    The scarcity of Titanium PowerBook G4's

    Finding a second hand PowerBook G4 Titanium that someone is not trying to make a fortune out of is proving elusive. I would like to get one just to complete my collection of vintage OS X installs. Currently have two Ti's with 10.1 and 10.2, but would like to have one just for 10.0. I noticed all...

    TiBook G4 fans never turn off!

    Booted up my TiBook 1.0 today after a longer pause of not beeing used and I noticed, that the fans don't ever stop to work. And even worse: "G4FanControl" and "HardwareMonitor" don't display any temperature-sensors at all. Then I found a note on the website of the developer of...

    Leopard and PowerBook wireless cards

    I've been trying to use PPC for work as much as I can recently, just to see what I can do with the platform other than having the computers around as a novelty. I've been using my 1ghz TiBook for the last couple of days, and because the internal airport doesn't support WPA2, I've been using a...
