Hello all! I used to own an ibook g4 a few years ago, but decided to give it to my uncle as 1000$ towards a car that he bought for me..at the time i desperatly needed a new one. I missed it SO much. I was a windows user since i was in the 6th grade (now im about to be 21).
So from that time on i have been using a compaq computer.
AND NOW IM BACK! I went to a yard sale and he had this 15" Powerbook G4 (a1025) for 450$. He said he would take $400. So i picked it up. It runs on OSX 10.4.
This thing was loaded....microsoft office word (which I have been needing for AGES, lol), adobe photoshop 7.0, and final cut pro HD. He does computer networking for schools and stuff on the island, and so he often gets these computers that the school no longer needs.
Even though it was an older model, i figured, heck, this would definately be a great starting out computer for my major, computer graphics. I recently graduated with my lliberal arts degree and am moving on to pursuit my real major next year.
So, do you think that i've made a good investment? it runs fine, the only thing i noticed that from a 97% charge, it's down to 54%, after a little over an hour of usage (i think). I'm assuming it's because this computer is a few years old?
I would love any input
or advice/tips im so glad to be back to mac Just wanted to share my history with 'yall. ;D
