There is currently an iBook in the Special Deals section of the Apple store for $649. It's a 12" refurb 128Mb/30G HD if your interested.

The special deals is on the left hand side of the store page.

I found it, thx
iBook G4 800MHz/128MB/30GB/CD-ROM/E/56K/12" TFT-Refurbished is US$749. Is it worth to pay extra 100 bucks for a G4? :)

I am currenlt typing on a G3 refurb just like the one on the Apple site. I wish I had gotten the G4 with the combo drive. Just a few hundred more.

The reason is that many software titles require a G4.

Will Dreamwaver and Fireworks run great on G4?
If I want to upgrade the RAM, where should I go? CompUSA?

Well for the applictions you will need to do your own research but I got memory from the Aplple store and installed it myself. It was easy.

Really, any website talk about the installation instruction?
I am going to order the iBook G4 800MHz today. Will
AirPort work with linksys rounter?

[Yosam]

Actually when you get the iBook there is a manual that will show you how to install memory and an Airport card. It's just under the keyboard. For memory you will need a small phillips screw driver. Simple process. My dad has a Linksys router at his house and my iBook works great there.

Good luck

I am going to order the ibook today. Thank you very much.

Good luck. Even though I wish I had spent a few more dollars for the G4 combo drive version I really like my G3 iBook and will continue to use it for a long time to come. I'm just going to get an external combo drive and leave it at that. I find I like that Apples more than PC's now. No worries about viruses or other Windows problems.

I haven't heared that Apple have virus problem. Do I need to get the anti-virus? I am going to spend a lot in softwave. Lucky, I can buy the education additon :)

There aren't too many viruses out there for Mac's, especially Mac OS X. But it's not a bad idea to consider getting an anti-virus application sometime in the future when you have more money available.

[Yosam]

When I bought the iBook I went to an Apple store and talked with one of their Genius guys. He said the anti-virus software was not a big deal on Mac. He said that most people don't buy since the risks are so low. It's a personal preference I guess.
