after surviving 5 years of constant usage, 4 years of college classes, various travels (including across the pond to England), and a few falls, my trusty PowerBook G4 (500 Mhz) has finally succumbed to all of the use and abuse. The infamous “Spinning Beach Ball” appeared and froze completely. It managed to reboot to the point of claiming a “DMA Failure” (Direct Memory Access). Replacing the hard drive cable (suggested on the MacNN forum) was not able to revive it. Tomorrow a new MacBook will head my way… More details on the MacBook in the near future.
