Got an open box/lightly used iBook G3 900MHz over the weekend. Description stated was bought new but was hardly used. Battery was listed as not working but after leaving it plugged in for 3 days it finally started charging (~5 hours of life/almost a brand new battery!) All discs included, even the blank!

Forgot how much of a b***h it is to swap the hard drive and repaste these. I slapped a 128GB mSATA to IDE drive in it. Swapped the Extras.rsrc from Tiger in since I'm not a fan of pinstripes (sacrilege I know). Makes for a great 10.2/OS 9 machine.

Update: just got around to setting up a netboot server on one of my other macs. I booted into a 10.4 install and ran system profiler. I am in utter disbelief. cycle count 3. THREE.
