Just got an iBook G4 as "payment!"

[im_to_hyper]

So I've helped a friend a lot over the past few weeks with stuff, culminating in helping her migrate her data from her iBook to her new MacBook.

As payment I got the following: iBook G4 12"/1.07GHz/256MB RAM/40GB HD/Combo Drive/Airport Extreme/10.3.9

There is one solid line across the screen, doesn't really get in the way too much.


I upgraded it to 512MB with a stick I had lying around
Reformatted to 10.5.8
Disabled the dock transparency
Disabled Spotlight indexing on everything except Applications (I use Spotlight a lot to launch programs)
Downloaded Silk to enable CoreImage support and now have a transparent menu bar! (No performance difference with that)


GeekBench Score Here (http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/236036) Not the highest score, but great for surfing and using Pages and Keynote.

Performance seems faster under Leopard with those "mini tweaks" than it did under Panther!
