I've gone through an 800 Mhz and a later 600 Mhz model that both croaked due to the video chip problem, but my older 600 Mhz model (with the 800 Mhz plastics, screen, and combo drive... heh heh) is still running great (knock knock). Then again, I *do* have a dead 500 Mhz model here, but it's also gummed up with cigarette gunk :) Brian > Harvey Jassem wrote: >> >> I have a dual usb 500MHz 12” 320MB memory, OS 9.2.2 iBook that’s >> been working great since I bought it in 2002.
