I don't know if this is the proper forum for this, but here's the deal. I have a sawtooth Mac with the following specs -

Panther 10.3.9 [installed from 10.3.2 and upgraded]
AGP graphics
One 500MHz processor
1GB of RAM
60GB disk [I think. Didn't check before I shut it down]

I used this system to get my feet wet with the operating environment and have since purchased a dual 2.3 G5. I want to GIVE this system away with a legal copy of 10.3.2 Panther. No warranty, no other software and no follow-up support. I would like this system to go to someone who has a need for the system other than resale on e-bay. Perhaps someone that would like to experience OS X w/o the cost of the startup system as I did. At any rate, I'm not willing to ship the system so it's for pickup only. I'm located west of Washington D.C. so if you want/need a fully functional, although slightly dusty, sawtooth and are willing to make the effort to pick it up then it will go to the first person that sends the PM.

I wish you would ship this is a great deal for someone looking to introduce someone else to the mac. I would love to see this go to my mom and finally get her into the mac world.

Its awsome to see someone do this, Kudo's!

Find a teacher or a school who would put it to good use in your area.

I would want it If I wasnt economically stable(will create a download server), try to give it to someone who can't afford it but shows passion for creating.

Thanks for the interest. I really would like to keep it local as the shipping on this thing [due to weight and I don't have the original packing] would be pretty high. I do like the idea of giving it to a school. I live in Fairfax county which seems to be very picky on what is accepted as a donation. The area as a whole is fairly wealthy and the schools are well funded for computers and such.

Thanks all. The Sawtooth has a new home with CrazedVW in RIchmond about an hour and a half south of here.
