Agreed. It would just not be practical. My advice to you is to 
(depending on budget)

a) Buy a second hand older intel Macbook. Caveat emptor.
b) Buy a refurbished macbook from Apple.
c) Buy the shiny new unibody Macbook from Apple.


In terms of what to do with the 800? Give it to a  younger student in 
the family who is working on a big school project, sell it, donate it, 
or even keep it running in the house and use it as a server (what I did 
with my 400).
