What's the best way to restore my PowerBook back to way it was when I first brought it from the store?
(I'm selling it and want to ensure no history of any sort.)
Thank you.
Mac. When you want something that works. Period.

Use the software restore cd's that came with your computer.
If you don't have those just do a clean install of OSX. If you want to go that extra paranoid mile zero your hard drive before the installation. This will ensure that no one will retrieve your data.
Hope that helps
