Need manual for Apple iBook G3

[cockroachfarm]

I give up. I have Googled and Safari'd for over an hour and I can't find a link to a PDF download for the Owner's Manual for an old Apple G3 iBook notebook. Any hints? (including the search parameters you used, 'cause I'm usually pretty good at this. Today - nada )

Did you check Apples website,how old is this thing?Most manufacturers that I've looked into have had manuals going back to the stone age.

It should be right here. At least it says G3.

Ive searched for 'Apple G3 iBook manual' it was the second result on Google.

That's the one. (What the heck was I looking for???? I'm usually pretty good at defining search parameters. )

Thanks everyone.

Now that I've gone through it - I guess I am looking more for some sort of Operations Manual for that iBook. Maybe I should just look for an "iBook G3 For Dummies" book?

Mac is usually pretty bad with manuals, they think their operating system is self-explanatory.

Yep. Its not.

If you want info on how to use the operating system, check out the Missing Manual books. The OS X Leopard volume I use is a godsend - I'd be totally lost without it.

Yeah, not nearly as well documented as the Windows OS

Thanks for that lead. I'm a Windows converted user and the Leopard system is not 'intuitive' whatsoever. This series of books looks like a smart bet. Bought it. (Amazon had it for FAR less, BTW.)

That's where I got mine too. I also am a new convert from 11 years of slavery to the Monster Gates. Free at last!
