Ooo, not bad with 48 megs of RAM

Seems like a good price too if the battery holds a decent charge. Have fun with it.

OMG, what a nice price you got it for too.

Lucky I didn't see this auction.

Yeah I figured i needed a pre-G4 PPC laptop. This thing should fly with 7.6.1!

Very nice. Is that the version with the active matrix screen?

#8 Mon, 5 May 2008 - 08:54 68kMLA

Yes it is.

Nice screen it is too - just as bright and clear as modern notebook displays (obviously they have a much better resolution though!). I've made a pact to not pay anything for a portable Mac with a passive display

They're simply horrible.

Got it today = pretty nice screen but it could use a CF HD
