[iBook] Dual USB G3 iBook 500mHz/640MB RAM/10GB HD -- Tiger or Panther?

[Mike Urseth]

On a related note: Is anybody else underwhelmed with the Spotlight  
search functions? Sure, it comes up fast, but I've had issues of  
accuracy. Files that I "know" I have (and have subsequently found)  
don't show up. Also, the lack of a path makes it difficult to find  
related files. I don't always want to open a file that I'm looking for.

Just venting...
