 2.7 gigs free! 😂 There's quite a few games on here. 🙃 I'm having a wee bit of trouble with the DVD player-a...

Hey folks, So, my clamshell iBook should be arriving between Thursday and Saturday. While it will be a home unit, I know that the battery is most likely dead-and I'd still like to get a battery for it. Where is a good place to get decent after-market batteries for these clamshell iBooks? What's...

The specs? 466 mhz, 320 megs of RAM, 10 gig HD & DVD drive. It comes with software. It should arrive Saturday. It will be more of a toy than anything, but I will be doing writing on it. Aside from the coolness factor, I could never afford one new. No more insane spending, though. FTS. 😝 🤪:geek:

Older piece from 2007 that needed some fine-tuning. Actress Lucy Lawless appeared on Broadway in Grease as Rizzo in 1997. Again-Prismacolor pencils that were punched up a bit in Photoshop.

I reinstalled the power supply. The G4 is back in business. What’s incredibly surprising is how much QUIETER the G4 is!! 😳😱 Andy did a good job. :cool:

Back in the 90s, I'd cry crocodile tears over Macs I couldn't afford. One of them was the clamshell iBook. Now, fool that I am, I want to get my hands on one. :p So, my questions- What should I look out for, in terms of failing parts? What would be some decent prices for one? I'm looking for...

Hope this is the right forum!

I picked this machine up at the Trenton Computer Festival (New Jersey) for $25. The price was too tempting to ignore. it's in surprisingly good shape. I'm mostly a Mac person, but I have nothing against Windows. I don't care what the system is, as long as it gets the work done. In 2010, I...

So, I drove to VCF East last week, and I spoke to Mike of Mike's Mac Shack on YouTube. He mentioned a person who fixes G4 MDD power supplies. This looks like the guy. Apologies for the LONG URL...

Left to right, top to bottom: actors Robert Trebor, Lucy Lawless, Adrienne Wilkinson, Bruce Campbell The work is done in Prismacolor pencils. I used Photoshop to enhance the brightness/contrast. I'm in the middle of a new portrait now.
