I see, yes, my friend is using a 9600 I believe, but he got a G4 upgrade.

No, most of them got CPU upgrades and run Windows 2000 or bought a 
new motherboard for about $200-$300.

Actually a lot of my friends simply took their towers down to the 
local store and the guys there stuck in new motherboards or CPUs at 
really low cost.

I did it once myself, pretty easy.

I like my Mac, but I know I am getting a slower machine that has very 
low resale value and I am pretty peeved at Apple for their terrible 
SCSI support and sound support on my Wallstreet.

And I still think the TiBook is a very weakly made machine with hard 
corners that hurt your wrists and require you to take off your 
watch!!!! :-)
