    Clamshell iBook no ethernet link

    I came into a first gen clamshell iBook recently. First thing I did was toss in an OS 9 disk and wipe and re-install the OS. For the record, I believe it was 9.04. There was no Airport card in the machine, so I plugged in an ethernet cable but got no connectivity. Looking at my switch, I don't...

    VCFMW?

    There certainly was a good vibe going at the show - people really enjoyed being there physically. I was happy to see that almost without exception everyone was masked, and liberally using the hand sanitizer that was available all over the venue. I know I enjoyed seeing old friends and new...

    VCFMW?

    Anyone else going to VCFMW this weekend? I'm planning to be there with a couple of friends. Looks like our tables will be very near the "free pile" - hope that's not dangerous - the goal is to come home with less than I bring! Apple stuff I'm going to have for sale include a Lisa with a bad...
