Hi, I have an ibook G3 OS 10.2 and I just got an airport card installed. I had to get firefox installed to be able to check email on the web. Anyhow, I am looking for a battery pack so that I don't have to be plugged in to use it. What is it called and what should I expect to pay? Is it external or internal. I have never seen one for the ibook.
Also, I am considering to buy more RAM and memory for the hard drive. Do they each have a specific name, so I know what to look for, and again, what should I expect to pay?
How and where do I add memory, or do I have to take it to shop? All I can seem to open is to lift the keyboard, where the airport card is installed. Doesn't seem to be room for anything else.
This is all new to me so please be detailed. Thank you very much.

What kind of iBook G3 do you have? Is it totally white, or is it colorful? If you can tell us these things, then I can help you.

Thanks for that link. This brought up another question. I have one of those calmshell batteries in the computer. When I try to start the computer without it plugged in nothing happens. Can it be that the battery is totally dead. How can I know? How long would the computer have to be plugged in for the battery to reach full charge (if it's not dead)?
Do I just leave the computer on, and let the screen saver come on, fold down the top or can you tell me about the sleep mode? What is the difference? Is it normal that it gets pretty warm on the underside?
Thanks.

The battery is probably dead, since your iBook is fairly old. For sleep mode check under System Preferances> Energy Saver. That will tell you when your iBook is set to go to sleep. Closing the lid also puts it to sleep. It is normal for it to get warm, but not enough to burn you.

Can you tell me if the battery charges with or without the computer turned on? Is it enough to plug it in to the wall without turning it on?

It charges no matter if it is on or off, it just has to be plugged in.
