You go to the Genius bar and he starts working on it and a veteran Apple store tech comes over and says "Your not allowd to touch that holy computer"...no replacement parts lol.
You assume 720p video will playback fine and the computer chokes like crazy.

When you iPhone considerably outperforms it in every task and it cost over $2000 new and you got it for $47...
... when you start feeling proud about how patient you are.
BTW, what version of MS Word would you suggest for a G3 iBook (600). I have 2004, but it's sluggish as hell.

This does not apply to me as what I use my G5 for is mainly for everyday activities. Watching Youtube, video encoding(light), word processing, tinkering - My machine is not getting old, but smarter

When you did around your geek storage room and find your PM in it's original box, pull it out, pull the wifi card out for your iMac G4, put it in and setup the iMac so you can remember the good days of PPC and the card won't find your router which is only 10 feet away in the other room.
(My last 20 minutes no joke.)

Too close
The antennae are in the screen. 10 feet is too close, if there is a wall use interference robustness.

The G4 iMac's Airport antenna is not in the screen. If you are looking top at the top of the dome and the optical drive is at 6 o'clock, the Airport antenna is at 3 or 9 o'clock, depending on the revision, roughly at the same latitude as the Apple logo.
I have 2 walls in between me and the router. No wonder it won't find it.

It's also the original iMac 800 with just the Airport, 802.11a/b if I remember right.

Those only have B WiFi abilities. The Intell iMac was the first model to support WiFi A networks. My Airport B G4 iMac gets very good range. About as good as by Blackbook. Of course the speeds are not the same, but it can see and connect to the network without a problem.
When you can find your model for less than $100 everywhere you look. I should have waited, I paid $200 for this thing.

The same thing happened to me with my Powerbook so annoying.
What model exactly is your PB? Because if I could find a 12" late-model PB for $100, I'd be all over it.
Hasn't been said yet (well at least I don't remember seeing it)
When the "command" key has a logo on it.

Apple changed the
-key from 2007+. Late 2007 MacBooks or Early 2008 MacBook Pro's came with the cmd/command key.

Mine is the last model which i bought for around $250 I've managed to find one on ebay for $100 but it was rare find. But what i mean is that if i waited i could of bought one for less.
The same thing happened with my ibook G4 1.2 Ghz... Dang it, the guy I bought from put 20 more ibook G4 (same specs) for sale for only 79 dollars... I pay 120
Lol, the guy I bought my clamshell off of did a bad move. He only put a picture of it closed, and didn't specify that it was the SE/DVD version. Has literally no wear or tear on the keyboard and works great, and I got it a little cheaper than what the originals go for.

It's really a crap shoot. I got my iBook for $200 almost three years ago. It was in mint condition, battery was in great shape, and I've had very few problems.
I bought a G3 PowerBook over ten years ago, and the thing was filthy and in need of repair. Never got satisfaction from that purchase.
