[olug] Laptop HD for borrowing?

[Dan Clough]

A 900Mhz iBook is a decent interwebs-browsing/light-use laptop.  My 
700Mhz handled OS X 10.3 quite well with 384MB RAM.

Jay at RTU might have some laptop HDs left over, although when I went 
there yesterday I discovered that alot of things got thrown out.  Odds 
are, now that you need it, he probably doesn't have it.  ;)  But anyway, 
if you use your iBook for anything other than internet browsing/e-mail, 
I'd suggest moving up to a used PowerBook G4 (And perhaps even upgrading 
to Leopard - it's amazing, even on a G4), and if need be, maybe even a 
new MacBook.
