    I recently bought a G4 iBook (specs on sig). When I bought it, it had stickers and was kind of yellowish not really white. Now that I removed the stickers and cleaned up the thing, it looks a lot better. I feel it's worth more than I paid for :) The keyboard is really filthy but everything else is fine. I just bought a new keyboard and am expecting it in a few days.

    What do you guys think?

    Sounds good! I hope you enjoy it. I'm considering getting an old Dell 300m/X300 or other notebook for a few hundred.

    Good deal, virtual PC is probably pretty much unusable though, right?

    Why would you say that? The processor may be a little slow by today's comparisons, but people forget just how slow of a processor XP can run on (it will run on a PIII at least). And he's got plenty of memory there.

    Very good deal. I'd give 300 bucks for that in a heartbeat. Check ebay, you'll see lesser spec'd machines going for much more than that.
