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...
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...

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.
In the early 2000s I had an interesting experience. Riding my bike in New York City, heading back to the train station, I saw a Power PC 7200/120 that had been tossed out. By some freaking miracle, I managed to carry it under one arm while I rode my bike back to the train station. That was NOT...
I'll definitely be there. I drove to the Trenton New Jersey computer show (I haven't been to that in almost 30 years). Steve of Mac84 told me it had turned into a rather sad affair, which unfortunately was true. I did pick up a $25 Windows laptop, but the keys are acting a little funky. When I...
Hi.
So, a friend is using Windows 10. During an automatic update for both Windows and Chrome, all his bookmarks were deleted . He says all his Microsoft Office products are gone.
Is there any way he can recover what he lost? Thanks.
I'll start. Lessee...
It's been a long time!! Late 1990s?? I got a Centris 650 that way in the Tribeca area of New York City. A number of buddies and I were notified that a company was getting rid of a lot of computer stuff. We went down there. A light rain was in progress. There were A TON of...
