    I've an iBook for sale, as mentioned... I've a very good chance of buying a decently prices powerbook this week, and am considering it if I can shift me loverly iBook. It's only about 6 months old, bought from PC World. I use it every day, in preference to me very posh and expensive Dell, which should tell you something...

    /sales mode on:

    It's a 12" G4 800mhz ibook, with an (expensive) airport 54g wireless card and upgraded ram. 30gb drive, and lovely, lovely, lovely. Bang up to date in terms of OSX, and I'll quite happily flatten it, and supply in original immaculate packaging, ready for someone else to all of a sudden realise: "What the hell am I using a PC for..?"

    So, any offers. And no conkers, folks.

    I can do pics etc, if you're interested, drop me a shout at:

    colinmac at gmail dot com

    Edited: For flatten, read format and freshly install OSX, not batter flat wiv a hammer...

    I would *love* an iBook but I think if I bring another laptop into this house after just being made get rid of the last one, I'll not be too popular. Hopefully soon though :) Good luck selling yours Colin.

    Whee!

    Ok, folks. Otto, it's got an extra 512, giving it 640mb. Which is the max for an iBook.

    Yep. First dibs... As you posted first...

    LS, I'll certainly bear it in mind, drop me an email so I can get back to you perhaps later if Otto's sis isn't fussed...

    /Sales mode back on "Cmon folks, roll up, roll... er."
    /Stops.

    Oh, and I'm in Dunfermline, Scotland. But I ship worldwide ! :o)

    Och I'm sure a tenner will about cover it. If it doesn't, I'll make it up. I'm not trying to rip anyone off, just get me powerbook, you know..

    Should also have said it's got a slot load dvd drive/cdrw which I'm sure you'll know, but I reckon is the mutts... Battery life is around 4-5 hours, depending on screen brightness etc. It really is about the perfect apple, but I wanna widescreen !

    Buncha software like MS office 2004, and Roxio Toast for cd writing.

    Mate, she'll be nuts if she doesn't give you a decent offer. If she doesn't, I'll kill her! :)

    She hasn't answered her e-mail yet, looks like she's out of the office, but I know she's around.
