In late 2003, the hard drive started to flake out. There is a built in 4GB hard drive, which for about 3 years ran well on the Powerbook. For plain text processing this book packs BBEdit Lite 4.1 and Apple’s SimpleText prorgram. On the word processing side, Clarisworks 4.0, WriteNow 4.0 and Microsoft Word 5.1 are the word processors of choice. It ran Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x, Eudora 5.1, Nifty Telnet and Telefinder 5.7 for a variety of internet tasks. The Powerbook is spunkier with a less demanding operating system which is great for what this laptop was originally used for - internet browsing, email and word processing whenever I was away from home. I downgraded the OS by totally erasing the hard drive and doing a clean install of OS 8.5. The Powerbook originally came with OS 9.1, which I found to be a little sluggish. The Powerbook 3400 was pressed it into service shortly after my last 680×0 Mac, a Centris 650 was decommissioned. It was the first laptop I ever owned until I got a used Macintosh iBook G3 700.
I bought this Powerbook 3400 laptop computer from someone off the Low End Mac Buy and Sell Mailing List. So far this has not happened to my Powerbook 3400c. A laptop is a computer waiting to fall or be stolen.
