I have an old iBook that I would like to get rid of, but want to wipe it totally first. Any ideas - software for this?

You should use the software restore discs that came with the computer when it was new.

You will need to do an Erase and Install if you wish to sell it. Be sure you quit the installer when it begins with the startup assistant and asks to select a language. At that point just shut it down by pressing and holding the Power button until it shuts down. Be sure to include the installer discs with the computer when you get rid of it.
