Scored a 14" 2002 iBook G3 800 in the box

Scored a 14" 2002 iBook G3 800 in the box PowerPC 6 posts Jul 23, 2012 — Jul 25, 2012
This one's a beauty. It's in great shape. Only $70 bucks.

The box too looks like new.

It originally had 10.2 on it, but it was hosed. So I gave it a clean install of 10.4.

It's pretty snappy with a slim 256MBs of RAM. I'll have to throw in a 512MB stick to max it out. The battery holds a 3 hour charge.

Another one for the collection!

Nice score, congrats. (you will be running out of space soon :b&w: )

Is your Macintosh TV working now ?

No, sourced a few parts to try out, but haven't been able to get to it.

The Snow G3s aren't bad, though they are not my favourite iBook. I prefer either the fruitBooks or the late G4 iBooks; the G3 snowBooks and early G4 iBooks still had many technical glitches. FruitBooks are tough, reliable and display well, and the last of the G4 iBooks compare reasonably well with the AlBooks and are cheap and fairly reliable.

(Also, I notice you have the iPod and iMac posters as well. I have these same ones in my office.)

Nice score in that condition and with the box. I remember those boxes (and these iBooks) from when they were new or very close to.

We must have had several of those boxes here at work at one stage. They weren't "old" or cool at the time so I chucked out every last one :(

THAT display is one of the coolest things I've ever seen :p I WANT ONE!!!
