I've Done A Crazy Thing-I Bought A Clamshell iBook

[2112st]

The specs? 466 mhz, 320 megs of RAM, 10 gig HD & DVD drive. It comes with software.

It should arrive Saturday. It will be more of a toy than anything, but I will be doing writing on it.

Aside from the coolness factor, I could never afford one new.

No more insane spending, though. FTS.

I used to drool over the selection of clamshells in my local Sears when they were new, but couldn't afford one. The coolest computers around.

I finally bought one a few years ago - a graphite 366 (I wish I'd have picked a Tangerine though!) - and it's a delight to use for distraction free typing. I did revert it to MacOS 9 from 10.4 though, and haven't regretted that at all.

It has all the usual micro cracks and typical scuffing, not to mention the missing leaf of course, but I was using it just a couple of days ago for a project.

Nothing crazy about buying one.... but they aren't much fun to repair!

Yoda-here’s the pic of it off the net. I’ll post more pics when I get it. And yeah; I’m aware that this was a risky purchase.
