Buying a Powerbook
« on: June 07, 2014, 07:22:26 PM »
I'm going to pick up a Powerbook G4. It's looking like most of the ones on Ebay need new batteries, ram, and HDs as well. I'd like to get an SSD for it but I'm unsure if there's a device manufactured to fit an SSD inside a powerbook.

Is there anything I should look out for? I wonder if DH has some spare parts laying around...

If it says "For Parts or Not Working" I wouldn't buy it, this means it does not work right. Also if there is not a picture of it on, I wouldn't buy it, the picture of it on would prove it works.
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
