Welcome ! I never had any HW trouble with my 500 mhz IceBook .. It runs 10.2.6 just fine ... Sure NOW that I also have a 1 Ghz G4 TiBook, it seems quite slow ... Some things don;t work as great (would not want to try watching a Divx movie or playing Jedi Knight 2 on this baby) Depends a bit on what you want to do ... Like rendering in iMovie and Photoshop will take long(er) .. If you just want a nice portable machine for email and browsing ... Then you can go cheaper :) P on 6/5/03 2:12 AM, Parkblue at gmx.net at Parkblue at gmx.net wrote: > Hi - > > I'm a newbie on this list, but a long-time Duo/2400-list subscriber, owned > various Powerbooks (a 100, a 165, a 270, a 280, a 2300 and currently a > 2400).
