I have an TiBook 867mhz, and it's showing some age. The hinges on these can be pretty fragile, and I'm debating about spending $200+ to fix mine. I currently have 10.5 running on it, and for video intensive sites, it's not as smooth as it used to be. A hard drive upgrade helped, but installing 10.5 and the updates took a while, especially over wireless.
