J C asked:
I have an older iBook, one of the white ones. It’s screen is broken and cracked to a point where only a small portion of the entire screen is visible. The computer works fine otherwise. Now I’ve since purchased a newer computer, a silver powerbook g4. Is there any way to connect/rig the screen of my old computer to my new one without accessing the prefrences of the old one? Or perhaps, does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can personally access/reach my old files? (aside from having the display replaced of course)

You can attach an external monitor to the iBook.
Place the iBook hard drive into an external hard drive enclosure.
If your old iBook has a FireWire port, you can connect a FireWire cable to that computer to your other one. Then press and hold the “T” key on the keyboard of your old computer while it’s starting up. The HD from your old computer should show on the G4. If this is confusing for you, please feel free to email me and I will email you a step-by-step explanation on how to do it. Good luck!
