Is this good for Apple iBook G3?

Apple G3 I bought this off eBay for $ 360. The specifications are: CPU Type: PowerPC G3 Processor speed: 900 MHz Memory: 384 megabytes of hard disk: 40 GB Optical Drive: DVD / CDRW (COMBO) Modem: 56,6 (internal) Standard Ethernet: 10/100 Base-T & Wireless USB 1.1 Ports: 2 Firewire ports: 1 Operating System: Mac OSX Tiger 10.4.11 Built-in Display Color: 12.1 "Good Battery Included NEW C Adapter / / Charger: Included Wireless / Wi-Fi: AirPort Card The body is in perfect condition … It is clean, I will be Upgrading the RAM to 512 MB when I get home tonight. As I said, I paid $ 360 for it. So I wonder if I made a bad decision or not. I only use it for Internet and do homework. Also, if I had to sell, what should I sell?

As for me, $ 360 for an iBook G3 is quite expensive, even in near mint condition. Four generations of age (G3, G4, MacBook Core Duo, MacBook Core 2 Duo) … My 500MHz with 256MB of RAM has been terribly slow when I was running 10.4.9. In addition, the G3 are USB 1.1 and 802.11b WiFi, both obsolete technologies. I just paid $ 470 for an IBM ThinkPad X60 (Core Duo 1.8 GHz, 2.5 GB RAM, 60 GB hard drive, built in the early 2007) is Littler and improve battery life. It could also have paid $ 270 for a Toshiba convertible Tablet (Pentium M 1.6GHz, 512MB RAM, 40GB HDD, built in 2005-06ish), which is $ 90 less than you paid for a better spec. Of course, they cover scratches, but both are in good working condition. Personally, I Consider buying used Mac laptop is a great loss. The prices are exorbitant for what you get. I would not pay more than $ 180-200 for a laptop from 2003, when the iBook was built. If I knew that when I paid $ 280 two years ago on my iBook G3 500 MHz I ended up selling this fall for $ 60. On the other hand, Emacs is a good deal. I'm thinking of getting a 1.25 GHz U.S. $ 100 and play with OS X again. Full disclosure: I am not a fangirl Mac or Windows, and I do not PC Mac deserve a premium even more powerful. They are not only different than, I think. "
