I am typing this from my 9-year old PBG4 titanium.
It boots up, runs Tiger, connects to the internet!
I'm quite amazed after 4 years of neglection stuck in a cupboard.
And the best bit...

Software Update only had 3 items to install :p

I have 2 TiBook G4s, both running great. My dad uses my original TiBook 500, and my TiBook 667 (DVI) that I bought in 2006 for $400 is currently running an online radio station. The only thing I've had issues with, on these, and my AluBook 1.33, is the power adapters. If the connector on the DC plug doesn't fray on me, the DC cable's connection to the adapter frays.

Now I really miss my old TiBook (I had a 667Mhz model for a while - maybe its time for some ebay binging... - I really miss it) - It has to be said my 15" PowerBook G4/1.67 makes up for it in some respects, I really miss the old Ti - back in 2001/2 when I first used one they were brilliant notebooks - just pure brilliance for the time.
