i dont know if anyone would be at all interested in any of these, but i have a couple old g3 powerbooks.
On the bottom specs say:
14.1TFT
233-mhz-512k
32mb
2gb HD
4mb VIdeo
CD/Modem

ebay has prices all over the place... sayyy $50 +shipping?
if you think the price is too much, pm me an offer

i also can strip them out for accessories and stuff

isp: nswetland =A_T= comcast =D_O_T= net <- never check it. use pm/aim
aim: darkness207

EDIT I added some pics... the one i grabbed is a little scratched up. they arent ALL like that, but since they were used by kids, they can be a little scary looking. i will make sure to turn them all on and test them to the best of my OS9 knowledge before i ship them out. I also may be adjusting the prices a little based on actual physical quality and accessories.. (i.e. if its really beat up, but you only want it for like your kid, so thats ok, i may be able to drop a few bucks off it, etc..)
If anyone wants to see something specific, or have me try something specific, let me know.
Im also going to get a weight on them and start getting people shipping quotes...

I too am interested if you have a working one w/ working battery and all (kind of need a lappy for school now) Let me know what you have and the accesories you have.

krimson

update. im going to try and snag a few more today and test them out to see if they all work, and also see if i cant find the original disks that came with them.
@Zentradi: how many are you looking for?

2 or more..

krimson

as of right now, i have 5... most/all of them dont seem to have working batteries... i have some spare batteries for them, so im going to plug all of them in overnight tonight and then turn them on in the morning, unplug them, and see if they stay on.. if they do, ill leave them run dead all day, then fully charge them again tomorrow night.

i will let you both know either way whether they have working batteries or not.

ALSO, it appears i may have 2 or 3 newer G3s at work, but they have missing keys/broken keyboards.. im going to see if maybe the keyboards are interchangeable...
they are 333mhz with 64mb of ram and like 4gb HDDs, and are about half the weight...
i may grab one of those, and a dead older-G3 and see if i cant interchange the keys.
they might be a *little* more money, though, depending on how much better they are.

sorry its been taking me so long, but i have been swamped with stuff to do lately.. work, and i just moved, and its just a little much for me to do all at once, but i promise ill get these figured out soon!

A word to the wise, update the firmware otherwise you will have mjor problems if you try to install OSX later. I'm bangin' my head cause I wiped the HDD on a G3 iMac and Now I can't install ubuntu or OSX because the firmware can only be updated in OS9 or earlier.... sigh...

batteries.com has good deals on batteries check there if you want a working battery for your laptop.

krimson

it let me do OSX, but ubunto hangs like a b*tch on a live cd (its edubuntu)

maybe ill try regular ubuntu and see if it lets me install it...

krimson
