I've got a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (the last machine that couldn't be updated to OS X) that still runs a couple hours off its battery and looks very much like the screenshots shown in this article. I've also got the original boxed game of Myst which is the main reason I kept it.
- ccamrobertson 7y agoI've done far too much research into this lately, but I believe that Wallstreet was officially supported by OS X (although only up to 10.2). The PowerBook G3 Kanga, however, cannot without some hacking; it's a frankenstein model which was only available for about four months. It shoehorned a super fast (at the time) 250mhz G3 CPU into the old 3400c form factor and looks like it's from another era in comparison to the sleek Wallstreet.
- smoyer 7y agoI'll have to get it out (might end up wasting some time on Myst tonight!) ... I'm remembering that some Wallstreets had Ethernet ports and others didn't and that those without couldn't be updated. Of course, that machine wasn't terribly speedy with OS 9 on it so I'm not sure it's worth the upgrade. Still, it was an amazing piece of hardware which still runs almost 25 years later.
