I have a iBook clamshell, graphite, 366 mhz, usb, ethernet, audio, internal modem, airport card, 512 RAM, 40 Gig hard drive with osx 10.3.8 installed. Programs such as Flash MX and iMovie. How much could I get for this monster?

Really there is no way to possibly do this, but, there is a way to play the files from a DVD on a cd, or external hard drive so it will run like a DVD. Below I have put the steps. *note, you can only do this if you have an apple that runs DVD's.
1. Insert the DVD into your other apple that has a dvd player.
2. Open the disk, and copy the VIDEO_TS. files onto a disk or an external hard drive.
3. Transfer the VIDEO_TS. files onto your clamshell iBook.
4. Go to www.download.com and search for DivX.

My taste in writer's computers is wildly varied. I use a number of machines for basic writing chores, but ultimately it's an issue of portability. I prefer to write anywhere but my desk. So, laptops are a necessity.
I've had a number of them in my life, both PC and Mac, as well as the occasional oddball (my Tandy and AlphaSmart Pro). Where the Macs are concerned, two have been an absolute joy to work on, my old Powerbooks 150 and 540c. Before it died, my 150 handled many writing chores, in fact, simply because it was lighter. So, weight becomes an issue.
