Re: Reasonable price for used iBook G4?



Thanks, already made the deal!

I'm using it solely for Soundplant39, so it's got Tiger but it's fine.

Had a gig with it today and it performed like a dream! :-)

Keep in mind that with the G4 you will be limited to Mac OS X 10.5,
i.e., Leopard and only software that will run on the PPC. There's
still a lot you can do (I'm using a G5 tower, so I feel the
pain...only alleviated by using my day-job Intel MacBook Pro!) so it's
still worth snagging at that price.. And you can do some upgrades to
make it more efficient (more RAM, fast hard drive).

Good luck!

Dennis
