The '''300 MHz blueberry clamshell iBook G3''' has a few issues but is usually usable.

== Specs ==
; CPU : 300 MHz PowerPC 750
; RAM : 544 MiB (32 MiB soldered + 512 MiB stick)
; Storage : 3.2 GiB hard disk
; Optical drive : CD-ROMs only
; Battery : Physically present, but dead
; Wi-Fi : 802.11b AirPort card

== Quirks ==
* When the computer is turned off, whether gracefully or not, a light horizontal line runs across the now-off display before fading away.
* Sometimes, the display will freak out for a minute or so, becoming vertically scrambled, with the lines shaking violently up and down. This effect does not get worse with time, and I can't discern a pattern of what triggers it.
* The CD-ROM drive is failing. Rotating the computer like with the [[skink|bronze keyboard PowerBook G3]] doesn't help. Your best bet is to burn the CD-ROM as slowly as possible and then pray to your deity of choice.
* The hinge is not as tight as it should be. When the display is open, the top of the display can rock back and forth about two inches.
* The 3.2 GiB hard disk is just ''barely'' large enough to fit a base install of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger when using XPostFacto. Try using Monolingual to purge all the unused resources to get more space. Also, trying to install the 10.4.11 update usually leads to sadness, but it might be possible.
