    Your rendition of the intro/setup song gave me a chuckle. That was great!
    The 14 in. iBook G4 takes me back to college (university) 2005. I had the 1.42 GHz model customized with an 80 GB HDD and later a RAM upgrade to 1.5 GBs. I carried that thing everywhere with me on campus. After college, I continued to carry the iBook around with me at work. Sadly, I dropped that iBook in 2008 causing it have a small crack near the center bottom of the display. Finally, in 2011, I dropped the iBook again and that time the entire display went and that was the last time I used it.

    I once replaced the power plug of a 14-in G4 iBook because the cable had worn through too close to the plug to be repaired. Turns out the plug is a 2.5mm stereo audio plug of tip-ring-sleeve configuration. The tip has no power connection, the ring is 24 volts negative and the sleeve is 24 volts positive. The metal tube surrounding it is to prevent silly people from inserting the 24 volt power supply into an audio port.
    My "fix" worked in that the laptop charged but there was no multi-coloured illuminated light around the face of the connector that met up with the body of the laptop.

    One thing that can be done with Apple laptops with dud/dodgy keyboards is to position a Bluetooth keyboard on top of the existing one: the feet on the BT keyboard neatly straddle the built-in keyboard without depressing any keys. You also get a sloped typing angle. I have used this trick with 12 and 14-in iBooks, 12, and 15-in PowerBooka and a pre-unibody 15-in MacBook Pro.

    Damn now you made me finally buy a 20 € iBook G4 14 inch .. 1.33 GHz which is the equvalent of my 1.2 GHz 12 inch device. Both had one more successor: 1.33 GHz 12 inch, as well as an 1.42 GHz 14 inch. Just tell me, which version of Minecraft did you download and show in the Video?

    I had a 14 inch iBook G4 from 2004 to 2009. It was great until I put 10.5 Leopard on it… then it crawled. The letters wearing off was a common issue. A later revision of the keyboard laser etched the letters into the plastic, and it never happened to me again after AppleCare covered it.

    Limiting FPS to 60 (or rather the refresh rate of your display) makes the rendering take only as much resources as it needs to achieve 100% performance and not waste resources on rendering frames that will never be displayed.
