No it isn't. Just a little slower.

Glad to oblige. Just buy an OS 10.3 CD set (or wait for 10.4) and install
it. I believe that it will offer to Upgrade and can get your personal user
info from OS 9.2.2. If not, you'll just have to enter a bit of personal info
and internet settings upon completion.

No, it looks as if you don't.


>From the Apple Website, Upgrading to OS 10.3:

System Requirements:

1.

Confirm that your hardware can run Mac OS X Version 10.3 Panther
Mac OS X Version 10.3 requires a Macintosh with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5
processor, built-in USB; at least 128MB of physical RAM and a built-in
display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by
your computer. Mac OS X does not support processor upgrade cards. Verify
your hardware is supported from the list below.

2.

Verify you have enough hard drive space.
While the amount of disk space required depends on your computer and the way
you are installing Mac OS X, you are recommended to have at least 2.0 GB of
available space on your hard drive, or 3.5GB of disk space if you install
developer tools.


Does the Wall Street G3 have built-in USB? I just checked
<http://www.apple-history.com/>.

Apparently not - the first USB PB was the Lombard in 1999. You have a 1998
model. Sorry - too bad.


I'm not sure how you got an odd number of RAM MB either. Maybe you mean 320?
256 + 64 = 320. Actually, the maximum RAM on a Lombard is 192 MB RAM, which
is way too little for OS X. Maybe you don't have a Wall Street? Do you have
a bronze keyboard? If you have a Lombard or Pismo, which both can take up to
512 MB RAM and have USB slots, you'd be OK. Which PB do you really have? Do
have have some sort of 3rd-party upgrade card which gave you more RAM? If
it's a Wall Street, you still can't install 10.3. I can't recall if 10.2 had
a lesser hardware requirement - perhaps so - but I really wouldn't take this
route. I'd wait until you can get a newer iBook or PowerBook, and then
install 10.3 or 10.4. There are refurbished computers on Apple's own site,
not to mention eBay and other locations.
