I had a small tradgedy on Sunday when my beloved PowerBook 520c committed Apple-cide on me and the monitor came unhinged from the keyboard! Don't ask, I was playing Scrabble, went to get some water, came back and I ended up with this:



Needless to say it doesn't work anymore! I love these old Macs though, you can play the cool old school games on them. Plus you don't have to worry about hurting them, as I only payed $20 for the thing to begin with.

So I went on an Ebay hunt for a replacement and upgraded a bit.



Powerbook G3 400mhz
128 Mb RAM
OS 8.6
Ethernet
CD-ROM, however I think this model has the capability for a hot swap DVD drive if I so desired.
Unknown HD Size- The seller didn't know how to find out! But I'm thinking 4GB-6GB.
Comes in original box as well as with the original manuals.

After a small bidding war I won for $58+Shipping! These things sold for $2499 in 2000, and I wanted one then, but didn't have $2499!
So I'll try one 9 years later for $58! It was shipped out UPS today, so should be here early next week.

Just thought I'd share my geeky excitement with you all. KTHX BAI! :thumbup:

Hope you like your new one!

I will take that as a compliment! :lick:

I received it already via the big brown truck! Dats fast shipping. Whoever had it took really good care of it, literally no scratches. The battery is of course dead, but I didn't expect it to work. The hard drive is 10GB. It's got Microsoft Office for Mac installed, which is nice. The keyboard is a "Sexy" bronze color. The internet browsing is ancient, however I can now get back to playing Scrabble Deluxe! :eyes:

Awww......sorry your puter bit the dust! But I'm glad you found another one! We have some games that wont play on our newer computers either. They were so much fun. I found someone that wrote a patch that will allow me to play my favorite OLD windows game on Vista. Unfortunately I use the Mac now!!! Figures!:twak:
