@sumudu For one thing, I get regular notification of updates.

@jws The 12-inchers missed out on some features the 15s & 17s used: 10/100/1000 Ethernet; FireWire 800; CardBus expansion slot; full-sized DVI & S-video outputs & the bigger units had two RAM slots vs one & soldered RAM for the 12-in. This latter is surprising because the last of the 12-inch iBooks, with a 1.33 GHz processor has 512 MB of soldered RAM vs 256 for the PowerBook.

@larand I’m using the Mac App Store variant, LibreOffice Vanilla. Currently using 1.52 GB of space.

Well, if I’m to be fasting between midnight & 8 am for specific bloodtests, I’d better grab some dinner, it’s after 10:30 pm.
@jws A friend at the Mac User Group asked me if I could take a 12-in G4 PowerBook off his hands (free!) as the customer he’d acquired it for no longer wanted it. I accepted immediately! It’s specs are: 1.5 GHz G4; 80 GB HDD; 1.25 GHz RAM (256 MB soldered & 1 GB stick in the sole slot) & a SuperDrive to handle DVD/CD burning jobs.

@streakmachine It’s processor is too fast to allow it to boot into OS 9 but it will work OK in the Classic environment. You could/should consider going up to Leopard (10.5.8) with it.

@gtwilson Not only that but it will open ClarisWorks (.cwk) documents.

Doc thinks, bearing in mind my past medical history, that I’m anaemic. Blood test taken today & more (after fasting ) tomorrow.
But wait, there’s more!
Hyper-extension Strain Injury (they used to call it whiplash) to the neck has become increasingly evident today and it's really very sore indeed. I made another medical appointment to have that treated.
I was probably unconscious for as much as 5 to 10 minutes, going by the temperature of my lunch by the time I was up and mobile again.
I was preparing a late hot lunch when I came over all dizzy. I headed for the sofa in the lounge room and saw off the worst of it seated there.
Or so I thought. I woke up lying on my back and perspiring heavily on the hard lounge room floor about 3 metres from the sofa. I recall struggling to stand up from the sofa and walking towards the kitchen. Obviously I never made it.
Lunch wasn’t hot but wasn’t cold either when I managed to get mobile again.
Feeling quite lethargic and with a slight headache from when I’d hit the hard floor. I found my glasses on the lounge room floor later. Making a booking with the doctor for tomorrow.
