> I have a 14 inch G4 iBook with a Combo Drive and Airport Extreme, and I > think the machine is great. Hi, Mike, Thank you for your thoughts. Mine are leaning in the same direction. My son would do the installation to the tangerine (he's a mac tech), but I would still have an *old* iBook. As for getting a G3, I was amazed at how antique my tangerine felt after about a year, so i wouldn't want to start right out behind the curve. As you can tell, I tend to keep them for awhile. I have been wondering about the combo drive.....thinking that I wouldn't need the dvd part. do you see installation, etc. dVds in the future. About hard drive size and processor speeds, what are your thoughts and what did you get? May
