Well, I'll try again...after discussing this further with my friend, they decided to spend a little extra to try and get a newer computer. The upgrade costs for an older laptop weren't practical.
I have $500 total for either an AL powerbook or iBook G4... I'd like to find for them a revision a 12" or maybe even 15" al powerbook. I'll also consider any iBook G4 version. Anything better is just a bonus.
I'm located in monroe michigan, so any southeastern mi deal would be even better. I'd prefer ftf.
Let me know if you have anything or point me to a place where I could find something; I'm watching ebay very carefully.
