from some of the sites i've read, this isn't supposed to be possible... i just did a fresh 10.3 install on a blue/white G3/450mhz mac that was running 9.2 and had a SCSI 2G Jaz drive connected as well as...
There've been numerous reasons for my semi-disappearance, but I think I'd finally like to come back now.
After much research and several really good suggestions (and pointers) from some of you, I've finally purchased a rechargeable battery system for my little digital point and shoot. I ended up going with a Maha NiMh system that I expect will work well. The kit I purchased came with a 4 battery Maha MH-C401FS Intelligent Charger and 8 2200mAh AA Powerex rechargeable batteries. The charger has 4 independent circuits (so you can charge 1 to 4 batteries independently of eachother), performs a 100 minute fast charge or a 5 hour standard charge, and utilizes what Maha calls a "next generation FLEX negative pulse algorithm which significantly enhances battery life." They claim 1000 charge liftetime on the batteries, a fuller charge, and no "conditioning" cycles. I haven't even got the batteries cycled up to their full capacity yet (the manuals all say at least 4 or 5 cycles) so I'll report back with more of my experience when I've got them operating at full capacity. Thanks again to those of you who gave suggestions and pointers. It was a big help and I've no doubt that I'm going to be highly satisfied with this system....
I thought I would post a follow-up to my post about my new iBook «. It has now become my main computer at home - usurping my aging Dell laptop - and I use it for everything from just browsing the web to developing my web site and Mozilla Firefox extensions. I was the victim of Apple upgrading the specs on the iBook, although not the only one, with both Dunstan Orchard and Richard Rutter getting caught out this time and Dan Cederholm mentioning this previously. Despite this I'm still extremely happy with my purchase. And so I thought I would list the software that I have installed and recommend if you have Mac OS X: Mozilla Firefox is the first thing I install on any new machine and my iBook was no exception Quicksilver is a fantastic application launcher that is not only slick, but free as well Fire is an open source multi-protocol instant messenger client. I am keeping my eye on the Proteus beta, but for now Fire is my favorite Synergy is a simple controller for iTunes that is well worth the 5€ (Euros) price Cyberduck is an open source FTP client. I have yet to find an FTP client that I really like, but Cyberduck seems to be the best free option SubEthaEdit is a very cool collaborative editor. I have not used the collaborative features yet, but it works well just as a standard editor as well Menu Calendar is a small application that provides instant access to a calendar CronniX is a graphical front-end to the UNIX tool 'cron'
