    Description

    VINTAGE working Apple tangerine iBook from 1999.  Has been carefully stored in a pet-free, smoke-free home and only booted up from time to time to ensure proper working order.  Also comes with a padded, color-coordinated carry case and an external 3.5" floppy drive in transparent green.
    This is a classic piece of technology that should make any Apple collector (or fan of "Legally Blonde") happy.
    PLEASE READ
    all
    details below.  I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.
    iBOOK DETAILS
    --Currently loaded with OSX 10.3.8 Panther; however, you are welcome to reformat and reinstall OS9 if you wish with the included install CDs.
    --PowerPC 750 G3
    --6 GB HD
    --288 MB RAM
    --Internal AirPort 802.11b card for wireless connectivity
    --12.1" active matrix color screen with NO dead pixels
    --Basic software package for the OSX install includes iTunes, iPhoto, Safari, iChat, iCal, Address Book and QuickTime.
    THE GOOD
    --The battery actually works and holds a charge, which is rare for a 22 year-old iBook.  Based on recent testing, I estimate the battery should last at least an hour or so after being fully charged.  It also holds a standby charge very well; after shutting down the iBook, the charge only dropped from 93% to 88% after three days.
    Please note: your experience may vary
    .
    --As you can see in the close-up photo of the keyboard, it is in perfect shape. There is no dust or dirt, and there are no worn, popped or non-working keys.
    --The CD-ROM, speaker, USB, power and headphone ports work perfectly; the E
    thernet port worked fine the last time I used it, but has not been recently tested.
    THE IMPERFECT
    --While there are currently no dead pixels on the screen, the tangerine felt insert has left a very slight "ghost" impression after years of storage.  While this does not affect functionality, it can be noticeable under certain light conditions when the desktop is empty; far less so when using applications.  Please see photos.
    --There are some "spider cracks" around the tangerine Apple logo below the screen. This is standard for iBooks of this vintage.
    Even though this iBook is in excellent shape for a piece of hardware that is 22 years old, please note that this is being sold AS IS.  I have more photos if you would like to see them, and I do have a boot up video of the iBook as well.  Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
