Count my lucky stars or else I was in the right place at the right time - one of the profs here at the university was moving offices today, and I stopped in to say hi. As I get suckered into helping move a filing cabinet, I look down into a drawer and see a clamshell power adaptor, and knowing he doesn't frequently use macs, asked if he had one. Low and behold, sitting a little lower in the drawer, a 366/320/10gig/CD lime green clamshell. He said, go ahead and take it - it was given to him and he had no use for it.
What to do with it? It doens't have an airport card, but boots up fine to 9.0.4, I'm testing the battery right now - though it's likely not got much life to it since I don't know how long it was sitting in that drawer. I see PeterB is the resident expert... I've got discs from my newer ibooks for 10.2.x and 10.4.x - and apparently with a properly massaged disk image I can fit either on with my external usb drive... or should I just off to ebay with it? Looks like ~$300 is possible there, or should I be good and donate it? Ah, such questions - what say you, forum?
