ibook G4 14in
i pulled out a box of old pc stuff from under one of the beds in the extra room to find this. i completely forgot i ever had this. it was given to me by my best friends mom and i remember typing up our senior paper on this rig. the thing is slow as dirt ;) but it still works. kinda cool to compare to the ibook.

boot up time is about 3.5-4 minutes.
the floppy drives slides completely out.
here are the specs powerbook5300c

Wow, what a find! I have my old Powerbook 170 and it still works. It's been through the fire and back. I used to even win Ebay auctions on it with Dial up!
