Hey everyone,

I think it's time to sell my baby, or at least consider selling it. I've had endless pleasures working with my iBook. I've recently "upgraded" to a new Powerbook, and I'm really satisfied with the Powerbook. So I decided, I should probably sell my trusty iBook since I'm going to be using the PB more.

Right now the iBook is running debian (using it as a mysql / php server for local testing) It runs tiger quite well to be honest. I haven't had any problems with OSX at all. I just decided to install debian for the heck of it last weekend, I wanted to mess around with some auditing tools, I didn't want to compile them for OS X or find the source for the tools for OS X.

Anyways.
-------

This iBook is wonderful, it's served me for several years, I've done quite a bit of gfx design and print, wed dev, os x dev on it, with no real issues at all. It runs cs3 surprisingly well.

Specs:
12''
800 mhz cpu
384 ram
40 gig 5400 rpm hdd
Airport
combo drive.
Battery holds 3 hours of charge.

It has an iColours rainbow insert installed as well, I can take it out if you'd like me to.

I've had ZERO issues with the iBook, nothing is wrong with it at all. I really hate to get rid of it, but to be honest. I don't think I'll use it much now that I have this powerbook. It deserves better than to be put on the shelf or the corner of the desk as a local web server. I'll admit, I do have a bit of an emotional attachment to it. That's what makes it so hard to let it go.

Since it's served me so well. It'll come with a new install of tiger before it's shipped out.

Price wise, I think I'll start with 450 - 375 + shipping, the shipping would be about 15 - 20 that's insured with tracking.

Here are the promised pictures. I apologize if the colors aren't correct, or the lighting is bad. The lighting is terrible in my room. I can take better pictures if needed.

How about 380 shipped. That would include, iBook, power adapter, VGA adapter, S-Video / component adapter with a component cable, icoulors installed. Fresh install of tiger.

The shipping includes UPS shipping, with tracking and insurance.
