Ok im sure we have all read the infamouse P-P-Powerbook story somewhere online. its a tale of a kid who wanted to sell his powerbook on ebay and ended up taking a scamer through the ride of his life. heh.

its actually a very amusing read if you ever run across it. (a simple powerbook scam search on google should bring you results)

anyways....

here is what i would like to find out.

if this site is a fake escrow site. http://www.escrowstd.com/index.php?cmd=home_page

the reason i ask this is because a fellow classmate of mine asked me to take a look at the specs of a powerbook and then i could not believe the price they wanted for it. if i remember correctly this is what was offered for ONLY!~!! 850 dollars. (give me a break! LOL) PB G4 1.3 or 1.5GHZ ( i forget wat it was) 15 inch screen, and... 3 years of apple care. LOL!! i broke his hopes when i told him this was impossible and too good to be true. i also told him i would ask the masters on macnn.com for their advice. heh =)

wish i had more details on this but this is all i remember. oh yeah it was found on amazon.

your opinions please?

PS. still working at dell and its hell!!!

1. If something is too good to be true it normally is too good to be true.
2. Whenever somebody posts the expression 'LOL' on a board, somewhere a kitten dies a sad, lonely death.* Please, think of the kittens.
