There seems to be another option...there are places that sell older models, which use software that works with OS 9.1. I've ordered an upgrade disk for 9.1, and will probably order a slightly older Palm.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I got a new MacBook. The 2.0 Ghz white one.
Bah. The screen is the wrong shape. (Kidding - but it's wider than my 12" iBook.)
You know, a new computer doesn't really feel like mine until I customize everything and install my favorite apps....
Also, the keys feel weird. But I suppose I'll get used to them.

I almost got a 15" MacBook Pro. It's greater size and weight was one of the cons. But the coolest thing about the MacBook Pro? Backlit keys.
Also, computers drive me nuts if I don't have the mouse speed set exactly how I want it.

All is well that ends in pizza.
If Daniel isn't interested,
Daniel is interested, but not enough to overcome his toomanycomputersitis. For now I shall suffer with the G4 400 I was given by my nephew a few weeks ago. Hee.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But the coolest thing about the MacBook Pro? Backlit keys.This is a really fantastic feature. I coveted the last one I saw. Post in dim light! Accurately!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The keys do feel funny to type though! I'm so used to having my laptop keys squished together on both my Dell and my Powerbook laptops that when I went to the Apple store to try out a MacBook I couldn't type at all. It was very strange.

The IBM Thinkpad I use through work has a teeny LED right above the screen that sheds a very gentle light on the keyboard. It's called a ThinkLight!

Doesn't that rule? I love the ThinkLight.
