I actually have an 867 Mhz PBG4 12" that Rigel donated to the space that i agreed to look into fixing... but it needs a 2.5" ATA HDD. If you can scrounge one of those up, I can probably get it functional.<div><br>
</div><div>Just a headsup, it *CAN* run Leopard but the 867s came only with USB 1.1 Ports... so no fast data access times over USB. Does have FW400 though...</div><div><br></div><div>-Steve<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

There is a product called "Goo Gone" which is great for removing
sticker residue (even the gluey leavings of paper-based stickers), and
is safe on most surfaces I've used it on (aluminum PowerBooks,
guitars). Try it on a small part of the MacBook plastic first, but I
bet it will be fine. You can get Goo Gone at Cliff's Variety and other
hardware/houseware stores.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

got a two year old Macbook (black) with an 80 GB drive. If you arrange
to come to the East Bay, I can give it to you. I was going to give it
to a friend who just moved to Japan but he left before we could arrange
it. I just wiped the system though you'll have to pull off the stickers
on it. The only issue is the battery in it is shit so it dies quickly
at times (you can get a new battery for around $120). Well, the other
issue is that it is used and not mint but it hasn't been beaten up.

I am in fairly desperate (choke!) need of a laptop. Ideally, a
powerbook g4 12" (because i am fond of them, and they are often
cheap-ish) but will consider anything else apple-ish and lap-ish and
able to at least feebly run PS7. I have some monies, but they wouldn't
fill a wheelbarrow, if you catch my drift.
<br>
anybody got or know of one winging around?
