Hi, people, I'm back. Now that I already have an iMac G3 in my office and since I'm taking online classes to be a PC tech, I'd like to supplement my tech training (reason I bought the iMac G3 and Apple Support training book for OS X 10.4 (Tiger) plus the OS X Tiger Missing Manual book) by somehow getting an ibook or another mac laptop to practice taking it apart (please see these iFixit guides) Mac laptop take-apart guides
(if not to buy a newer Apple OS X support book later on, say, after I'm just about finished with my training on the iMac G3) so which model of mac laptop (I don't want any that are below OS X Tiger; however, this laptop can be newer) would you guys recommend I buy/look for either in the Thrift store back of our house, the Salvation Army store near the local mall, or accept from someone that my best friend has contact (she has contact with more people than I do ATM) with that's discarding the computer, and how much should I pay for it?
Lastly, I won't be ready to look for such a laptop to buy until probably this summer sometime, so just want ideas now.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT - this Mac/Apple training is to be a self-study program, taken on my own as a self-paced manner until I finish my current schooling at the community college (which will be in about 3 - 4 years from now) so that hopefully I'd have Apple experience behind my belt, and after which hopefully contact the Apple Training people about the intensive hands-on training at Apple HQ in Calif and the other Apple training HQ that's somewhere else (I forgot where) but I think there's at least 2 such training HQ's in the USA.
