well, I haven't officially decided to let this thing go yet. But, it seems to be for the best. I bought an iBook from a forum member a couple of months ago, fixed it's flaws and since haven't had much use for it. It's the White G3 500 Dual USB model, with a 12" screen. it's similar to this one:

and i'll try to remember all the details I can:
500 mhz, 384 mb ram, 10gb hd, dvd drive, airport(802.11b) and well.....I think it's OS X(v10.2).....I know it's OSX but i'm not totally sure which version. I have the boxes for:
iBook
Airport
New AC adapter(the real deal, not 3rd party LOL )
and that should be about it. All I have really used it for is a little web surfing and I've watched Finding Nemo on it more times than I can count because it fits just about anywhere....especially right next to the monitor for my desktop. Again, this is the 12" model which is quite smaller than some people think....smallest laptop in recent years I would say. But it seems very handy and very versatile. The only reason I am even thinking of parting with it is because I'm not a big Mac person....It all runs smooth and it's a really solid OS.....I just can't break myself in. I'll probably be sad to see it go, if only I could get an IBM based laptop built that well and that sleek....... :(
One final note, I bought this from a board member and I did fix it. I HAVE OPENED THE CASE ON THIS, so it shows a couple scuffs near the edges where the layers of the case meet. But I haven't had a lick of trouble with it since then, so no worries. But just incase somebody needs to know everything, now they do. And another little bit of info, the part I replaced was the power in board as it had connection problems. I hope things are staked out clear enough here. If somebody is interested please holler, I'm not pushing to get rid of it but it's about the only good answer I can come up with. If I get ancy soon, I will throw it on ebay and provide a link. Thanks for looking!!
