I thought this was funny.

OMG, it has a floppy drive!! Even my Athlon 64 laptop doesn't have a floppy .

It's not too surprising though but a little overpriced. About six months ago I was looking to sell a Macintosh Powerbook G3 (400MHz with upgraded 320MB PC100 RAM, 20GB HD, ATi Radeon mobility 8MB, internal 802.11b but the battery was shot). An online reseller offered me $550 knowing that the battery was shot...they would have sold it up for about $700. This was less than six months ago.

This laptop had no floppy drive! LOL

I reformatted the drive, bought a new battery, installed OSX, and gave it to my daughter instead!

ha ha!! hey it is an old laptop but it can still be used for something very useful. plug it into a chipped ecu for on the fly data logging and programming ( = car crap!! :~} ). or think.... mobile rom burning, or how about a frisbeeeee!
