To all old timers in Mac community
If you happen to be relying on OS 9 only apps for your daily work, here’s some good news. There may be some sort of solution to run Mac OS 9 on Intel Mac, here and here.

At least there’s some sort of solution out there for you.
Dell, Sony, Apple’s notebook may brust in flame?!
I’ve read quite a few post about Dell notebook’s spontaneous combustion and a Sony notebook brusted into flame in the last few months.
This week, Apple has joined the gang of buring notebooks and my trusty 12″ PowerBook G4’s battery is one of those. You can check if yours is in the Apple’s support page.
Don’t know if I’m lucky of what. My old battery is about 70% of its fresh capacity. Hopefully the replacement will give me longer battery life.

Bits and pieces
I did it again! Face lift again. This time I move from the fast and slim Blosxom generating static html to WordPress with complete dynamic pages. The only consideration is that my ISP doesn’t support bloxsom yet for too long.
Anyway, I wanna be enable commenting so net buddies can share ideas and not spam hopefully. The reason behide is I’m annoyed to the way I produce a post and sync it back to my server. Although I’ve automated quite some steps but still turns me off to post.
Hopefully, you’ll find more frequent posts from me with my sleeping eyes, hands and brain in late night.
