Throwing out an idea to trade 1GHz 12" PB for older iBook (with cash of course)

[wwooden]

I just bought a new 17" iMac G5 and am now realizing I don't need the power that my PB has for the road. All I need a laptop for is to instant message, surf the web, check e-mail and write reports between classes, everything else I can on the iMac. I think it's stupid for me to waste such a good computer just to do that stuff. I am starting to think maybe it would be better for me to trade mine with someone who has an older iBook (maybe 700mHz G3 and above) along with some cash on their side. I would need airport, but hard drive space and drive options are not that important (well, a DVD player would be nice for the road). I'm just trying to get a feel for what my options are to best of my computer situation, and hopefully someone else's. Send my a PM if you want to talk or IM me, later.

Well, how much bank are you thinking?? I have a iBook G3 800MHz that would work splendidly.. -Drew
