My partner has been using my beige G3 for ages now and getting not very far.

I wrote down a list of his requirements:-

1. Word processing for crosswords, writing songs and letters
2. Wants to design covers for music
3. Arrange and create cd's to burn and DVD's - lots of big music files
4. Scan pictures to make artwork - big files
5. Import images from net
6. Use the internet

So all of these things really added up to an iBook.

Searched Ebay and found a really good one (100% feedback from 2002)

G4 ibook with 80GB HD, dvd superdrive, 1.33ghz cpu and 512mb RAM.

Sounds ideal and I think that my partner might get the plot now and start smiling rather than cursing the beige G3 when it won't co-operate.

Now, off to find something for myself......

Have you already finalized the deal Frances?

If not... would you mind posting the URL to the Ebay listing for the machine here? I don't want to be a "wet blanket" but I'd feel a bit bit better if some of the others more experienced had a look-C...

I'm sure you'll be OK... however I really got stung on an Ebay deal for a G4, but I recovered all my funds due to the fact that I'd used PayPal and they did a good job of investigating it for me and I prevailed.

Deal is finalised - paid for with Paypal.

Hope to God it is ok.

You are welcome to go and have a look - please tell me it is ok!

Thanks

This seller has a 100% Feedback rating with 311 feedback replies. I can't imagine you are going to have any trouble here!

The only caveat for me would have been a warranty, or the ability to purchase Apple Care.

But honestly, with this kind of feedback, I doubt you're going to have any problems with this transaction.

Let us know, please!

Best,

Chris K

I second Chris' response - with that sort of feedback, you should be just fine.

Looks like you got a reasonable deal too, considering that others appear to have paid £450 or more for the same machine.
