This one came to me as a parts machine, and at a price worth a small risk, but in fact the problem was a flaky power adapter. Booted right up from a good one.
It has 2GB RAM and is in superb shape for a laptop its age. It will go to a family member needing a portable machine for ordinary duties — once the new battery/ adapter arrive, the old ones being toast.
I am reminded on getting hold of it of the manifold reasons I bought a 12" G4 PowerBook (still used daily) instead of the 15" model back in early 2006 (refurbished from Apple online): Talk of a '15" portable' is oxymoronic; 'luggable' would be the better word. Like the 15" MacBook Pro, it's just too bloody big for me, and I am 6' tall and about 220lbs.
Does anyone actually like a laptop this size? It's a mystery to me why they sell.
