Perhaps you didn't read that it comes with MS Office ($200.00 if you bought a new Mac, $400.00 purchased seperately) and a 30GB hard drive.

No one will pay extra for office. You should have set up a seperate auction.

Lateralus · May 10, 2003, 01:31 PM

I actually thought it was a good deal even before I noticed that it came with Office. If I hadnt picked up a Pismo PowerBook a few weeks ago I would probably have already gone for yours.

And ignore Digi-J, he is becoming a notorious thread crapper and board troll.

Anyways, good luck with the sale.

Why, because I pointed out the iBox is a scam? Just because you disagree with me on one topic makes me a Troll? nice.

Anyways, it is an ibook 500. There have been 4 or 5 major revisions since it was released. While there are some nice upgrades, it is still a 500mhz/66mhz bus with 8 MB of video RAM, and is close to two years old right?

And from the auction- "The following additional software will be provided on CD-ROM"

That means CD-R right? You can't place value on copied software.

No, in all honesty I agree with you on most points about the iBox. It isnt a matter of what you are saying, it is how you are saying it. Go over your own posts, they have a negative feel to them.

The fact that you are a thread crapper is pretty much indisputable.

You crapped my 'PC For Sale' saying that my price was too high, referring me to the no-name, no-capability parts listed on PriceWatch, thus proving you knew NOTHING of PC hardware and should have probably avoided my thread rather than post in it.

There was also the thread involving the watch and the Apple LCD, which you again proved your lack of familiarity with the product at hand.

And now there is this thread.

Mind you, these are only the craps I have seen, I am not here all the time.

Ooooh now I get it! You are mad because I warn people when they are getting ripped off. Go ahead, call me names- I'm not the one trying to screw people out of money.

Re-read what I said about your lack on knowledge on the items you choose to comment on.

"the watch" ???

Apple LCD? Hmmm, I was posting that I prefer LCDs because they don't hurt my eyes and CRTs for color accuracy only make sense if you have the expensive calibration hardware to go along with it... How am I ignorant?

Anyways, I'm sorry that you can't sell your worthless PCs here without someone pointing out that they could get a better deal elsewhere and how PC resale value is crap. And now you're mad that I'm pointing out that a used 2 year old iBook 500 isn't worth $150 less than a new iBook 800 with warranty? You're just an angry crybaby and you need a nap.

Yes you are, you do it with no good reason everytime you attack someone that is selling something.

*Sigh*

Huh?

Anyways, I'm sorry that you can't sell your worthless PCs here without someone pointing out that they could get a better deal elsewhere and how PC resale value is crap.

It's sold, and the guy who purchased it (And knows considerably more than you about PC hardware) absolutely loves it.

And now you're mad that I'm pointing out that a used 2 year old iBook 500 isn't worth $150 less than a new iBook 800 with warranty? You're just an angry crybaby and you need a nap.

No, I'm mad at you because you are a know-nothing troll who lacks any and all manners as well as respect for others.

Have a great day!

If the thread crapping and arguments don't stop, I'm going to start editing posts or asking for temporary removing of posting priveleges. Keep any negative comments to IM or email. KTHX.

CyberGreg, if you want this thread deleted and a new one posted, IM me.

well if a Mac user has a low IQ and deep pockets and really wants an iBook... I guess you lucked out.
