Ooo, not bad with 48 megs of RAM 😀

Seems like a good price too if the battery holds a decent charge. Have fun with it.

OMG, what a nice price you got it for too.

Lucky I didn't see this auction.

Yeah I figured i needed a pre-G4 PPC laptop. This thing should fly with 7.6.1!

Very nice. Is that the version with the active matrix screen?

Posted by: Temetka on 2008-05-05 00:54:16
Yes it is.

Nice screen it is too - just as bright and clear as modern notebook displays (obviously they have a much better resolution though!). I've made a pact to not pay anything for a portable Mac with a passive display 🙂 They're simply horrible.
