Hey. You copied my post almost word for word! Where's your creativity?

[Ira_Hayes]

True, you caught me. Short on time for classified ad creativity? Is that an ok excuse?

It really is a nice computer, though. Email if interested!

A buyer has just backed out due to 'financial' reasons.

This outfit is therefore still available!

[slboett]

You of course will include all of the original CDs for the software???

No, I'm just leaving the all the applications on the HD for the buyer. If the buyer would like me to erase everything, that's no problem either.

I am interested in your powerbook g3. Especially if you are interested in getting a powerbook g4. let me copy/paste my other post...

I'm sorry if I'm not suppose ot be posting this type of messages. If I'm not, just tell me thanks!

Does anyone want to buy a powerbook g4? Or even better, trade a pismo 500 for my powerbook g4 500 (you would have to add other items too of course). I also have an extra battery and an extra AC adapter to go along with this. I have all the packaging in mint condition (some things aren't even opened yet).

I got the powerbook 3/7/01 and its in perfect condition with no bad pixels. It has a 20 gig HD and Airport installed. The reason I am thinking of getting rid of it is 1) I want a cdrw built in (available for pismo), 2) dual-batteries would be nice, and 3) I don't like the silver/silver-white coloring, 4) I could use more money, and 5) buying a pismo now means I can buy a later revision g4 later .

Everything works fine except a few things I noticed...

- dvds make a funny sound when they are inserted... I would send it back to Apple. They eject and mount normally.
- at its darkest setting, it is much darker than lombard or pismo BUT at its brightest setting, it is BRIGHTER.
- the HD is louder than an IBM drive (its toshiba). Its not really *loud*, but compared to my Lombard its noticeably louder

other than that everything seems great. I can take pictures if you want them, I want to be as honest about everything as I can because I feel uncomfortable myself buying a used Powerbook G3.

Since I don't want to be flamed (I don't know if this post offends people) I won't put my contact information unless there is interest for this. I am not trying to make a profit, I will trade this for exactly what I paid for, maybe even less. Thanks!
