As part of a conversation here on 10C I discovered that Amazon will now deliver hardware, not just ebooks to Australia. So I bought a SeaGate GoFlex SATA-to-FireWire 800 adaptor. I can use it on my USB 2 Macs for faster backups than are possible with USB 2. I intend using it with a bare HD and the 12-inch G4 PowerBook.
@variablepulserate At Mum's place a few nights ago I had a similar problem & no medication available. So I mixed ½ a teaspoon of bi-carb soda into a can of evaporated milk. A bit weird-tasting & foamy but it did help. Many off-the-shelf medications combine calcium & bi-carb soda to combat reflux. I sipped that mad brew during the night.
@variablepulserate This is the one I acquired from eBay. $39 delivered from China. http://www.amazon.com/Lexar-RW024-001-Professional-Firewire-Stackable/dp/B000C3X83Q/ref=sr13?ie=UTF8&qid=1458065986&sr=8-3&keywords=firewire+cf+card+reader+-usb
@variablepulserate Well, that's interesting. At long last, Amazon ships stuff to Australia. This is rather new.
@bazbt3 I found this beauty of an electric coffee grinder at about ⅓ of the regular price a few years ago. Dead easy to use, consistent in results. So I can grind on a needs basis.

Can't sleep, it's too dangerous. I'm afflicted by gastric reflux and as soon as I lay down it wants to gurgle back up & out. That's both messy & painful. Waiting for the medication to work.
@variablepulserate About 10 years ago I bought a Lexar CF card reader that was less than 1 cm thick, but it stopped working after about 2 years. That would have been small enough to mount on the lid of a laptop but the only one I could get these days is a fat bugger with legs/lugs on it so multiple units can be stacked atop each-other.
Cloned an external FireWire 400 HD to a 32 GB CompactFlash card in a FireWire 400 card reader. Now the stubborn G3 Pismo 500 MHz PowerBook which has a faulty internal HD interface can boot from something reasonably compact. And bus-powered as well. The ext HD needed external power which made things rather more complicated.
Unfortunately, the CF reader is too fat to fit inside under the keyboard, unlike an earlier version by the same manufacturer. But at least it works. it's not a fast CF card, only 50X but it's perfectly fine as the boot drive for an elderly Mac.
Just downloaded & installed TenFourFox 38.7,0 (G3) which is the latest iteration of that modernised browser for PPC Macs. Used the aforementioned combination to make this post.
@variablepulserate Actually, not a problem from "one of those 42 MP Nokias." They marketed them as 41 MP but are really "only" 38 MP. But when sharing, it isn't the big image, it's a 5 MP image derived from the best bits of the big one. At least, that's how I have my Lumia 1020 set up.
