I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

Hmmm, jerky scrolling? Let me have a look. MacOS X.1 on iBook 500Mhz with 320M RAM. Nope! No jerky scrolling in a finder window with more than 10 icons. Oh, and with "reduce processor performance" ticked to lengthen battery time!

It has an "uptime" of 149 days too
