SOLUTIONS
Tire went flat again so I went to a local mechanic. Found out that it was a nail. When the guy pulled it out, he yelled, "Woooaaahh, it's a big one!!" He plugged my tire and I kept the nail. Sill, the issue of replacing my tires is still unresolved. The treads are getting low so I'll expect to replace them within 6 months.
On the computer front, I spent all night troubleshooting: deleting files, repairing utilities, reinstalling OS X 10.3. Nothing worked. So I came to the conclusion the either the upgrade disk I used wasn't suitable for a G3 iBook or the solution was too much of a hassle. And considering the fact that I could get everything I want (Shuffle and Gmail) with an updated OS X 10.2.8, I decided to start everything over. So I spent all morning to wipe the slate clean. Used my original OS disks and updated the rest through apple.com. As with the tire, this is only a temporary fix. I'm sure I'll eventually have to upgrade to 10.3 or 10.4.
Until then, I'm glad my two most expensive toys are back in action. It's a load off my mind. Now I just need to get some sleep.
