[QUOTE="supenguin, post: 20193"] What a great weekend! I finally got a new Mac after wanting one since OS/X first came out. Talk about a LONG wait! Anyway, a little info - I'm a Linux geek, my wife is a graphic designer. OS/X is the perfect OS for us - I get to do my Unix-type stuff and she can do her stuff. I had been planning on saving up for a 15" Powerbook, but Friday we got a flyer from Microcenter. Ibook 900 mhz g3 with combo drive for $799. On top of that you get a $100 rebate if you sign up for a Microcenter credit card and put the ibook on it. Sign up for the CC, pay it off right away, close the account after getting the rebate. Sounds good :-) Oh yeah, the ad said it had a 40 GB drive, turned out it was 60. Also, I didn't realize it came with Airport Extreme built in and 10.2.4 installed, but it came with Panther on CD. As you can tell, I'm very happy with the deal. I don't think you can even get this model ibook for that price on ebay. Wow, this post has ended up being a little long. I have a couple questions, but I'll put that in a seperate thread to give your eyes a break! Just gotta say this... This is actually my second Mac. My first was a Perfoma 6200CD I bought off a college buddy for $50 back in 2000. Its running 7.5.5. Quite a difference between the ibook and the performa! [/QUOTE]
