Before I post this puppy on eBay, I thought I would see if I could get a good trade or at least sell it to some good ol' Mac folk.

I have a G3 Powerbook Wallstreet edition, with a Sonnet G4 500mhz upgrade card. It also has:
14.1 inch display
512mb RAM
40g combined HD (2x 20g drives - one internal in the drive bay)
Firewire PCMCIA Card
USB 2.0 PCMCIA Card
Power Adapter
Running OSX 10.2 and I can keep lots of software on it, if needed.

The problems:
Battery lasts for about 10-15 minutes
The Left Arrow key on the keyboard can stick. But you can still press it when stuck.

I guess I am looking for something smaller and lighter. Ok, I am looking for an iBook, most likely one of the clam shell designs.

If I don't hear anything here within a week I will post the link to the auction on eBay. Let me know if you have any questions!

I was hoping to get 600 for it, but that is open for discussion.

Ideally, I would like to trade for an iBook...

Why would someone want to trade an iBook for a computer made in 1998? I'm seriously curious how you justify the trade?

1) It's a G4 500mhz model with all sorts of other updated goodies, including 40g of space, firewire and USB 2.0.

2) I never said I wanted a current model of iBook. I would be happy with a 300-366mhz model.
