New toys. Clamshells! Littlegreenfairy will turn green ;)
Discussion
Well I have in front of me a pair of Ibook clamshells finally got one (well 2)
One 366 on os9 and a 466 SE on osx.
Firstly isn't os9 dated!!!!
Ordered an airport card for the 466.
Apparently both have boxes (bought from friend) also both in excellent condition, with yoyo's and should be disks and manuals etc, so all good. Only negative is both are graphite, were they a bright colour they would be worth more (and be more fun!)
The intention is to see if I get on with the 466 and if so sell the 366 to pay for the pair of them. Of course if I don't I will just sell both, they should do very well on ebay given the boxes and condition!
Taking some getting back used to a non pc, it is the little things like the close window button being on the other side!
Also both batteries were dead (shock and indeed horror) so have booted in to the OF to reset the PMU and both seem to be charging as we speak fine.
Must say osx is very slick looking and nice to use, very different to windows though!

Funky old Macs they are. As you know, they will run OS X. But performance will be lacking They will be quite quick in OS 9 though, but OS 9 is of limited use these days.
The main thing I didn't like about owning a clamshell, was the naff screen resolution. Some OS X apps including apples own don't even support that screen res now.
Classic macs now though, as it was such a great design.
