[rescue] looking for titanium powerbook

[Jim Stefanik]

They are fairly big; but (at least mine is anyways) a 15" wide-screen. I remember paying a fair bit for mine, albeit it was via a place that specializes in vintage Mac's, so YMMV there. eBay does tend to be a bit high though.


And I'll be honest with you - OS9 isnt particularly stable on any hardware; at least for me anyways. My iBook G3, TiBook, as well as my PowerMac G3 and both of my PowerMac G4s all constantly crash under OS 9. Boot them to OS X and they're all rock stable.

I gave a widescreen Ti PowerBook, the screen seems massive, has an RCA phono 
plug-style power connector, and the keyboard keys were semi-translucent (as I 
recall). 

I remember it being huge, but I could be wrong. I'll check tonight.
