Hi there,
just wondering if anyone else is still using their G3 Pismo or Lombard Powerbook. I just love this machine! it has never let me down, never needed a repair... only thing is that the battery only lasts about 10 minutes right now, oh well.
I believe these machines are great! Strong and sturdy. I even run Adobe CS2 on it. Yes, CS2 runs very slow, but it works!
So other people here share the same enthousiasm about the Pismo 20Gig/500mhz ?
however, i'm upgrading to a powerbook 12" probably next week (No, won't buy the MBP... yet) as this machine is getting a bit too slow... But i'll keep on using it untill it dies, but that might be a while...

my backup computer (when my pbg4 breaks - which is quite frequent) is a Pismo G3 400mhz. Workhorse, absolute workhorse. Never has broken, still fast considering the difference in processor speed. Great keyboard and the computer can take a beating unlike the AL pbs. One day I might consider putting a G4 in it and upgrading the HD to 7200rpm.

My PISMO was a great PowerBook and so is my 1GHz Ti PB. I have never had any issues with the PowerBook.
