A classic

It's Saturday and I have a few hours to kill, so I busted out my old Clamshell iBook.

This one was my first Mac. I loved it like a baby. It was also the first laptop that I really worked on. I upgraded the hard drive, the wireless card and the ram. I even overclocked it to 400mhz. I later moved on to white iBooks, and replacing logic boards, but that got... expensive...

Tangerine, baby. I love and miss Apple's wacky, colorful designs. I mean, I get it; no one wants to spend $2000 on something that looks like a teenage girl's makeup kit. But still, it's fun.

I'm thinking about using this badboy to stream music to my living room. It's just crazy enough to work!

Sweet! The tangerine was a fav of mine, but the lime color was my obsession. For years, i tried to find an old Lime iMac that I could totally gut, and put in modern components - maybe just put a Mac Mini in there and an LCD monitor. I love the lime iMac.

Dude, if I could cram a mac mini in to this iBook shell, I'd be so all over that.
