**SOLD**
This is my baby, or was my baby until I got another laptop.
12" Powerbook, 867MHz
1.12GB RAM (1GB stick)
80GB 5400RPM HD, upgraded from a 40GB
Airport Extreme card
very good battery, I bought it last year (2007)
Combo DVD/CD-RW drive
3rd party 60W AC adapter (the original Apple adapter died)
S-video/composite adapter
original discs and original box (yes, I kept the box)
Clean OS 10.4.x install
It's in truly excellent condition; no dings, dents, or scuffs (except a few small scratches on the bottom). Personally, I've not see another of this model in better condition. No bad or stuck pixels either. It's clean, clean, clean.
I can get more for it at the college or the newspaper, a lot more on ebay, but I've been on MacNN for years and years (my former alias was MacNStein) and I've decided to make someone on this forum a deal.
Price: $350, and that includes USPS shipping/insurance anywhere in the continental USA, I'd prefer USPS money order.
Ok, here's the rub, the feet won't stay on. I'll include 3 of them if you want them, maybe they can be crazy glued on, I have no idea because I never wanted to try it. Also, when you eject a disc it hangs on some felt inside the drive, it's no big deal since the disc still comes out fine and the drive reads and writes perfectly.
Sorry, the camera on my phone isn't great, but the unit is in exceptional condition.

third dibs... nice price.
The proper Apple way to get those feet to stay on: super glue. We did this all the time.

It's a great little laptop, I'm going to miss it. That little fella has been all over the world with me, in at least 20 different countries. It always ran like a champ. Take care of it!

The price wasn't important. I just didn't want to shove it in a drawer and forget about it, like I did with my old G3 Wallstreet. I'd rather it be used and enjoyed.

I'm not going to lie, that was probably the best deal I've seen on this forum.
