iBook - advice on refurb 500MHz / 64MB / 10GB / CD-ROM
I'm a aspiring PC-to-Mac convert, but the iBook options are maddening.
The above is available on Apple's Special Deals site for $900.

With a 256MB bump to 320MB ($72 from crucial.com), this seems like a pretty respectable machine for $972.
My intended usage: wireless web surfing, writing, light Office X, MP3 playback. DVD/combo drive not desired.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

When I bought my iBook 600 a couple of months ago, I had no problem finding a buyer for my blueberry iBook 300. Low-end laptops retain more of their value because even a semi-obsolete machine will still be worth $600 or so. Plenty of people pay that much for a machine to be used only for web, email and word processing.
