    Looking for a copy of Mac OS X Server 1.0

    Hello guys. I have a PowerBook 3400c with 200MHz, 144MB Ram & 4 GB of CF storage. I read somewhere that this machine can run the very first server edition of Mac OS X. Does anyone have a copy you might want to sell? I don't need a retail box (though if you still have it, will be nice).

I don't think I want to go with the 1.67GHz, as those are a little pricey when compared to other PPC laptops. What do you recommend for a low-cost, fast...

    12" PowerBook G4 Score!

    Got this little gem today at a Savers thrift store for $9.99. I had no idea if it worked, and it unfortunately came without a power supply, but I just couldn't pass it up. After correcting a bend in the case by the power port, I plugged it in and it booted up. Turns out it's a 2005 1.5 GHz with...
