My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

Don't know if you've changed this option Eugenia, but under System Preferences, there is the General prefpane. In it there is a option for Font smoothing style that has four options (Standard, Light, Medium, and Strong). By default, OS X has it set to Standard - Best for CRT. Try changing it to Medium - Best for LCD and see if that helps any.
I think it's a good idea, personally, that you have to remove the battery to insert the AirPort Extreme card. Prevents any power from running while you're inserting a Mini-PCI device in the system (I think the form factor is Mini-PCI). And having installed one in my work Al PowerBook 12", I think it's easier than installing a regular AirPort card in an iBook unit.
