I Bought a PowerBook!
Posted by Aaron Paxson on March 2, 2008
Well, I finally did it. I bought a PowerBook for myself off of EBay a couple of nights ago. Up till now, I’ve only had G4 Desktops at my house (and a broken down G3 and iBook). Well, I finally convinced my wife to allow me the small pleasure of bidding for a PowerBook G4.
Well, I won the bid, but I think it was a bit high. I didn’t care, though. I could have gotten a 13″ MacBook from Apple for $950 (with tax). I decided to get a 17″ PowerBook (1.6GHz) for almost the same price. It has a 17″ screen rather than the 13″ screen on the MacBook,120GB hard drive, and 1.5GB memory. I didn’t think I did too bad, though, I probably could have done better.
It can run Leopard, when I’m ready to buy it, but it comes with Tiger. But no iSight :-( oh well.
If you think I could have done better, don’t tell me. I’d rather not know. 
So, now I’m waiting for it to ship. I’m like a 7-year-old, sitting in an ice cream shop for that huge chocolate and fudge sundae in 110-degree weather.
