Yeah I heard baaaad things about the port on SC4, almost as bad as the things I heard about the port on SC3 ;) I reckon the Sims2 will be a resource DOG and not to be played on a G3... I was thinking something more lowkey though, Zoo Tycoon might be it!

Since upgrading to OSX and dumping Classic I can't play SimCity 3 or Tropico, and am tired of The Sims after 2 solid years of relentlessly abusing it (and them ;) ) and Ijust read about Ninja Bee's Outpost Kaloki but it's only for PCs at the moment. :( Though they do say it's coming soon to...

Hi, It's been asked before elsewhere but there was little response. I've not upgraded to Tiger yet but wondered if anyone had seen a screensaver app for Panther (10.3.9) that runs via RSS feeds the same way as the Safari Tiger one does? I know it's a bit farfetched but you never know...

Hmmm, terminal... Will I need to start learning a whole new bunch of code (only just got my head round the absolute basics of CSS! ;) Owen

It's more that sitting side by side, the Powerbook struggles to get a full signal while the iBook get's full. Go next door and the Powerbook get's NOTHING and all internet applications show an error message, while the iBook is at full. Used MacStumbler and the iBook is operating at 80-90...

Okay will give that a try... It was at the very bottom of that list so I've moved it to the top but no instant leap in bars on her reception indicator. How does that work, then? Surely being at the bottom of a list doesn't prioritise reception, especially when the airport is the only receiver...

Thanks folks! Used Cocktail to delete the DS files and I'm back to normal now! Now then, can anyone help me with the problem I'm also experiencing here: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=229661 It's most perplexing. Where I'm sitting right now, my iBook has full reception, but...

Okay - what is repairing permissions? How do I do it, what does it do? And what is Cocktail, what are DS_Store files, and what does deleting them achieve? Cheers folks! Owen

Hi all, I need a backup program that will: 1 - backup my iBook to a partition on my Lacie 160gig, that will work as a bootable drive. I don't mind if it deletes everything and starts over the first time but I'd prefer not to have to go through that wait EVERYtime subsequently. 2 - (and...

Okay will do - do I have to make an appointment at their Genius Bar thingummy? It's always full... Or do they have a Service area? Owen

Cheers again mate, but to no avail. I deleted said prefs file, logged out, logged back in, immediately went to the Finder preferences and clicked the box, opened up the hard drive window and LO! Icon view again. Selected column view, closed the window, reopened it, and it was still column...

Cheers mate, but here's the thing: I just checked that, and it was already selected! I know how to clean up icons etc, but this is why I'm so confused as to why everytime the computer has loaded up lately, the main harddrive window has opened with icons, scattered around. Has something...

Hi all, Possibly a silly question but it's got me stumped. Whenever I restart or turn on afresh my iBook (600mhz, 640ram, G3, OS 10.3.9) and double click on the hard drive, it opens in Icon view by default, and they're all scattered around, not in any order. It never used to do this. It...

Hey everyone... Anyone got any thoughts on it at all? Would be grateful! Cheers... Owen

Sorry to bump this up but it seemed more sense than starting a new thread. Still having the same problem with the Powerbook. Any suggestions, gurus! :)

Spoke to another mac expert at work and he agreed it wouldn't work, but I think the price factor is simply because G3 iBook batteries are quite old equipment now. It was the same with the Airport card for the G3 iBook, cost me £80 because it had to be sourced as a 'service part'.

Hi, I desperately need a new battery for my G3 iBook but I notice that official G3 batteries cost about £200 from Apple Resellers who supply it as a service part. On the Apple website they are selling batteries for dual USB 12.1" iBooks for £88.99 but when I called them they told me not...

I have the exact same problem - my iBook G3 600 MHz with regular Airport connects perfectly well to our new DG834G Netgear router wirelessly, but my girlfriend's brand spanking new 15" Powerbook running 10.3.9 and Airport Extreme is running very slowly, dropping bars down to 1 at times, but...

Hi all, A few months ago I dropped my G3 600mhz iBook about 2 feet onto it's side while the screen was open - astonishingly very little damage was done - it still works perfectly well, but something has happened to the screen trim around the bottom - it's come away from the screen itself. The...
