[Visualpython-users] VPython on brand new iBook

[Joe H. <hea...@vn...>]

Hi.

Last Saturday, I purchased a new Apple iBook -- 600MHz G3, 100MHz bus, 256K L2 cache, 256MB RAM, 8MB VRAM). The following Monday morning, the Apple web site showed new specs -- 700MHz G3, 100MHz bus, 512K L2 cache, 128MB RAM (I bought 128MB extra), 16MB VRAM. I can exchange mine for a $129 restocking fee + $60 installation (to swap out the Airport card and extra RAM). My question is this:

Would it be worth it to me to swap for the newer iBook for the purposes of running VPython?

Another question: I'm a brand new Mac user. The VPython installation looks daunting under OS X, and I really don't want to screw up my brand new iBook. Could someone comfort me about the installation procedure? :-)
