Thanks to eBay, I'm now the very proud owner of a tangerine clamshell iBook. It came with all of its original packaging and install CDs so I had my own exciting little unboxing.
I already swapped out the original 3.2GB hard disk for a 20GB. It has 288MB of RAM. I'd love to add a 512MB DIMM for it but the cost is a bit prohibitive.
Since the 20GB drive was previously in my dual USB iBook, I didn't have to do the format/install from scratch game. I'm booting between OS 9 and Tiger but I'm debating going back down to Panther. The only downside of that is that .Mac/MobileMe support is non-existent on pre-Tiger systems so I'll lose my calendar/contact/Safari bookmark syncing. I suppose there's always the web interface but I like integration too much.
I always wanted one of them and now I have it. |)
