In a fit of geeky frenzy, I managed to extend the useful life of my six-year-old PowerBook G3 Wallstreet 233 MHz laptop by several years this weekend by swapping out the 2 GB hard drive for a brand-spankin'-new 40 GB drive (the old drive went into a FireWire/USB enclosure so I can use it, for, well, anything other than gathering dust), adding another 128 MB RAM, and upgrading from Mac OS 9.2.2 (which itself was the fourth or so upgrade) to Mac OS X v10.2.8. Those supposedly in the know say that this machine is woefully underpowered to run OS X, but it seems to work fine to me -- better graphics, cool programs, and not having to buy a new computer all while maintaining my nerd street credibility. What more could I ask for?
