Wow, that's running on a small HD. I had Panther running on my old Lombard and it had a 4.5GB HD with like 2GB free, I believe.

Yeah, a clean Panther install with nothing selected took 8 minutes and took only 1.4GB leaving 1.2 free. Then I did the Tiger upgrade and that left ~800 left. Now I think it has 711 after I installed a few things. That's all I'm installing though so the 3GB HD should be OK. Really cool having another Tiger machine to use though, even if it IS in 800x600.

Yeah, 800x600 sucks. Even though they have crappy resolutions, the clamshells are still cool, though.

Strong as a tank, I love the design. Would I buy that design if they made it again? NO WAY. The iBook G4 design is SO much better, but the clamshell with the cool handle is good for entertainment and sometimes around the house usage.

Yeah, the handle is awesome! I agree that the iBook G4 has a better design, though. The clamshell still looks cool, but I definitely prefer the looks of the newer iBooks.
