I need to sell my trusty lombard to raise money for osX and other
things. Before i believe i asked a little too much, so heres the specs
and new price-

Lombard
400MHz G3 w/1MB Cache
192MB RAM
6GB Internal, 8GB USB, and extra 10GB internal untested if you want
to install it you can.
OS 9.1
Good Battery
DVD
Old and New style power adapters (2 total)
S-Video to RCA dongle
56k Modem
10/100 Ethernet
1 PCMCIA slot Type II (button is broken off, but if inserted ejects
the card great. This does not affect performance and is probably a
cheap or easy fix)
Screen is great, 14.1" 1024x768, minimum keyboard marks and no dead
pixels
Powerbook SCSI
2 USB Ports
VGA and S-Video out
Case is in great shape with minimum wear from everyday use. Works
great!
Pre-Installed software:
Office 98
Internet Explorer 5
AIM
Hotline
Mac O.S. 9.1
MGI Photo Suite
Im going to say $800 obo instead of $850, plus i am including more this time. I will throw in a 7300/200
if you want to pay shipping and buy the laptop.

Call me 269-372-9587

or just simply reply.

Really need to sell this, so probably best offer by tonight or
tomorrow night. or make my day and give me $800

Thanks,
Geoff

that 'preinstalled software' is worthless unless you include the original discs complete with serial numbers, and don't use the 'backups' for yourself. apart from that, it looks like a nice package. hope you sell it.

OK guys, I REALLY Need to sell this, PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!! I need at least $750 for it, but I will include a free barebones G3 Beige Tower. I think it works but needs the zif, ram, etc..

$750

Please,
Geoff

Is all of the included software the original CDs and documentation, and any copies that have been made?

gdogkzo · Oct 14, 2002, 08:07 PM

Sorry, no original software or copies are included. Intrested?

How come everyone has to jump all over everyone who has "preinstalled" software? It is the same formula every time. Can't it just be implied you aren't supposed to do that? It seems to me that there are a ton of people that just want to show off their knowledge about copyright laws.

you can preinstall software all day long and sell computers with it, but it's not legal OR FAIR TO THE BUYER to not turn over the original discs.

who the hell wants to pay hundreds of dollars for a computer, then not actually OWN the software on it?

well... I'm an *ss so 5$ ;-)...

I would buy it, but I dont have the $$ yet. though if you keep throghing things in, you might as well include free shiping... and other goodies... since no one is intrested

Actually smart guy it can pose a liability to the owners of the forum if they dont prohibit or discourage it. Legal action can be taken by the companies if some basic precaution is not made to ensure this is not done here or on eBay.

So there is a point to it

Thank you Captain Obvious.

(Just wanted to say that.)
