I really need the funds for the coming semester, so please help a poor guy out. :lol: I'm also trying to buy a home right now which doesn't help. Great lappy for school, performs very well in everything I used it for. WebDesign, Photoshop, Word and so on. Bid Now. :Bingo:

CZ I'll give it a look. I was going to buy a refurbished IBM ThinkPad I'm not sure if I want to continue being a slave to MicroSoft.:evil:

I'm a microsux slave for the most part, and I'll admit it. But the Titanium PowerBook is the best laptop being made right now. IBM is very good as well, but are as expensive, and in some cases even more expensive then Apple. I needed a lappy for school, and decided to go with Apple. This one will go a lot cheaper then a brand new one, and is in brand new condition.

Plus, if you ever start to miss windows because you want to play a game or something that isn't suppored on the Mac, I'll install Windows 98SE on it under Virtual PC 5 ( which is included) before I ship it off. WinXP runs slow under emulation even if you have a GiG of RAM so thats why I use 98. Or, if you have a copy of 98 or 2000 (which also runs well) then you can install it as soon as you get this lappy. Then you have the best of both worlds ;)

Re:: Anyone wanna buy my PowerBook?

what about the Sony ones?

The Z series is awesome. Quite expensive again, but very light and powerful for what it is. I've heard mixed feelings on Sony Laptops, and I've never owned one so I don't know. Kind of like Toshiba, I guess they used to be the best of the best for Customer Service and have since gone to shit.

But if your going with Sony, check out the [url=http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start;sid=864QPHyE21sQAT2BnK0aNzOJyzgC9VRtgh4=?CategoryName=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers_TRSeries&Dept=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers]TR Series line[/url], very small, light and portable. I wish I could afford one.

Yeah it was a bit pricey, but I just started a new job in Manhatten and got a pretty big raise.. so this is my congradulations to myself. Plus I spend a lot of time on the train now so I can keep myself occupied with my mobile gaming monster :)
