Now my mate works @ a company.. who happen 2 win a brand new iBook ... (Long Story!)

And Yet... They Don't Need.. and Never will it seems...
ANY Mac...

Now... i know the Memory on it is MEGA Low... However... i assume it ain't too hard 2 upgrade!

Now... they Agreed... 2 Lend me the iBook... Lemmie Have a Play... See what i think...

And Supposedly, they would sell... (Literally Brand New) 4 £500!
Now u guys Mos Def know the Price's of things like this...
i am "quite" (Don't Quote me! lol) sure
it's a G3 500MHz (does that Sound Right?! )
i think it's either 64 or 128Mb RAM ....
It's Deffo Running OS X... i have Seen it...

Hmmm... Besides that... i know Very little!
but i imagined this kinda machine, would be good... 2 learn on... and decide whether Mac is for me....

Now,as far as system spec goes... i gave ya little... but does £500 Seem Steep?! or is that reasonable!?
Can Some1 Fill me in, on how easy it is, 2 upgrade Memory...And how Cheap or NOT (heaven Forbid) it is?!

Cheers Guys...

is that the English Pounds symbol? i don't know what that damned symbol is!

if so...

500.00 British pounds sterling or $721.50 US dollars
current iBook with those specs is $1,199.00 US dollars or 830.91 British pounds sterling

so yes, i would say that is a good deal!

yes... pack that iBook with as much memory as you can! the more, the better in EVERY app...

Considering the performance: You will be surprised what the G3 is able to do! It's a damn good processor, and I am always impressed when I am working on G3s. I just got an old beige G3 which I am using for a server and it works great! I have a blue iBook, the 366 Mhz version, and it works great, allthough I am replacing it with the 14'' version as soon as it arrives. The G3 is such a great processor for it's price, even the mobile version (actually, the Wallstreet PB and the early iMac share the same motherboard ). Please tell us what you think once you used the iBook for a while.

Allthough this is a Mac OS X forum, I'd like to give you an advice: I don't exactly know what you do with your PC or with the iBook, but if you are "working" on it, and you have to work with apps like Flash or Photoshop, boot back to OS 9. Everything else will give you a wrong impression of the real power of OS X and of a Mac.
