upgrade it to ppc later if you
wish. It is a good laptop with a nice color screen.

Not gonna happen. Not and run normally. Need more
ram and speed than any sub-$100 book, unless you can
find a screamin' deal on a 1400 with a full ram
load.
Ah, didn't think of the ppc duos. Still, I figured
the only usefull v or Powerpoint is '98+. Am I wrong
on that?
I would recommend the Duo's.
Why? they're light, compact, cheap, MUCH FASTER than a 5xx, and they can be
combined with a dock for very little cost, should you decide to go to a
desktop form facctor..

Hi everyone,
I need some advice from all you Mac wizards. My sister, who has never
used a Mac in her life, has commissioned me to buy a used Powerbook
for her eleven-year-old daughter. Her requirements are simple:
1) Cost $100 or less
2) Simple and reliable
3) Can run some version of
A 540c with rev c pcmcia holder/ But that is more then 100.00 If the hd has
been upgraded to the at/scsi setup that is nice as well.

I can also recommend a 540c. you can get a good used one on eBay for
around $65. You should also upgrade the RAM, if it hasn't been. A used
32MB module usually goes for under $40. If it's not going on the Web,
you can get by with a 24MB module.
Before you decide, you should go to EveryMac.com
Depending on exact needs, one of the Duos would be about perfect.
Especially with Internet not being an issue, as the primary problem with
Duos is the lack of external connectivity. Their primary advantage is being
small and cheap. Even a PowerPC 2300c can be had for ~$50, which leaves
extra

If you don't need the ppc processor why not go for a 1xx series or if
you want colour go for the 190cs these wher very nice powerbooks and
