Details:

400 Mhz G3
512 Meg RAM
Tiger 10.4
Photoshop, Final Cut Express installed.
DVD-ROM
40 Gig HD
OS 9 Classic

I'll even throw in a copy of EVERY OSX install ever made so you can decide which environment you want to run.

This is a great deal, especially with the Software included. This runs Tiger like a CHAMPION.

Paypal preferred, make me an offer... If It's a half decent offer you can have it!

$50 shipped? :kidding:

I don't care much for the software on the machine, but it comes with the MacOSX Tiger license and documentations?

Oh and what is the owner history of this machine, persons and year owned.

Bump!

Ah, you've got the "Pismo" model then (that was the development codename for it, and which it's still referred to as).

Those ones are quite nice. They also have the added bonus of being able to boot up natively in OS 9 as well (which the newer machines cannot). If you like older computer games like I do, this model of PowerBook is awesome.

$245 is actually a pretty good deal. Free bump for you!

That is a steal for a good Pismo. It was the most trustworthy portable I ever owned. Very rugged machine. A bit heavy by todays notebook standards but great for anyone wanting an affordable portable!

Everymac says current value is still $450-550. Anyone wanting more info on your PB can go here: http://everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/stats/powerbook_g3_400_fw.html

Free bump!

All it has to be is a real copy. Mac OS doesn't use license keys or "genuine copy" certificates, maybe because the company was started by pirates? :)

I need the cash for a NAOMI setup I've sourced... or I'll trade this straight up for an ATOMISWAVE Motherboard.

If I can't make a deal by tomorrow, It's going on ebay.

The battery is dead on this thing, so I'll drop it to $225. Tomorrow morning it goes to the 'bay.

I really don't want to, but I have to move this thing!

That's what I meant by licenses, at the very least, I was expecting the installation discs.
