Well i blew my paycheck on the iBook. Haggled the guy down to $200 for it, after tax it was $213. Its a 14'', 600mhz, 18gb hd, 256mb ram and a DVD/CD-rw. Going to have Panther on it in a little wile. Added plus iTunes had more than 450songs in it. Cleaned it up and it looks great. The battery fits a little weird, but works and holds a charge.

Excellent, that's cheaper than a 14" portable DVD player, if you use it for nothing else.

If you get a high capacity battery for it, you should be able to see 2+ dvd's on it without difficulty, too.
g4/1.5 GHz 12 inch powerbook / 1.25 RAM / 80 gig / Superdrive / 10.5.6
g3/400 MHz Pismo / 640 RAM / 40 gig / Combo Drive / 10.3.9
