USB 2.0 for my old G4 Powerbook laptop (Titanium – black keyboard)
I have a 667 MHz PowerPC G4 – purchased in 2002 – which I don’t use often enough to warrant getting a new one. For what I need on the road – it works fine! Like the love and lore of an aging truck (yes I have one of those, too) I have been compelled to just tinker with the unit I have and put my money elsewhere (like into food). For this laptop I have done the obvious – upgraded the RAM to 1 GB – I believe that is the max amount. When it failed I replaced the original 30 GB hard drive with a 120 GB hard drive, and so on.
PCMCIA card
OK, the USB 2.0: I purchased a 2-Port USB 2.0 PCMCIA Cardbus PC Card from Amazon.com.
I put it into the slot. I connected the cable that goes from the middle of the card to one of the 1.x USB slots in the back – to supply POWER. Good as gold – right as rain. Done.
These are a few of my favorite things
Raindrops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens … plus related software and hardware. This is a Mac list – not Windows …
I consider these items must have / must use:
- Time Machine – software included with Leopard+ for backing up files.
- Backblaze – on line backup service (if you have decent internet connection speed)
- 1Password – password management software
Some new prospects:
- Dropbox – file synchronization service

There are companies out there, including Domain Registry of America, who send things which look like “invoices” to the owners domain names who are NOT registered with them – in an attempt to coax people to transfer to their service.
If you are registered with CrestoneRegister.com, you can simply shred this duplicitous “invoice” from Domain Registry of America or other similar companies. Invoices should come from Crestone Creations only.

Paypal for most of us
There are ways to spend money monthly with a Paypal account, but most of you don’t need to. Most of my clients will be just fine using “Website Payments Standard” and NOT the $30/month PRO version.
With Standard you can
- Send Invoices
- Receive payments
- Have a shopping cart
- Etc.
So instead of $30/month PLUS the transaction fee you have a FREE account with ONLY the transaction fee of 1.9% – 2.9% + $0.30 USD (as of November 2009). Check out the different accounts here for yourself: paypal.com–profile-comparison
Crestone Creations is happy to act as your representative and get your PayPal account going, or you can set it up on your own and we’ll just go in once it’s set up to create the code needed for your web site buttons & other professional customizations (like your logo on the checkout page, etc.). (you can change your password once we’re done).
