To bad that there are people like that around..... but as you said, maybe better to find out now then later.Hi all,
I am looking around again, as I lost the other one. I got a bit p*****, as the seller had said it would go to the first, and I was the first and had committed to buy, then he suddenly went on and sold it to another, mailing me afterwards to tell me... That is not how I do business... Oh well, maybe he wasn't the right one to buy from...
Bluetooth is nice, real nice.... I bought a powerBook that came with bluetooth and I have a bluetooth keyboard (Apple), at the same time I bought a single button Apple bluetooth mouse but have since bought a McAlly two button with the scroll wheel. Love being completely wireless. Bluetooth is a short range wireless network up to around 30' or so. Lots of thing these days are bluetooth and you can use it to connect pda's or phones with bluetooth so again, no wires or dock or anything, just move within range and it connects. Airport is what Apple calls their wireless card and in this case it is a seperate base station. No need to string cable all over the house any more, unlike the old days :-)
I am looking at some other ones now, and have also sent some mails to some I know of that might have something, and mailed the Apple store asking if they have a demo model or something like that. I mean, getting a new one isn't that much more expensive than a used one, they have more Mhz, but less RAM than most and less HD than many... But, new is new... Warranty and all...
One I have been looking at, is more expensive than the other one, an amount equivalent to what you pay for a used Airport Ex. Base here, and it has that one included...
ibook g4 12" , 800 mhz, 256 MB ram, 60 GB HDD, OS X 10.3.7, 2x USB 2, 1X Firewire, wifi og bluetooth built in, Airport Express base, TV-out cable, Original Apple bluetooth mouse (white)
Doesn't say how old it is...
I understand that I am not that used to many of the terms used anymore (and some are new too), I have no clue what wifi means (has to be something about wireless, I guess, but...). Can somebody explain?
Yes the HD will seem enormous at first but like everything you will over time fill it up. My 80gig currently has around 24gig of music which is a pretty good chunk of it and I never thought I would fill it at first either. Definatly have to add more ram
As far as I can see, the downside with it is the RAM, I was hoping for a bit of luxury on that side, but hopefully it wouldn't cost too much to buy some extra RAM, maybe eBay would be an idea? The HDD is perfect for me (used to 6 GB!!!! It has 200 Mhz less speed though, the question is how much of a difference that makes...
Depending on difference I would go new if possible. I have seen to many posts on the forum about people having problems and saying that they will just dump it on ebay...... At least with new you have warranty for up to 3 years...
What do you guys think? Is this as interesting as the other iBook, you think? I should really calculate a bit though, because it is not that much less than a new one from the cheapest stores here, and then I wouldn't have any costs on getting it here... But then again, a new one would be with less RAM and HDD, but a faster processor... Maybe I can live with only 30 GB, I do have a unused 80GB external one sitting here, that the Pismo for some reason wouldn't communicate with... Maybe I would have better luck with sys X...
In aNY CASE GOOD LUCK
