Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's a G3.

According to these docs, all you need is a VGA cable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, I was thinking G4. This link might help: [link] It says:

The PowerBook G3 Series (M4753) computers have a built-in connector for an external VGA or SVGA monitor. An included adapter allows you to attach a standard Apple video cable.

I'm not sure what a "standard Apple video cable" is. Is this a regular VGA cable?

eta: x-posty. From the Tom who knows more about Macs than me....

Thanks. Now I'll have to go dig through the box to figure out what I do have. Urk.

Or maybe it is an ibook G3. This is why I don't do hardware. I don't pay enough attention.

What color is your computer, sara?


sarameg - Nov 26, 2007 5:36:32 am PST #3556 of 25497

Kind of opalescent white (with the clearish finish on the case.) (I swear, I'm the worst computer customer ever. )

How to identify your iBook.

I was just looking at that, which is what made me revise.

Can you find the internet?

Can you understand how to type in a URL?

Do you know how to cut and paste?

Have you ever spent months complaining long distrance to your sister that your new printer won't work when you had never actually connected it with your computer? Even after said sister asked you over and over if the cables were connected?
