Hi, I have a 12" iBook, 1.2GHz G4, 512MB, 30GB HDD, Combo Drive and Airport.
I'm wondering what to do with it as it's beginning to come to the end of its life. I have a Mac Pro as my main machine these days though i still love my iBook and use it when i'm in bed/on the couch etc.
I was wondering what i should do with it - the hard drive is really full; only about 1GB left. I think it's a 4200rpm drive as well. Do you think i'd benefit putting in a 120GB 7200rpm drive. Would it speed things up as much as extra RAM?
I'd also like to think about putting in a superdrive, but i don't really want to spend too much on this project.
Are there any other things i can do with an old iBook? I'd be up for modding it. I might even have a go at painting it.
What do you guys do with old laptops that still work really well but have just become...old.
