Re: New laptop possibility
I've never really used OS 9 since I switched in 2001 back when 10.1 was just released. My first Mac was a G4 867 tower and it booted into OS 9 but I wanted to see what OS X was all about to I restarted it and never went back. All of the software that I've purchased has been for OS X. My desktop is a 20 inch G5 iMacI think I told you and I only use OS X on itnever run classic and don't have classic installed on either. When I bought the iBook, I knew that 256 wasn't enough, so I bought an additional 512it was a bit of a challenge installing it as you need a 'tiny' screwdriver to do ithad to go out and buy one. But once I got it, it was easy. Yes, I knew that there was an OS 9 (classic) install on the other disk. My other OS 9 installation disks are for G4's and say so on the disk. So, I don't think you could use them to install on anything else. Since switching from PC, I have become a true Mac Addict! Take care, Tim On 3/13/05 7:22 PM, diane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tim!

Re: New laptop possibility
Hi Diane: I have the same iBook as you. I find that I use it more than my main desktop.G5 iMac 1.8 gig.reason is it's so comfortable to use (reclining on the sofa with the news playing on the TV right now). I also treated myself to the $99 Shuffle and I LOVE it! So easy to use and a joy to listen to.Apple is the 'bomb'! Anyway, the reason for my response, I have a few OS 9 install CD's sitting around from old G4 purchases, if you need one, I'd be more than willing to send one to you. Let me know...no cost involved!

Re: new laptop possibility
I'll have to dig around at my local Microcenter a bit- $617 is less than it would cost to fix my lemon Pismo and upgrade it to match the iBook's specs.

New laptop possibility
My SO is trying to convince me to buy a *book for my bday. (he's a great guy). I do all the bills so of course I am money conscious. I have a dual 1.42 desktop so I am not looking to replace that, but I would be replacing my Yikes! and 6500 with it. So power is not really an issue. Current ibooks are $999. Our local Apple store has some of the 1.0ghz ibooks for $799. I *believe* he said the older ones were 256mb/30gb which is the same as the current ones. Combo drives. I didn't ask about airport, oh, and iLife. I suppose those two features alone would be worth the extra $200 I was really hoping to find a 14 but I suppose in a pinch this would do, I would still do heavy editing on the 21 monitors attached to the tower. I can't seem to find the specs on the older ones on the Apple site, any opinons on the price difference and airport/iLife? Thanks! :) Diane -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

That's a good deal. Chris -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
