          G3 Powerbook Pismo

Personally, I prefer this powerbook to all the iBooks and other Apple Mac Powerbooks available, even today. It's got a certain charm, which coupled with it's abilities, doesn't really seem available in todays markets. Here's a rundown of just what the powerbook Pismo has and what I do on it:

 

    • G3 400mHz processor 100mHz backside bus- faster than the Snow iBook 500mHz, clamshell ibooks and any previous powerbook.Twin USB portsTwin firewire 400 portsWill hold up to 512 megs of ram6 ide gig hard driveDVD rom drivestereo sound out, sound in, type / II card bus slotBuilt in Apple Airport expansion slot to take apple Airport 802.11b card14.1 inch TFT screen
    • Upgradable processor

The Psimo, unlike any of it's predecessors and the original clamshell iBook is capable of running OS 10.4 because of it's built in firewire ports. With it's sufficinetly fast G3 400mHz processor and the addition of 128 megs of ram, and classic (OS 9), this powerbook is a fantaastic unit for just about any classic application you can think of. We'd advise considering this powerbook if you're looking for something to allow portability whilst using heavy duty classic applicatations. Alternatively, if you're just looking for a cost effective solution for running the latest operating system, coupled with word processing, spreadsheets, surfing the web and emails, this powerbook will meet your needs.
