Hey,
I'm terribly sorry if something like this has already been done, but because of my lack of experience with Macs I could really use some help on this. I'm a high school student looking to shed the dead weight of the PC for something more portible and user-friendly (hence the want of an iBook). Next year I am going off to college, and I am going to need a laptop to get me through there. I need all of the basic needs and perhaps would enjoy a game or two, (I'm kinda a FPS junkie). So anyways, back to the original question, I am wondering if I could possibly go for the G3 instead of the new iBook G4. I have seen an 800 Mhz iBook G3 out there for about 400 to 500 dollars less that what I would pay for the G4 model that I would like to have. Here's a list of programs and hardware that I would like to use with my iBook -
-Photoshop, (preferably CS, but I can work with 7)
-Microsoft Office, (I know, I know, it's Microsoft, lol I'm not completely weened off yet)
-Any other of the new iLife programs, (I would like to run OS 10 Panther on it, I was wondering if the new G3's come with this installed on them?)
-UT 2003, (and any other FPS's that I could run, thank you Aptmunich for all of your help regarding this, lol)
Oh, and I have also heard that the older G4s go for a lower price, hence the new iBook's release. Well, in anycase, thank you for your time and I hope that I haven't cluttered up the boards too much, lol.

(P.S. - if you would happen to know where I could get an ibook for a lower price, G3 or G4, that would run all of this, please post of PM me, thanks!)
