good news/bad news

tonight i learned that i've been doing everything right, but old lady Danube's model is physically incapable of booting from an external drive or firewire target disk mode. i wish i had found the article that ended with the all-important "note:" a couple days ago. no disaster, just no upgrade. bummer.

Which Mac (http://www.lowendmac.com/profiles.htm) is it? Can't you just replace the internal hard drive?

BTW - thanks for the bookmark! You've guilted me into reading again! (^_^)

This (http://www.macrumors.com/2008/01/03/apple-creating-imac-like-docking-station/) popped up yesterday. I always thought the PowerBook Duo/DuoDock was the coolest thing since sliced bread. I was the first out the gate with the MacBook Pro (2.0 GHz Core Duo) almost 2 years ago. She still has enough power to fend off my desire for a shiny new iMac. I might add a terabyte external drive instead. And I didn't wait for Apple in Canada - I imported an iPhone and hacked it to work with my carrier.
