I Bought a New/Used iBook Laptop for Our Trip to Europe



You may recall that last July - I "lost" a new MacBook laptop computer on our trip to San Diego. You can read the story in the police log by clicking on the title above. The loss put a damper on an otherwise glorious trip.

So this year we decided to buy an inexpensive laptop to take on the trip to Europe in July.

Someone in Tapple - our local Mac Computer Club - was selling an iBook G3. It is a little white Mac. It has 30 gig of disk space - 640 megs of RAM - and an airport card. That means we can use it wirelessly to check our e-mail and to post stories on the Internet anywhere in the world. The iBook is about 3 years old - it still has some time left on its warranty - Applecare.

It is lighter and smaller than either Nancy's or my laptops.

The laptop looks brand new - but it only cost $315.

After our trip is over - it can be used by our visitors in the guest house.
