[P1] Newbie question: iBook upgrades?

[Jean-Paul Thuot]

Well, thanks everyone.  This might just be the nicest mailing list I've 
joined!

I come from a Linux background, so I'm used to tinkering with both 
hardware and software.  Doing upgrades doesn't scare me, but I couldn't 
seem to find information on this iBook.  I agree that spending a bunch 
of money on this particular one may not be such a good idea.  I expect 
this is going to end up being my wife's machine in the future ;)

It definitely needs RAM though.

Thanks again.  I look forward to partaking of other conversations on 
this list.

Regards,

Jean-Paul
