Hi all,
I have the following for sale:

"snow" iBook 500MHz G3 / 10GB HD / 384 MB RAM / DVD / 12" display
-owned since new in Septermber 2001. It's been back to Apple once to 
have the (very common problem) sticky hinge and dodgy power plug 
connector fixed. No dead pixels.
Comes with original box and CDs, and OS X 10.1 upgrade disc. Battery 
doesn't last long at all though.
Offers up to about �500 (have a look at ebay completed auctions), though 
I'll listen if anybody wants to explain why this computer is worth less 
(c.f. previous flame wars, particularly on cam.misc!)

iBook-compatible AirPort (802.11b, NOT "g" or "extreme") card. < 1 year 
old. Some iMacs need an adapter to use this. I don't have the original 
box here, but the CD it shipped with is out of date anyway. 
Offers in the �~40 region. See ebay.

La Cie 48x12x48 Firewire CDRW drive. In original box with mac/PC CDs. 
Not sure what its worth though. Note that this drive will burn faster 
than some computers (e.g. iBook 500!) can supply data!

I'd prefer it if the buyer collects from London N2 or Cambridge CB3 
since it'd save faffling around with postage.
