I just upgraded to a MacBook Pro from my iBook 900 (now over 7 years old). I want to keep my iBook since it still works just fine but it's gonna have to go into my storage shed. The battery is shot but otherwise it's still a functioning machine. It will join a Powerbook 1400 (ca. 1997) in storage. Is there any "best" or "preferred storage method? FWIW, I have never had to "put down" a Mac/Apple machine in over 25 years usage of Macs. They are still functioning when it's become time to upgrade and store the old machines. The only difference this time is that my faithful iBook will be indefinitely stored in a shed and subject to the Arizona desert's heat, albeit a dry heat. Fred Stevens Arizona desert denizen
