iBook G3 tangerine

I won my first competitive ebay action by $2.50. It was for an ibook g3 tangerine and powerbook g4, it will be my 4th powerbook g4, they both come with power adapters but are assumed faulty/untested, not sure what im in for but I always wanted a clamshell. An early Christmas present for myself.

Replacement charger came today, my untested g3 is working. Only has 64MB RAM so I need to do an upgrade.

I think each of the colored computers (iMacs, iBooks, etc.) have a unique identifier.  If you do a fresh install of OS 9, it'll install a color coordinated desktop picture and UI theme.

That is true. I think it's the serial number. It leads to some interesting results with motherboard swaps. 

 
I loved the clamshells, purchased an Indigo new and it went with me everywhere for several years.  Later when the prices came way down I bought a tangerine model (like this one) and it still runs well and looks awesome.  A few years back I saw that someone nearby was selling one pretty cheap on CL, which was running Linux and so I bought it.  It runs well and even connected through wireless to my old router.  I am still hoping to get a Lime someday.

I am so happy that this one is working out for you - enjoy!
