Picked this one up on LEMswap a few days ago.

It's a 166MHz 603(e?) processor, 40 MB built-in RAM, stock 1 GB hard drive, OS 8, floppy drive.

I did replace the stock hard drive, which was showing signs of failure (clicking noises), with an Apple-ROMed 40 GB iBook G4 drive. Loaded OS 8.6 on it (had to stick it in my G3; no CD-ROM drive) and popped in my Lucent WaveLAN card. No problems at all.

I plan on using it for word processing, as well as email and web browsing. I was strongly considering using it as my main machine, but I'm not positive yet. Web browsing is tolerable with IE 5.1, but it's certainly not ideal, and slow too.

Anyways, here's pics (POS digital camera):
