What can I do with Power PC G4 iBook - anyone know anywhere to get rid of it? In great condition, but had to upgrade to Intel processor.

It's too old to sell and as I stated, it doesn't work for web browsing anymore. You can still load CDs for gaming and word processing, so maybe good as a second computer for a child who has uses not involving web browsing. I'd love to give it away to some deserving (or undeserving, for that matter) person, but do you know of any organization that will take old computers??? All that I've contacted so far are really fussy about what they will take for free and websites like Gazelle don't even list Macs this old. So far none of your advice has been helpful or realistic :-(

Well, Ken, you totally misunderstood my comment - first of all, you misinterpreted "deserving" to mean poor, which is not what I meant by that word. I simply meant that I would be happy to give the Mac to anyone, whether they were "deserving" (dictionary says: worthy, merited, nothing about being poor!) or not. I don't mind being chastised when I 'deserve' it, but I suspect your misinterpretation says more about you than about me. I find it odd that you would see it that way (?) I am worthy and deserving and have in the past been rather poor, one having nothing to do with the other :-)

About your comment relating to my computer, I have indeed tried local thrift shops and a local organization's Abundance Day (where they give stuff away for free) and none of these places take old computers anymore - some won't take any old electronics at all. But thank you for your input :-)

Thank you, Knucklesmac, for your suggestions. I actually use our local Freecycle all the time. I haven't really done much with eBay - maybe I can get my daughter to do it for me as she has more experience and an account with eBay. I never thought of collectors. I might try Craig's List in the meantime, though our Craig's List is not as active as one in a larger city, and I've not had much luck there in the past. If that gets no action, I will indeed try a post on Freecycle. Your comment was most helpful 🙂!

Jim 361036 - I don't want to post personal information, so how would we do this? I would be more than happy to box it up and send it to you if it can be arranged. Would you want the "Missing Manual Mac OSX Tiger Edition" also?

P.S. to Jim - I don't mind revealing that I live in north east Pennsylvania, so postage woud be from there to whereever you are, FedEx or post office, which ever is least expensive.

Thank you, Eustace, for your suggestion. Now Jim it's up to you if you want to add your email address to your profile.
