Found it at the pawn shop. It had a bad HD so I put a new one in and cleaned it up. Too bad I don't have any PPC installs of OSX...

Got it for $280 - not bad if oyu ask me, but not the best deal ever.

For now you could install Ubuntu, xubuntu sings on my iMac G3 350. Good conquest!

Took a while but I have YDL 5 running on it... seems pretty good - I'm going to work on getting a leopard install. I'm thinking I'll replace my gateway laptop for this...

depending on what else is in it its not the worst deal out there either

got leopard running on it today - seems snappy enough...

It's 1.07ghz, has an airport extreme card in it, a combo drive, and has 768MB of RAM

Nice little laptop you got there.

I've always like the white iBooks.

The toilet seat one's are nice also, but for their looks. I can understand a portable iMac, but the round shape is off IMO.
