What would you do for a Mac?
We are all painfully aware of the madness that happened down in Henrico County when the promise of cheap, old iBooks was offered up. Stampeding, yelling, and people urinating on themselves were all activities reported to have happened at this sale.The question becomes, dear reader, what would you do for a super cheap Mac? Keep in mind that the Mac in question would be just like those iBooks: used for a few years by students and perhaps in working condition.
I wouldn't even get up before 10am to get in line for one of them, how about you?

Well, I'm not long after spending a LOT of money on a Dual 2.7Ghz PowerMac G5 + 3Gb RAM, so I'm not going to do anything for a Mac for quite a few years thanks. I'll maybe get a new one in two or three years.

Anyways, at the point that I am at (fourteen years old with a PC and week old Mac Mini), for an iBook four years old, I would probaly mow all of the lawns on my street. I could use a good laptop here and there :D.

Sorry, the people who trampled other humans... There should be an orderly fashion to do this sort of thing, and for someone who teaches a lot of kids without scads of money to buy Macs, I KNOW they would still stand in line for an older mac. Why? Because they know it will work for them. Won't play games, but that's why they still have their Atari's.

August 18 2005 at 10:42 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI wouldn't do much for a G3 iBook, mostly because I already have one I want to sell. 500mhz, 10gb hard drive, new battery, 320mb ram, OSX 10.3*, good shape. What's it worth?
