Thanks Tee. I might be interested in the clamshell. I know the batteries for the iBook are expensive, as I had to replace the one in my blueberry iBook awhile back. I purchased the blueberry in Apr 00 and I believe I had to replace the battery in late 03. It cost around $290, if I remember correctly, i.e. battery and installation. Would you consider selling the clamshell at a reduced rate for parts? If you would, cd the cd-tray from the your claimshell be attached to mine? Would it require a technician to install? Thanks for your offer of the G4 Titanium. However, I'm still in OS 9 mode, so if you're running OS X, then it might not work. Pls let me know. Thanks.
