I am impressed by the fact that you're running such an old machine and have managed to avoid the rabid upgrade habits that apparently infect Mac users! (I myself have to sedate myself to overcome this). I suppose the "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" adage comes in here, and I am mighty impressed that you are continuing to live with such an old old machine. Is OSX usable on that? I recall 10.5 (and older) being horribly "crashy"; 10.6 was far better for me, but it was probably the desktop software I was using that was causing system instability. What's the battery life like?

It's running OSX 10.4 (Tiger). It's stable at least under my usage scenarios. Apple hasn't provided updates for this version in years. It's not my primary computer anymore, but it still works, is fairly rugged, has a nice form factor and keyboard feel, so I do keep using it fairly regularly for routine stuff like email, remote access to systems at work (ssh), etc.
