iBook is Here

Thanks to everybody who wrote in on the Mac thing. I ended up buying a used 12″ iBook G4 tonight off of craigslist (well, actually I drove to Fullerton and bought it in a parking lot). It’s the 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB hard drive, combo drive, Airport Extreme, Radeon 9550 model. It looks like it’s in fairly good condition - no dead pixels or anything like that.

I haven’t done anything with it so far. Right now, I’m trying to re-install OS X, which apparently takes over an hour, so there really isn’t a verdict yet on the machine. Although - at least hardware-wise - it looks a hell of a lot nicer than my Dell 700m.

No comments yet. Be the first.
