[MacDV] Upgrading a SNOW iBook G3/500

[Gerhard Kuhn]

Hi Chris

I think upgrading motherboards in laptop computers of any brand is a 
money loosing proposition since this is an item that is proprietary.  
That means there are no off the shelf generic parts with the advantage 
of lower prices than original brand name equipment.  The same holds 
true for mother-boards for desktop PC with an odd case shape and most 
Apple Products.
