i just bought an ibook off of ebay, and i need some questions answered. it is a g3 366mhz, 6gb, 320 ram, clamshell ibook. it says airport ready.

first is there a book that i can read to familiarize myself with the ibook?
You haven't mentioned which OS it has, but assuming it has OS X, a good book is "OS X:The Missing Manual"

second: can i upgrade to a dvd player and how much?
You would need to upgrade the logic board to a 466 board first, if I am not mistaken
also is it worth it?
My opinion, no. It would have been easier and cheaper to have purchased a model with a DVD already installed. Yes, it can be done, but too much work for my taste

third: is there a way that i can up the power to a 466? how? is it worth it?
See the previous response
and lastley: which does everyone here prefer pc or mac seriously?
I think I speak for many here when I say that we don't necessarily prefer one platform over the other. It is all about what you need to do with your system, and using the best system for that job. I have and use both Macs and Windows machines. Each has it's own pros and cons. Granted I primarily use the Macs, as I do quite a bit of music composition and editing; but the Windows boxes still see use here and there. :black:

thanks for the help in advance also everyone that i have talked about macs to who own a pc say don't ger a mac stick with pc. thanks again
