I'm thinking about trading my 17PB 1Ghz/1G ram/60 for a dual 1.8 or 2.0. I have someone wanting to trade his dual 1.8 (stock config.) Do you think thats a good deal? Or should I hold out for a dual 2.0?
Take care,
Don

How could you even contemplate parting with your PB 17".

It never leaves my desk. I would do better off with a desktop computer. Maybe down the road I'll get a 12 powerbook for traveling. If the trade does not go through. I won't be hurt. The 17 powerbook it a great machine. Do you think that my 17PB 1ghz/1GB/superdrive/60GB with maybe a 100GB 800 firewire, icurve, and a powerbook sleeve. Is a good trade for a dual 2.0 stock config.? The powerbook is in perfect condition.
Take care,
Don

Will I traded a 17 powerbook for the dual 2.0. It did not come with a monitor. I'm happy with the deal. Now I'll start looking into the 12 powerbook after macworld in SF.
Take care,
Don
