Probably partly because RTF never has been a standard set in stone. At
one point Microsoft's definition of it was "Whatever format Word
produces when you save as RTF". This is one of the reasons many are wary
of using it as an archival format, preferring open standards like XML or
similar.

Hi Dan,

Well, it easier than you think. Found a home page that maps it all
out, in case you're wondering:

I'd still give it a go. Just remember that parts are stronger than you
think they are, and be methodical about taking things apart so you can
just reverse yourself to get it back together.

FWIW.

Cheers,
Carl

Carl:

Very informative.

I went to their powerbook link:

http://members.aol.com/dnmonk/powerbooks/index.html

....and it looks like there's lots of useful links there for powerbook
users. Thanks for the lead.

I looked up my wall street:

http://members.aol.com/dnmonk/powerbooks/g3instructions.html

....and the procedure looks like a bear. It's a major disassembly. I
wonder why the designers would put a battery that needs to be replaced
in such an inaccessible place? There should be a couple of screws on
the back of the case to remove a cover and the battery should pop out.

But, then, I didn't understand why the engineers who designed the
engine in the Suburban routed the spark plug wires between the block
and the exhaust manifold.

I think a lot of American manufacturers figure a) that they can sell
anything, b) they can afford to hire someone to do the dirty work and
the longer it takes the more money their service department makes, and
c) in the case of the powerbook maybe people will go out and by a new
computer in a few years when the battery fails rather than throwing
money at a fully depreciated unit.

I feel like I'm in the latter category. If I wanted to screw around
with the guts, then I'd have a peecee and get my friend's kid to
maintain it for me. I guess I should count my blessings that Macs are
fairly much trouble free and last a long time. I'm thankful, too, that
I was able to remove the HD, screw it into a carrier, plug it into a
firewire port, then run everything in Classic.

Regarding:

....is the "card, power supply" the pmu referred to in earlier posts?
