Impulse bought an iBook

So as usual eBay was being mean and showing me cool stuff so I ended up buying not just an indigo clamshell iBook, but also a graphite AirPort base station. YAYYY~

The iBook is missing a charger though and I could only find an American one, so I had to buy a stupid adapter on Amazon, which you can only buy in packs of two, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. 

What's even better is that of course all of it has to be recapped, it's not that much but I also haven't checked the AirPort yet, so it might be between 7-10 capacitors.

I also was surprised to find that a modern Mac still connects to the AirPort just fine, I couldn't change the configuration at the moment so it doesn't seem to be getting internet, but an IP was assigned, so that's a start.

the clamshell ibooks look so sick, wish they where not so expensive

Yeahh, plus most of them you can find are damaged badly. Either yellowed, cracked, just really used and dirty. It’s hard to find a good looking one. Mine has some very minor cracks at least. Though the rubberized coating for the colored parts is practically non existent now, and the bottom half has turned to goop slightly
