I'd suggest skipping the original Wallstreets. If you want a
Wallstreet era machine, get a Wallstreet 2. I picked up two in a
single lot on eBay for hardly anything a while back.

Wallstreets were made in 1998 and also were 14"???
I have queried the sellers, but they may simple not know the
answers so thought I would check with the, ahem, W\"WallStreet"
people!
There are two models of WallStreet, there are numerous differences
but the main one is model I had 12:" screen, model II had 14".
Stay away from the 12" ones, old, slow and small screen.
According to Everymac, there were three models:
- 233 MHz, 12-inch screen:

- 250 MHz, 13-inch screen:

- 292 MHz, 14-inch screen:

For what it's worth, my opinion on G3-era powerbooks is 'get a Pismo
and a retail copy of Tiger DVD - the Pismos all had DVD drives and
so will install Tiger just fine without having to bother with
XPostFacto'. However, that's speaking from my experience of doing a
lot of publishing production work on a Pismo and never owing a
WallStreet, while John appears to have had a lot of joy from his
Wallstreets.
Of course, more recent macs will be that bit more expensive and I
get the feeling that Sheryl has paid out a lot of cash already
