Wife needs a decent laptop while she is laid up with the broken leg. I have found a few good deals on Pismos and Lombards that would do what she needs to do which is just internet, and some writing on our book (about birds). I thought about a clamshell but prices seem inordinately high, and the G3 ibooks seem to have problems with motherboards, etc. Are there any problems that are commpon the that generation of Powerbook that I need to know about? She will be using OS X on it if I cannot find a compatible PCMCI card for OS 9 so that is one known issue, the other is battery cost but for a low enough intial buy I do not mind.
Thanks in advance,
