My Windows laptop broke, it was a 2011 model, so right now I'm using a 1.67 GhZ PowerBook G4 from about May 2005, Since I can't afford to buy a new laptop right now, I'm gonna probably be using this for a year and a half, I guess this thread will be like some sort of blog, for updates and tweaks I'm using to make this machine more standard to today's "internet" life . But anyways here are the details of the machine..
1.67 Ghz
10.5.8 Leopard - Works fantastic! Better than Tiger! and is at least somewhat modern
1.0 GB of RAM --> I'm upgrading this (Bought a 2.0 GB kit for only $20.00)
80 GB HD --> Might buy SSD, chances are when I get off my ass and get a job...
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - 64VRAM [COLOR]--> Works actually great, Barely any lag on YouTube when watching even 480p videos!
PROBLEMS TO FIX ON IT:
- Battery is 100% Dead, it doesn't recognize it
- Need new "J" Key
- Case is pretty scratched, and a little dented --> I can't really fix this, maybe future case solution?
- Wobbly Screen --> I can fix this by tightening
-GMail is ********** slow... - only website with incredibly slow script

I'll update later and talk about best browser and how to get flash working better, anyways enjoy!
