Is $1200 a good buy for demo iBook?
Now this is Canadian dollars so it like $750 in US funds.
It's a demo model and it's a 500mhz w/CD drive. It was the original USB iBook model that came out.
My concern is that while it seems like a good deal, I might be better off saving a bit more for 600 mhz or 14" model.
Also, can one really work comfortably in OSX with a 500mhz G3, 66 bus and say 384K of RAM? And I mean, resizing windows and moving stuff around without these pauses.
I'd hate to have to run OS9.x on this thing for the next 2 years.

Therefore, that's no point to buy the demo.
Also, the 500MHzz and 66MHz bus should be fine. The speed is good for me on mine, but people like Scott H will give you a hard time if you say it's fast enough for your needs.
