First off, this is a repost (and edit) of a previous post. I wanted to sell to get a new MacBook Pro, but I found this computer covered all of the bases that I needed for mobile computing. I see these crazy sales and I have to get rid of my desktops, so I'd like to buy one now.
I apologize to anyone that replied off-list and didn't receive a response. *If you've previously inquired and are still interested, please email me again.* I have a wonderful Indigo Clamshell iBook (Paris - Firewire/366MHz) with a high resolution screen from a later generation iBook. http://www.wideopenwest.com/~mrogers6398/Photos.html Specs: 1024x768 12" Screen (up from 800x600 stock) 40GB Samsung Hard Drive (up from 10 stock) Combo Drive (up from CD ROM) 320MB RAM (up from 128 stock) Airport Card Running 10.4.11 very well Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, USB 1.1, Firewire and Audio/Video Out ports Super Bright Blue Power-LEDs (stock - very dim puke green) Glowing Apple (stock Apple doesn't glow) I have owned this iBook for just over a year now. It has worked marvelously as a web surfer, homework machine and portable picture viewer. It's previous life was spent on a desk in a local school district teacher's hands. It is and was well taken care of in a smoke free environment. I performed all of the upgrades together, so the treacherous disassembly and reassembly was only performed once. The new MacBooks have caught my eye, so I'd like to pass this on to a new home. Details: The LCD was taken from a graphics-failed snow iBook and installed to up-res the screen. It boots in 800x600 with apple appearing in the upper left hand corner, but assumes 1024x768 at OS X start up. The notebook supports up to 576MB RAM. 64MB being soldered on, and a low density 512MB stick installed. Currently it has a 256MB stick which works wonderfully. The price of this RAM has dropped, so it should be easy for anyone to install a bit more if you feel necessary. When the LCD is lit, the Apple on the top case glows. It came stock with a piece of foil-tape over the opening. I removed it while doing the transplant. I couldn't stand the ugly green glow of the Sleep LED, so I changed them both to super bright blue. Both inner and outer LEDs light when sleeping. I disconnected all of the DC In Board's LEDs. I personally like it without light because when working at night, the DC In charging lights were distracting. You can still see if it's charging when booted by the power icon in the menu bar. The battery lasts approximately ten minutes in my experience. When asleep after a full charge, it will last days. There are replacements with new cells selling for as little as $50 and this would've been my next upgrade. The Optical Drive must be helped by pulling out on the door when ejected because a spring flew out one day and I have not found it such an inconvenience to fix it. It's a standard notebook optical drive and could easily be replaced. I am asking $160 shipped. Thank you for taking the time to read the post and please reply off- list with any inquiries at your soonest convenience.
